Terms & Conditions

The plain-language rules for using this site and working with us. Last updated 11 June 2026.

1. Agreement

By using this website or engaging Lumithos, you accept these terms. Where you sign a proposal, scope of work, or statement of work with us, that document governs the specifics of the engagement and these terms cover everything it does not address.

2. What this site is

Everything published here — copy, case summaries, methodology, pricing indications, and quote estimates — is for information. It is an invitation to talk, not a binding offer. Prices, timelines, and availability are confirmed only in a written proposal or invoice.

3. Enquiries and fit

Submitting an intake, quote, website request, or booking does not create an engagement. We normally reply within 3 business days from Lagos (WAT) with a fit-check, and we reserve the right to decline work that conflicts with our values or capacity.

4. Fees, payment, and invoicing

  • Engagements are quoted in the currency stated on the invoice. Branding work is quoted per scope; website development starts from ₦200,000.
  • Unless a proposal says otherwise, a 50% deposit is payable before work begins and the balance on delivery or before launch.
  • We invoice as PDFs and take payment by bank transfer to the account named on the invoice. Bank charges and currency conversion costs are yours. We never request payment through any channel not stated on an invoice — if in doubt, confirm with us first.
  • Invoices are due within 7 days unless stated otherwise. Late or partial payment can pause delivery and shift agreed timelines.
  • Deposits are non-refundable once discovery or production has started, because the time is reserved for you.

5. Timelines and your input

Our timelines — including the 48-hour website build — start when we have everything we asked for: content, logo or brand assets, images, domain access, and prompt feedback. Delays in those inputs move the delivery date by the same amount. If a project stalls on your side for more than 30 days, we may close it and re-quote to resume.

6. Revisions and scope

Each proposal states the rounds of revision included. Revisions refine work within the agreed direction; new directions, added pages, added deliverables, or new audiences are new scope and are quoted separately before we proceed.

7. Ownership and rights

  • On full payment, ownership of the final delivered brand or website assets created for you transfers to you.
  • We retain ownership of our methodology, frameworks, templates, internal tooling, unused concepts, and working files, and of any third-party assets which remain under their own licences.
  • You warrant that any content, imagery, or trademarks you give us are yours to use.
  • We may show completed work in our portfolio and marketing unless you ask us in writing not to.

8. Confidentiality

Each side keeps the other's non-public information confidential and uses it only for the engagement. Founder philosophy sessions, institutional stakeholder material, and investor details are treated as confidential by default.

9. Investor network and introductions

Our investor network is invite-only and operates on expressions of interest. Lumithos is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or placement agent. We do not offer securities, solicit investment, give investment advice, hold client funds, or take a share of any transaction. Listing or vetting is curation, not endorsement or due diligence. Any investment decision, agreement, and its consequences sit entirely between founder and investor, and both should take their own legal, tax, and financial advice.

10. Third-party services

Bookings, hosting, domains, email, analytics, payment rails, and similar services are provided by third parties under their own terms. We are not responsible for their outages, pricing changes, or policy changes.

11. Results, warranties, and liability

We deliver our work with professional care, but we do not guarantee specific commercial outcomes such as revenue, funding, rankings, or traffic. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any engagement is capped at the fees you paid us for it, and neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Cancellation

Either side may end an engagement in writing. You pay for work completed and costs committed up to that date; we hand over what has been paid for. Deposits covering reserved time are not refunded.

13. Acceptable use

Do not misuse this site: no attempts to breach security, scrape at scale, submit false information through our forms, or use our content or brand without permission.

14. Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and disputes are subject to the courts of Lagos State after a good-faith attempt to resolve matters directly. We may update these terms; the version published when you engage us applies to that engagement. Questions: [email protected].
