Website and Engagement Terms

1. About these Terms

By using this website, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you contact TIQET for business purposes, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the person or organisation you represent.

2. What TIQET does

TIQET designs and implements practical business systems, software, automations, workflows, reporting, and operating processes for founder-led businesses. The exact services, deliverables, responsibilities, timeline, and commercial structure vary by engagement.

3. Website information is not an offer

Website content is general information and does not constitute professional advice, a binding quotation, an offer of funding, or an offer to acquire or issue shares. Contacting TIQET does not create an engagement, partnership, fiduciary relationship, joint venture, or obligation to proceed.

4. Engagement agreements

Work begins only when the parties accept a written proposal, statement of work, services agreement, partnership agreement, or similar document. That agreement will take priority over these website Terms if there is any conflict and should address:

• scope, deliverables, milestones, and acceptance criteria;
• fees, payment dates, expenses, and applicable taxes;
• client dependencies, access, approvals, and decision-making responsibilities;
• intellectual property, licences, confidentiality, and data handling;
• change requests, delays, suspension, termination, and handover;
• any profit-share, revenue-share, equity, or governance arrangements.

5. Profit share and equity

Profit-share and equity structures are considered selectively and are never created by website statements, email discussions, or preliminary work. Any such arrangement is subject to due diligence, commercial and legal agreement, and signed documentation covering definitions, calculation methods, reporting, payment, ownership, governance, vesting, exit rights, and dispute procedures.

6. Client responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing timely, lawful, and accurate information; appointing decision-makers; obtaining necessary permissions; and reviewing deliverables and decisions. TIQET is not responsible for delays or defects caused by incomplete information, unavailable access, third-party restrictions, or delayed client decisions.

7. Intellectual property

Each party retains intellectual property it owned or developed independently before an engagement. Ownership and licensing of project deliverables will be stated in the applicable written agreement. Unless that agreement says otherwise, TIQET retains its reusable methods, templates, tools, libraries, know-how, and general system-building techniques, while the client retains its business data and confidential information.

8. Third-party products

Projects may depend on hosting providers, payment processors, messaging platforms, cloud services, open-source software, or other third-party products. Their availability, pricing, security, and terms are controlled by those providers. TIQET will identify material dependencies where reasonably possible but cannot guarantee third-party services.

9. Confidentiality

TIQET will treat non-public information shared for an enquiry or engagement as confidential and use it only to evaluate, plan, deliver, support, or administer the relevant work, except where disclosure is authorised or required by law. Detailed confidentiality obligations may be included in a separate agreement.

10. Cancellation and termination

The website does not sell services or accept online orders. Cancellation, notice periods, work completed, outstanding fees, refunds, handover, and continuing obligations are governed by the signed agreement for each engagement. Nothing in these Terms limits a right that cannot lawfully be excluded under South African law.

11. No guaranteed outcome

TIQET aims to build useful systems and support sound execution, but does not guarantee revenue, profit, funding, valuation, market adoption, regulatory approval, or any other commercial result. Business outcomes depend on factors beyond TIQET’s control, including client decisions, execution, market conditions, and third-party services.

12. Liability

Any project-specific warranties, remedies, exclusions, and liability limits will be set out in the signed engagement agreement. For use of this informational website, TIQET will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on website content, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. External links

This website may link to TIQET projects or third-party websites. Links are provided for reference and do not make TIQET responsible for another website’s content, availability, security, or privacy practices.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any mandatory consumer or data-protection rights remain unaffected.

15. Changes and contact

TIQET may update these Terms when its services or legal obligations change. The effective date above will be updated when material revisions are published. Questions may be submitted through the contact form.
