Important Notice and Disclaimer Regarding Working Hours:
Please be advised that all IT services and projects provided are performed outside of my regular 9-5 primary job working hours.
This means:
- Communication and work will primarily occur during evenings, weekends, and potentially early mornings.

By engaging my freelance services, you acknowledge and agree to this working arrangement. This structure allows me to offer my skills and expertise to support your IT needs while fulfilling my obligations to my primary employer.
Further Considerations:
It is important for both the freelancer and the client to have clear communication regarding expectations, deadlines, and availability. While this disclaimer sets the general framework, specific project timelines and communication protocols will be established at the outset of each engagement.
