These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Oceanic Tech Services website and any enquiries, consultations, or services provided by Oceanic Tech Services (“OTS”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.

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

  1. Use the site in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations

  3. Disrupt or interfere with the security or functionality of the website

  We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access if misuse is identified.

• Enquiries and Consultations

  Submitting an enquiry or booking a consultation does not create a binding agreement.

  Any advice provided during an initial consultation is high-level and informational in nature and should not be relied upon as formal professional or technical advice without a written agreement.

• Services and Engagements

  All paid services are subject to a separate written agreement, statement of work, or contract that defines:

  1. Scope of services

  2. Deliverables and timelines

  3. Fees and payment terms

  4. Responsibilities of each party

  In the event of a conflict, the written agreement will prevail over these Terms.

• Fees and Payments

  Fees, billing schedules, and payment terms will be outlined in the applicable agreement or proposal. Unless otherwise stated:

  1. Fees are exclusive of taxes

  2. Invoices are payable within the agreed timeframe

  3. Late payments may result in suspension of services

• Intellectual Property

  Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  1. All pre-existing intellectual property remains the property of the respective owner

  2. OTS retains ownership of methodologies, frameworks, tools, templates, and know-how used in delivering services

  3. Clients receive a licence to use agreed deliverables for their internal business purposes

• Confidentiality

  Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public, proprietary, or sensitive information disclosed during discussions or engagements, unless disclosure is required by law or agreed in writing.

• Limitation of Liability

  To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  1. OTS will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages

  2. Liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific services giving rise to the claim

     Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

• No Guarantees

  While we apply best-practice standards and professional expertise, we do not guarantee specific business, financial, or technical outcomes unless expressly stated in a written agreement.

• Third-Party Services

  Our services may involve third-party platforms, tools, or services (e.g., cloud providers, SaaS platforms). OTS is not responsible for the availability, performance, or terms of those third-party services.

• Privacy

  Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By using our website or submitting your details, you consent to the collection and use of information as described there.

• Changes to These Terms

  We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page. Continued use of the website or services constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
