Terms for using Directorism

Directorism is an agency that plans, designs, builds, improves, and supports custom marketplaces and directory platforms for clients. We are not selling a self-serve marketplace SaaS or a guaranteed business outcome.

You may use this website to learn about our services, submit an inquiry, use public tools, book calls, chat with us, and request pricing. Do not misuse the site, probe private systems, submit unlawful content, scrape at abusive volume, or interfere with service operation.

We provide strategy, design, engineering, growth support, and technical execution. We do not guarantee revenue, rankings, funding, marketplace liquidity, ad performance, investor interest, or any specific business result unless a signed agreement expressly says so.

Website pricing, examples, calculators, and AI/chat answers are informational. A project becomes binding only when the parties approve a written proposal, statement of work, invoice, checkout, or service agreement. Scope changes may affect timeline, price, and delivery sequence.

A free 45-minute Project Discovery call for qualified build opportunities. We clarify fit, scope, budget, and the next decision; it is not standalone consulting. A $395, 60-minute standalone Strategy Session for direct advice. It is not a fee to receive a proposal. If responsible pricing requires research, workshops, or technical investigation first, we will propose a separately scoped paid Discovery Phase before any build proposal.

You are responsible for providing accurate project information, timely feedback, access to required systems, legal/compliance requirements for your industry, and approvals needed to move work forward. Delays in these items can delay delivery.

Paid calls, work credits, deposits, milestones, retainers, and other products may be paid through checkout, invoice, or payment link. Taxes, payment processor rules, card verification, and fraud controls may apply. Payment terms shown at checkout or in a signed agreement control that purchase.

Purchased Work Credit hours do not expire. They are finite prepaid capacity, not an unlimited support entitlement or guaranteed start time. We estimate eligible requests and obtain approval before consuming Work Credit hours. The purchase receipt, accepted checkout terms, usage history, and remaining balance record the applicable commercial terms.

You receive GitHub source access after the first payment. Intellectual-property ownership transfers after final payment under the signed agreement. Directorism retains ownership of our pre-existing tools, methods, templates, internal systems, reusable components, and know-how. Third-party software, content, data, and licenses remain subject to their own terms.

In-scope revisions remain included until the agreed acceptance criteria are met. New features, changed requirements, and other out-of-scope requests are scoped and billed separately before work starts. The 30-day defect period begins at recorded closeout and covers defects against the agreed scope. New requests and changed requirements are scoped separately. A project-specific signed agreement controls where it expressly differs.

We treat non-public project details, business plans, credentials, and platform information as confidential. If your project requires a formal NDA or stricter security terms, those should be handled before sensitive materials are shared.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Directorism is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or lost-profit damages arising from website use or services. Any service-specific limits are defined in the signed agreement.
