Empire Inc — Whitby, Ontario

Terms of Service

Last updated: November 2, 2026

Empire Inc is a trade name of Omair Malik, a sole proprietor based in Whitby, Ontario, Canada ("Empire Inc", "we", "us"). These terms govern our services. Your written quote or statement of work, once accepted, forms the agreement for your project together with these terms. If anything in a signed quote conflicts with these terms, the quote governs for that project.

Quotes and scope

• Every price is given in writing before work starts. Quotes are valid for 14 days.
• Work is limited to the scope in your accepted quote or statement of work. Requests outside that scope are quoted separately before they are done — never billed as a surprise.
• Dates we give are estimates made in good faith; a date becomes a commitment only when your quote says so in writing.

Payment

• Payment methods: Interac e-Transfer, or card by Stripe link where offered. We never ask for card details by chat or email, and we never keep a card on file.
• Project deposits and payment schedules are stated in your quote. Monthly services are billed monthly and may be cancelled as stated in your plan terms.
• Invoices are due on the date shown on the invoice. Late amounts may pause ongoing work until paid; we will always tell you before pausing.

Revisions and acceptance

• Each deliverable includes the revision rounds stated in your quote. Further rounds are quoted before they begin.
• A deliverable is accepted when you confirm it, or 7 days after delivery if no change request has been made, whichever comes first.

Ownership

• When your project is paid in full, you own the final deliverables (your website, your content, your files) and your domain. Until full payment, deliverables remain our property and may not be used.
• You keep ownership of everything you provide to us (your photos, text, logos, data). You confirm you have the right to use what you provide.
• We may show finished work in our portfolio unless you ask us in writing not to.

Client responsibilities

• Provide the content, access, and approvals your project needs, in reasonable time. Delays in materials can move delivery dates.
• Credentials are shared only through the secure route we specify — never over social-media chat.

Liability

• Our total liability for any project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project in the 3 months before the claim.
• We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the acts of third-party platforms (hosts, registrars, ad platforms, review sites) beyond our reasonable control.
• Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Ontario law.

Ending a service

• Monthly plans: cancel as stated in your plan terms; work already delivered and paid for stays yours.
• Projects: either side may end a project in writing. Work completed to that point is payable; deposits cover work already performed.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada. Disputes will be handled first in good-faith discussion, then in the courts of Ontario if needed.
