Terms of Service

This website, mrvictor.dev (the “Site”), is operated by Laxtic Software Services, the trading name under which Victor Ezeigwe carries on business as an independent software developer and consultant from Lagos, Nigeria, working remotely with clients worldwide. In these terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean Laxtic Software Services; “you” means you.

By accessing or using the Site reading it, searching it, submitting a form, subscribing to the newsletter, following a purchase link, or booking a call through it you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into them by reference. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the Site.

These terms apply to the Site itself. They do not replace any separate written agreement between us: where a signed contract, statement of work, order form or product licence covers the same subject, that document governs and prevails over these terms to the extent of any conflict.

You may use the Site if you are at least sixteen years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means that organisation.

You may not use the Site if you are barred from doing so under the laws of Nigeria or of your own country, or if you are subject to sanctions that would make our dealing with you unlawful.

The Site is a personal professional presence. It exists to do four things:

• Publish a portfolio and biography projects, ventures, writing, teaching, events and public profiles, presented for information.
• Receive enquiries about software development and consulting work, through the contact form and, where offered, a scheduling link.
• Point to digital products and courses for sale, each of which is purchased and delivered through an external checkout processor rather than on this Site.
• Offer an email newsletter you may subscribe to.

Everything published on the Site is provided for general information. It is not professional advice technical, legal, financial or otherwise and it is not an offer, warranty or commitment in respect of any particular outcome. Content changes without notice: figures, availability, project status, prices and descriptions are accurate when published and may not be accurate later.

Unless something says otherwise where it appears, everything on the Site the text, copy, biography, article excerpts, photographs, illustrations, layout, typography, visual design, the “mrvictor.dev” and “Laxtic Software Services” names and marks, and the source code of the Site itself is owned by Laxtic Software Services or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws in Nigeria and internationally.

Code samples and snippets. Where we publish a code sample, a repository link or a gist, the licence attached to that sample governs it. Where a repository carries an open-source licence, that licence not these terms sets out what you may do with the code. Where no licence is stated, the code is published for reading and evaluation only, and no licence to reuse it in your own work is granted by implication.

Third-party marks. Client names, company logos, platform names and technology marks appearing on the Site belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively, to identify work and tools. Their appearance is not a claim of ownership, nor an endorsement of us by their owners.

If you believe material on this Site infringes your rights, write to [email protected] identifying the material and the right concerned, and we will investigate promptly.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view the Site for your own information and for legitimate business dealings with us.

You may:

• Read, print or save pages for your own reference
• Quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back to the source page
• Link to any page on the Site, provided the link is not misleading about the source

You may not, without our prior written permission:

• Republish, syndicate, mirror or redistribute the Site’s content, in whole or in substantial part
• Sell, licence or otherwise commercialise any part of it
• Present it, or any derivative of it, as your own work including as a portfolio, personal site, template or case study
• Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, credit or attribution notice

Products and courses listed on the Site are sold and delivered through external checkout processors payment links that take you off this Site to the processor’s own hosted page. This matters in three ways.

• No payment details are handled here. The Site never collects, transmits or stores card numbers, bank details or any other payment credential. All of that happens on the processor’s infrastructure, under its security and compliance regime.
• The processor’s terms apply to the transaction. When you buy, you enter that processor’s checkout flow and accept its terms, its privacy policy and its payment, tax, invoicing and dispute procedures alongside these terms.
• Prices and taxes. Prices are shown in the currency stated on the listing and may change at any time before purchase. Depending on your location and the processor, sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar charges may be added at checkout, and currency conversion or cross-border fees may be applied by your bank or card issuer. Those are outside our control.

Licence to what you buy

Unless the product’s own licence file says otherwise, buying a digital product, template, source-code package, e-book or course grants you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use it for your own projects personal or commercial and to modify it for that use.

You may not:

• Resell, redistribute, sublicense, lease, lend or give away the product or any substantially unmodified derivative of it, whether free or paid
• Publish it, or any substantial part of it, in a public repository, file-sharing service, course, template marketplace or asset pack
• Share your account, download link or course access with anyone outside your organisation, or use one licence across multiple organisations
• Remove or alter licence, copyright or attribution notices contained in the files

A licence purchased by an organisation covers that organisation’s own team and its own client projects; it does not permit distributing the product itself as a deliverable to third parties. If you need broader rights redistribution, white-labelling, an extended team licence write to [email protected] and we will quote for it.

We may revoke a licence, without refund, where a purchaser has materially breached these restrictions.

Digital products are delivered immediately and in full, and cannot be returned in any meaningful sense. Our position is therefore straightforward:

• All sales of digital products are final once the file has been delivered or the course has been accessed, except where a refund is required by law or granted under the paragraphs below.
• Broken or misdescribed goods are refunded. If a product will not download, is corrupt, is materially different from its description, or duplicates a purchase you already made, contact us within fourteen days of purchase and we will fix it or refund it in full.
• Statutory rights are untouched. If consumer law in your jurisdiction gives you a right of withdrawal or a statutory refund right for digital content, that right applies regardless of anything in this section.
• The processor executes the refund. Because payment is taken by an external checkout processor, refunds are issued through that processor and are subject to its process and timing. Its published refund policy applies alongside this one; where the two differ, whichever is more favourable to you prevails.

Refund requests, and anything that has gone wrong with a purchase, go to [email protected] with the order reference from your receipt.

This is the most important clause on the page, so it is stated plainly: an enquiry sent through this Site does not create a contract, an engagement or a professional relationship of any kind.

• The Site is not the engagement. The contact form, the scheduling link and any correspondence that follows are a conversation about whether we should work together. They are not an offer capable of acceptance, and nothing on the Site rates, availability, capability descriptions, past work is a commitment to perform services for you.
• Work begins only under a separate written agreement. Every engagement is governed by its own signed contract or statement of work setting out scope, deliverables, timelines, fees, payment terms, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, warranties and termination. Until such a document is signed by both sides, no obligation to deliver anything exists, and no fee is payable.
• No guarantee of availability. Capacity is limited and is allocated at our sole discretion. We may decline any enquiry, for any reason or none, and we are under no obligation to explain a decision. Availability statements published on the Site reflect a moment in time and may be out of date when you read them.
• No confidentiality before it is agreed. Please do not send confidential, proprietary or trade-secret information through the contact form. We treat enquiries discreetly as a matter of professional practice, but no duty of confidentiality arises until a mutual non-disclosure agreement or an engagement contract containing confidentiality terms is in place. Send a short summary first; we will put an NDA in place before you send anything sensitive.
• Estimates are estimates. Any indicative timeline, budget range or technical opinion given during a pre-contract conversation is a professional impression based on incomplete information, not a quotation, warranty or fixed price.

Subscribing to the newsletter means you consent to receiving email from us about our work, writing, products, courses and occasional announcements. There is no fixed schedule and no minimum commitment on either side.

• Only subscribe your own address. We do not currently send a double-opt-in confirmation email, so submitting an address is what subscribes it. Do not enter an address that is not yours.
• Unsubscribing is honoured immediately. Use the unsubscribe link in any issue, or email [email protected] and ask. We do not ask why and we do not send win-back sequences.
• We do not sell or rent the list. Your address is used to send you the newsletter and nothing else. See the Privacy Policy for how it is stored and how long it is kept.
• We may discontinue it. The newsletter may be paused, changed or ended at any time without notice or liability.

You agree not to use the Site, or anything reachable through it, to:

• Break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or facilitate either including defamation, harassment, and infringement of intellectual property or privacy rights
• Submit false, misleading or impersonating information through the contact or subscription forms, or subscribe an address you do not control
• Send unsolicited commercial messages, chain messages, phishing attempts or malware through any form on the Site
• Scrape, crawl or harvest at abusive volume. Ordinary indexing by reputable search engines and answer engines is welcome, and the Site publishes robots.txt, llms.txt and sitemap.xml precisely so that machines can read it efficiently and politely. Automated collection that ignores those files, imposes an unreasonable load, evades rate limits, or copies the Site wholesale for republication is not permitted.
• Probe, scan, penetration-test, reverse-engineer or otherwise attempt to breach the Site, its application programming interface, its administrative portal or its hosting, or to access any account, data or system you are not authorised to access
• Interfere with the Site’s operation or availability denial-of-service traffic, flooding the forms, injecting code, or corrupting the analytics that the Site records
• Circumvent any technical limit, rate limit, access control or security measure, or use an automated system to submit forms

Security research. If you find a genuine vulnerability, we want to hear about it. Report it privately to [email protected] before disclosing it anywhere else, do not access or alter data that is not yours, and do not degrade the service while testing. Reports made in that spirit are welcomed and will not be treated as a breach of these terms.

We may block, rate-limit or refuse service to any address or actor that breaches this section, and may report unlawful activity to the appropriate authorities.

The Site links to and hands off to services we do not control: code repositories, social platforms, publishing platforms, course platforms, the scheduling tool, and the external checkout processors that handle every purchase.

Those links are provided for convenience and because the destinations are relevant. They are not an endorsement, and we have no responsibility for the content, availability, accuracy, security, pricing, terms or privacy practices of any third-party service. Your dealings with them are between you and them, on their terms. Read those terms before you rely on them or pay them anything.

Where a third-party service fails a checkout outage, a platform removing content, a scheduling tool losing a booking our liability is limited exactly as set out in section 14, and we will help where we reasonably can without assuming responsibility for the third party’s performance.

We make no promise that the Site will be available without interruption, at any particular speed, or free of error. It is a static site backed by a small self-hosted application programming interface: it may go down for maintenance, deployment, provider outage or reasons entirely outside our control.

We may change, suspend, restrict or discontinue any part of the Site a page, a section, a form, a product listing, the newsletter at any time and without notice or liability. We may also block access from a given address or region where necessary for security or legal compliance.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and everything on it are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory.

We specifically disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that: the Site will meet your requirements; access will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; content, availability statements, prices or figures are current or complete; defects will be corrected; or that the Site or the servers that make it available are free of harmful components.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us or through the Site creates any warranty not expressly stated here. Nothing in this section limits any warranty or guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded in particular, consumer guarantees that apply to you under mandatory local law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Laxtic Software Services nor Victor Ezeigwe will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, data or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Site, its content, any product purchased through it, or any third-party service reached from it, whether the claim is framed in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised that such damage was possible.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Site and to anything bought through it is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid us for the product or service giving rise to the claim in the twelve months before the claim arose and (b) fifty United States dollars (US$50).

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where a jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, the exclusions and limits above apply only to the extent that jurisdiction permits.

Liability arising under a signed engagement contract or statement of work is governed by that document, not by this section.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Laxtic Software Services, Victor Ezeigwe and anyone acting on their behalf from and against any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense including reasonable legal fees arising out of or connected with:

• Your use or misuse of the Site or of anything obtained through it
• Your breach of these terms, of any product licence, or of any applicable law
• Your infringement of any third party’s intellectual property or other rights
• Any content or information you submit through the Site

We will notify you of any claim to which this section applies and may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defence and control of it; you agree to co-operate with any reasonable request for assistance.

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter or their formation including non-contractual disputes and claims are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to section 17, the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, sitting in Lagos State, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country where local law gives you that right.

Before starting formal proceedings, both sides agree to try to resolve the matter directly. Send a written notice to [email protected] describing the dispute and the outcome you are seeking. We will respond within fourteen days and both sides will negotiate in good faith for thirty days from that notice.

If the dispute is still unresolved after that period, either side may refer it to mediation in Lagos, Nigeria, under the rules of a recognised Nigerian mediation body, with the mediator’s costs shared equally. Nothing in this section prevents either side from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court at any time, particularly to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

Any claim must be brought within one year of the date on which it arose, or within the shortest period that applicable law permits parties to agree, failing which it is permanently barred.

• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us in respect of the Site, and supersede any prior understanding about it except for a signed engagement contract, statement of work or product licence, which prevails over these terms in respect of its own subject matter.
• Severability. If any provision is found unlawful, void or unenforceable, it is severed or read down to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these terms continue in full force.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of it, and no waiver is effective unless given in writing.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of the business, on notice to you.
• Force majeure. Neither side is liable for delay or failure caused by an event beyond its reasonable control including power or internet failure, provider outage, cyber-attack, natural disaster, civil unrest, epidemic or government action.
• No agency. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between us.
• Third parties. No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms.
• Headings and language. Section headings and numbers are for navigation only. These terms are written in English, and the English text governs.

We may revise these terms as the Site, the products and the law change. The current version always lives at mrvictor.dev/terms, and the effective date at the top tells you when it took effect.

Changes apply from the moment they are published and are not retroactive: a purchase you have already made stays governed by the version in force when you made it. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the revised terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the Site.
