Terms of Service.
The terms under which Devmint engages with clients. Engagement-specific terms live in the signed Statement of Work — this document covers the defaults.
1. Scope of these terms.
These terms apply to any engagement between Devmint Technologies (“Devmint”) and a client unless overridden by a signed Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement, or jurisdiction-specific addendum.
They cover four areas: how we scope and price work, intellectual property, confidentiality, and how either party can end an engagement.
2. Scoping and pricing.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call and a written proposal. The proposal specifies scope, timeline, deliverables, eval targets and a single fixed fee. We do not bill hourly or on time-and-materials unless explicitly stated.
- Payment — 50% on signing, 50% on delivery. Larger engagements are split into milestone payments.
- Change orders — scope changes are quoted in writing before any new work begins.
3. Intellectual property.
All work product transfers to the client on payment of the final invoice. The repository lives in the client's GitHub organisation from day one. There are no proprietary frameworks or licensing traps — the codebase is yours.
Devmint retains the right to reference the engagement in case studies and marketing, with details redacted as required by the engagement's NDA.
4. Confidentiality.
Mutual confidentiality applies to every engagement by default. Devmint also signs mutual NDAs, DPAs and HIPAA BAAs where applicable, on request.
5. Termination.
Either party can terminate an engagement with 30 days' written notice. On termination, Devmint hands over all work product completed to date and a runbook for what was shipped. No clawback, no termination fee.
6. Governing law.
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are resolved by arbitration in Chandigarh under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. EU and UK clients may elect their home jurisdiction in the engagement's SoW.
