Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using our website or engaging our services. By accessing meridianintelligencepartners.com or working with us, you agree to be bound by these terms.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website at meridianintelligencepartners.com ("Site") and any services provided by Meridian Intelligence Partners ("Meridian," "we," "us," or "our"), a company based in the United States.
By visiting our Site, submitting an inquiry, or entering into a service engagement with us, you ("Client" or "you") agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site or services.
If you are using our services on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
Meridian Intelligence Partners provides technology consulting services including, but not limited to:
The scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for any specific engagement will be agreed upon in writing (email, proposal, or statement of work) prior to commencement of work. These Terms apply to all such engagements.
We reserve the right to decline any project or client engagement at our discretion, without obligation to provide reasons.
To enable us to deliver quality work efficiently, you agree to:
Delays caused by your failure to fulfill these obligations may affect project timelines. We are not responsible for delays or additional costs arising from client-side delays.
Payment terms will be specified in your project proposal or service agreement. Unless otherwise stated in writing, payment is due within 14 days of invoice date.
Invoices not paid by the due date may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. We reserve the right to suspend work on your project until outstanding balances are resolved.
Due to the nature of consulting and custom development work, all payments are generally non-refundable once work has commenced. Refund requests for exceptional circumstances will be considered at our sole discretion and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes applicable to your purchase of our services.
Upon receipt of full payment for a project, Meridian assigns to you all ownership rights in the final custom deliverables created specifically for you under that engagement (e.g., custom website code, custom designs, written content created for you).
We retain all rights to our pre-existing intellectual property, tools, frameworks, methodologies, and know-how used in the course of delivering services. Any third-party components (open-source software, licensed stock assets, third-party APIs) remain subject to their respective licenses, which we will disclose to you.
You grant us a non-exclusive license to use your content, trademarks, and materials solely for the purpose of providing the agreed services.
Unless you explicitly request otherwise in writing, we reserve the right to display completed work in our portfolio and case studies, without disclosing confidential business information.
Both parties agree to treat as confidential any proprietary, sensitive, or non-public information received from the other party in connection with a project ("Confidential Information").
We will not disclose your Confidential Information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law or to our service providers who need it to deliver services on our behalf (and who are bound by similar confidentiality obligations).
This obligation does not apply to information that: (a) becomes publicly available through no fault of ours; (b) was already known to us; (c) is independently developed without use of your Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order.
We warrant that we will perform our services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. We will re-perform any services that fail to meet this standard if notified in writing within 14 days of delivery.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED ABOVE, OUR SERVICES AND SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. We do not warrant that our services will meet all of your requirements, that deliverables will be error-free, or that results will be guaranteed. Technology results — including website traffic, search rankings, AI performance, and similar outcomes — depend on many factors outside our control.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Meridian Intelligence Partners and its members, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services or Site, including but not limited to: loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational harm.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising from or related to a specific project shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to us for that project in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice (email is sufficient) if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within 10 business days of notice.
You may cancel an active project at any time with written notice. Upon cancellation, you agree to pay for all work completed and expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation. We will deliver all completed work product upon receipt of final payment.
We reserve the right to terminate any engagement immediately if we determine, in our sole discretion, that continuing would require us to engage in unlawful or unethical conduct.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Before initiating formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in New York, NY, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Nothing herein prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our Site or services after changes constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms.
For active project engagements, any material changes to Terms affecting that project will be communicated to you directly and will require your acknowledgment before taking effect.
