1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Develoogy website at develoogy.com and any services provided by Develoogy ("we", "our", or "us"). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our website or services. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and continued use following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Our Services

Develoogy provides the following software and design services:

The specific scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each project will be agreed upon in writing prior to commencement of work, via a project proposal or service agreement.

  • Web Development
  • Mobile App Development
  • Web Design
  • UI/UX Design

3. Engagement and Payment

3.1 Project Agreement

All projects commence upon written agreement of scope, timeline, and pricing. Develoogy reserves the right to decline any project at its discretion.

3.2 Deposits

A deposit (typically 50% of the agreed project fee) is required before work begins. The exact deposit amount will be specified in the project proposal.

3.3 Payment Terms

Remaining balances are due upon project completion, prior to final delivery of files or handover of access credentials. Milestone-based payments may be structured for larger projects, as agreed in writing.

3.4 Late Payments

Invoices unpaid within 14 days of the due date may incur a late fee of 5% per month on the outstanding balance. Develoogy reserves the right to pause work on a project until outstanding payments are settled.

3.5 Refunds

Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If a project is cancelled by the client after work has begun, the client is liable for payment of work completed to the point of cancellation. Refunds for unused portions of any prepaid services are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

4. Client Responsibilities

To ensure timely and successful project delivery, clients agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and timely project briefs, content, and assets
  • Designate a primary point of contact for approvals and feedback
  • Respond to requests for feedback or approvals within 5 business days
  • Ensure that all materials provided to Develoogy (logos, images, text, etc.) are owned by the client or properly licensed for use
  • Not share login credentials or project access with unauthorised third parties

Delays caused by late client feedback or missing assets may result in revised project timelines, which will be communicated promptly.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Ownership Upon Full Payment

Upon receipt of full payment, the client is granted full ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for their project. This includes design files, source code, and related assets, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5.2 Third-Party Components

Some deliverables may incorporate third-party libraries, frameworks, fonts, or stock assets (e.g. React, Next.js, open-source plugins). These remain subject to their respective licences. Develoogy will notify the client of any material third-party components included in the project.

5.3 Portfolio Rights

Develoogy reserves the right to display completed work in our portfolio, on our website, and in promotional materials, unless the client requests confidentiality in writing prior to project commencement.

5.4 Develoogy's Pre-existing IP

Any tools, templates, frameworks, or processes developed by Develoogy prior to or independently of the client project remain the exclusive intellectual property of Develoogy.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any sensitive business information, trade secrets, or proprietary data shared during the course of the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the service agreement.

Develoogy will not disclose client project details, business plans, or confidential data to third parties without prior written consent, except where required by law.

7. Revisions and Change Requests

Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as specified in the project proposal. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope will be billed at Develoogy's standard hourly rate.

Significant changes to project scope, features, or design direction after work has commenced are considered change requests and may require a revised timeline and additional cost, to be agreed in writing.

8. Project Timelines

Estimated timelines are provided in good faith and are based on the information available at the time of proposal. Develoogy will communicate promptly if timelines need to be adjusted due to unforeseen circumstances or scope changes.

Develoogy is not liable for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to: late client feedback, third-party service outages, force majeure events, or changes in project scope.

9. Warranties and Disclaimer

Develoogy warrants that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care, and that deliverables will materially conform to the agreed specifications.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Develoogy makes no other warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, search engine rankings, or revenue results from our work.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Develoogy's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

Develoogy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, business, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate the service agreement with written notice. In the event of termination:

  • The client is liable for payment of all work completed up to the date of termination
  • Develoogy will deliver all completed work products upon receipt of payment for work done
  • Deposits and payments for completed milestones are non-refundable

Develoogy reserves the right to immediately terminate services if a client engages in abusive, unlawful, or fraudulent conduct.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ghana. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ghana.

For international clients, both parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes amicably through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal action.
