Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of DEVBLDR's website (devbldr.io) and development services ("Services"). By accessing our website or engaging our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

1. Services Provided

DEVBLDR provides custom software development services, including but not limited to MVP development, web applications, mobile applications, AI integration, API development, and SaaS platforms. The specific scope, timeline, and deliverables are defined in a separate project agreement or Statement of Work ("SOW") agreed upon by both parties.

2. Payment Terms

• Flat-Rate Projects: Payment is due as outlined in the SOW. Typically 50% upfront and 50% upon completion.
• Retainer Services: Monthly retainer fees are billed at the start of each billing cycle.
• Late Payments: Invoices unpaid after 15 days may incur a 1.5% monthly late fee.
• Refunds: Deposits are non-refundable once development work has begun, unless DEVBLDR fails to deliver as agreed.

3. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, DEVBLDR transfers all intellectual property rights for custom-developed code to the client. This includes source code, documentation, and related materials created specifically for your project. DEVBLDR retains the right to use open-source libraries and frameworks which remain subject to their respective licenses.

4. Client Responsibilities

As a client, you agree to:

• Provide timely feedback and approvals as requested
• Supply necessary assets, credentials, and information
• Ensure that provided materials do not infringe on third-party rights
• Make payments according to the agreed schedule
• Maintain confidentiality of any proprietary information shared by DEVBLDR

5. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public information shared during the engagement. This includes project details, business strategies, pricing, and technical specifications. This obligation survives termination of the service agreement.

6. Limitation of Liability

DEVBLDR's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the three months preceding the claim. DEVBLDR is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages including loss of revenue, data, or business opportunities.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

DEVBLDR warrants that Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue projections, or market success. Our Services are provided "as is" with respect to third-party integrations and platforms outside our control.

8. Project Timelines

DEVBLDR commits to the timelines outlined in the SOW. Timeline extensions may be necessary due to client delays in providing required materials or approvals, scope changes, or unforeseen technical challenges. We will communicate any delays promptly and work collaboratively to minimize impact.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate the service agreement with 14 days written notice. Upon termination, the client is responsible for payment of all completed work up to the termination date. DEVBLDR will deliver all completed work product upon receipt of final payment.

10. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes will be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.

11. Modifications

DEVBLDR reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of our Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We recommend reviewing these Terms periodically.
