Working terms
Scope and proposals
Work begins from a written proposal, statement of work, or other written agreement that describes the project scope, deliverables, assumptions, timeline, and fees. Changes to scope should be confirmed in writing before additional work begins.
Client responsibilities
The client is responsible for timely feedback, access to required systems, accurate project information, and decisions needed to keep the project moving. Delays in access or feedback may affect schedule and delivery.
Payment
Fees, deposits, milestones, and payment timing should be defined in the applicable proposal or invoice. Late payments may pause active work until the account is current.
Intellectual property
Unless a written agreement says otherwise, custom work created for the client is assigned to the client after full payment. Rezinaus may retain rights to pre-existing tools, reusable know-how, templates, libraries, and general techniques used to perform the work.
Confidentiality
Rezinaus will treat non-public client information as confidential and use it only to perform the agreed work. Clients should identify especially sensitive material before sharing it. Rezinaus will never share client information with third parties except to facilitate the objectives of the client.
Third-party services
Projects may rely on hosting providers, APIs, payment processors, analytics tools, AI providers, or other third-party services. Those services are governed by their own terms, pricing, limits, and availability.
Warranties
Rezinaus aims to deliver careful, professional work, but software can contain defects and third-party services can change. Any warranty, support period, or bug-fix obligation will be stated in the project agreement.
Limitation of liability
Any limits on liability, exclusions of damages, and maximum responsibility should be reviewed and finalized in the written agreement for the engagement.
Termination
Either party may end an engagement under the termination terms in the written agreement. The client remains responsible for approved work performed and non-cancelable costs incurred before termination.
Governing law
