These Terms govern your use of winterscode.com (the "Site") and any consultation, proposal, or pre-engagement communication with Winters Code. Engagement for actual development work is governed by a separate signed Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW); those documents control over these Terms where they conflict.
Use of the Site
The Site is provided for informational purposes, to describe our services, showcase portfolio work, and accept consultation requests. You agree not to misuse the Site by attempting to bypass security controls, send unsolicited bulk inquiries, or scrape content for resale.
Consultations and Quotes
Free consultations are offered at our discretion and may be subject to a travel deposit for in-person visits outside the immediate Bandon area. Quotes are valid for fourteen (14) days from issue and may be withdrawn or revised based on additional scope information provided after the quote was prepared.
No Engagement Without a Signed SOW
Inquiries, conversations, exchanged emails, and consultation discussions do not create a binding engagement. Work begins only after both parties sign a Statement of Work and Winters Code receives the agreed deposit.
Intellectual Property
Content on the Site (text, design, code samples, portfolio assets) is the property of Winters Code or its clients and is protected by copyright. Portfolio work is shown with client permission and remains the property of the original client. You may not copy, redistribute, or use Site content for commercial purposes without written permission.
No Warranty
The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or freedom from errors.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Winters Code shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site shall not exceed one hundred US dollars ($100). Liability arising from contracted development work is governed by the applicable MSA, not these Terms.
Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites (GitHub repositories, client sites, vendor documentation). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party sites.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Coos County, Oregon.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
