4. Information you provide
5. Services and client agreements
Website descriptions, timelines, availability, deliverables, and starting investments are general information and may change. Specific paid services begin only after both parties accept the applicable proposal or service agreement and any required payment is received. If these Terms conflict with a signed client agreement, the client agreement governs the paid service.
6. Future courses and digital products
Novelyn & Co. may later offer courses, templates, downloads, or other digital products through the website. The price, access period, permitted use, payment terms, refund or cancellation policy, and other offer-specific conditions displayed on the relevant sales or checkout page form part of the purchase terms.
Refund eligibility may differ by offer. No general refund period is promised by these Terms. Review the policy displayed for the specific offer before purchasing. Nothing in these Terms excludes a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer law.
7. Payments
8. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website and its original copy, branding, graphics, layouts, assessments, resources, downloads, methods, and other content are owned by or licensed to Novelyn & Co. and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view website content for your own lawful use. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, publish, create derivative works from, or use it to train or populate another product or service without prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly permits.
9. Testimonials and results
Testimonials displayed on the website are selected client experiences shared with permission. They reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee that every client will achieve the same result. Your results depend on circumstances including your offer, audience, decisions, implementation, tools, and participation.
Visitors cannot publicly post comments, reviews, profiles, or other user content directly on the website.
10. Affiliate links and compensated recommendations
The website may include affiliate links, sponsorships, or compensated recommendations. Where applicable, the relationship will be disclosed near the relevant content. A commission does not increase your price unless clearly stated.
11. Third-party links and tools
The website may link to or integrate with third-party platforms, resources, social media, or services. Novelyn & Co. does not control and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, products, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of them is at your discretion and subject to their terms.
12. General information and disclaimers
Website content and assessment results are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They are not legal, financial, tax, accounting, cybersecurity, or other regulated professional advice, and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice suited to your circumstances.
We aim to keep the website useful and accurate but do not promise that all content will always be complete, current, error-free, or suitable for every business. To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided on an “as available” basis without warranties not expressly stated in writing.
13. Website availability and changes
We may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the website, content, assessment, or feature at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or compatibility with every device, browser, or third-party service.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Novelyn & Co. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from website use, inability to use the website, reliance on general content, or third-party links or tools. This includes loss of profits, revenue, data, opportunity, or goodwill.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability or a consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Liability connected to a paid client service or purchase is governed by the applicable service agreement or offer-specific terms.
15. Responsibility for misuse
To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for reasonable losses, claims, or expenses resulting from your unlawful misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights.
16. Suspension or termination
We may restrict or terminate access to the website where we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, security or legal risk exists, or doing so is necessary to protect the website, business, or others. Provisions that by their nature should continue will survive termination.
17. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Before starting court proceedings, you and Novelyn & Co. agree to make a genuine good-faith effort to resolve a dispute informally. Please submit the concern through the website contact form with enough detail for it to be reviewed. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be brought before the appropriate courts in Davao City, Philippines, subject to any mandatory rights or venue rules that apply.
18. Severability and no waiver
If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
19. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms when the website, offerings, business practices, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
20. Contact us
These Terms are a practical website draft and should be reviewed by a qualified Philippine lawyer before public launch, especially when online checkout, courses, or digital products are introduced.
