Terms of Use
Last updated October 6, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Yokubera website, client portal, intake forms, and related services (together, the "Services"). "Yokubera," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Yokubera studio. "You" refers to the person or organization using the Services. By accessing the Services or engaging us for work, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Who we are
Yokubera is a founder launch studio. We build launch materials for founders — brand, website, pitch deck, investor and LP materials, and product prototypes — and deliver them through our client portal. Marketing content on this site describes our work and is not an offer or a guarantee of specific outcomes.
2. Engagements and proposals
A working relationship begins when we agree on a scope — typically through a proposal, statement of work, or written confirmation of a package. That scope, together with these Terms, forms our agreement. Where a signed proposal or statement of work conflicts with these Terms, the proposal or statement of work controls for that engagement.
3. Accounts and the client portal
Some Services require an account. We use passwordless "magic link" sign-in: we email a one-time link to the address on file. You are responsible for keeping access to that email account secure and for activity that occurs under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@yokubera.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. You may not access accounts, engagements, or data that are not yours, or attempt to circumvent the portal's access controls.
4. Fees, deposits, and payment
Fees are set in your proposal or package. Unless stated otherwise, engagements begin on receipt of a deposit (commonly 50%), with the balance due at the milestone or on delivery described in your scope. Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider; we do not store full card details. Late or unpaid balances may pause work and delay delivery. Except where required by law or stated in your scope, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding work has begun.
5. Intellectual property and deliverables
On full payment for an engagement, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you, except for: (a) third-party materials (fonts, stock assets, libraries) carried under their own licenses; and (b) our pre-existing tools, templates, frameworks, and know-how, which remain ours and which we grant you a non-exclusive license to use as part of your deliverables. Until full payment, all deliverables remain our property. Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may display finished work in our portfolio and marketing.
6. Your content and responsibilities
You are responsible for the materials you provide — text, images, logos, files, and information submitted through intake forms or the portal ("Your Content"). You represent that you have the rights to share Your Content with us and to let us use it to perform the Services, and that it does not infringe others' rights or violate any law. You agree to provide feedback and approvals in a reasonable time; delays on your side may shift timelines.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Services — including by attempting to breach security, access data that is not yours, disrupt or overload the Services, reverse engineer non-public systems, scrape at scale, upload malware, or use the Services to break the law. We may suspend access to protect the Services, our clients, or third parties.
8. Confidentiality
Each side may learn non-public information about the other during an engagement. Both sides agree to use the other's confidential information only to perform or receive the Services, and to protect it with reasonable care. This does not cover information that is public, already known, independently developed, or lawfully received from someone else.
9. Third-party services
The Services rely on third parties — for hosting, authentication, file storage, email delivery, and payments. Your use of the Services may be subject to those providers' terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or outages. See our Privacy Policy for the providers that process data on our behalf.
10. Disclaimers
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular business, fundraising, or launch outcome will result from our work.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yokubera will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the Services or an engagement will not exceed the fees you paid us for the engagement giving rise to the claim in the three months before the event.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Yokubera harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms.
13. Termination
Either party may end an engagement as described in the applicable proposal or statement of work, or where the other materially breaches these Terms and does not cure it within a reasonable time. On termination, you remain responsible for fees for work performed up to that point. Sections that by their nature should survive — including payment obligations, intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — survive termination.
14. Changes to the Services and these Terms
We may update the Services and these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes not resolved informally, and both parties agree to try in good faith to resolve any dispute directly before pursuing formal proceedings.
