Terms & Conditions

Monster Books LLC

Terms and Conditions West Virginia-Based Business Consulting & Professional Services Effective December 2025

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all services provided by Monster Books LLC, a West Virginia limited liability company (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Consultant”), to you or the entity you represent (“Client” or “you”). By signing a proposal, statement of work, engagement letter, invoice, or otherwise engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services

We will perform the professional services described in the applicable Proposal, Statement of Work, Engagement Letter, or Invoice (collectively “Scope of Work”). Any additional services or changes in scope must be agreed in writing and may result in additional fees.

2. Fees & Payment

  • All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of applicable sales tax (West Virginia currently does not tax most professional services, but we reserve the right to add tax if required by law).

  • Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise stated. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by West Virginia law.

  • Client is responsible for all collection costs and reasonable attorney fees if an invoice becomes delinquent.

  • We accept payment by ACH, wire, check, check, and major credit cards (3% convenience fee applies to credit card payments).

3. Client Responsibilities

Client agrees to:

  • Provide accurate, timely, and complete information and materials.

  • Make key personnel available as reasonably required.

  • Notify us promptly of any concerns or changes in scope. Delays caused by Client may result in schedule adjustments and additional fees.

4. Refund & Cancellation Policy

See the separate Refund Policy provided with these Terms or on our website. All services are otherwise non-cancellable and non-refundable except as expressly stated.

5. Intellectual Property

  • All pre-existing intellectual property of each party remains the sole property of that party.

  • Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use deliverables solely for Client’s internal business purposes.

  • We retain the right to use general know-how, methodologies, templates, and tools developed or used during the engagement in future projects for other clients (without disclosing Client’s confidential information).

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other party’s Confidential Information confidential for a period of five (5) years after termination of the engagement. This does not apply to information that is publicly known, independently developed, or required by law to be disclosed, or disclosed with written permission.

7. Independent Contractor

We are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employer-employee, partnership, or joint-venture relationship.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY WEST VIRGINIA LAW:

  • Our total liability for any claim arising out of this engagement shall not exceed the fees actually paid by Client in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

  • We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages (including lost profits, data, or business interruption), even if advised of the possibility.

  • Client agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims arising from Client’s misuse of deliverables or provision of inaccurate information.

9. Warranty Disclaimer

Services and deliverables are provided “AS IS.” We warrant that services will be performed in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10. Termination

  • Either party may terminate for material breach with 5 days’ written notice if the breach is not cured.

  • We may terminate immediately if Client fails to pay invoices when due or becomes insolvent.

  • Upon termination, Client shall pay for all services rendered and expenses incurred up to the termination date.

11. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control (acts of God, war, pandemics, government orders, internet outages, etc.).

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Exclusive venue for any dispute shall be the state or federal courts located in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Each party waives the right to a jury trial.

13. Non-Solicitation

During the engagement and for twelve (12) months afterward, Client agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit or hire any of our employees or independent contractors who worked on Client’s project without our prior written consent (liquidated damages of 50% of the individual’s annual compensation shall apply if breached).

14. Entire Agreement & Modifications

These Terms, together with any signed Proposal or Statement of Work, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior discussions. No modification is binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.

15. Severability & Waiver

If any provision is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force. Waiver of any breach does not constitute waiver of any subsequent breach.

16. Assignment

Client may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign to a successor in interest or in the event of merger or sale.

By engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
