Agreement
By engaging Código Maestro Technologies Pvt. Ltd., you agree to the following terms. These terms are supplemented by any Statement of Work, NDA, or specific contract signed between parties — in case of conflict, the specific contract takes precedence.
Scope of Engagement
- All services are delivered under a scope-based model defined in a Statement of Work (SoW) agreed before any work begins.
- Requirements outside the agreed SoW are handled as change requests with revised timelines and pricing provided in writing.
- Código Maestro reserves the right to decline scope changes that are technically infeasible or outside our capability.
- Emergency or fast-track requests may be accommodated at a priority rate; this will be communicated upfront.
Payment & Milestones
- Projects are structured into milestones. Payment for each milestone is due upon mutual sign-off.
- An advance payment (typically 25–50%) is required before work commences on any engagement.
- Invoices are due within 7 days of issue unless otherwise specified in the SoW.
- Late payments beyond 14 days may result in a pause of deliverables until outstanding balances are settled.
- All prices are in INR unless agreed otherwise. GST is applied per applicable law.
Intellectual Property
- All intellectual property (code, designs, documents) created during an engagement transfers to the client upon receipt of full payment.
- Prior to full payment, all deliverables remain the property of Código Maestro.
- Open-source components used in deliverables retain their original licenses; we will document these in the project handover.
- We retain the right to display the project as a portfolio reference unless a confidentiality clause in the SoW prohibits this.
Acceptable Use
- Our services may not be used for illegal, harmful, or unethical purposes.
- Clients are responsible for ensuring that all content, data, and instructions provided to us are lawfully obtained.
- We reserve the right to terminate an engagement if we become aware of illegal or harmful use.
- Any violation of these terms may result in immediate suspension with no refund of milestone payments already made.
Limitation of Liability
- Código Maestro's liability is limited to the total fees paid for the specific project milestone in dispute.
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including loss of revenue or data.
- We provide reasonable warranties for our deliverables for 30 days post-delivery; bug fixes within scope are free.
- Third-party service outages (cloud providers, APIs) are outside our liability scope.
Termination
- Either party may terminate the engagement with 14 days written notice.
- Upon termination, all completed and approved milestones are payable immediately.
- Work-in-progress at the time of termination is invoiced on a pro-rata basis.
- Código Maestro will provide all deliverables completed up to the termination date within 7 business days.
Governing Law & Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes will first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes will be referred to arbitration in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
