Welcome to Appspine Technologies. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our website (appspine.com) and the professional services provided by Appspine Technologies Pvt Ltd.

1. Scope of Services

Appspine provides software development, mobile app engineering, UI/UX design, and AI integration services. Each project is governed by a specific Statement of Work (SOW) or Service Agreement that defines the deliverables, timelines, and costs.

2. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights

• Client Ownership: Upon full and final payment, all custom-coded software, designs, and assets created specifically for the Client shall be transferred to the Client.
• Company IP: We retain ownership of any pre-existing code, proprietary frameworks, or "base" libraries used to build the software. We grant a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use these.

3. Payment Terms

Services are provided on a Fixed-Price, Time & Materials, or Retainer basis as agreed in the SOW. Invoices not paid within 15 days of the due date may result in a temporary suspension of work or a late fee (typically 1.5% per month).

To ensure project success, the Client agrees to provide timely feedback, supply necessary API keys or assets, and appoint a single point of contact for streamlined communication.

Both parties agree to keep all "Confidential Information" (business plans, source code, financial data) strictly private. This obligation survives project termination for three (3) years.

6. Warranty and Liability

• Bug-Fix Period: A 30-day warranty period is provided post-launch to address critical bugs at no extra cost.
• Limitation of Liability: Appspine shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the developed software.
