Terms of Service

B3 Digital, which also operates as B3 Software, runs the website at b3.digital and the client portal hosted on it. By using the site, submitting a form, or signing in to the portal, you agree to these terms.

These terms cover the website and the portal. Paid project work is covered by a separate written agreement, proposal, or statement of work. Where that signed agreement and these terms disagree, the signed agreement controls for that project.

We provide website design and development, software and plugin development, product photography, and IT support and security work. We also publish software products, documentation, and a store for licensed products.

The public pages of this site are informational. Nothing on them is an offer, a quote, or a promise of a specific result. A price or a scope becomes binding only when it is in a proposal or agreement we both accept.

The client portal is for our clients and the people they invite. Access is by invitation. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in secure, for the activity that happens under your account, and for telling us promptly if you think someone else has access to it.

You agree to give accurate account information and to keep it current. If you are using the portal for a company, you confirm you are allowed to act for that company. We may suspend or close an account that is being misused, that belongs to someone who is no longer authorized, or that has been dormant after an engagement ends.

Documents and project material in the portal belong to the client. Do not share portal access with people outside your organization without telling us first.

Use the site and the portal for their intended purpose. Do not do any of the following:

• Break the law, or use our services to help someone else break it.
• Try to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorized to reach.
• Probe, scan, or test the security of the site or portal without our written permission.
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the site in a way that burdens it, or resell its content as your own.
• Upload malware, or submit content that is unlawful, infringing, harassing, or deliberately misleading.
• Interfere with the service for other users, or work around any access limit.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent who you work for.

If you find a security problem, please report it to us instead of exploiting it. We will take it seriously, and we will not pursue anyone who reports a genuine issue in good faith and gives us a reasonable chance to fix it.

Project fees, invoice schedules, and payment terms are set in the agreement for that project. Invoices are due as stated on the invoice. Late payment may pause work on the project.

Software purchased from our store is licensed to you under the license terms shown at purchase. Payments are processed by Stripe, and we do not receive or store your card number. Refunds follow the policy stated for the product or, for project work, the agreement covering it.

The B3 name, logo, site design, written content, photography, software, and documentation on b3.digital belong to B3 Digital or to the parties we license them from. Using the site does not transfer any of that to you.

For client work, ownership of the deliverables is set in the project agreement. Our normal position is that once a project is paid in full, the client owns the deliverables we made for them, while we keep ownership of the underlying tools, libraries, components, and know-how we reuse across clients, and we grant the client a license to keep using those as part of the delivered work.

Content you send us, including material you upload to the portal, stays yours. You give us permission to use it for the purpose you sent it for: doing the work, running your site or systems, and supporting you. We will not use a client logo or project as a public reference without permission.

Third-party software we install or integrate on your behalf stays under its own license.

Our site and portal depend on other companies, including hosting, authentication, email delivery, payment processing, and project tracking providers. Those are named in our Privacy Policy. We choose them carefully, but we do not control their systems and we are not responsible for outages or changes on their side.

The site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

The website, the portal, and the software we publish are provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not promise the site or the portal will be uninterrupted, error free, or secure against every threat, and we do not promise any specific business result from our work. Security work reduces risk, it does not eliminate it. Keep your own backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.

Nothing on this site is legal, tax, or financial advice.

To the fullest extent the law allows, B3 Digital is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, or lost or corrupted data, even if we were told those losses were possible.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim connected to the site, the portal, or our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the service the claim relates to during the twelve months before the claim arose. If you have not paid us anything, our total liability is limited to one hundred dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these limits. Where that is the case, these limits apply only as far as that jurisdiction permits, and you may have rights this section cannot take away.

You may stop using the site or the portal at any time, and you may ask us to close your portal account. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken, if access is being misused, if we are required to by law, or if the engagement the account exists for has ended.

When an engagement ends, tell us what portal data you want exported and we will provide it in a reasonable format. The sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law continue to apply after access ends.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms, the site, or the portal will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Oregon, and both sides consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Before starting any formal proceeding, both sides agree to raise the issue in writing and give the other a reasonable chance to resolve it.

We may update these terms as our services change. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects an active client, we will tell that client directly rather than relying on this page alone.

Continuing to use the site or the portal after an update means you accept the updated terms.
