Terms of Service & Engagement Standards

These terms govern your use of ceadigital.io and outline the standard protective terms included in CEA Digital client Statements of Work (SOW).

1. Custom Project Proposals & Milestone Billing

Every software build is governed by a written Proposal and Statement of Work specifying your custom milestone payment schedule (such as 50/50, 40/30/30, or monthly retainers). When an engagement includes both a build and ongoing monthly care, the monthly care subscription begins when your production site or app goes live unless otherwise specified.

2. The One-Line Monthly Care Boundary

Ongoing monthly care (starting from $115/month) includes cloud hosting, SSL certificates, automated backups, security updates, uptime recovery, and routine edits to words, prices, business hours, photos, or service lists. New screens, new database tables, new user roles, or new third-party integrations are quoted separately up front before work begins.

3. Intellectual Property & Client-Owned Accounts

Upon final payment of all agreed build milestones, full ownership of custom front-end code and project deliverables transfers to the client. Third-party platforms (Google Cloud, Firebase, Stripe, Square, Clio) remain subject to their respective provider terms.

4. SMS & Electronic Communications

If you explicitly opt in to SMS notifications, message frequency varies and message/data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out or HELP for assistance.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South Carolina law, CEA Digital's aggregate liability under any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client to CEA Digital during the three (3) months preceding the claim.
