TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT.
Clear boundaries, precise scope definitions, and honest engineering practices.
These terms govern the use of this website and establish the foundational principles governing commercial software engineering engagements with OFFSCRIPT Studio.
01.Website Use & Information Accuracy
This website is owned and operated by OFFSCRIPT Studio. All architectural diagrams, project descriptions, interactive visualizations, and technical case studies are published for informational and portfolio review purposes.
While we take rigorous measures to verify technical accuracy, software case studies reflect specific point-in-time architectures and commercial constraints. The content on this website does not constitute a unilateral binding contract or unconditional guarantee of identical results for future clients.
02.Services & Project Proposals
The capabilities outlined on our Services and Packages pages represent standard studio disciplines (Web Platforms, Intelligent Systems, Platform Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure).
Submitting an inquiry through our intake form or scheduling a 30-minute discovery consultation does not establish a formal agency-client relationship. A commercial engagement commences exclusively upon the mutual execution of a formal Master Services Agreement (MSA) or Statement of Work (SOW).
03.Scope, Deliverables & Technical Boundaries
Every software development, AI agent pipeline, or platform build is executed against a mutually agreed Statement of Work. Each SOW explicitly details:
- Concrete architectural deliverables, repository handoffs, and deployment targets.
- Acceptance criteria, test coverage targets, and verification procedures.
- Explicit exclusions (e.g. ongoing cloud infrastructure fees, third-party model inference costs, domain hosting renewals).
04.Pricing, Fees & Payment Milestones
OFFSCRIPT Studio does not publish speculative or fabricated pricing. Financial terms are negotiated transparently during technical discovery and finalized in your specific contract:
- Fixed-scope projects are typically structured around milestone payments (e.g., Discovery & Architecture deposit, Beta implementation, Final production deployment).
- Sprint-based engineering retainers are billed on agreed bi-weekly or monthly cycles.
- Third-party subscription costs (Vercel hosting, Supabase database, Resend email, OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini API credits) remain the direct responsibility of the client.
05.Revisions & Scope Adjustments
Engineering precision requires disciplined scope control. Each project includes agreed verification cycles to confirm deliverables match acceptance criteria.
Substantial architectural pivots, addition of unplanned third-party integrations, or material changes to verified specifications are handled through documented change requests (Change Orders) with adjusted timelines and fee schedules before implementation.
06.Client Responsibilities & Dependencies
Timely engineering execution relies on collaborative coordination. Clients are responsible for:
- Providing required brand assets, copy, API credentials, and staging environments according to agreed schedules.
- Designating a technical or product point of contact for sprint sign-offs and architectural alignment.
- Reviewing milestone deliverables within the review windows specified in the contract.
07.Intellectual Property Rights
Upon full settlement of all contractual invoices, all custom code, application architecture, proprietary database schemas, and creative assets engineered specifically for the client transfer to the client as "work made for hire" or via full IP assignment as detailed in the agreement.
OFFSCRIPT Studio retains rights to pre-existing libraries, general architectural patterns, open-source utilities, and foundational boilerplate used across studio operations, granting the client a perpetual, royalty-free license to use those components within their application.
08.Third-Party Services & Platform Dependencies
Modern software engineering interfaces with third-party cloud infrastructure (e.g., Supabase, Vercel, AWS, Stripe, Razorpay, LLM providers). While OFFSCRIPT builds with resilient fallback handling, we do not operate and cannot warrant the zero-downtime uptime or API availability of external third-party platforms.
09.Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, OFFSCRIPT Studio shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or business interruption arising from the use of this website or the deployment of custom software, beyond the amounts actually paid by the client under the governing agreement.
