Terms and Conditions

Last updated: October 15, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of https://www.sloppyko.com (the "Site"), operated by Kieran Apgar, doing business as SloppyKo ("SloppyKo," "we," "us," or "our"), based in Hanford, California.

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Please read Section 11 carefully. It requires disputes to be resolved through informal negotiation and then individual binding arbitration, and it limits your ability to bring class actions.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site.

2. Our Services and Client Agreements

Any pricing, packages, or service descriptions on this Site are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an offer. All client engagements are governed by a separate written agreement between SloppyKo and the client, which controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms.

3. Intellectual Property

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, design, and code, are owned by SloppyKo or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from Site content without our written permission.

We may restrict or block access to the Site for anyone who violates these Terms.

5. Information You Submit

When you contact us through the Site, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Our handling of that information is described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not send confidential or proprietary information until a written agreement is in place.

If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Site or our services, we may use them without any obligation to you.

6. No Guarantee of Results

Information on this Site about marketing, SEO, or business outcomes is general in nature. SloppyKo does not guarantee specific results, rankings, or performance. Nothing on this Site is legal, financial, or professional advice.

7. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites such as LinkedIn and YouTube. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SloppyKo will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SloppyKo from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

11. Dispute Resolution

Informal negotiation

Before starting any formal proceeding, you and SloppyKo agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send written notice describing it to the other party (to us at kieran@sloppyko.com). The parties will negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days after notice is received.

Binding arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Kings County, California, or by video or phone if the parties agree. If the arbitration fees are deemed excessive by the arbitrator, SloppyKo will pay them. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Either party may also seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.

Class action waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Court proceedings

If a dispute is found not to be subject to arbitration, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kings County, California, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Time limit

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising from or relating to the Site or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises, or it is permanently barred.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

14. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and SloppyKo regarding your use of the Site. Any client engagement is governed by its separate written agreement.
