Terms of Service
Last updated: [date of approval]
These terms apply to your use of techempower.co.bw and the TechEmpower client portal, operated by Techempower Proprietary Limited, company number BW00009961679 ("TechEmpower", "we", "us"). By using the website or portal you agree to them.
1. Our services and quotes
The website describes the services we offer. Prices and timelines shown on the website, and quotes we send in reply to an enquiry, are estimates and are not a binding offer. Work only begins once we have both signed a written agreement or accepted a written quote, which sets out the scope, price, payment schedule and timeline. If that agreement conflicts with these terms, the agreement applies.
2. Ownership of your project
Unless your agreement says otherwise, once you have paid in full you own the custom code we write for your project, and your domain name and hosting accounts are registered in your name. Third-party software, open-source components and tools we already own and reuse across projects remain under their own licences, and we grant you the right to use them as part of your project.
3. Client portal accounts
- Keep your login details private. You are responsible for activity under your account.
- Tell us straight away if you think someone else has accessed your account.
- We may suspend an account that is misused or that puts our systems or other clients at risk.
4. Using this website
You agree not to:
- use the website or portal for anything unlawful;
- try to gain unauthorised access to any part of our systems;
- send spam, malware, or automated requests that disrupt the service.
5. Website content
The text, design, logos and images on this website belong to TechEmpower or are used with permission. You may not copy them for commercial use without our written consent. We aim to keep the website accurate, but we do not guarantee that everything on it is complete or up to date.
6. Links to other websites
The website links to services such as WhatsApp and social media. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites.
7. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, TechEmpower is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website. Our liability for work done for you is set out in your project agreement. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Botswana consumer protection law.
8. Personal data
How we handle your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Botswana, and the courts of Botswana have jurisdiction.
10. Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page. Questions? Email support@techempower.co.bw or call 78832007.
