Terms of Service

1. Scope of Services

Aakash Pradhan provides freelance web development, custom web application development, and consulting services specializing in ASP.NET Core, Blazor, WordPress, WooCommerce, and nopCommerce. The exact scope, deliverables, timeline, milestones, and fees for any specific client engagement are defined in an individualized Statement of Work (SOW) or written project agreement.

2. Proposals, Estimates & Scoping

Any estimates, proposals, or timelines provided via this website, email, or introductory consultations are indicative until formalized in a signed project proposal or agreement. Project timelines depend directly on timely feedback, asset delivery, and agreed milestone sign-offs from the client.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon full and final settlement of all milestone invoices for a completed project, full ownership of the bespoke custom code, database structures, and digital assets created specifically for the client transfers to the client. Pre-existing frameworks, open-source libraries (e.g. .NET Core, WordPress, Bootstrap), and standard utilities remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing necessary text copy, brand assets, imagery, API keys, hosting credentials, and third-party payment gateway merchant accounts required to execute the project scope in a timely manner.

5. Warranties & Post-Launch Support

Every project includes an agreed post-launch warranty period (typically 14 to 30 days depending on the project agreement) to address any technical bugs or deviations from the agreed scope. Ongoing website maintenance, security updates, server backups, or functional enhancements beyond the agreed scope are provided under separate maintenance retainers or hourly agreements.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aakash Pradhan shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from website downtime, third-party hosting outages, payment gateway policy shifts, search engine algorithm updates, or client-initiated modifications to the deployed code.
