1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing https://devpatternlabs.com or engaging Dev Pattern Labs for software engineering, web development, UI/UX design, or automation services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue use of our site and services.
2. Services & Scope of Work
Dev Pattern Labs provides digital solutions including Next.js web application development, custom WordPress solutions, performance optimization, workflow automation, and ongoing maintenance.
Specific deliverables, timelines, milestone schedules, and acceptance criteria are outlined in each individual Project Proposal, Statement of Work (SOW), or Sprint Agreement agreed upon prior to project kickoff.
3. Intellectual Property Rights & Ownership
We believe in full transparency and clear ownership for our clients:
- Client Deliverables: Upon receipt of full payment for the agreed project or sprint milestone, all custom code, graphics, layout designs, and intellectual property produced specifically for the client are 100% transferred and assigned to the client.
- Background & Open-Source IP: Dev Pattern Labs retains ownership over its preexisting proprietary boilerplates, development workflows, and standard code libraries. Any open-source components (e.g. React, Next.js, WordPress plugins under GPL/MIT) remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.
4. Payment Terms & Invoicing
- Sprints & Audits: Our rapid audit ($55) and sprint services ($555) are pre-scheduled, focused packages requiring full upfront payment upon booking to reserve engineer capacity.
- Custom Projects: Unless otherwise specified in a custom SOW, standard project terms require a 50% initial deposit prior to kickoff and the remaining 50% upon final staging approval before production launch or DNS cutover.
- Monthly Retainers & Care Plans: Billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis. Retainers may be cancelled with 30 days written notice.
5. Revisions & Scope Adjustments
Each development milestone includes up to two (2) consolidated rounds of feedback and revisions within the defined scope. Any requested modifications that exceed the initial project specification or require substantial architectural changes will be evaluated and quoted as a separate addendum or follow-on sprint.
6. Confidentiality & Data Security
Both parties agree to treat all non-public proprietary business data, trade secrets, login credentials, and project materials exchanged during the engagement with strict confidentiality. Dev Pattern Labs will never share your private code repositories or operational data with outside parties.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dev Pattern Labs shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services, unexpected third-party service outages (e.g., cloud hosting, domain registrars, payment gateways), or third-party software updates beyond our control.
8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to commercial software agreements. In the event of any disagreement, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith informal negotiations before pursuing legal proceedings.
