Terms of Service
Clear terms, plain language. These govern the relationship between you and BuddyDevs when we work together.
1. Agreement to Terms
By engaging BuddyDevs or using buddydevs.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a company, you represent that you have the authority to bind that company.
2. Scope of Services
The specific services, deliverables, timelines, and fees for any engagement are defined in a separate written proposal or statement of work (SOW). These Terms apply to every engagement unless the SOW expressly states otherwise.
3. Fees and Payment
Projects are typically billed on a fixed-scope or retainer basis, with milestone-based payments defined in the SOW. Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice. We never require 100% payment upfront.
4. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of final payment, full ownership of the deliverables — code, designs, and documentation produced specifically for you — transfers to you. We retain the right to use general knowledge, techniques, and non-confidential, non-client-specific components. Open-source dependencies remain under their respective licenses.
5. Confidentiality
We treat your business information as confidential and are happy to sign a mutual NDA. We will not disclose your confidential information except as required to deliver the services or by law.
6. Client Responsibilities
Timely delivery depends on timely input. You agree to provide necessary materials, access, feedback, and approvals within the timeframes set out in the SOW. Delays in these may affect the project timeline.
7. Revisions and Acceptance
Each deliverable includes a defined revision allowance described in the SOW. Work is considered accepted when approved in writing or when used in production.
8. Warranties and Support
We warrant that deliverables will materially conform to the agreed specification for a defined period after delivery. Ongoing maintenance and support are available under a separate support agreement.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with written notice as defined in the SOW. You will be billed for work completed up to the termination date.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
