1. Scope & Assumptions
Deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, milestones, estimated timeline and fees should be recorded in writing before development begins. Estimates depend on the information available at the time and may change when requirements or assumptions change.
2. Client Responsibilities
The client provides timely decisions, content, access, test accounts and lawful rights to supplied materials. Delays in feedback, access or third-party approvals may move the delivery schedule.
3. Milestones, Reviews & Acceptance
Work may be delivered in reviewable milestones. The client should test each milestone and report reproducible issues within the review period stated in the proposal. A new feature or changed requirement is handled as a scope change, not a defect.
4. Fees, Invoices & Third-Party Costs
Payment schedule, currency and taxes are stated in the project agreement or marketplace contract. Hosting, domains, paid APIs, app-store accounts, messaging services, payment gateways and other third-party fees are excluded unless expressly included.
5. Changes & Additional Work
Scope changes require written agreement on their impact to cost and timeline. We will not silently add unapproved charges; equally, work outside the agreed scope is not automatically included.
6. Intellectual Property & Handover
After agreed payments are completed, the client receives the project-specific source code, assets and documentation identified in the project agreement. Pre-existing tools, reusable libraries, open-source software and third-party components remain subject to their existing ownership and licences.
7. Confidentiality & Portfolio Use
Confidential information is used only for the project and protected with reasonable care. Client names, testimonials, screenshots and private project details are published only with permission. A separate NDA may be signed when appropriate.
8. Security & Credentials
Clients should use secure credential-sharing methods and rotate temporary access after handover. No internet-facing system can be promised to be completely free of vulnerabilities. Security testing or compliance work must be explicitly included in scope.
9. Warranty, Support & Maintenance
The proposal should state any post-launch defect-support period. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, content changes, platform updates and new features require a separate support arrangement unless included in writing.
10. Cancellation & Suspension
Either party may end work according to the project agreement. Completed work, committed third-party costs and approved milestones remain payable. Handover of paid work is provided in the form agreed for the project.
11. Platforms & Marketplace Projects
When a project originates on Upwork, Fiverr or another marketplace, communication, payments, disputes and contract rules remain subject to that platform’s current policies.
