Terms of Service

By engaging my services, you ("the Client") agree to these terms with Addis Abebayehu ("the Developer", "I", "me"), an independent freelancer operating as AddisPower in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

1. Project Agreement

Every project starts with a discussion to define the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and price — whether verbally or in writing. Once we both agree on the terms, work begins.

• For projects above 10,000 ETB, a 50% deposit is required before work starts
• The remaining 50% balance is due upon project completion and before final delivery
• For projects under 10,000 ETB, payment terms are agreed upon individually

2. Code Ownership & Intellectual Property

This means you own your website completely. You can host it anywhere, modify it, and use it as you wish. But you cannot resell, redistribute, or claim ownership of my personal development tools and methodology.

3. Security & Liability After Delivery

I test all projects thoroughly before delivery and follow security best practices. However, no website is 100% immune to threats. By accepting delivery, you acknowledge and accept these security risks as your own responsibility going forward.

4. Maintenance & Support

I offer flexible, no-contract maintenance tailored to your needs:

• Free Post-Launch Support: Bug fixes included — 1 month for Starter plan, 3 months for Professional plan
• Ongoing Maintenance: Available upon request — content updates, security patches, feature additions — priced per task or by retainer
• Flexible Agreements: Weekly, monthly, or quarterly maintenance — fully flexible, no lock-in, cancel anytime
• Emergency Support: Urgent issues handled at my standard rate, prioritized for existing clients

Maintenance is separate from the initial project cost and agreed upon in writing before any additional work begins. You are never locked into a maintenance contract you don't want.

5. Timelines & Delays

I work hard to meet all agreed deadlines. However, timelines may be extended if:

• The Client delays providing content, feedback, or approvals
• Payment is delayed
• Circumstances beyond my control occur (internet outages, health emergencies, force majeure)

I will communicate any delays promptly and work to resolve them fairly.

6. Revisions

Each project includes a reasonable number of revision rounds (typically 2-3) as agreed during the project scope discussion. Additional revisions or significant scope changes after work has begun may involve extra charges, which I will always discuss and agree with you first.

7. Refund Policy

Due to the custom, time-intensive nature of freelance work:

• Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced
• If I am unable to complete the project for reasons on my end, a partial or full refund will be negotiated fairly
• No refunds are provided after final delivery and Client acceptance of the work

8. Dispute Resolution

I value good relationships with my clients. If any issue arises:

1. We first address it through direct, honest communication
2. If unresolved, we attempt informal mediation
3. As a last resort, disputes are handled according to the laws of Ethiopia

9. Fair Use & Respectful Conduct

I reserve the right to decline or discontinue service if a Client engages in abusive, threatening, or disrespectful behavior. I believe in mutual respect and professional working relationships.

10. Acceptance of Terms

By requesting a quote, making a payment, or otherwise engaging my services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service.
