Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

This document is a placeholder draft provided for transparency. It will be reviewed and finalized by counsel before it is considered legally binding. Specific engagement terms for paid projects are governed by the proposal or statement of work executed for that project.

1. Acceptance

By accessing https://miyokoadvisory.com or purchasing a product or service from Miyoko Advisory, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please do not use the site or services.

2. Nature of the work

Miyoko Advisory provides website design and development, brand direction, digital systems setup, automation, and related professional services. We also sell digital products such as the Self-Build Blueprint.

3. No guaranteed results or revenue

We do not guarantee any specific business outcome, traffic level, conversion rate, search ranking, or revenue figure. Marketing and business success depend on many factors outside our control, including your offer, market, execution, and follow-through. Anything we say about outcomes is illustrative — never a promise.

4. Not professional advice

Nothing on this site or in our deliverables constitutes legal, accounting, tax, financial, investment, medical, or other professional advice. For decisions that require such advice, consult a licensed professional in the relevant field.

5. Client responsibilities

For service engagements, you agree to:

  • Provide content, images, and materials in a reasonable and timely manner
  • Provide timely feedback during defined revision windows
  • Make decisions necessary for the project to progress
  • Pay invoices on the agreed schedule

Delays caused by missing client input may extend the project timeline.

6. Scope, revisions, and change orders

Each engagement specifies a scope and a number of revision rounds. Additional work outside the agreed scope is handled via a written change order at our then-current rates. Out-of-scope requests delivered casually (e.g., over email) without a written change order are at our discretion to accept or decline.

7. Payments and deposits

Service projects begin with a deposit (typically 50%) sent by Stripe link after we align on scope. The remaining balance is invoiced before launch. Deposits are non-refundable once project work has begun, except as specified in a written agreement. Late payments may pause work and incur reasonable late fees.

8. Digital product purchases (Self-Build Blueprint)

The Self-Build Blueprint is a digital product delivered electronically. All sales are final upon delivery. If you experience a delivery failure (e.g., the file did not arrive), email info@miyokoadvisory.com and we will resolve the issue. The Blueprint is licensed for personal and single-business use. You may not resell, redistribute, or share its contents publicly.

9. AI usage disclosure

We use AI tools (including Claude by Anthropic) internally to support research, drafting, and code generation. All outputs are reviewed, edited, and finished by a human. We do not represent AI output as human-only work, and we do not represent human work as AI-only output.

10. Third-party tools

Projects may integrate third-party tools and services (e.g., Stripe, Calendly, Google Workspace, hosting providers). Each is governed by its own terms. We are not responsible for outages, changes, or pricing decisions made by third-party providers.

11. Intellectual property

Upon final payment, you receive ownership of the deliverables produced specifically for your project, except for: (a) our underlying tools, templates, and code libraries, which remain ours and which we may reuse; and (b) any third-party assets (e.g., licensed fonts, stock imagery) which remain governed by their original license. We retain the right to display the work in our portfolio.

12. Portfolio and case study rights

We may display delivered work — including images, copy, and screenshots — on our website, in case studies, in proposals, and on social media. If you'd prefer this not happen for a specific engagement, raise it before or during the project.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of these terms or any engagement shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the engagement giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or business interruption.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims arising from content you supplied, your use of the deliverables, or your business operations.

15. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach not cured within a reasonable period after written notice. Fees for work performed up to termination remain payable.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE / JURISDICTION PLACEHOLDER], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction unless otherwise required by law.

17. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site or services after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
