Terms of
Service.
Clear commercial terms, transparent milestone agreements, 100% intellectual property ownership, and direct senior engineering accountability across all projects.
Master Service Agreement &
Engagement Terms.
1. Engineering Scope & Sprints
All engineering work, design systems, and digital marketing services are executed through fixed-milestone sprints or transparent rolling retainers with defined deliverables.
Scope Freezing & PRD Sign-Off
Prior to code development, each sprint operates on a frozen Technical Product Requirement Document (PRD) and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). Feature additions outside the agreed scope are triaged into subsequent sprint phases.
Weekly Staging & Preview Deploys
Deliverables are deployed continuously to private, password-protected staging environments (via Vercel and AWS) for client verification, feedback, and QA testing during active sprint cycles.
Milestone Acceptance Criteria
A milestone is deemed complete when all core functional deliverables meet contractual acceptance criteria, including automated build passes and Core Web Vitals targets.
2. Intellectual Property & Code Sovereignty
You retain 100% intellectual property ownership of all custom software, design tokens, and infrastructure configurations produced during our engagements.
Total Client Ownership
Upon full payment of milestone fees, all proprietary source code, Figma design files, database schemas, and documentation are transferred 100% to the client with zero ongoing licensing fees.
Open-Source & Third-Party Libraries
All third-party frameworks (e.g., Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Flutter) remain governed by their respective standard open-source licenses (such as MIT or Apache 2.0).
Zero Hostage Code Policy
We do not enforce proprietary vendor lock-ins or restrictive runtimes. You maintain full administrative access to your GitHub repositories and cloud hosting accounts from Day 1.
3. Fees, Payments & Invoicing
Our pricing structure operates on transparent fixed milestone tiers or 30-day rolling monthly retainers with zero hidden administrative fees.
Sprint Milestone Payments
Fixed-scope engineering sprints typically require an initial milestone deposit prior to development commencement, with subsequent balance settlements tied directly to deliverable releases.
30-Day Rolling Retainers
Ongoing advisory and continuous development retainers operate on a 30-day rolling basis, invoiced at the beginning of each billing cycle with flexible termination terms.
Late Payments & Suspension
Invoices overdue beyond 14 business days may result in the temporary pause of active sprint deployments until account balances are reconciled.
4. Performance Standards & 30-Day Warranty
Every project is backed by a 30-day post-launch technical warranty ensuring bug-free operation and contractual speed compliance.
30-Day Post-Launch Warranty
Every production deployment includes 30 days of dedicated senior architect support to resolve any functional bugs or regressions resulting from our deliverables at zero extra cost.
Performance & CWV Targets
We engineer web platforms to pass strict Google Core Web Vitals thresholds and mobile load benchmarks as specified in the agreed project PRD.
Third-Party Outages Exclusions
Warranty coverage excludes external third-party outages, API rate limit changes, or hosting disruptions outside our direct infrastructure control (e.g., AWS, Cloudflare, or Stripe downtimes).
5. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure
We uphold strict confidentiality regarding your proprietary business logic, database architectures, and commercial roadmap.
Mutual Confidentiality
Both parties agree to protect and treat all non-public technical specifications, trade secrets, and codebase data as strictly confidential.
Bilateral NDA Enforcement
We execute formal bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements prior to accessing client staging databases, production repositories, or sensitive financial pipelines.
Portfolio References
We only publish sanitized, non-confidential case study summaries and technical achievements with prior client consent or anonymized industry framing.
6. Limitation of Liability & Termination
Our liability parameters reflect standard commercial development protections with clear provisions for mutual termination.
Mutual Termination
Either party may terminate an ongoing rolling retainer by providing written notice 14 days prior to the next billing cycle.
Liability Cap
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, total aggregate liability arising out of any engagement is capped at the total amount paid by the client under the specific Statement of Work.
Governing Law
These terms and any associated project agreements are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable commercial law, with disputes resolved through direct executive negotiation.
