Terms of Service

Draft prepared: 26 October 2026 · Effective date: [Confirm: date of launch]

Draft for review. These are preliminary Terms of Service for an early-stage business. Details highlighted like [this] must be confirmed before the website is launched. This draft is not legal advice; we recommend having it reviewed by a qualified legal professional.

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your use of this website and set out the general terms on which DaGoatedScale (“DaGoatedScale”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provides its services. DaGoatedScale is an AI automation and digital solutions brand based in Nigeria that works with businesses worldwide.

DaGoatedScale is operated by [Confirm: the full name of the individual or legal entity that operates DaGoatedScale, and its registration details if it is registered].

By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Using this website

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You must not:

  • use the website in any way that breaks applicable laws or regulations;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or the systems behind it;
  • introduce viruses, malicious code or anything designed to disrupt the website; or
  • use the enquiry form or our contact details to send spam or unsolicited advertising.

We may update, suspend or withdraw any part of the website at any time without notice.

3. Information on this website

The content on this website is general information about our services. It is not professional, legal, financial or technical advice for your specific situation. We work to keep it accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it is complete or error-free.

The solutions shown in the “Solutions we can build” section are illustrative examples. They demonstrate the kinds of systems we can build; they are not completed client projects or case studies and do not represent results achieved for any client.

4. Enquiries and proposals

Sending an enquiry does not create a contract between you and us. When you would like to work with us, we will provide a written proposal or agreement that sets out the scope, deliverables, timeline, fees and payment terms for your project.

Work begins only after you have accepted that proposal or agreement. If anything in a signed proposal or agreement conflicts with these Terms, the proposal or agreement takes priority.

5. Fees and payment

Fees, payment schedules and accepted payment methods are set out in each proposal. [Confirm: default currency, any deposit required before work begins, accepted payment methods and terms for late payment]

Unless a proposal says otherwise, the costs of third-party software, subscriptions, advertising spend and usage-based services (for example AI platform usage) are paid by the client.

6. Your responsibilities as a client

To help projects run smoothly, clients agree to:

  • provide accurate information and respond to questions and feedback requests within a reasonable time;
  • give us the access to systems and accounts that a project needs;
  • make sure they have the right to use any content, data or materials they provide to us; and
  • use the solutions we deliver lawfully, including meeting their own obligations under data protection and marketing laws.

7. No guarantee of results

We work hard to deliver high-quality solutions, but we do not guarantee specific business, financial, marketing or performance outcomes — for example revenue, sales, leads, search rankings, advertising performance or cost savings. Results depend on many factors outside our control, including market conditions, how a solution is used and the performance of third-party platforms.

8. AI and third-party services

Many of our solutions use artificial intelligence. AI systems can produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete or unexpected. We design solutions with appropriate safeguards and human oversight, but clients should review important AI-generated content and decisions before relying on them.

Our solutions may depend on third-party platforms and services, which are subject to their own terms, pricing and availability. We are not responsible for changes, outages or decisions made by third-party providers, although we will help where we reasonably can.

9. Intellectual property

The content, design and branding of this website belong to DaGoatedScale or its licensors. You may not copy or reuse them without our permission, except as allowed by law.

Ownership of project deliverables is set out in each proposal or agreement. Unless agreed otherwise, once all fees for a project have been paid, the client may use the deliverables created specifically for them. We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools, methods, templates and know-how, and we may continue to use general skills and knowledge gained during a project.

[Confirm: whether DaGoatedScale may show completed client work in its portfolio, and whether client permission will be requested first]

10. Confidentiality

We treat information about your business that you share with us during enquiries and projects as confidential. We use it only to evaluate and deliver our services, and we do not disclose it to others except where needed to deliver the services (for example to service providers bound by confidentiality) or where required by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, business or goodwill; and
  • our total liability for any claim relating to a project is limited to the fees you paid us for that project in the [Confirm: e.g. 12 months] before the claim arose.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

This website may link to other websites and services. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If a dispute arises, we will first try to resolve it with you informally and in good faith. If it cannot be resolved that way, it will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of [Confirm: e.g. Lagos State, Nigeria].

If you are based outside Nigeria, this does not take away any rights you have under the mandatory laws of your own country.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the effective date shown at the top. Changes do not affect projects already agreed in writing, unless both parties agree.
