Terms of Service

Last updated: May 9, 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern services provided by Bekigo LLC, a Washington State limited liability company doing business as “Bekigo” (“Bekigo”, “we”, “us”) to clients (“you”). By engaging Bekigo for any service or purchasing any product, you agree to these Terms.

2. Services

Bekigo offers web hosting and maintenance, web development, custom software development, IT consulting, and computer hardware sales. The specific deliverables, timelines, and fees for an engagement are set out in a written quote, statement of work, or hosting plan, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

3. Fees and payment

Recurring services (hosting, maintenance) are billed monthly in advance via the payment method on file. Project fees are billed per the schedule in the statement of work — typically a deposit at start, balance on delivery. Hardware orders are paid in full before the order is placed with the supplier. Past-due balances may incur a 1.5% monthly late fee. Recurring services may be suspended if payment is more than 14 days late. Prices and fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, or other taxes; where we are required to collect such taxes (for example, on hardware sales), they will be added to your invoice unless you provide a valid resale or exemption certificate.

4. Hosting service availability

Bekigo targets 99.5% monthly uptime for hosted sites, excluding scheduled maintenance and causes outside our reasonable control (upstream provider outages, force majeure, client-caused issues). We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from downtime.

5. Client responsibilities

• Provide accurate billing and contact information.
• Provide the content, credentials, and approvals needed to complete the work.
• Use hosted services in compliance with applicable law and not for spam, malware distribution, or other prohibited content.
• Pay invoices on time.

6. Intellectual property

Custom code and design work delivered as part of a development engagement transfers to the client upon final payment, except for any pre-existing tools, libraries, or templates owned by Bekigo or third parties — these remain the property of their owners and are licensed to the client for use within the deliverable. Bekigo may keep a non-confidential portfolio reference unless the client requests otherwise in writing.

7. Termination

Either party may end a recurring service with 30 days’ written notice. Project engagements may be ended as described in the statement of work; work completed up to the termination date is invoiced and due.

8. Warranties

We perform services on a commercially reasonable, professional basis. Except as expressly stated in a written statement of work, the services and this website are provided “as is” and “as available,” and we disclaim all implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Hardware we sell carries the applicable manufacturer’s warranty, which we pass through to you; we do not provide any additional warranty on hardware beyond the return and defect handling described in our Refund Policy. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

9. Limitation of liability

Bekigo’s total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the services is limited to the fees paid by the client for the affected service in the three months preceding the claim. Bekigo is not liable for lost profits, lost data not covered by our backup retention, or other indirect damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this limitation may not apply to you in full.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Bekigo harmless from any third-party claim, damage, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the content you provide or host through our services, your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your infringement of another party’s intellectual property or other rights. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defense with our own counsel.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in King County, Washington.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients by email at least 30 days before they take effect.

13. General

These Terms, together with any statement of work, quote, or hosting plan we agree with you, are the entire agreement between us regarding the services and supersede any prior discussions or agreements on the same subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect and the unenforceable provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Notices may be given by email to the addresses the parties use for the engagement. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship; each party acts as an independent contractor, and these Terms create no rights for third parties. In any action to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
