Terms & Conditions
Last updated:
These terms set out the rules for using this website, its portfolio, educational content, links, and enquiry forms.
Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. These terms apply to the public website and do not replace any separate written agreement for professional services.
About this website
This is the personal website and portfolio of Hyginus Ukeh, a designer, builder, and educator. It presents work involving brands, websites, and digital products, offers a way to make project enquiries, and shares educational content for creatives.
Permitted use
You may browse and use this website for lawful personal or business purposes, including learning about the work shown, viewing educational material, and making a genuine enquiry.
Any use of the website must respect these terms, applicable law, and the rights of Hyginus and third parties.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website design, original written content, branding, graphics, videos, educational materials, and original project presentations are owned by or licensed to Hyginus and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, sell, or create derivative works from these materials without permission, except where applicable law allows it. Sharing a link to a public page is permitted.
Portfolio and project content
Client names, company names, trademarks, logos, products, and other third-party materials shown in portfolio projects may remain the property of their respective owners. They are presented to describe relevant work and do not transfer ownership to Hyginus or to website visitors.
References to a project do not imply a continuing endorsement or partnership beyond the relationship described. Any results or metrics shown relate to the relevant project context and are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
Services and enquiries
Submitting a project enquiry, selecting “Book a Call,” or otherwise contacting Hyginus does not create a client relationship, start work, guarantee availability, or mean that a project has been accepted.
Any professional engagement may be governed by a separate proposal, contract, statement of work, agreed scope, schedule, and payment terms. If a separate written agreement conflicts with these website terms on matters relating to that engagement, the separate agreement will control those matters.
Educational and informational content
Videos, tutorials, design or development guidance, and other educational material are provided for general learning and informational purposes. They are not individualized professional, legal, financial, or business advice.
No employment, income, client-acquisition, revenue, business, freelancing, or career outcome is promised or guaranteed. You are responsible for deciding how to apply the information to your own circumstances.
External links
The website links to third-party platforms and websites, including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Contra. These links are provided for convenience and access to related content or profiles. Hyginus does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, terms, or privacy practices. Use of an external service is subject to that service’s own terms.
Your submissions
When you submit an enquiry or notification request, you confirm that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorized to provide it. Please do not submit unlawful, confidential, or third-party information that you are not permitted to share.
You retain your rights in private project messages and other original material you submit. Providing information through a form gives Hyginus permission to use it only as reasonably needed to review, respond to, administer, and protect the relevant request and the website.
Prohibited conduct
You must not:
- use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purposes;
- attempt to bypass security, gain unauthorized access, or interfere with the website’s operation;
- upload or transmit malicious code;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity;
- abuse forms, send spam, or submit deceptive enquiries;
- infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights;
- use automated tools to scrape or burden the site in a manner that disrupts normal use or ignores reasonable technical restrictions.
Website availability and changes
I may update, suspend, remove, or change website content or features at any time. I aim to keep the website useful and accurate, but do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or perfectly current.
Disclaimers
The website and its general informational content are provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no warranty is made that the website will meet every requirement or that every piece of information will remain complete, accurate, or current. This does not affect any express commitment made in a separate signed client agreement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Hyginus will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to use, this public website or from reliance on its general educational content.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or overrides mandatory statutory or consumer rights that apply to you.
Changes to these terms
I may update these Terms & Conditions as the website or its services change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will identify the latest revision. Your continued use of the website after an update means the updated terms apply to future use.
Contact
If you have a question about these terms, use the Contact / Start a Project section and identify the nature of your request.
