Terms & Conditions

1. Scope of Engagement & Services

All client projects are initiated under a separate, mutually signed Statement of Work (SOW) or project proposal. These Terms apply generally to all such agreements.

My services are delivered across four primary phases: Product Strategy & Design, Full-Stack Engineering, and DevOps & Deployment.

Note on Scope Creep: Any feature requests, design changes, or infrastructure shifts that deviate from the explicitly signed SOW will require a written and approved Change Order detailing adjustments to the project timeline and budget.

2. Fees, Milestones, and Payment Terms

Web development and product design infrastructure require structured phase-based commitments. Unless otherwise specified in your project agreement, my standard financial terms are managed as follows:

• Invoicing: Invoices are due within 14 business days of issuance.
• Late Payments: Failure to clear milestone payments within the designated timeframe will result in an immediate pause on active design, development, and server maintenance workflows.

3. Intellectual Property & Ownership Rights

I establish clear distinctions regarding code, assets, and design ownership upon project completion:

• Client Deliverables: Subject to full and final payment of all outstanding invoices, the client gains sole ownership of all custom design files (Figma assets), localized source code, and custom database schemas written specifically for the project.
• Pre-Existing Code & Frameworks: I retain exclusive ownership of my pre-existing code libraries, base templates, configuration scripts, and generic utility patterns. The client is granted a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use these embedded items within their application.
• Portfolio Rights: Unless bound by a signed, explicit Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), I reserve the right to showcase high-fidelity design screens, anonymized architectural overviews, and system case studies in my professional portfolio and marketing materials.

4. Client Obligations & System Access

To execute full-stack development and cloud deployments efficiently, the client agrees to provide timely cooperation, including:

• Provisioning authorized, legal client content, branding text, images, and verified media.
• Granting secure, limited access keys to required third-party services, code repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab), and cloud service provider spaces (e.g., AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker Hub).
• Reviewing and testing deliverables within 7 working days of staging delivery. If no written feedback is submitted within this review period, deliverables are automatically deemed accepted.

5. Post-Launch Bug Warranty & Support

• Standard Warranty: I provide a 30-day post-launch warranty period starting from the live production date. This covers the correction of explicit software bugs—defined as code failing to perform to the technical specifications outlined in the original SOW.
• Exclusions: This warranty strictly excludes new feature implementations, text/content edits, or technical breakages caused by the client (or an external third party) modifying the source code, server environments, or database infrastructure independently.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. This includes, but is not limited to: loss of business revenue, data, uptime, or third-party server outages (e.g., AWS server disruptions) resulting from circumstances outside my direct infrastructural control.

7. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of my registered business jurisdiction. Any disputes arising directly from these terms or subsequent project agreements will be settled exclusively within the appropriate local legal venues.
