Terms
This page covers the website. It is not the contract for an engagement. Engagement terms, including scope, rate, notice and intellectual property, are agreed in writing with you before any work starts, and they take precedence over everything here.
Read it, quote it, link to it.
You are welcome to read anything here, quote it with attribution, and link to any page. Nothing is gated and there is no login. We ask only that you do not attempt to disrupt the site or use it to send anything unlawful through the contact form.
The site is provided as it is. We keep it accurate and we will correct anything you tell us is wrong, but we do not warrant that it will be available without interruption.
Ours, except where it is cited.
The writing, the design and the code of this site are ours. The research we cite belongs to the organisations named alongside each figure, and every number on the Insights pages links to its source so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Client work shown on the Work pages is described with permission, and client names are withheld where the contract requires it. Testimonials are from named people who agreed to be named.
Trade marks and product names mentioned across the site belong to their owners. Naming a technology is not a claim of affiliation with, or endorsement by, whoever makes it.
Nothing on this website is an offer.
Timeframes described here are what we typically achieve, not promises. "Shortlist within 24 hours", "deployed inside two weeks" and "reply within 24 hours" describe how we work and are not contractual commitments until they appear in a signed engagement.
The same applies to anything said on a first call. A call is a conversation, not an agreement, and we will not treat it as one in either direction.
Agreed in writing, before anything starts.
Every engagement has its own written agreement covering scope, rate, invoicing, notice period, confidentiality and intellectual property. Where that agreement and this page disagree, the agreement wins.
Two positions we hold to across every contract, so that you know them before you ask: code we write for you is yours in your repository from the first commit, and engagements end on a notice period rather than a lock-in. If your procurement process needs those in their own paperwork, send it over and we will sign it.
We date this page when it changes.
The date at the top is the last time anything on this page was edited. We do not notify anybody about changes to website terms, because nobody wants that email. Material changes to an engagement agreement are a different matter and are agreed with you directly.
Ask, and we will answer plainly.
Write to info@zekiexperts.com. If your legal or procurement team needs terms in their own format, say so and we will work from their paper.
