Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website, and any consultation, design, development, or related services provided by Muhammad Anas Inam (“I”, “me”, “my”). By engaging my services or interacting with the site, you agree to these Terms.

1) Scope of Services

I provide software engineering and full-stack development services with a focus on the MERN stack, Next.js, Azure DevOps CI/CD, and AI automations (including LLM agents and n8n). The exact scope, deliverables, milestones, and pricing are confirmed in writing (email, proposal, or contract) for each engagement.

2) Engagement Process

• Discovery & Proposal: We discuss requirements and constraints; I provide a scope and estimate or fixed quote.
• Agreement: Work begins once the scope, timeline, and commercial terms are approved (and any initial deposit is received if applicable).
• Delivery: I collaborate transparently, share progress, and ship tested, maintainable code aligned with agreed goals.

3) Client Responsibilities

• Provide timely feedback, approvals, and access to required systems or assets.
• Ensure you have rights to any content, data, or trademarks supplied.
• Designate a single point of contact for decisions to keep delivery efficient.

4) Changes to Scope

Requests that alter the agreed scope (features, integrations, timelines) may require a change order and adjusted budget/schedule. I will communicate impacts clearly in writing before proceeding.

5) Fees, Invoicing & Payment

• Rates and payment schedule are specified in the proposal or contract.
• Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Late payments may pause work and can incur reasonable admin/interest charges.
• Any third-party services (e.g., hosting, licenses) are billed to or paid directly by the client.

6) Intellectual Property

• Client IP: You retain ownership of your pre-existing materials and data.
• Deliverables: Upon full payment, you receive the rights specified in the proposal/contract (typically a license or assignment to project-specific code and assets).
• Developer Tools: I may use frameworks, libraries, and internal utilities. I retain rights to my generic know-how, templates, and reusable components.
• Open Source: Where open-source software is used, its original licenses continue to apply.

7) Confidentiality & NDAs

I respect confidentiality and often work under NDAs. I will protect non-public information you share with me and only use it to deliver the agreed services. You agree to protect any non-public information I share (e.g., proposals, internal approaches).

8) Warranties & Support

• I warrant that I will perform services with reasonable skill and care consistent with industry standards.
• Unless otherwise agreed, post-launch support, maintenance, or feature work is scoped and billed separately.
• I cannot guarantee uninterrupted, error-free operation of third-party platforms or APIs.

9) Limitations of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of profits or data, business interruption, or costs of substitute services. My total liability relating to an engagement will not exceed the fees paid for the specific services giving rise to the claim.

10) Portfolio Attribution

I may reference non-confidential project details in my portfolio (e.g., client name, logo, screenshots, a short case study). If you require a delay or restriction, please specify it in writing before the project begins.

11) Termination

• Either party may terminate with written notice if the other materially breaches these Terms.
• You are responsible for payment for work completed up to the termination date and any non-cancellable third-party costs incurred on your behalf.

12) Privacy

Your use of the site and my services is also subject to the Privacy Policy, which explains how I collect and use data.

13) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your and my place of business, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any disputes will be handled by competent courts with proper jurisdiction. We both agree to attempt good-faith resolution before formal proceedings.

14) Changes to these Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in services or applicable laws. Material changes will be indicated on this page with an updated “Effective” date.
