Terms of Service.
Last updated · April 2026
Placeholder · Pending counsel review
This document is a plain-English draft of the terms we intend to publish. It has not yet been reviewed by counsel. Until it is, the controlling terms for any active engagement are whatever is written into that engagement’s signed proposal or contract. Questions in the meantime go to the contact page.
Next Consulting Corp. (“Next Consulting,” “we,” “us”) is a consulting and design firm that installs websites, brand systems, automations, and related infrastructure for businesses that hire us. Our principal place of business is Phoenix, Arizona.
These terms cover (a) your use of nextconsulting.dev and (b) any paid engagement you enter into with us unless your signed proposal or contract says otherwise.
By visiting nextconsulting.dev you agree to use it for lawful purposes, not to scrape or hammer our servers, not to impersonate anyone, and not to try to reverse-engineer anything that is clearly private. We reserve the right to block traffic that violates these.
Content on the site (articles, the manifesto, copy, diagrams, screenshots) is ours. You’re welcome to quote short excerpts with attribution. You’re not welcome to republish the whole thing.
The central promise of Next Consulting is that you own what we build. When an engagement is paid in full, the deliverables become yours outright:
- Source code. You get the repository. You can fork it, host it elsewhere, or hand it to another vendor.
- Design assets. Brand files, logo source, Figma boards. Delivered in editable form.
- Data. Your database, your inquiries, your lead logs. Exportable on request.
- Domain. We point at domains you already own; we do not hold the registrar account.
We retain the right to list the engagement in our public case studies and portfolio unless you specifically ask us not to. We will never disclose confidential business details without your written permission.
We build on top of third-party platforms (hosting, analytics, email, CRM, payments). You pay for those subscriptions directly under your own account. Their terms of service apply to your use of them. We tell you up front which platforms an engagement will use before you sign.
Payment, milestones, and scope are set in the signed proposal for your engagement. If something in this document conflicts with a signed proposal, the signed proposal wins.
You can stop a phased engagement at the end of any paid phase. You keep everything that has already been delivered and paid for. Refunds for in-progress work follow the cancellation schedule in the signed proposal.
We stand behind the quality of our work. If something we built breaks because we built it wrong, we fix it at no charge.
Beyond that, the site and the services are provided “as is.” We don’t guarantee specific revenue, conversion, or ranking outcomes. Our aggregate liability for any engagement is capped at the amount you paid us for that engagement. This is a legally important limit, and counsel will harden it in the final version of these terms.
We may update these terms. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top of the page changes. Material changes to active engagements will be communicated by email first.
Questions, disputes, or requests to exercise any right described above go to our contact page. Formal legal notices should be sent in writing to the address on the signed proposal.
