Terms of Service
The binding agreement between Scalar Group LLC and every user who accesses this site or engages our services.
Agreement and definitions
This Terms of Service agreement is a binding contract between you and Scalar Group LLC, a Washington, D.C. company. By accessing this website or engaging our services, you accept these terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
Throughout this document, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Scalar Group LLC. "You" and "your" refer to the individual or entity accessing the site or contracting our services. "Services" means all work product, consulting, design, development, and advisory offerings described on this site.
Your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any future revisions to these terms. We will post updates here. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically.
Nothing in this agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship. You remain an independent party. We remain an independent foundry.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force. This agreement is governed by the laws of the District of Columbia.
Services we provide
Scalar Group LLC offers digital architecture consulting, luxury web design, and technical development. Our core offerings include Executive Advisory, Webflow development sprints, and bespoke platform builds for high-ticket beauty educators and B2B SaaS companies.
Executive Advisory is a private engagement. We diagnose your digital infrastructure, identify conversion gaps, and deliver a strategic roadmap. This service starts at $15,000. It is not a template. It is not a course. It is direct counsel.
Webflow development sprints are fixed-scope engagements. We build custom front-end systems with clean code, fast load times, and precise visual hierarchy. Scope is defined before work begins. Changes outside scope require a new agreement.
We reserve the right to decline any project. We do not take work that compromises our standards or dilutes our focus. A proposal is not a contract. Work begins only after a signed agreement and initial payment.
All deliverables remain our intellectual property until full payment is received. Upon final payment, ownership transfers to you as specified in your project agreement.
Your obligations
You agree to provide accurate information, timely feedback, and all necessary materials for your project. This includes brand assets, copy, images, and access credentials. Delays in providing these items delay the project timeline.
You are responsible for the content you supply. You must own the rights to all materials you give us. We are not liable for copyright infringement in assets you provide.
Communication happens through designated channels. We respond within two business days. You agree to consolidate feedback and designate a single point of contact for your project.
You agree not to resell, redistribute, or white-label our work without written permission. Our designs are built for your business, not for your clients to repackage.
If you abandon a project for more than 30 days without communication, we may terminate the agreement. Deposits are non-refundable in this case.
Payment terms
All engagements require a signed agreement and a deposit before work begins. The standard deposit is 50% of the total project fee. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of final files.
Executive Advisory engagements start at $15,000. This minimum threshold reflects the depth of the engagement. We do not offer hourly billing or partial advisory sessions.
Invoices are due within 14 days of issuance. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month. We pause work on any project with an outstanding balance past 30 days.
All fees are quoted in US dollars. You are responsible for any transaction fees, wire transfer costs, or currency conversion charges. Taxes are additional where applicable.
Deposits are non-refundable and non transferable once work has begun. If you cancel a project mid-engagement, you owe payment for all work completed to date. We retain ownership of all unpaid deliverables.
Intellectual property rights
All design assets, source code, and deliverables created by Scalar Group LLC remain our exclusive property until full payment is received. This includes wireframes, mockups, custom code, and any documentation produced during the engagement. We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio unless a non-disclosure agreement states otherwise.
Upon final payment, you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the deliverables for your business. This license covers the specific project defined in your agreement. It does not grant you the right to resell, redistribute, or modify the work for third-party commercial use without written permission.
We retain ownership of all pre-existing materials, tools, and frameworks we bring to the project. This includes internal code libraries, design systems, and proprietary methodologies. You receive the right to use these materials as part of your final deliverable, but not to extract or repurpose them independently.
Any third-party assets used in your project, such as fonts, images, or plugins, remain subject to their original licenses. You are responsible for maintaining those licenses after project completion. We will identify all third-party dependencies in your project documentation.
If you fail to make final payment, all deliverables remain our property. We may withhold files, revoke access, and pursue collection through legal channels. Ownership transfers only when the balance clears.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to protect confidential information shared during the engagement. Confidential information includes business strategies, financial data, client lists, proprietary processes, and any materials marked as confidential. This obligation survives the termination of the agreement.
We will not disclose your confidential information to third parties without your consent. We may share information with subcontractors or contractors only when necessary to complete the work, and only under equivalent confidentiality obligations.
Our handling of confidential client data and internal workflows strictly adheres to our zero-tracking cookie standard and anonymized AI protocols as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
You agree to protect our confidential information with the same care. This includes our pricing structures, internal methodologies, and any unpublished work product. You may not share our proposals, roadmaps, or strategic documents with competitors or outside parties.
Confidentiality does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully obtained from another source. It also does not apply to information that must be disclosed by law, court order, or regulatory requirement.
If either party breaches confidentiality, the non-breaching party may seek injunctive relief. Monetary damages alone may not be sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information.
Liability and warranties
Scalar Group LLC provides all services on an as-is basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the performance, merchantability, or fitness of our work for any particular purpose. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, or conversion rates.
Our total liability for any claim arising from the engagement is limited to the amount you paid for the specific service in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. This includes lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.
You agree to indemnify and hold Scalar Group LLC harmless from any claims arising from content you provide. This includes copyright infringement, trademark violations, or any misrepresentation in materials you supply for the project.
We are not responsible for third-party platform changes, API deprecations, or service disruptions that affect your website after delivery. Webflow, hosting providers, and payment processors operate under their own terms and may change without notice.
We do not warrant that our work will be error-free or uninterrupted. We will correct defects reported within 30 days of delivery at no charge. After that period, corrections are billed as new work.
Termination
Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice. If you terminate, you owe payment for all work completed through the termination date. We will deliver all completed work product upon receipt of that payment.
We may terminate the agreement if you breach any material term and fail to cure the breach within 14 days of written notice. Material breaches include non-payment, failure to provide required materials, or misrepresentation of your business.
We may terminate immediately if you engage in conduct that damages our reputation, violates applicable law, or compromises the security of our systems. No refund is provided in these circumstances.
Upon termination, you must return or destroy all confidential materials received from us. We will return your materials within 30 days of termination, provided all outstanding invoices are paid.
Post-termination obligations survive the end of the agreement. This includes confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation of liability provisions. These terms remain enforceable regardless of how the engagement ends.
Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. Any dispute arising from this agreement or the services provided shall be resolved in the courts of Washington, D.C.
You consent to personal jurisdiction in the District of Columbia. You waive any objection to venue in these courts. This applies regardless of where you access the site or receive services.
Before filing any legal action, both parties agree to attempt resolution through direct negotiation. We will engage in good faith discussions for at least 30 days. If negotiation fails, either party may pursue legal remedies.
Any claim must be filed within one year of the event giving rise to the claim. Claims filed after this period are barred. This limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The prevailing party in any legal action is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. This includes fees incurred in arbitration, mediation, or court proceedings.
Changes to terms
We may update these terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. The date of the last revision appears at the top of this document.
For material changes, we will provide notice through the website or via email if you have an active engagement with us. Material changes include modifications to payment terms, liability provisions, or termination rights.
Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the site and notify us in writing.
Changes do not apply retroactively to completed engagements. The terms in effect at the time of your project govern that specific engagement. New terms apply only to future work.
We recommend reviewing this page before each new engagement. Your signature on a project agreement confirms you have read and accepted the current terms.
