📜 ZUTOMO Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

🎯 Welcome to ZUTOMO

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the services, websites, and applications offered by ZUTOMO (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our services—specifically the development of your Digital Product Selling Website and/or engaging our Strategic Consultancy—you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. They constitute a binding legal agreement between you (the Content Creator or Client) and ZUTOMO.

1. Description of Services

ZUTOMO specializes in providing two core services to Social Media Content Creators:

A. Dedicated Digital Product Selling Website Development (Platform Build)

  • Scope: We agree to build and deliver a fully functional, self-hosted e-commerce storefront dedicated to selling your digital products (courses, templates, downloads, etc.), as detailed in the mutually agreed-upon Project Scope Document.

  • Deliverables: The final deliverable includes the website files, necessary premium theme/plugin licenses (where applicable and transferable), configuration for digital sales, and access credentials.

  • Exclusions: Our Platform Build fee does not include third-party costs such as ongoing website hosting, domain registration fees, or email marketing platform subscriptions, which remain the client’s responsibility.

B. Strategic Consultancy Services

  • Scope: We provide high-level, customized guidance on business scalability, product strategy, audience monetization, and sales funnel optimization.

  • Deliverables: These services typically result in strategic plans, audit documents, roadmap recommendations, and scheduled consultation time.

2. Client Responsibilities and Obligations

As the client (Content Creator), you agree to the following:

  • Timely Provision of Content: You will provide all necessary logos, high-resolution media, branding guidelines, written product descriptions, and other content required for the website build in a timely manner as requested by ZUTOMO. Delays in providing content may result in corresponding delays in project completion.

  • Review and Approval: You agree to review all mockups, wireframes, and the Project Scope Document promptly and provide written approval (or feedback) within the timeframes specified in the Project Schedule.

  • Legal Compliance: You are solely responsible for ensuring that all content, products, and services offered on the final website comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws, including copyright, trademark, and consumer protection laws.

3. Fees, Payment, and Refunds

  • Service Fees: Fees for the Platform Build and Strategic Consultancy are outlined in the separate Service Agreement or Quote provided to you.

  • Payment Terms: Payment for the Platform Build service is required upfront to initiate Phase 1 (Planning and Discovery). Payment terms for Consultancy will be detailed in the specific agreement.

  • Refund Policy: All refund eligibility is governed by the specific terms set forth in our separate Refund & Ownership Policy page, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

4. Intellectual Property and Ownership

A. Client Ownership (The ZUTOMO Advantage)

  • Upon final delivery and full payment for the Platform Build service, ZUTOMO transfers and assigns 100% full and unrestricted ownership to you of:

    • The website’s design, code, structure, and configuration.

    • All content, including text, images, and data you provide.

    • All user and customer data collected via the website.

B. ZUTOMO IP

  • ZUTOMO retains ownership of certain proprietary development tools, pre-existing general coding libraries, internal development processes, and any confidential strategic recommendations provided during the Consultancy phase.

5. Limitation of Liability

ZUTOMO strives for excellence, but certain factors are beyond our control.

  • No Guarantees: We provide no guarantees regarding the specific conversion rates, sales volumes, or financial performance of the website once launched. Financial success is dependent on the quality of your content, audience size, and marketing efforts, which are outside the scope of our development service.

  • Liability Cap: To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZUTOMO shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues. ZUTOMO’s total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services provided shall in no event exceed the total amount paid by you to ZUTOMO for the specific service from which the claim arose.

6. Indemnification

  • Your use of the completed website or consultancy advice.

  • Any claims related to the content, products, or services you sell through the website (including copyright infringement, product liability, or deceptive advertising).

7. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Insert ZUTOMO’s Jurisdiction/State, e.g., the State of California], without regard to its conflict of law principles.

8. Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our services following any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
