Terms of service.

Effective Date: Nov 17, 2025

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to www.dawnandstar.info (the “Site”) and any consulting or advisory services provided by Dawn & Star Enterprises LLC (Delaware) (“Dawn & Star,” “we,” “us,” “our”). By using the Site or engaging us, you agree to these Terms.

1) Engagements by Referral Only

We partner with select clients. Submitting an inquiry does not create a client relationship. A relationship is formed only upon mutual written agreement (e.g., a signed proposal, SOW, or engagement letter).

2) Proposals, Scope, and Fees

Scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees are defined in the applicable Statement of Work (SOW) or proposal. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in USD and exclude taxes. Deposits/retainers are due before we begin work.

3) Payment Terms

Unless specified otherwise in an SOW:

  • Deposits are non-refundable.

  • Invoices are due upon receipt. Late balances may accrue a 1.5% monthly late fee (or the maximum allowed by law).

  • We may pause Services for non-payment.

4) Client Responsibilities

You agree to provide timely information, approvals, and access reasonably required to perform the Services. Delays in your inputs may extend timelines.

5) Intellectual Property

  • Pre-existing IP owned by each party remains that party’s property.

  • Deliverables: Unless otherwise stated in the SOW, upon full payment you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use final deliverables for your internal business purposes.

  • We may use general learnings, know-how, and non-confidential methods developed during the engagement.

6) Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other’s non-public information confidential and to use it solely for the engagement, except as required by law.

7) Publicity

We will not publicly reference client work without your written consent. You may request NDA terms in an SOW.

8) Disclaimers

The Services provide strategic advice and recommendations. Outcomes are not guaranteed. The Site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Our aggregate liability under these Terms and any SOW will not exceed the fees paid to us for the Services giving rise to the claim.

10) Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Deliverables or breach of these Terms.

11) Termination

Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach not cured within 10 days after written notice. Fees incurred and non-cancelable commitments through the termination date remain due.

12) Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any SOW are governed by the laws of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Arbitration (optional but recommended): Any dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Delaware before a single arbitrator under the rules of JAMS/AAA. Each party bears its own fees and costs, subject to the arbitrator’s authority to award fees per applicable law.

13) Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a new Effective Date. Continued use of the Site or Services after changes constitutes acceptance.
