By browsing our Site, booking an audit or consultation, subscribing to our communications, or engaging our commercial services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use our Site or Services.

1. Description & Scope of Services

1.1 Informational & Editorial Content: Joe's Discoveries publishes educational articles, tool discoveries, software evaluations, and technological analyses. All editorial content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute formal legal, financial, or certified engineering guarantees for third-party products.

1.2 Professional Digital Services: We provide custom web architecture, performance optimization, workflow automation, API integration, and digital strategy sprints. Such bespoke engagements are governed by these Terms alongside individual written Proposals, Statements of Work ("SOW"), invoices, or service contracts executed between the Client and Joe's Discoveries. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an executed SOW, the specific terms of the SOW shall control.

1.3 Service Modifications: We reserve the right to modify, enhance, suspend, or discontinue any feature, content, or service offered on the Site at any time without prior notice.

2. Client Obligations & Project Delivery

2.1 Information & Asset Delivery: To enable timely execution of bespoke digital projects, the Client agrees to furnish required assets, brand collateral, text copy, third-party credentials, and timely feedback. Delays resulting from missing client materials or delayed approvals will extend project completion dates accordingly.

2.2 Third-Party Accounts & Hosting: Unless explicitly retained to administer hosting under an ongoing maintenance agreement, Clients are solely responsible for maintaining active, funded accounts with third-party vendors (e.g., domain registrars, hosting infrastructure, cloud providers, database systems, and payment processors).

2.3 Acceptable Use: You agree not to use our Site or Services to:

Violate any applicable local, state, federal, or international law or regulation;

Transmit harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, or defamatory code, scripts, or materials;

Attempt unauthorized access to our edge servers, networks, systems, or source repositories;

Reverse-engineer, decompile, or harvest proprietary assets without express written consent.

3. SMS / Mobile Messaging Terms (A2P 10DLC Compliance)

If you opt in to receive text messages from Joe's Discoveries via our inquiry forms, website audit funnels, or direct communication workflows, the following provisions apply:

3.1 Program Overview: Messages may include conversational replies, customer care updates, discovery audit follow-ups, appointment reminders, and service delivery notifications related to your direct inquiry.

3.2 Express Consent: By providing your mobile number and checking the consent box on our online forms, you provide express written authorization to receive informational and customer care SMS messages from Joe's Discoveries. Consent to receive marketing or informational text messages is never a condition of purchase or service engagement.

3.4 How to Opt Out (STOP): You may opt out of SMS communications at any time. Simply reply STOP to any text message received from us. After sending STOP, we will send one single SMS confirming that you have been unsubscribed. No further text messages will be sent unless you re-subscribe.
