These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of muvevi.com (the 'Website'), your purchase of any digital product from the Muvevi Marketplace, and any professional services you engage Joseph Muvevi to perform. Please read them carefully before using the Website or making a purchase. By proceeding, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
01. Parties and Definitions
- —"Muvevi", "I", "me", or "my" refers to Joseph Muvevi, a sole proprietor trading as Muvevi, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Contact: hello@muvevi.com.
- —"You" or "Client" refers to any individual or legal entity accessing muvevi.com, purchasing a product from the Muvevi Marketplace, or engaging Muvevi for professional services.
- —"Website" means muvevi.com and all its subdomains and associated pages.
- —"Marketplace" means the digital product store at muvevi.com/marketplace, where Products are listed for purchase or subscription.
- —"Products" means all digital goods listed in the Marketplace, including SaaS subscriptions, software applications offered for acquisition, code templates, integrations, and games.
- —"Services" means bespoke professional work carried out by Muvevi on behalf of a Client, including full-stack web development, mobile app development, backend and API systems, code audit and review, graphic design, 3D modelling, Blender work, and video editing.
- —"Project Agreement" means the written scope of work, proposal, or contract confirmed by both parties before bespoke Services begin.
02. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing the Website, purchasing a Product, or engaging Muvevi for Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all policies referenced herein (including the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy). If you do not agree, you must not use the Website, purchase any Product, or engage Muvevi for Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Joseph Muvevi.
03. Eligibility and Use of the Website
- —You must be at least 18 years old to make a purchase or enter a service engagement. By proceeding, you represent that you have the legal capacity to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
- —You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of any third party or restrict or inhibit anyone else's use of the Website.
- —You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website, its hosting infrastructure, or any system connected to it.
- —You must not transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code through the Website.
- —Muvevi reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate access to the Website without notice for any breach of these Terms.
04. Professional Services
- —All bespoke Services are governed first by a Project Agreement agreed in writing before work commences. These Terms operate in addition to any Project Agreement and govern matters not expressly addressed therein.
- —A non-refundable deposit of between 30% and 50% of the total project fee (as stated in the Project Agreement) is required before work begins. Work does not start until the deposit is received and fully cleared.
- —The balance is payable upon project completion, or in milestone instalments as agreed. Muvevi reserves the right to withhold final deliverables until full payment is received.
- —The Client is responsible for providing all required materials, credentials, content, feedback, and approvals in a timely manner. Delays caused by the Client do not entitle the Client to a refund, and may attract additional charges if the project timeline is materially extended as a result.
- —Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the Project Agreement. Requests beyond those rounds, or changes to the agreed scope, will be quoted separately and require written approval before additional work begins.
- —Muvevi retains the right to display completed work — including screenshots, video walkthroughs, and project descriptions — in a public portfolio, unless the Client explicitly requests confidentiality in writing and Muvevi agrees to that request before the engagement begins.
- —Upon receipt of full payment, the Client owns the custom deliverables created specifically for them (e.g. bespoke code, custom designs, edited video). Muvevi retains ownership of any underlying frameworks, libraries, starter kits, or pre-existing assets used in delivery, along with a perpetual, royalty-free licence to reuse those elements in other projects.
- —Third-party licences embedded in deliverables (open-source libraries, stock assets, font licences) remain subject to their respective terms. Muvevi will document any such components and provide the relevant licence information.
- —If the Client cancels an engagement after the deposit has been paid and work has commenced, the deposit is forfeited. If work beyond the deposit stage has been completed, a proportional fee for work done may also be charged.
05. Marketplace — General Terms
- —All sales of digital Products are final unless a specific scenario in the Refund Policy (muvevi.com/refund) applies. By completing a purchase, you confirm that you have reviewed the product description, compatibility requirements, and licence terms.
- —Muvevi makes reasonable efforts to keep product descriptions accurate. Products are provided 'as is', and Muvevi does not warrant that any Product will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for every use case.
- —You must not resell, redistribute, sublicence, or share Product files as a standalone product, within a bundle, or in any manner that competes with the original listing.
- —You must not use any Product to create material that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.
- —Muvevi reserves the right to revoke a Product licence without refund if these Terms are violated.
06. Marketplace — SaaS Subscriptions
- —SaaS products (such as Motion Library) are sold on a recurring subscription basis. Purchase grants a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the product for the duration of your active subscription.
- —A SaaS subscription does not transfer ownership of the underlying source code. You are licensing access to the product, not acquiring the software.
- —Subscriptions renew automatically on the billing cycle shown at checkout (monthly or annual). You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. No partial-period refunds are issued.
- —If a SaaS product is permanently discontinued, subscribers will receive at least 30 days' notice and a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of any active annual subscription.
- —Sharing login credentials or providing access to multiple users beyond the agreed licence scope is prohibited and may result in immediate cancellation without refund.
07. Marketplace — Apps for Sale (Full Acquisition)
- —Apps listed as 'App for Sale' are complete software products offered for outright acquisition. The listing price is the asking price; Muvevi may accept negotiated offers at its discretion.
- —Upon receipt of the full agreed purchase price, Muvevi will transfer the full source code, repositories, deployment configurations, and related assets to the Buyer. Transfer timelines will be agreed in writing before payment.
- —After transfer and full payment, the Buyer owns the transferred codebase and may use, modify, and commercialise it as they see fit, subject to any embedded third-party open-source licences (which will be documented at transfer).
- —Muvevi may offer a transition period of up to 14 days to assist deployment and onboarding. Work beyond that period is billable at the standard consulting day rate.
- —Existing users, subscriptions, or revenue of the app prior to sale are subject to separate negotiation and are not automatically included unless explicitly agreed in writing.
- —Performance metrics stated in a listing (user counts, MRR, etc.) are historical figures as of the listing date. They are not a guarantee of future performance. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.
08. Marketplace — Templates and Integrations
- —Templates and integrations are sold with a one-time payment granting a perpetual, personal, non-exclusive licence.
- —You may use a template or integration in unlimited personal or client projects. You may deploy a template as the technical foundation of a project delivered to a client, provided the end deliverable is a distinct project and not the template itself re-sold as a product.
- —You may modify files freely for your own use.
- —You must not resell, redistribute, or sublicence the original or modified template as a standalone product, marketplace listing, or component within a product bundle.
- —You must not use a template to build a competing product that is substantially derived from the original template files.
- —Updates within the same major version are provided at no additional charge. Muvevi does not guarantee indefinite update support.
09. Marketplace — Games
- —Games sold in the Marketplace are priced as one-time purchases and are released under the MIT Licence unless the specific product page states otherwise.
- —The MIT Licence permits you to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicence, and sell copies of the game or its source code, provided the original copyright notice and licence text are retained in all copies or substantial portions of the software.
- —Games are provided without warranty of any kind. Compatibility with specific platforms, engines, or operating system versions is stated in the product listing but is not guaranteed to remain current as third-party platforms evolve.
- —Game purchases are non-refundable once the download has been accessed.
10. Payments
- —Prices in the Marketplace are listed in United States Dollars (USD). For Kenya-based clients, KES equivalents may be agreed directly; the mid-market exchange rate on the date of payment will be used.
- —Accepted payment methods include: M-Pesa (Kenyan mobile money), domestic and international bank transfer, debit and credit card payments processed via a secure third-party payment processor, and PayPal. Methods available for any given product are displayed at checkout.
- —Card details are never stored by Muvevi. Card payments are handled entirely by the third-party processor and are subject to that processor's terms and privacy policy.
- —All payments must be received in full and cleared before digital product access is granted or before bespoke Service work commences (subject to deposit requirements).
- —If a payment is reversed, returned, or charged back without a prior valid refund request under the Refund Policy, you are liable for the original amount plus any fees Muvevi incurs as a result of the reversal. Confirmed chargeback abuse will result in permanent exclusion from the Marketplace.
- —Invoiced Services with agreed payment terms will attract a late payment fee of 1.5% of the outstanding amount per month (or part thereof) from the due date, plus any reasonable recovery costs incurred.
- —You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, VAT, withholding taxes, or other governmental charges applicable to your purchase in your jurisdiction. Prices shown exclude such taxes unless explicitly stated otherwise.
11. Intellectual Property
- —All content on the Website — including text, design, graphics, animations, code, video, and 3D assets — is the intellectual property of Joseph Muvevi and is protected under applicable copyright law.
- —You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from Website content without prior written permission from Muvevi, except as expressly permitted by the product licences described in these Terms.
- —The 'Muvevi' name, brand, and wordmark are the property of Joseph Muvevi. You may not use them in any manner that implies endorsement, affiliation, or partnership without written consent.

- —Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you submit regarding Products or the Website may be used by Muvevi freely and without obligation to compensate you.
12. Confidentiality
- —Where a Service engagement requires access to confidential information (source code, databases, business data, API keys, or credentials), Muvevi agrees to treat all such information as strictly confidential and not to disclose it to any third party.
- —Confidential information will not be used for any purpose outside the agreed Service engagement.
- —Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of Muvevi, or that Muvevi is required to disclose by law or valid legal process.
- —For engagements involving particularly sensitive data, a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement may be executed at the Client's request.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
- —The Website, Products, and Services are provided 'as is' and 'as available', without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
- —Muvevi does not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.
- —Muvevi does not warrant that any Product will be compatible with every development environment, framework version, or third-party tool. Compatibility is your responsibility to verify before purchase.
- —No advice or information — oral or written — obtained from Muvevi creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
14. Limitation of Liability
- —To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Muvevi's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Website, any Product, or any Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to Muvevi in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) USD 500.
- —Muvevi shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business interruption — however caused and under any theory of liability, even if Muvevi has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- —These limitations apply even if any limited remedy herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
- —Some jurisdictions do not permit exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Joseph Muvevi from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Website or any Product; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your infringement of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights; or (d) any product, service, or project you build using Muvevi's Products or Services.
16. Privacy
Muvevi collects and processes personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy at muvevi.com/privacy. By using the Website or purchasing a Product, you confirm that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms.
17. Third-Party Links and Services
