Terms of Service

Last updated: July 15, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you,” “client,” or “user”) and TCG Solutions, operating as That Computer Guy 26 (“TCG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a sole-proprietor business run by Gary Amick in Seymour, IN. They govern your use of this website and any services you engage us to perform. By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or our services.

Plain-English summary (not a substitute for the full terms): That Computer Guy 26 is a one-person, home-operated hobby and second job. Hardware work is drop-off only — no on-site or in-home visits, you supply the parts, and there is no payment up front. We are not insured, bonded, or a licensed contractor or electrician. For websites and software, we retain ownership of the code we write; once you’ve paid in full, you receive the finished, working product to use — for a website, the live public-facing site running on your domain with your content. Full transfer of the source code is available only by separate written agreement. Security testing is only ever done with your written permission. Estimates are not guarantees, and everything is provided “as is” to the fullest extent Indiana and federal law allow.

1. Who we are & the nature of this business

That Computer Guy 26 is a one-person, home-operated hobby and second job — not a full-time business or a licensed contractor. Gary Amick works in the IT and construction field during the week; this business operates monday–friday 5:00–10:00 pm; weekends by appointment, by arrangement. We are not insured, not bonded, and not a licensed contractor, electrician, or certified/insured security firm. Nothing on this site or in our communications should be read to imply otherwise. Where a job requires a licensed trade (for example, line-voltage electrical or structural work), you are responsible for hiring an appropriately licensed and insured provider for that portion; we do not perform it.

2. The website & information on it

Content on this site — guides, service descriptions, prices or price ranges, and educational material — is general information to help you decide. It is not a fixed quote, a warranty, or professional, legal, financial, or security advice for your specific situation. Prices shown are typical starting points and may change with parts, scope, and conditions; we confirm pricing in writing before doing work.

Live data feeds. This site displays information pulled from public third-party sources (for example markets, fuel prices, weather, road conditions, space, and cybersecurity advisories). That information is provided “as of” its last update, is not real-time, may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and is offered for general information only. Do not rely on it for trading, safety, navigation, security, or other consequential decisions. We are not responsible for the third-party data or for any action you take based on it.

3. Services — general scope

4. Your device, data & backups

Back up your data first. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of any data on a device you bring to us. Repair, diagnostic, and data-recovery work carries an inherent risk of data loss, and data recovery is never guaranteed. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the loss, corruption, or disclosure of data, or for the cost of reconstructing it.

Risk of loss. While we take reasonable care, we are not insured; you leave a device with us at your own risk, and our liability for loss of or damage to a device is limited as described in Section 10.

Storage & unclaimed devices. After a repair is complete, we will hold your device for up to 30 days at no charge. After that, storage is billed at $1 per day. A device left unclaimed, and any unpaid balance owed on it, may be treated as abandoned and disposed of, recycled, or sold to recover costs after we make reasonable attempts to contact you, to the extent permitted by Indiana law. You remain responsible for charges incurred up to that point.

Lawful items only. By leaving a device you confirm it is yours (or you’re authorized to service it) and does not contain unlawful material. We will cooperate with lawful requests from authorities as required.

5. Websites & software — intellectual property & copyright

This section governs custom website and software development work. Specific terms in a signed proposal or statement of work control where they differ.

5.1 We own the code; you receive the finished product

Under United States copyright law, the author of software owns the copyright in the code they write unless they sign a written “work-made-for-hire” or assignment agreement. Accordingly, TCG retains ownership of and copyright in the source code, software, and underlying build we create, along with the tools, components, and techniques used to make it. We do not assign or transfer ownership of the code unless we expressly agree to that in a separate signed agreement (typically for an additional fee).

What you receive is the finished, working product. For a website, that is the completed, deployed public-facing site — the live site your visitors see, running on your hosting and domain, together with all content, images, and branding you provided. For custom software, it is the finished, functioning application delivered for your use. Upon full and final payment, we grant you a paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, operate, and display that finished product for your own business purposes. Until payment is made in full, that license has not been granted and all rights remain with us.

5.2 What each side owns

You own the content, text, images, logos, brand, domain name, and data you provide or that we produce from your materials. We own the source code, page templates, and the reusable components, libraries, frameworks, and know-how we use or create to build your project, and we may reuse those on other work. The license in Section 5.1 lets you fully use and operate the finished product; it does not transfer the underlying code and gives no other client any rights to your content or brand.

5.3 Third-party & open-source components

Projects may include third-party or open-source software, fonts, images, plugins, or services, each governed by its own license or terms. Those components remain the property of their owners and are provided under their respective licenses. You are responsible for maintaining any required subscriptions, licenses, or attributions after handoff.

5.4 Materials you provide

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all content, text, images, logos, trademarks, and other materials you provide, and that our use of them for your project will not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, or other rights. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of materials you provide or instruct us to use.

5.5 No warranty of non-infringement; software “as is”

We use reasonable care not to knowingly infringe others’ rights, but we do not warrant that a deliverable is free of all possible third-party claims. Software and websites are provided “as is” without warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from bugs or vulnerabilities, except for any specific warranty stated in writing for a given project.

5.6 Portfolio

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, we may identify you as a client and display non-confidential examples of completed work (screenshots, descriptions, and links) in our portfolio and marketing.

5.7 Accounts & credentials you provide

Most projects rely on third-party services that should be in your name — for example domain and DNS, web hosting, cloud platforms, servers or computing, email, AI/model providers, APIs, payment processors, and analytics. You are responsible for creating and owning these accounts and for giving us the credentials or access we need, so that everything runs under your ownership and billing and stays in your control. If you do not set up a required account in time and ask us to proceed anyway, we may create it or use one of our own accounts temporarily to keep the project moving. Anything running under our account is still billable to you and must later be moved to your own account — and that migration is additional, billable work (plus any transfer, setup, or downtime costs the provider imposes). Setting up your own accounts from the start avoids that added cost and keeps full ownership with you.

6. This website’s own content

The design, text, graphics, logo, code, and other content of this website are owned by TCG Solutions or its licensors and are protected by United States copyright, trademark, and other laws. The That Computer Guy 26 name and shield logo are our marks. You may view and share links to the site, but you may not copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, or create derivative works from its content for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

7. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, send a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to Gary Amick at gary.amick0614@gmail.com, including: (a) your signature (physical or electronic); (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) the URL of the material claimed to infringe; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will respond as required by law and may remove material we reasonably believe is infringing.

8. Security-testing services — authorization required

Security assessments and penetration testing are performed only on systems you own or are expressly authorized in writing to have tested, under a scope agreed in advance. You represent that you have the authority to authorize the testing and that doing so will not violate any third party’s rights or any agreement. Unauthorized access to computers is illegal under federal law (the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030) and Indiana law (including Ind. Code § 35-43-2-3), and we will not test any system without proper authorization. No security service can make a system “unhackable”; our goal is to reduce risk and provide a prioritized, plain-English fix list. You are responsible for backing up systems before testing and for any consents required from your own users.

9. Payment

Repair work is paid on completion. Project work may be invoiced per a written agreement (including deposits or milestones for larger builds). Amounts are due as stated on the invoice. Unpaid balances may accrue reasonable late fees where permitted, suspend any license granted in Section 5, and, for hosted or maintained work, result in suspension of that service after reasonable notice. You are responsible for reasonable costs of collection permitted by law.

10. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Indiana and federal law, the website and all services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant specific results, uptime, response times, security, or data preservation unless expressly agreed in writing.

Liability cap. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of the website or a service — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — will not exceed the amount you actually paid us for the specific service giving rise to the claim (or, for the website itself, $100). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility. Some limitations may not apply where prohibited by law, and nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for our own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TCG Solutions and Gary Amick from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) materials or instructions you provide; (b) your misuse of a deliverable; (c) your authorization for us to test any system; or (d) your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

12. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in or serving Jackson County, Indiana have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute, and you consent to that jurisdiction. Any dispute must be brought in your individual capacity and not as part of a class action.

13. Changes, severability & entire agreement

We may update these Terms; the “last updated” date above shows the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept it. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary. These Terms, together with any signed proposal, statement of work, invoice, or engagement note for a specific job (which controls where it differs), and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding their subject matter.
