03No Client Relationship Created by Website Use
Visiting the website, submitting a form or sending an email does not by itself create a client relationship. A client relationship begins only when Trellis and the client enter into an applicable written agreement, statement of work or other accepted engagement document.
Specific service terms, pricing, deliverables, responsibilities, intellectual-property provisions, payment terms and termination rights may be governed by separate agreements.
