These Terms of Service govern the working relationship between you (the client) and One Guy Consulting. By engaging services — whether through a signed proposal, statement of work, deposit payment, or written confirmation — you agree to the terms outlined on this page. Please read them carefully before your engagement begins.
These are general terms that apply to all engagements. A specific Statement of Work (SOW) or project proposal is issued for each project and takes precedence over these general terms where the two conflict.

​
Acceptance of Terms

By engaging One Guy Consulting — including but not limited to submitting a project inquiry, signing a proposal, or making a payment — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service. If you are entering into an engagement on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these terms.

​
Scope of Work

The deliverables, timeline, and objectives for your engagement are defined in the project proposal or Statement of Work provided to you prior to the start of the project. One Guy Consulting will perform the services described in that document to the best of its ability and within the agreed timeline. Any changes to the scope of work — including additions, modifications, or removals of deliverables — must be agreed upon in writing by both parties before the additional work begins. Verbal agreements or informal requests do not constitute a change to the scope. Changes to scope may affect the project timeline and total fees.

​
Payment Terms

Invoices are due within 15 calendar days of the invoice date unless a different schedule is specified in your Statement of Work. Payment instructions are included on each invoice. If a payment is not received by the due date, One Guy Consulting reserves the right to pause active work on your project until the outstanding balance is resolved. Continued delays in payment may result in project cancellation under the termination terms described below. You remain responsible for fees accrued for work already completed, regardless of whether the project reaches completion.

​
Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment for a given project or milestone, all rights to the deliverables transfer to you. You are free to use, modify, publish, and distribute those deliverables as you see fit. Until full payment is received, all work product remains the intellectual property of One Guy Consulting. Partial payment does not constitute a transfer of rights. Unless a confidentiality agreement or NDA is in place, One Guy Consulting retains the right to reference your project and display finished work as part of a professional portfolio. The consultant will not disclose proprietary business information in doing so — only the nature and outcome of the work. You may request a portfolio opt-out at any time, and One Guy Consulting will honor that request going forward.

​
Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat project details, communications, and shared materials as confidential. One Guy Consulting will not share your business information, project details, or data with third parties except as strictly necessary to deliver the agreed services. For engagements involving particularly sensitive information, a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) can be put in place before work begins. See the Confidentiality page for full details on default confidentiality practices and NDA options.

​
Limitation of Liability

One Guy Consulting provides services on a best-effort basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, One Guy Consulting is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your engagement — including but not limited to lost profits, business interruption, or data loss. In all cases, One Guy Consulting’s total liability to you for any claim arising from a specific engagement is limited to the total fees you paid for that engagement. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise).

​
Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing at least 5 business days’ written notice to the other party. Written notice may be delivered by email. Upon termination, you are responsible for payment of all work completed through the termination date, calculated at the agreed project or hourly rate. One Guy Consulting will deliver any completed work product for which full or partial payment has been received. Deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in your Statement of Work. If One Guy Consulting terminates the engagement due to non-payment or a material breach of these terms, the same payment obligations apply.

​
Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from your engagement with One Guy Consulting will be resolved in good faith through direct communication wherever possible. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to pursue resolution through appropriate legal channels under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.
