1. Services
We provide software development, web and mobile application development, website design, graphic design, branding, vehicle wrap design, and related services ("Services"). The scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing will be defined in a written proposal, estimate, or statement of work ("SOW").
2. Quotes, Deposits, and Payment
- Quotes are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.
- Projects may require an upfront deposit to commence work; remaining balances are due per the SOW.
- Invoices are payable within 15 days unless otherwise specified. Late payments may incur a 1.5% monthly service charge or the maximum permitted by law.
3. Client Responsibilities
- Provide timely feedback, content, brand assets, and approvals.
- Ensure you have necessary rights and permissions for all materials supplied.
- Design sign-off indicates acceptance of the deliverables for that milestone.
4. Intellectual Property
Upon full payment, you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the final deliverables for their intended purpose. We retain ownership of pre-existing IP, tools, libraries, and non-transferable know-how. Unless agreed otherwise, we may showcase non-confidential work in our portfolio and marketing.
5. Revisions and Change Requests
Each phase includes a reasonable number of revisions as defined in the SOW. Changes outside the agreed scope may require a change order and additional fees.
6. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to use confidential information solely for the purpose of the project and not to disclose it to third parties, except as required by law.

We warrant that Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner. Except as expressly stated, Services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or related to the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the Services giving rise to the claim. We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
9. Third-Party Services
We may recommend or integrate third-party services or software. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting their terms. We are not responsible for third-party performance or availability.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach if not cured within 10 days of written notice. You will pay for Services rendered up to the termination date and any committed third-party costs.
11. Non-Solicitation
During the project and for 12 months thereafter, you agree not to directly solicit employment of our employees or contractors who are involved in your project without our written consent.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of your principal place of business (unless otherwise stated in the SOW), without regard to conflict of law principles.
