1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you (either an individual or a legal entity) and Winyi Innovations, operating as MO EXPEDITIONS ("Company"). By accessing, browsing, or using the website, and by procuring any digital solutions, web design, hosting, or custom software development services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using our services and must discontinue use immediately.

2. Definitions & Interpretation

"Services" refers collectively to web design, web development, web hosting, domain registration, mobile application development, custom business software systems, consulting, and any other deliverables provided by MO EXPEDITIONS. "Client," "You," and "Your" refer to the individual or entity engaging our services. "Deliverables" means all work product, source code, object code, documentation, designs, and materials created by the Company for the Client. Headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of these Terms.

3. Service Engagement & Project Acceptance

All service engagements are subject to acceptance by the Company. A binding contract arises only upon the Company's written confirmation of a project or the commencement of work, whichever occurs first. The Client shall provide clear, written specifications for any custom project. Any modifications to the project scope must be agreed in writing and may result in additional charges and extended timelines. The Company reserves the right to refuse service to any party for any reason not prohibited by law.

4. Fees, Payment & Taxation

Fees for services shall be as quoted in the relevant proposal or invoice. Unless otherwise stipulated, a non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to commence work, with the balance due upon completion and prior to the handover or launch of deliverables. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, or duties, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Client. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate services without liability if payment is not received by the due date. All quotations are valid for a period of 14 calendar days from the date of issuance.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Upon full and final payment of all fees due, the Company grants the Client a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Deliverables for their intended business purpose. All pre-existing materials, proprietary code libraries, and tools used by the Company in the creation of Deliverables remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of the Company or its licensors. The Client warrants that any materials provided to the Company for inclusion in the project do not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights and agrees to indemnify the Company against any claims arising therefrom.

6. Hosting & Domain Services

Web hosting services are provided on an annual subscription basis. The Company will use reasonable endeavors to ensure 99.9% server uptime but provides no absolute guarantee thereof. Domain registration is subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant domain registrar. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring timely renewal of domains and hosting packages; the Company accepts no liability for service interruption resulting from non-renewal.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall MO EXPEDITIONS, its directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your use or inability to use the services; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the services; (iii) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content. The total aggregate liability of the Company for any claim arising out of or relating to the services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to the Company during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MO EXPEDITIONS and its licensee and licensors, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers, and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees), resulting from or arising out of (a) your use and access of the Service, by you or any person using your account and password; (b) a breach of these Terms, or (c) content posted on the Service.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms. Provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Uganda, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding their existence, validity, or termination, shall first be referred to mediation in good faith. Should mediation fail, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by the courts of Uganda having competent jurisdiction.

Services & Process

Q: What is the typical process for a web design project?

A: Yes. We offer structured support packages ranging from basic monitoring to comprehensive maintenance plans. All our web development packages include a defined period of complimentary post-launch support, during which we address any bugs or issues directly related to the initial development scope. Extended support and content update retainers are available upon request.

Q: Can you redesign or maintain an existing website built by another developer?

A: Absolutely. We routinely undertake website redesigns, migrations, and rescue projects. A preliminary technical audit will be required to assess the current codebase, platform, and architecture before a proposal can be issued.

Pricing & Payment

Q: Are your prices fixed or negotiable?

A: All prices displayed on our website are indicative starting points for standard scopes of work. Final pricing is determined by a detailed statement of work tailored to your specific functional and aesthetic requirements. While our pricing reflects the quality and expertise we deliver, we are open to discussing value-engineering options for budget-conscious projects.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept payments via mobile money (MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money), domestic bank transfer, and international wire transfer for overseas clients. Invoicing is formalized with a legally compliant tax invoice or receipt for every transaction.

Q: Is the deposit refundable if I change my mind?

A: The project initiation deposit is non-refundable as it covers resource allocation, planning, and initial design work that commences immediately upon project acceptance. This is in accordance with our Terms of Service, which you are encouraged to review for full details on our cancellation policy.

Technical & Hosting

Q: Will my website be mobile-friendly?

A: Yes. Responsive mobile-first design is a core standard, not an optional extra. All websites we develop are rigorously tested across a range of devices, browsers, and screen resolutions to ensure a consistent, performant user experience.

Q: Can I manage the website content myself after launch?

A: For websites built on content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress, we provide a comprehensive content management interface allowing you to add, edit, and delete content without requiring technical coding knowledge. We also provide a training session and documentation to your designated administrator.

Q: How is my data backed up on your hosting plans?

A: Our Business and Enterprise hosting plans include automated daily off-site backups with a 30-day retention policy. Starter plans include weekly backups. Clients may request on-demand backups at any time, and we can facilitate restoration services should the need arise.
