Terms of Service

Last updated: March 18, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Kev's Kit software advisory service ("Service") operated by Kevin Doran ("Advisor", "I", "me"). By enrolling in the Service, you ("Client", "you") agree to these Terms.

1. Service Description

Kev's Kit is a six-month software advisory engagement. The Service includes:

  • 12 advisory sessions (approximately 30 minutes each), held every other Tuesday
  • Async email correspondence between sessions to prepare for upcoming meetings
  • Practical guidance on software decisions, requirements, hiring, and technology strategy

The Service is advisory in nature. I do not write code, deliver software, manage developers, or provide implementation services.

2. Engagement Term

Each engagement runs for six (6) months from the date of your first scheduled session. Sessions are held on Tuesdays, every other week, at a mutually agreed time.

The engagement does not automatically renew. At the end of six months, the Service ends. If both parties agree to continue, a new six-month engagement must be explicitly started.

3. Pricing & Payment

The Service is billed at $350 USD per month for six months. Payment is processed monthly via Stripe. You will be charged at the beginning of each month for the duration of the engagement.

The subscription does not auto-renew beyond the six-month term. No further charges will be made after the final month unless you choose to start a new engagement.

4. Scheduling & Cancellations

Sessions are held on Tuesdays only. If either party needs to reschedule a session, they should provide at least 24 hours' notice. Missed sessions without notice will not be rescheduled or refunded.

I reserve the right to reschedule sessions due to illness, travel, or other circumstances with reasonable notice.

5. What the Service Is Not

To set clear expectations:

  • I am not your employee, contractor, or CTO. This is an advisory relationship.
  • I do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, or cost savings.
  • I do not provide legal, financial, or accounting advice.
  • I do not sign NDAs as a condition of enrollment. If you need to share sensitive information, we can discuss what's appropriate on a case-by-case basis.
  • I am not responsible for decisions you make based on my advice, including hiring decisions, technology purchases, or code you write or commission.

6. Confidentiality

I will treat information you share during our sessions as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties. However, I may reference anonymized, non-identifying details from client engagements in my writing or marketing (e.g., "a client in e-commerce was dealing with...").

If you'd prefer I not reference your engagement at all, let me know and I will respect that.

7. Cancellation & Early Termination

Either party may end the engagement at any time, for any reason, with written notice via email.

If you (the Client) cancel:

  • Your subscription will be cancelled at the end of the current billing period.
  • You will not be charged for any months after cancellation.
  • No refunds will be issued for the current month's payment, as the month's session(s) and async support remain available to you.

If I (the Advisor) cancel:

  • I will provide as much notice as reasonably possible.
  • You will not be charged for any months after cancellation.
  • If I cancel before delivering any sessions in the current billing period, that month's payment will be refunded in full.

This is a two-way relationship. If it's not working for either of us, we can part ways — no hard feelings, no penalties.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Service provides opinions and guidance based on my professional experience. I am not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or any decisions made based on advice given during sessions.

My total liability under these Terms shall not exceed the total fees you have paid for the Service.

9. Intellectual Property

Any frameworks, templates, or general methodologies I share during sessions are mine and may be reused with other clients. Specific recommendations tailored to your business are yours to use as you see fit.

10. Communication

All communication between sessions happens over email. I respond to session-related emails within a reasonable timeframe during normal business hours. This is not an on-call service.

11. Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. If I make material changes, I will notify you by email. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Mexico. Any disputes arising from these Terms will be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If that fails, disputes will be submitted to the courts of Nuevo León, Mexico.
