The specific scope of work for each engagement is defined through an official proposal, invoice, or service agreement. Any features, deliverables, or tasks not explicitly listed in the agreed scope will be treated as additional work and billed separately.
Payment Terms
Advance Deposit
An upfront payment, typically 30% of the total project fee, is strictly required before work begins. The exact deposit amount will be stated in the project proposal.
Final Payment
The remaining balance must be paid in full before final deliverable handover, source code transfer, website launch, or app launch.
Milestone Payments
For larger projects, a milestone-based schedule may be agreed. Delays in milestone payments may pause work until the outstanding balance is cleared.
Digital Marketing Retainers
Ongoing digital marketing payments are due in advance of each billing cycle. Failure to pay by the due date may pause campaigns.
Accepted Methods
Bank transfer, UPI, and other methods specified in the invoice. All prices are exclusive of applicable GST unless stated otherwise.
Late Payments
TechMate4u may pause or terminate work if payments are delayed beyond 7 days. A late fee of 2% per month may apply to overdue balances.
No intellectual property, assets, or ownership rights are transferred to the client until full and final payment is received.
Refund Policy
Due to the custom and digital nature of our services, refunds are generally not provided once work has commenced. Time and resources invested in research, planning, design, and development are non-recoverable.
- Advance deposits are non-refundable because they secure our team's capacity and cover discovery and planning work already performed.
- Approved and completed milestones are strictly non-refundable.
- For digital marketing services, ad spend already deployed to third-party platforms such as Google or Meta is non-refundable.
- Partial refunds may only be considered under exceptional circumstances, entirely at the sole discretion of TechMate4u.
Client Responsibilities
Successful project delivery is collaborative. The client agrees to provide the following in a timely manner:
- High-resolution logos, brand assets, and style guidelines.
- Necessary access credentials, including hosting panels, domain accounts, CMS logins, ad accounts, analytics access, and third-party API keys.
- Content, copy, and media required for the project unless content creation is explicitly included in the agreed scope.
- For digital marketing services, timely approval of ad creatives, copy, and campaign strategies before launch.
- Timely feedback and approvals within agreed timeframes.
- Accurate business information, product or service details, and target audience data required for the project.
Delays caused by the client's failure to provide required materials, access, approvals, or feedback will directly impact delivery timelines. TechMate4u will not be responsible for deadline overruns resulting from client-side delays.
Revisions Policy
- Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the proposal, typically up to 3 rounds for design or development unless stated otherwise.
- Revisions must be requested during the designated review period and must relate to the original agreed scope.
- Additional revisions beyond the included limit will be billed at our standard hourly or fixed rate.
- Major structural, functional, or design changes outside the originally agreed scope require a separate quotation and written approval before work proceeds.
- For digital marketing campaigns, strategy revisions and creative refreshes beyond the agreed monthly quota will be billed separately.
- Revision requests submitted after the 7-day acceptance window will be treated as new change requests and billed accordingly.
Acceptance & Approval
- Upon delivery of a completed project or milestone, the client has a 7-day review period to test deliverables and report bugs or discrepancies against the original agreed scope.
- Bug reports must clearly identify the issue, browser or device used, and steps to reproduce.
- If no feedback is provided within 7 calendar days of delivery, the project or milestone will be deemed accepted and approved.
- Approval, whether explicit or implicit, triggers the final payment obligation if not already settled.
- For ongoing marketing services, campaign reports and strategy documents are considered approved if no objections are raised within 5 business days of delivery.
Intellectual Property & Portfolio Rights
Before Full Payment
TechMate4u retains full ownership of all drafts, code, designs, ad creatives, and work-in-progress until the final invoice is paid in full.
After Full Payment
Upon receipt of complete payment, ownership of final approved deliverables transfers to the client. Pre-existing tools, frameworks, templates, and methodologies remain TechMate4u property.
TechMate4u retains the right to feature completed projects, case studies, screenshots, campaign results, and design work in our portfolio and marketing materials. Third-party components, open-source libraries, licensed fonts, and stock assets are governed by their respective licenses.
If a project is explicitly agreed as private or governed by a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement before project commencement, we will keep all details confidential and refrain from featuring it publicly.
Maintenance & Post-Launch Support
- Unless a dedicated maintenance or support contract has been purchased separately, TechMate4u's responsibility concludes once the project is delivered and accepted.
- Future updates, feature additions, bug fixes, software patches, or content changes after final handover will be billed at our standard rate.
- We do not guarantee compatibility with future updates to third-party platforms, CMS systems, browser versions, or operating systems unless covered under a maintenance agreement.
- TechMate4u offers dedicated maintenance plans for ongoing support. Contact us for details.
SEO & Digital Marketing Services
Technical SEO
- A standard website development package does not include comprehensive SEO. Basic setup only means submitting the website to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools so it can be crawled and indexed.
- TechMate4u's Technical SEO service is a separate engagement covering audits, on-page/off-page optimization, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and indexing strategy.
- No guarantees are made regarding specific search rankings, organic traffic volumes, or timelines. SEO results depend on algorithm changes, market competition, domain history, and other factors outside our control.
Digital Marketing Services
- The client is solely responsible for funding advertising budgets directly on platforms such as Google and Meta. TechMate4u's fee covers campaign management and strategy only unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- All campaigns are subject to third-party platform policies. TechMate4u is not responsible for ad rejections, account suspensions, or policy changes by Google, Meta, or any other platform.
- TechMate4u does not guarantee leads, sales, return on ad spend, click-through rates, follower growth, or any specific performance metric.
- We provide regular performance reports based on platform dashboards and analytics tools.
- TechMate4u may pause active campaigns if ad accounts run out of funds, management fees are overdue, or required approvals are not provided.
- All ad accounts, pages, and profiles used for campaigns must be owned by the client. TechMate4u manages these on the client's behalf but does not take ownership.
- All ad creatives, copy, and campaign strategies require written approval before going live.
- Monthly retainer-based marketing services require a minimum 30-day written cancellation notice.
Browser & Device Compatibility
- Web projects are built for modern, up-to-date versions of major browsers including Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
- We do not guarantee pixel-perfect rendering on outdated browsers such as Internet Explorer or obsolete hardware.
- Compatibility testing is performed on current stable browser releases at the time of project delivery.
- Issues arising from browser or operating system updates after delivery are not covered under the standard scope.
Domain, Hosting & Third-Party Expenses
Our project fees cover design and development only unless otherwise stated. The following operational costs remain the client's responsibility:
- Purchasing, renewing, and maintaining domain names, web hosting servers, and SSL certificates.
- Premium plugins, licensed stock images, paid APIs, or third-party software required for functionality unless explicitly included in the proposal.
- Subscription fees for platforms integrated into the project, including Firebase, Supabase, WhatsApp Business API, CRM tools, email platforms, and ad platforms.
- Advertising budgets paid to Google, Meta, or any other platform.
TechMate4u is not liable for server downtime, data loss, hosting provider outages, third-party API changes, plugin updates, or platform policy changes beyond our control.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality of proprietary, sensitive, or commercially valuable information shared during an engagement.
- Business strategies, plans, and financial data.
- Technical architectures, source code, and system designs shared in confidence.
- Login credentials, API keys, access tokens, and account details.
- Customer data, pricing structures, and marketing strategies.
TechMate4u will not disclose client confidential information to any third party without prior written consent, except where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory authority. This obligation survives the termination of any project engagement.
Automation & AI Services Disclaimer
- Automation services rely on third-party APIs and platforms such as Meta WhatsApp Business API, Twilio, and OpenAI. TechMate4u is not responsible for changes to those platforms after delivery.
- The client is responsible for ensuring their use of automation complies with the terms of service of all underlying platforms.
- TechMate4u is not liable if a client's WhatsApp Business account, ad account, or other platform account is restricted, suspended, or banned due to policy violations.
- AI-generated responses or outputs are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, complete, or appropriate in every situation.
- The client is responsible for monitoring AI system outputs and putting appropriate human oversight in place.
- Customer or user data processed by automation systems is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. The client is responsible for their own compliance with applicable data protection laws, including India's DPDPA 2023.
Mobile App Store Disclaimer
- TechMate4u will prepare and submit your application to the Google Play Store and/or Apple App Store as part of the agreed scope, where applicable.
- Approval, rejection, or removal of applications is entirely at the discretion of Google and Apple.
- If an application is rejected, TechMate4u will make reasonable efforts to address the stated reasons. Additional revisions may be billed depending on the nature of the required changes.
- Developer account fees for Google Play Console or Apple Developer Program are the client's responsibility unless otherwise agreed.
- Future app store policy changes requiring updates after delivery fall outside standard project scope and will be handled under maintenance or billed at our standard rate.

Force Majeure
Neither TechMate4u nor the client shall be liable for delays or failure to fulfill obligations caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, government restrictions, widespread internet outages, power failures, cyberattacks on infrastructure providers, or other extraordinary circumstances. The affected party shall notify the other as soon as reasonably practicable, and both parties will make good-faith efforts to resume obligations once conditions allow.

You may terminate the agreement before completion with written notice. All work completed up to the termination date remains fully payable. Advance deposits are non-refundable.

Upon termination, TechMate4u will deliver all work completed and fully paid for up to that date. Work-in-progress that remains unpaid will not be transferred until the outstanding balance is cleared. For marketing retainers, a minimum 30-day written notice is required before cancellation takes effect.
