Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at gsoftinteractive.com (the "Site") operated by Gsoft Interactive Systems Ltd ("Gsoft", "we", "us", "our"), a company duly registered under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

By accessing or using the Site, or by engaging us for services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Definitions

• "Services" means software development, web design and development, mobile app development, artificial intelligence development, digital marketing, hosting, maintenance and any related professional services we provide.
• "Client" means any individual or entity that engages Gsoft for Services under a separate written agreement (Statement of Work, Service Agreement, or proposal acceptance).
• "Content" means all text, images, graphics, code, logos, audio, video and other materials available on the Site.
• "User" means any visitor to the Site.

2. Use of the Site

You may use the Site for lawful, personal and business research purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation.
• Reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Site without our express written consent.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, our servers, or systems connected to the Site.
• Use any automated system (bots, scrapers, crawlers) other than well-behaved search-engine crawlers, without prior written permission.
• Transmit malware, attempt SQL injection, or otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Site.

3. Intellectual property

All Content on the Site — including but not limited to the Gsoft name, logo, trade marks, articles, case studies, code samples, page designs, and audio/visual material — is owned by or licensed to Gsoft and is protected by copyright, trade-mark and other intellectual property laws.

You may share article links and short attributed quotes with proper credit ("Source: gsoftinteractive.com" plus a link). Any other reproduction or commercial use requires our prior written permission.

Portfolio case studies reference work delivered for our Clients. Where Client trademarks or logos appear, they remain the property of the respective Clients and are used with permission.

4. Services & engagement

Information about our Services on the Site is for general guidance only and does not constitute a binding offer. Each engagement is governed by a separate written agreement (Statement of Work, Service Agreement, or accepted proposal) which sets out:

• Scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria.
• Timelines and milestones.
• Fees, payment schedule and currency.
• Intellectual property assignment.
• Confidentiality and data protection.
• Warranty, support and termination terms.

Where conflict exists between these Terms and a signed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement prevails.

5. Quotations & proposals

Quotations and proposals issued by Gsoft are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. Pricing is in Nigerian Naira (NGN) unless explicitly quoted in another currency. All prices are exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes unless stated.

6. Payment terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• An upfront deposit (typically 40%–50%) is required to commence work.
• Milestone payments are due as defined in the Statement of Work.
• Final payment is due on delivery and before final code/asset transfer.
• Invoices are payable within 14 days. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month.

7. Client responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete information needed for us to deliver the Services.
• Make timely decisions and provide approvals at agreed milestones.
• Pay all fees by their due dates.
• Hold all rights and licences for any content, logos, trade marks or materials you supply for inclusion in deliverables.
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to your business.

8. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other in connection with the Services. We are happy to sign separate Non-Disclosure Agreements at first contact, on request.

9. Warranties & limitation of liability

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by Nigerian law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation.

For paid Services, our warranties and remedies are set out in the relevant Service Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any engagement is limited to the fees actually paid by the Client to Gsoft for the Services giving rise to the claim, in the 12 months preceding the event.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages — including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data or loss of goodwill — even if advised of the possibility.

10. Third-party links & services

The Site may include links to third-party websites or services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, products, or services of those third parties. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Gsoft, its directors, officers, employees and contractors from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your unlawful use of the Site, or your violation of any third-party right.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms. Termination of a Service engagement is governed by the relevant Service Agreement.

13. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control — including acts of God, epidemics, government action, strikes, internet outages, power failures, or armed conflict. The affected party will give prompt notice and use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact.

14. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms and any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with them are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Any dispute arising under these Terms will first be addressed by good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved within 30 days, it will be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023, with the seat of arbitration in Lagos. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
