Legal Agreement

TERMS OF SERVICE

The rules of engagement. We build exceptional digital experiences, you agree to be reasonable. It's that simple. No legal gymnastics, just clarity.

Effective: September 9, 2025
Global Agreement

TL;DR - The Essentials

  • We build exceptional digital products. You pay us for our expertise.
  • Don't use our services for illegal stuff. Common sense applies.
  • Our code is our art. Don't steal it. We own what we create unless otherwise agreed.
  • Pay on time. We deliver on time. Professional respect goes both ways.
  • Disputes? Let's talk like adults before involving lawyers.

01. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing our website, using our services, or engaging with APPSERA LTD in any capacity, you're agreeing to these terms. It's a digital handshake. If you don't agree, that's cool—but you can't use our services. Simple as that.

Who Can Use Our Services:

  • • You must be at least 18 years old or have parental consent
  • • You must have the legal authority to enter into contracts
  • • You can't be barred from receiving services under applicable laws
  • • You must provide accurate information when requested

02. Our Services

APPSERA provides elite digital development services. Here's what we do and how we do it:

What We Provide

  • Custom Development: iOS, Android, web applications, and backend systems
  • Design Services: UI/UX design, prototyping, and user research
  • Consulting: Technical strategy, architecture planning, and optimization
  • Maintenance: Ongoing support, updates, and scaling assistance

Service Availability

We strive for 99.9% uptime, but we're human (mostly). Services may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or because we're adding something awesome. We'll notify you when possible.

03. Rules of Use

Here's what you can and can't do with our services. Most of this is common sense, but lawyers make us spell it out:

You CAN

  • ✓ Use our services for legitimate business purposes
  • ✓ Provide feedback and suggestions
  • ✓ Share your experience with others
  • ✓ Request modifications within scope
  • ✓ Access your data anytime

You CAN'T

  • ✗ Use services for illegal activities
  • ✗ Attempt to hack or compromise our systems
  • ✗ Resell our services without permission
  • ✗ Violate intellectual property rights
  • ✗ Harass our team (we bite back)

Violation Consequences: Break these rules and we reserve the right to terminate services immediately, retain any payments made, and pursue legal action if necessary. We don't play when it comes to protecting our work and team.

04. Intellectual Property

Let's be crystal clear about who owns what. This section prevents future headaches:

Our Property

Unless explicitly transferred in writing:

  • • All code, designs, and methodologies we create remain ours
  • • Our frameworks, libraries, and tools are our proprietary assets
  • • The APPSERA brand, logo, and identity are exclusively ours
  • • Generic components and non-custom elements stay with us

Your Property

What becomes yours upon full payment:

  • • Custom code specifically created for your project
  • • Unique designs and assets made exclusively for you
  • • Your data, content, and user information
  • • Project-specific documentation and deliverables

License Grants

Upon full payment, you receive a perpetual, worldwide license to use the custom deliverables for your intended business purposes. We retain the right to showcase the work in our portfolio unless you explicitly request otherwise (and pay the invisibility fee).

Open Source Note: We may use open-source components in your project. These remain governed by their respective licenses. We'll provide a full list of dependencies.

05. Payment Terms

Money talks. Here's how the financial relationship works:

Payment Structure

Standard Projects

  • • 50% deposit to start
  • • 25% at midpoint milestone
  • • 25% upon delivery
  • • NET 30 payment terms

Ongoing Services

  • • Monthly retainer in advance
  • • Automatic renewal unless cancelled
  • • 30-day notice for cancellation
  • • Unused hours don't roll over

Accepted Payment Methods

Wire transfer, ACH, credit cards (3% processing fee), and cryptocurrency (for the forward-thinking).

Late Payments

Payments over 15 days late incur a 5% fee. Over 30 days? We pause all work and retain completed code.

Refund Policy

Deposits are non-refundable once work begins. Milestone payments are final upon approval. We stand by our work but time machines haven't been invented yet.

06. Warranties & Disclaimers

What We Guarantee

  • Our work will substantially conform to agreed specifications
  • We'll use professional-grade practices and standards
  • Deliverables will be free from material defects for 90 days
  • We have the right to license/transfer the work we create

Legal Disclaimer (The Scary Caps Lock Part)

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Translation: We build amazing stuff, but we can't guarantee it'll make you a billionaire or solve world hunger.

07. Limitation of Liability

This is the part where lawyers protect us from nuclear lawsuits:

Maximum Liability

Our total liability for any claim related to these terms or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. That's it. That's the ceiling.

What We're NOT Liable For

  • • Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • • Lost profits, revenue, or business opportunities
  • • Data loss (you should have backups)
  • • Third-party actions or breaches
  • • Acts of God, war, or internet outages

Reality Check: We've never had a liability claim because we deliver exceptional work and communicate like adults. But lawyers insist on this section.

08. Termination

All good things can come to an end. Here's how we part ways if needed:

Mutual Termination

  • • 30-day written notice from either party
  • • Final invoice for work completed
  • • Orderly transition of materials
  • • No penalties for standard termination

Immediate Termination

  • • Breach of payment terms
  • • Illegal use of services
  • • Violation of IP rights
  • • Abusive behavior toward our team

Post-Termination

Upon termination: All payments become due immediately. We'll provide you with your data and completed work (if paid for). Confidentiality obligations survive. We might still be friends on LinkedIn.

09. Governing Law & Disputes

Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of our incorporation jurisdiction, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction in our operating region.

Dispute Resolution

Before anyone lawyers up, we agree to:

  1. First, try to resolve disputes through direct communication (like adults)
  2. If that fails, attempt mediation with a neutral third party
  3. Only as a last resort, proceed to binding arbitration or litigation

Note: In our 9+ years, we've never needed step 3. We prefer building awesome stuff over feeding lawyers' Porsche funds.
