4. Website Information and Service Descriptions

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on our website is accurate and current.

However:

• Images, demonstrations and interface previews may be illustrative.
• Features shown in demonstrations may not be included in every service package.
• Availability of specific technologies and integrations may depend on third-party providers.
• Pricing and product specifications may change.

Nothing on our website should be interpreted as a binding offer to deliver a specific project unless confirmed in a formal quotation, subscription agreement or other accepted contractual document.

5. Enquiries, Quotations and Project Approval

Submitting an enquiry through our website, email, telephone or another communication channel does not automatically establish a service contract.

Our general engagement process is:

1. You provide information about your requirements.
2. We review your enquiry and may request additional details.
3. We discuss the proposed solution and scope.
4. We prepare a quotation, proposal or service agreement.
5. You review and accept the applicable commercial terms.
6. Any required initial payment is made.
7. Work begins according to the agreed schedule.

A project is considered approved when the relevant quotation, proposal, agreement or order is accepted in the agreed manner.

We reserve the right to decline enquiries or projects that fall outside our capabilities, availability or acceptable business practices.

6. Subscription Services

Section 4 Solutions may offer selected digital products through monthly or annual subscription arrangements.

These may include:

• Portfolio websites.
• Business websites.
• E-commerce websites.
• Booking and reservation websites.
• Other standardised digital platforms introduced by us.

Subscriptions provide access to an agreed digital solution under the conditions stated in the applicable subscription quotation or agreement.

6.1 Advertised Starting Prices

Prices displayed on our website are starting prices and are expressed primarily in United States Dollars (USD).

The final price may depend on:

Depending on the arrangement, subscriptions may be billed monthly or annually.

An initial setup or configuration fee may apply.

Any waiver, reduction or promotional arrangement relating to setup fees must be confirmed in writing.

Our current enquiry-led sales process involves manually prepared quotations and invoices. A subscription does not automatically begin merely because you submit an enquiry.

6.3 Subscription Activation

A subscription becomes active once the relevant agreement has been accepted and the required initial payments have been received, unless another arrangement is expressly agreed in writing.

Implementation and delivery timelines will be confirmed separately.

6.4 Renewals

Subscriptions may renew at the end of each agreed billing period, subject to the renewal terms in the applicable agreement.

We will communicate applicable renewal fees and payment arrangements.

Where a payment becomes overdue, we may:

• Send payment reminders.
• Request settlement of outstanding amounts.
• Temporarily restrict access to relevant services.
• Suspend hosting, maintenance or support where contractually permitted.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify customers before suspending services, except where immediate action is necessary for security, legal or operational reasons.

Suspension does not automatically cancel outstanding payment obligations.

Customers may request additional pages, functionality, integrations, design changes or other modifications.

Work outside the included subscription scope may be quoted separately.

We will seek approval of additional costs before commencing chargeable additional work.

Unless otherwise agreed, cancellation does not automatically entitle a customer to a refund for services already delivered, completed setup work or subscription periods already consumed.

9.1 Standard Cancellation

Under the standard cancellation arrangement:

• The customer may request cancellation in accordance with the agreed notice period.
• Outstanding invoices and other contractual obligations remain payable.
• Eligible customer content and business data may be exported in accordance with the agreed export process.
• Access to hosted services may end after the applicable cancellation or transition period.

Any export deadlines, available formats, associated charges and transition arrangements will be communicated in the applicable agreement.

9.2 Optional Buyout

A separate buyout arrangement may be offered where a customer wishes to acquire additional rights or take over a solution beyond the standard subscription arrangement.

Buyout availability, pricing, deliverables and intellectual property rights will be determined separately and confirmed in writing.

A buyout is not automatically included in a subscription.

9.3 Customer Data and Content

Subject to applicable law and contractual rights, customers retain ownership of their original business content, branding, media and business data.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, payment for a service does not automatically transfer ownership of Section 4's underlying reusable codebase, frameworks or proprietary technology.

11.3 Third-Party Software

Projects may use third-party software, libraries, plugins, APIs, fonts, media or other licensed materials.

Those materials remain subject to their respective third-party licence terms.

We cannot transfer ownership of third-party intellectual property that we do not own.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Section 4 Solutions will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from the use of our website or services.

This may include loss of profits, business opportunities, anticipated savings, reputation or data, where such exclusions are legally permissible.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Any contractual limitation of liability for a particular project or subscription will be stated in the applicable agreement.

Customers remain responsible for maintaining appropriate copies of their important business content and data, subject to any backup obligations expressly accepted by Section 4.

18. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to a service where:

• Required payments remain outstanding.
• The customer materially breaches an applicable agreement.
• The service is used unlawfully.
• Continued operation presents a material security risk.
• A third-party provider requires suspension.
• We are legally required to suspend the service.

Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue.

Suspension or termination does not remove payment obligations that accrued before the suspension or termination date.

Additional termination procedures may be set out in a separate agreement.

19. Privacy and Data Protection

Our handling of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

By using our website, you acknowledge that personal information may be processed in accordance with that policy and applicable data protection legislation.

Where Section 4 processes personal information on behalf of a customer, additional data processing terms may apply.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our business, services, technology or legal obligations.

The latest version will be published on our website with an updated effective date.

Changes to an existing customer's commercial agreement will be handled in accordance with that agreement and applicable law.

Continued use of our website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised website Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Ghana, unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise or mandatory applicable law requires a different result.

Where a dispute arises, the parties should first attempt to resolve it through good-faith discussions.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue the remedies available through the competent courts or other legally recognised dispute resolution mechanisms in Ghana.

Nothing in this section prevents a customer from exercising mandatory consumer or legal rights available in their jurisdiction.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent legally permissible.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms govern general use of the Section 4 Solutions website.

They do not replace a separately accepted quotation, subscription agreement, statement of work, service-level agreement or other project-specific contract.

Where a specific agreement conflicts with these general Terms, the specific agreement will govern the relevant engagement to the extent of the conflict.
