Terms

Last updated: 24 September 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of JosephWenani.com (the “Website”), which is operated by Joseph Wenani in Kenya. The Website includes articles, resources, portfolio information, the Agency page, contact features and other material made available through this domain.

Please read these Terms before using the Website. By accessing or using it, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website. Nothing here removes a right or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded.

1. Scope of these Terms

These Terms apply to use of the Website and its publicly available content and features. They do not by themselves form a contract for website development, software, consulting, maintenance or another professional service. Those services require a separately agreed proposal, quotation, statement of work or contract, as described in section 7.

The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled. A third-party website or platform linked from this Website has its own terms and privacy practices.

2. Website content and its purpose

The Website may publish articles, opinions, tutorials, reviews, examples, technology news and material about software, artificial intelligence, digital work and related subjects. This content is provided for general information and education. It may reflect the author’s views at the time of publication and may become outdated as products, prices, laws and technology change.

I aim to make the content useful and accurate, but a post or example should not be treated as a personalised legal, financial, medical, cybersecurity or other regulated professional opinion. Check information that matters to your circumstances with an appropriate qualified professional. Before relying on instructions involving software, accounts or data, assess your own environment, back up important data and test changes where appropriate.

References to a product, company or service do not guarantee its quality, availability, safety or suitability for you. Comparisons and recommendations are based on the information available when prepared and may need updating.

3. Permitted use

You may browse the Website, share links to its pages and use its publicly available information for your own lawful purposes. You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the relevant page, subject to applicable copyright law.

Except where I expressly permit it or the law gives you a right to do so, you may not reproduce substantial portions of the Website, republish its articles as your own, sell its content, remove attribution or copyright notices, or use its branding in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation. For permission to reuse material beyond the rights granted by law, contact me using section 17.

This permission concerns Website content. It does not grant any right to source code, design files, software, project deliverables or client work that may be shown or described on the Website.

4. Acceptable use and website security

Use the Website lawfully and in a manner that does not disrupt it or other visitors. In particular, you must not:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its accounts, databases, servers or related systems.
  • Introduce malware, harmful code or material intended to damage, intercept or interfere with systems.
  • Probe for vulnerabilities, bypass access controls or interfere with normal operation without prior written authorisation.
  • Submit spam, fraudulent enquiries, impersonations, misleading information or material that unlawfully infringes another person’s rights.
  • Use automated requests in a way that places unreasonable load on the Website or circumvents technical restrictions.
  • Collect other people’s personal information from the Website for harassment, unsolicited marketing or another unlawful purpose.

Ordinary search-engine indexing and other access permitted by law are not prohibited merely because they involve automation. I may take proportionate steps to protect the Website, including blocking abusive traffic and reporting unlawful activity to relevant authorities.

5. Intellectual property and third-party material

Unless otherwise stated, text, original graphics, branding, layouts and other original Website material are owned by Joseph Wenani or used with permission. Applicable copyright and other intellectual-property laws protect this material. The name “Joseph Wenani” and associated branding may not be used in a way that misleads people about who provides or endorses a service.

Some pages may include trademarks, screenshots, videos, quotations, embedded media or other material belonging to third parties. Their owners retain their rights. Their appearance on the Website does not transfer those rights to me or to visitors. If you believe material on the Website infringes rights you hold, send the relevant page URL, a description of the material and your contact details using section 17 so I can review the concern.

6. Information you submit

If you send an enquiry, project brief, feedback or other material through the Website or a related communication channel, you confirm that you are entitled to provide it and that doing so does not unlawfully disclose another person’s information or infringe their rights. You remain responsible for the material you submit.

You retain ownership of material you provide. You permit me to receive, store and use it as reasonably necessary to read and respond to your message, evaluate a requested project, prepare a proposal, or carry out work you later agree to. This limited permission does not allow me to publish your confidential project material or use your logo as a public client endorsement without a separate basis or permission.

Do not send passwords, M-Pesa PINs, complete payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive information through an ordinary contact form. If confidential files or account access are needed, we should agree on an appropriate way to share them. The Privacy Policy explains how personal information in submissions is handled.

7. Agency enquiries and separate service agreements

Descriptions on the Agency page explain the kinds of work I may offer. They are invitations to enquire, not binding offers to deliver every listed service at a particular price or deadline. Sending a message, receiving an initial reply or discussing a possible project does not guarantee availability or create a service contract.

Before work begins, the parties should agree on the scope, deliverables, schedule, fees, payment arrangements, responsibilities, revision process, acceptance criteria, ownership or licensing of deliverables, support and any necessary data-protection terms. These may be recorded in a proposal, quotation, statement of work or contract accepted by both parties.

If an agreed project document conflicts with these Website Terms about the professional services covered by that document, the specific project document governs those services to the extent of the conflict. These Website Terms continue to govern general use of the Website. Changes to a project should be agreed through the process in the applicable project document; a general enquiry or Website update does not change a signed agreement.

8. Prices, payments and refunds

Unless an applicable service agreement states otherwise, information on the Website does not establish a final project price, payment deadline, refund entitlement or service level. Pricing depends on agreed requirements and will be stated in the relevant quotation or agreement. Any taxes, third-party subscriptions, hosting charges, payment-provider fees or other costs should be identified in that agreement where applicable.

Payments for agreed services may be made through a bank, mobile-money service or another agreed provider. Such providers may apply their own terms. Questions about a project’s invoice, cancellation or refund should be handled under the applicable project agreement and any mandatory consumer rights. Nothing in these Terms overrides a refund or remedy that the law requires.

The Website may link to products, articles, social networks, videos, maps, downloads, payment providers or other third-party services. Links are supplied for context or convenience. I do not control those services or guarantee that they remain available, accurate, secure or appropriate for you. Review their terms and privacy notices before using them or supplying information.

An article may discuss or recommend a commercial product. If a particular link or piece of content involves a sponsorship, affiliate arrangement or other material commercial relationship, that relationship should be disclosed where required. A purchase or account you create with a third party is between you and that provider unless expressly agreed otherwise.

10. Artificial intelligence and technical examples

Content about AI tools, coding, automation or software integrations may include examples, demonstrations or outputs created with assistance from third-party tools. Examples are illustrative and may contain errors, security weaknesses or outdated instructions. Review and test code or configurations before using them in production, especially where personal data, payments or security are involved.

Any AI-enabled feature developed for a client, together with responsibilities for its operation, data handling, testing and support, should be addressed in that client’s separate project agreement. A general Website article does not promise that a particular model, integration or result will remain available.

11. Privacy and communications

Use of forms, subscriptions, analytics and related Website features may involve processing personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. By contacting me, you authorise me to reply about your enquiry through the channel you used or another channel you provide for that purpose. A service enquiry is not blanket consent to unrelated marketing.

You are responsible for choosing what to send through ordinary email or messaging platforms. They may involve third-party providers and are not guaranteed to be completely secure. If you need to share confidential or sensitive project information, contact me to arrange a suitable method.

12. Availability and changes to the Website

I may update, correct, remove or reorganise Website content and features from time to time, including to fix errors or address security concerns. The Website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, hosting failures, internet problems or events outside my reasonable control. I do not promise uninterrupted access or that every article or feature will remain available indefinitely.

If I discover a material error in an article or service description, I may correct it. An outdated Website description does not automatically amend a separate contract that has already been agreed.

13. Warranties and responsibility

The Website and its general informational content are provided with reasonable care but, to the extent permitted by law, without a guarantee that every item is complete, current, error-free or suitable for your particular purpose. You are responsible for evaluating information before acting on it.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I am not responsible for losses caused solely by your reliance on unverified general information, misuse of the Website, a third-party service outside my control, or an interruption outside my reasonable control. This clause does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct or any non-excludable statutory consumer right. A separate agreement governs responsibility arising from professional services delivered under that agreement.

If a dispute concerns the Website, the parties’ legal rights and remedies remain subject to applicable Kenyan law. Nothing here imposes an arbitrary fixed cap on a claim or requires you to give up a remedy provided by law.

14. Restricting access

If a visitor materially breaches these Terms or poses a security risk, I may take reasonable steps to restrict that visitor’s access, remove an unlawful submission or protect the Website. Where appropriate and practical, I may give notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Restriction of Website access does not itself cancel a separate client agreement or erase obligations already owed under it.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, subject to any mandatory law that applies to a visitor in another jurisdiction. If a concern arises, you may first contact me using the details below so we can try to resolve it. If it cannot be resolved informally, a dispute about these Terms may be brought before a court with jurisdiction in Kenya, subject to any mandatory rights concerning where a claim may be brought.

These Terms do not prevent you from contacting a regulator or exercising a statutory right where applicable.

16. Changes and interpretation

I may revise these Terms when the Website, its features or relevant legal requirements change. The current version will be available at josephwenani.com/terms/ and its “Last updated” date will show when it was revised. Changes apply to Website use after publication; they do not retroactively change a separate signed project agreement. If a change requires additional notice under applicable law, I will provide it.

If a provision of these Terms cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent legally possible. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not automatically waive the right to enforce it later. Headings are provided to make these Terms easier to read.
