  • Minor Changes: Changes representing less than 20% of the total project budget, or otherwise considered minor by our company, shall be billed at standard hourly rates. Any resulting adjustments to project schedules shall be communicated. Additional fees arising from such changes shall not be restricted by previously provided estimates.
  • Major Changes: Changes exceeding 20% of the project value, or substantially altering the agreed requirements, shall require a revised proposal. Work relating to such changes shall not commence until approval has been received.

Relationships

  • Exclusivity: Nothing within the agreement requires either party to maintain an exclusive business relationship. Both parties remain free to engage with other companies, clients, contractors, or service providers.
  • Independent Contractor: Our company operates as an independent contractor and determines the manner in which services are delivered. Nothing within the agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, agency relationship, or joint venture. Work completed by our company shall not be considered “work for hire” under applicable copyright laws.

Liability

Services are provided on an “as is” basis unless expressly stated otherwise within the agreement. Our company shall not be responsible for losses, damages, claims, or costs arising from the use of its services. Any liability shall be limited to the amount paid by the client under the agreement.

Rights for Work Produced

License: Following full payment, the client shall receive a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the deliverables in their approved form. Deliverables may not be modified, redistributed, extracted, or used to create derivative works without prior written authorization from our company.

Support Services

Warranty Periods: Where reasonably required, our company may provide maintenance, correction, or update services relating to deliverables. Unless otherwise agreed, such services shall be billed at standard hourly rates. Any warranty shall become void if deliverables are modified by a third party.
