Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By engaging 1k Software ("we," "our," "us") for software development services, you ("client," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

2. Services

We provide custom software development services as described on our website and in individual project agreements. The scope of each project is defined during the scoping phase and documented in a project plan that both parties must approve before development begins.

Delivery timelines are estimates and may vary based on project complexity. We will communicate any expected delays promptly.

3. Payment

Our standard pricing is $1,000 per project, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment terms:

• 50% due upon project plan approval (before development begins)
• 50% due upon project delivery
• Payment is accepted via bank transfer, credit card, or other agreed methods
• All fees are non-refundable once development has commenced, except as required by law

4. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, all custom source code, designs, and documentation created specifically for your project are transferred to you. You receive full ownership and may use, modify, and distribute the code as you see fit.

We retain the right to use general-purpose code patterns, frameworks, and tools developed during your project in other projects. We may also reference the project in our portfolio unless you request otherwise in writing.

5. Warranty & Liability

We provide a 14-day bug fix guarantee following project delivery. During this period, we will fix any bugs or defects in the delivered software at no additional cost.

Our services are provided "as is" beyond the warranty period. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or delivered software. Our total liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific project.

6. Termination

Either party may terminate the project agreement with written notice. If the client terminates after development has begun, the initial 50% payment is non-refundable. If we terminate, we will refund any payments for undelivered work.

7. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and if necessary, through binding arbitration.
