Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 8, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before engaging StarTech Studio for any project or service. By using our website or hiring us, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Services
StarTech Studio ("we", "us", "our") provides digital services including but not limited to web development, mobile app development, UI/UX design, branding and identity design, digital marketing, SEO optimization, pitch deck design, and business consulting.
The scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost of each project are defined in a separate proposal or agreement mutually discussed and agreed upon before work begins. Any changes to the project scope may result in adjustments to the timeline and fees as mutually agreed.
2. Client Obligations
By engaging our services, you agree to:
• Provide accurate and complete information necessary for the successful completion of the project.
• Respond to requests for approvals, feedback, and content within reasonable timeframes. Delays in client response may affect project timelines.
• Ensure that all content, materials, and assets you provide to us do not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.
• Make payments in accordance with the mutually agreed-upon payment schedule as discussed before project commencement.
3. Payment Terms
All payment terms — including amounts, milestones, currency, and schedule — are mutually discussed and agreed upon between both parties before the project begins, and are documented in the respective project proposal or agreement.
• Payment structure, advance requirements, and milestone-based payments will be as per the terms discussed and agreed upon for each individual project.
• The currency for invoicing will be as mutually agreed based on the client's location and preference.
• In case of delayed payments beyond the agreed schedule, we reserve the right to pause or suspend work until outstanding payments are settled, as per the terms of the project agreement.
• Any additional costs arising from scope changes or additional work will be communicated and agreed upon before proceeding.
4. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full payment as per the agreed terms, all custom work created specifically for your project — including designs, code, and content — shall be transferred to you. You will own the final deliverables.
We retain the right to showcase completed projects in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials unless a separate non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is in place.
Any pre-existing intellectual property, frameworks, libraries, or tools used in the project remain the property of their respective owners. We may use open-source tools and third-party services in the development of your project.
You may not resell, redistribute, or sublicense our work as a template, theme, or product without prior written consent.
5. Revisions & Modifications
Each project includes revision rounds as outlined and agreed upon in the project proposal. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope will be discussed and billed separately as mutually agreed.
Major changes to the project scope, design direction, or functionality after approval will be treated as new work and quoted separately upon mutual discussion.
We recommend consolidating feedback to ensure efficient use of revision rounds.
6. Project Timeline & Delivery
Estimated timelines are discussed and agreed upon in the project proposal. These are based on timely client cooperation, feedback, and fulfillment of obligations.
We are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete client inputs, third-party service outages, or force majeure events (including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, or governmental actions).
We will communicate proactively about any expected delays from our end and work to minimize their impact.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information shared during the course of the project. This includes business strategies, technical specifications, pricing, and any other information marked as confidential.
This obligation survives the termination of the engagement for a reasonable period as per applicable laws and mutual agreement.
8. Limitation of Liability
StarTech Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.
Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific project in question.
We are not responsible for any downtime, data loss, or security breaches arising from third-party hosting, software, or services that we do not directly control.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate the engagement by providing written notice as per the terms agreed upon in the project agreement. In the event of termination:
• You will be billed for all work completed up to the date of termination.
• Refund of any advance payments for uncompleted work will be handled as per the terms discussed in the project agreement.
• All deliverables completed up to the termination date will be handed over upon receipt of outstanding payments.
• We reserve the right to terminate a project immediately if the client engages in unlawful, abusive, or unethical behavior.
10. Warranties & Disclaimers
We warrant that our services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards.
However, we do not guarantee specific results such as search engine rankings, sales conversions, or traffic increases, as these depend on many factors beyond our control.
Our website and services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws based on the jurisdiction mutually agreed upon between both parties.
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached, the dispute shall be subject to the jurisdiction as mutually agreed or as specified in the project agreement.
12. International Clients
StarTech Studio works with clients globally. For international engagements, all terms including payment currency, applicable taxes, governing jurisdiction, and communication protocols will be discussed and mutually agreed upon before project commencement.
We respect and comply with applicable data protection and business regulations relevant to the client's jurisdiction.
13. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our services after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
