Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-28 Version: 1.0

1. Acceptance

By visiting this website (bonded-pi.vercel.app, "the Site") or by submitting any information to us through the Site, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site or submit information through it.

These Terms apply to the marketing website only. If you enter into a separate commercial relationship with Bonded for a custom build, that relationship is governed by the contract we sign with you. The contract takes precedence over these Terms where they overlap.

2. Who you are dealing with

The Site is operated by Bonded.

Trading entity: Felipe Ramon Torres and Che Cole, trading as Bonded (a partnership)
Jurisdiction: England and Wales
Contact: bondeddevelopment@gmail.com

We handle all queries by email. If you need a postal address for a formal legal notice, ask us by email and we will provide one.

Throughout these Terms:

"Bonded", "we", "us", "our" refer to the entity above.
"You", "your" refer to the person visiting the Site or submitting information through it.
"Site" refers to bonded-pi.vercel.app and any subdomain or successor domain we operate it from.
"Services" refers to the information, descriptions, and contact functionality made available through the Site. It does not refer to any custom software development engagement we enter into with you; those are governed by a separate contract.
"Submitted Content" refers to anything you send us through the Site, including contact-form fields and any free-text context you provide.

3. Permitted use

You may use the Site to:

Read about Bonded`s services, philosophy, case studies, and team
Submit a contact-form inquiry if you want to discuss working with us
Share the URL or link to the Site

You may use the Site at any time. We do not require an account.

4. Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

Submit information that is false, misleading, or impersonates someone else
Submit information on behalf of a third party without their consent
Use the contact form to send spam, advertising, malicious content, or other communication unrelated to a genuine Bonded inquiry
Attempt to access parts of the Site, server infrastructure, or database that are not made publicly available
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of any non-open-source component of the Site
Scrape the Site at a rate that interferes with normal operation (we apply rate limits to the contact endpoint and reserve the right to apply broader rate limits if required)
Use any automated system (bot, crawler, scraper) to interact with the Site beyond what is permitted by our robots.txt
Use the Site for any unlawful purpose, or to encourage or facilitate any unlawful activity
Probe, scan, or test the Site for vulnerabilities without our prior written consent (responsible disclosure inquiries are welcome at bondeddevelopment@gmail.com)

If you breach this section, we may block your access to the Site, ignore your contact-form submissions, retain logs of the breach, and where appropriate involve law-enforcement authorities.

5. Intellectual property

5.1 Our content

The Site, including its design, copy, code (where not open-source), logo, and brand assets, is owned by Bonded or used under licence. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from our content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law (for example, fair-dealing / fair-use rights to quote a portion of our copy for review or commentary).

You may link to the Site from any other website, provided the link is fair, accurate, and does not imply endorsement we have not given.

5.2 Your Submitted Content

You retain ownership of any Submitted Content you send us through the Site. By submitting Content to us, you grant Bonded a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to:

Read and process your Submitted Content for the purpose of responding to your inquiry
Store your Submitted Content in our internal systems for the retention period set out in our Privacy Policy
Share your Submitted Content internally within Bonded with the staff who need to see it to respond to you

This licence is the minimum needed to operate a contact-form-and-response process. We do not use Submitted Content for any other purpose. We do not publish, redistribute, or sell Submitted Content. We do not use it to train AI models. We do not share it with third parties beyond the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy.

This licence ends when we delete your Submitted Content (see the retention period in our Privacy Policy) or when you ask us to delete it, whichever is sooner.

5.3 Third-party content

Some content on the Site (for example, client logos in case studies, third-party tool screenshots) is owned by the relevant third party and is used by Bonded under licence or under fair-use principles for commentary and case-study illustration. Nothing on the Site grants you any right to use that third-party content.

6. Service representations and disclaimers

The Site describes Bonded`s services, capabilities, and case studies. The descriptions are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" for informational purposes. We work hard to make them accurate and current, but:

We do not warrant that the descriptions are complete, error-free, or always up to date
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure against attack, or free of bugs
Case studies describe past engagements and outcomes; past outcomes do not guarantee future outcomes for any new engagement
Pricing bands or indicative timelines on the Site are illustrative; the actual price and timeline for any engagement are set in the contract we sign with you

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement) for the Site itself. The custom software we build for paying clients has its own warranties set in the engagement contract; those warranties are not affected by this disclaimer.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be excluded by agreement. The Site is aimed at businesses, but if you visit it as a consumer, the protections the law gives you still apply and this disclaimer does not override them.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

7.1 What we are not liable for

Bonded is not liable to you for:

Any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages (for example: lost profits, lost data, lost opportunity, reputational harm) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site
Any damages arising out of your reliance on the descriptions, case studies, or pricing bands on the Site without entering into a separate contract with us
Any damages arising out of a third-party service provider`s outage, security incident, or breach (Vercel, Supabase, etc.; our liability for our own conduct is set out below)
Any damages arising out of your own breach of these Terms, including acceptable-use breaches

7.2 Cap on our direct liability

Subject to clause 7.3, where we are liable to you despite the exclusions above, our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with the Site (other than under a separate signed engagement contract) shall not exceed the greater of: (a) GBP 100; or (b) the total fees you have paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Nothing in clause 7.2 limits either party`s indemnification obligations under clause 8.2.

7.3 What we cannot exclude

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Bonded`s liability for:

Death or personal injury caused by our negligence
Fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or wilful default
Any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law

These exceptions apply regardless of how the claim is framed.

8. Indemnification

8.1 You indemnify us

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bonded and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

Your breach of these Terms
Your breach of any applicable law in your use of the Site
Your submission of Content that infringes the intellectual property or other rights of a third party
Your use of the Site to harm or defraud another party

8.2 We indemnify you

Bonded agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless you from any third-party claim that the Site content provided by Bonded (excluding any Submitted Content you provided to us and excluding any third-party content displayed on the Site under licence) infringes the intellectual property rights of that third party. This indemnification does not apply where the claim arises from your misuse of the Site or your modification of any content we provided.

The indemnities in this section are mutual: your obligation in clause 8.1 is limited to harm caused by your own Submitted Content or your misuse of the Site, and our obligation in clause 8.2 covers third-party intellectual-property claims about the content we provide. Both sit outside the liability cap in clause 7.2.

9. Privacy

Our handling of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy on a data-protection matter, the Privacy Policy takes precedence.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Site at any time. We may suspend or block your access to the Site at any time if:

You breach these Terms (including the acceptable-use rules in section 4)
We have reason to believe your use of the Site presents a security or operational risk
We are required to by law or by order of a competent authority

Suspending or blocking your access does not delete any Submitted Content you previously sent us (deletion is governed by our Privacy Policy). If you want your Submitted Content deleted, email bondeddevelopment@gmail.com per the data-subject rights process in the Privacy Policy.

Sections that survive termination

The following sections survive any termination of your use of the Site: section 5 (Intellectual property) for any Submitted Content licence we still rely on; section 6 (Disclaimers); section 7 (Limitation of liability); section 8 (Indemnification); section 11 (Governing law); section 12 (Changes to these Terms); section 14 (General).

11. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including its formation) is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer (rather than a business) and applicable consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, this clause does not affect that right.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If the changes are material (for example, we add a new liability cap, change the governing-law clause, or add a new acceptable-use restriction), we will:

Update the Last updated date at the top of this page
Increment the version number
Note the change in the changelog below
For very material changes, where we have your email address from a prior contact-form submission, we will notify you by email and give you a reasonable opportunity to read the updated Terms

Continued use of the Site after we publish updated Terms means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Contact

For questions about these Terms:

We handle all queries about these Terms by email. If you need a postal address for a formal legal notice, ask us by email and we will provide one.

14. General

14.1 Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of these Terms remain in full force. The invalid part is to be interpreted in the way closest to the original intent that is enforceable.

14.2 No waiver

If we do not enforce a right or provision of these Terms, that is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Bonded.

14.3 Assignment

We may assign these Terms to any successor to our business (for example, on a corporate restructure or sale). You may not assign these Terms.

14.4 Entire agreement on the Site surface

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Bonded about your use of the Site. They replace any prior understanding on that subject. They do not replace or affect any separate signed contract we have with you for a custom-software engagement.

14.5 Headings

The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of the Terms.

These Terms reflect how Bonded operates the Site today. We will review them as the business grows, and a qualified commercial lawyer may suggest refinements over time. If anything here is unclear, email us at the address in section 13 and we will explain it in plain terms.
