Rules for using GoldenMeanProducts services, responsibilities of both parties, and limitations of liability.
GoldenMeanProducts provides product development consultancy and sustainable design services for South African manufacturers. All services are delivered based on a signed agreement that specifies scope, deliverables, and timeline. No service begins without a written confirmation from both parties.
Clients must provide accurate and complete information about their manufacturing processes, materials, and business constraints. Delays caused by incomplete or incorrect client information may result in adjusted timelines and additional costs. Clients are responsible for obtaining any necessary permits or approvals for their products.
GoldenMeanProducts is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our consultancy services or design recommendations. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees paid for the specific project giving rise to the claim. We do not guarantee that any product developed using our services will achieve commercial success or meet specific market performance targets.
All original designs, frameworks, and methodologies developed by GoldenMeanProducts remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. Clients retain ownership of their pre-existing intellectual property and any specific product designs they bring to the engagement. Deliverables created specifically for a client project are licensed for use by that client, not transferred.
Either party may terminate a service agreement with 30 days written notice. In case of material breach by either party, the non-breaching party may terminate immediately with written notice. Upon termination, clients must pay for all services rendered up to the effective date. Confidential information must be returned or destroyed within 14 days.
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page and take effect 14 days after posting. Continued use of our services after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. For material changes, we will notify clients directly via email.
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes will be handled in the courts of Cape Town. For legal questions or concerns, contact us at info@goldenmeanproducts.com or write to 638 Nicole Ridge.
