The specific deliverables, scope, timeline, and pricing for each engagement are discussed during discovery calls and formalized in separate project agreements before work commences.

The following terms apply to discovery calls booked through our website:

• Discovery calls are complimentary and last approximately 30 minutes. They are designed to assess project feasibility, discuss technical requirements, and determine mutual fit
• Booking a discovery call does not constitute a contractual obligation for either party to proceed with a project engagement
• Meeting links (Google Meet) will be sent to the email address provided during booking. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address is correct
• I reserve the right to reschedule or cancel calls with reasonable prior notice. You will be notified via email of any changes
• If you need to reschedule, please contact me at least 24 hours before the scheduled time
• Information shared during discovery calls is treated as confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties

All project engagements are governed by a separate project agreement or statement of work (SOW) that will include the following elements:

• Scope of work: Detailed description of features, deliverables, and acceptance criteria
• Timeline: Project milestones, delivery dates, and review periods
• Pricing: Fixed project price or hourly rate, broken down by milestone
• Payment schedule: Deposit requirements, milestone payments, and final payment terms
• Revision policy: Number of included revision rounds and process for additional revisions
• Communication plan: Preferred channels (Slack, Telegram, email), update frequency, and response time expectations
• Intellectual property: Transfer timeline and conditions
• Confidentiality: Non-disclosure obligations and data handling

Work will not commence until the project agreement is signed and the initial deposit is received. Any changes to the agreed scope after project commencement may result in timeline adjustments and additional costs, which will be communicated and agreed upon in writing before implementation.

Unless otherwise specified in a project agreement, the following payment terms apply:

• Deposit: A deposit of 30–50% of the total project cost is required before work begins. The exact percentage depends on project size and complexity
• Milestone payments: For larger projects, payments are structured around deliverable milestones (e.g., design approval, development complete, testing complete)
• Final payment: The remaining balance is due upon project delivery and your approval of final deliverables
• Payment methods: Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, cryptocurrency (USDT, USDC, ETH, BNB), and other methods as agreed
• Currency: Pricing is typically quoted in USD. Payment in other currencies is accepted at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment
• Late payments: Invoices are due within 7 days of issuance. Late payments beyond 14 days may result in project work being paused until payment is received
• Refund policy: Deposits and milestone payments are non-refundable once work on that phase has commenced. If I am unable to deliver the agreed-upon work, a proportional refund will be provided

Third-Party Components

Projects may include open-source libraries, frameworks, and third-party components that are subject to their respective licenses (MIT, Apache, etc.). You are responsible for complying with the terms of these licenses. I will provide a list of third-party dependencies used in your project upon request.

Both parties agree to keep confidential all proprietary information, trade secrets, technical data, business strategies, and other sensitive information disclosed during the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the project relationship. Confidential information does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or lawfully obtained from a third party.

To ensure successful project delivery, you agree to:

• Provide timely feedback, approvals, and decisions within agreed-upon review periods
• Supply all necessary content, assets, API credentials, and access required for the project
• Designate a single point of contact for project communications
• Review and test deliverables within the specified review periods
• Make payments according to the agreed schedule

Delays caused by late client feedback, missing content, or delayed payments may result in corresponding timeline adjustments.

Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds as outlined in the project agreement. Additional revisions or changes beyond the agreed scope are considered change requests and may incur additional costs. All change requests must be submitted in writing and approved before implementation.

This warranty does not cover issues arising from modifications made by you or third parties after delivery.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sourav Chhimpa from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights in connection with content or materials you provide for the project.

Either party may terminate a project engagement with 14 days written notice. In the event of termination, you will be invoiced for all work completed up to the termination date. Completed deliverables will be transferred upon full payment. The deposit is non-refundable in the event of client-initiated termination.
