Terms of Service

By engaging our services, purchasing a digital product, or using this website you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not proceed with any transaction.

These terms apply to all services provided by Ashik N M, a freelance developer based in Bangalore, India (contact: ashikagumbe@gmail.com).

We offer the following:

• Custom web and mobile application development.
• Technical consulting and code reviews.
• Monthly retainer / ongoing development support.
• Digital products (templates, tools, starter kits).

All project scopes are confirmed in writing (email or signed proposal) before work begins. Any additional work outside the agreed scope will be quoted separately.

• Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
• A project begins only after written acceptance of the quote and receipt of any deposit.
• We reserve the right to decline any project at our sole discretion before work commences.

• Fixed-price projects: 50% deposit upfront, 50% on delivery before handover of final files.
• Retainer / hourly: invoiced monthly in advance; payment due within 7 days of invoice date.
• Digital products: full payment at time of purchase.
• Late payments (beyond 14 days) may attract an interest charge of 2% per month on the outstanding amount, and work may be paused until the balance is cleared.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Prices are in INR unless stated otherwise.

• Fixed-price projects include two rounds of revisions within the agreed scope.
• Further revisions or scope changes will be quoted and billed additionally.
• Clients are responsible for providing timely content, assets, and feedback. Delays caused by the client may result in revised delivery timelines and/or additional charges.

• Upon full and final payment, the client receives full ownership of all custom code and design deliverables created specifically for that project.
• We retain the right to display the work in our portfolio unless the client requests confidentiality in writing.
• Third-party libraries, frameworks, and open-source components used in the project remain subject to their respective licences.
• Digital products are licensed, not sold. Purchase grants you a non-exclusive licence to use the product; resale or redistribution is not permitted without written consent.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption.

• Either party may terminate a project engagement with 14 days written notice.
• Upon termination, the client is responsible for payment of all work completed up to the termination date, calculated at our standard day rate.
• Retainer agreements require 30 days written notice to cancel; the current billing period is non-refundable.

We treat all client project details as confidential and will not disclose them to third parties without consent, except where required by law.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first; failing that, subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Bangalore, Karnataka.

We may revise these terms at any time. The revised terms apply to engagements entered into after the updated "Last updated" date. Existing contracts are governed by the terms in force at the time of signing.
