Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client", "you") and Bitpalm Computer Systems & Communication Equipment Software Design LLC ("BitPalm", "we", "us", or "our") governing your use of our website and services.

By accessing our website, engaging our services, or entering into a project agreement with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our services.

Services Offered

BitPalm provides the following professional services:

  • Custom software development
  • Web and mobile application development
  • AI automation and integration
  • Cloud infrastructure setup and management
  • Technical consultancy and fractional CTO services
  • System architecture and design
  • Ongoing maintenance and support

Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and fees will be outlined in individual project agreements or statements of work ("SOW") executed between BitPalm and the Client.

Project Scope and Execution

Scope Definition

Each project will be governed by a detailed SOW that defines the scope, deliverables, timeline, milestones, and payment terms. Any work outside the agreed scope will be considered additional work and may incur additional fees.

Change Requests

Clients may request changes to the project scope. We will assess the impact on timeline and cost and provide a written change order for approval before proceeding with changes.

Development Methodology

We typically work in agile 2-week sprints, delivering incremental progress. Client feedback and approval at each milestone are required to proceed to the next phase.

Client Obligations

To ensure successful project completion, the Client agrees to:

  • Provide timely access to necessary information, data, systems, and personnel
  • Respond to requests for feedback and approvals within agreed timeframes
  • Designate a primary point of contact for the project
  • Provide accurate and complete requirements and specifications
  • Ensure payment according to the agreed schedule
  • Maintain confidentiality of any proprietary information shared by BitPalm

Delays caused by the Client's failure to fulfill these obligations may result in project timeline extensions and additional costs.

Payment Terms

Fees

Project fees will be specified in the SOW. Unless otherwise agreed, we typically operate on a milestone-based payment structure.

Payment Schedule

Standard payment structure (unless otherwise agreed in SOW):

  • Initial deposit: 30-50% upon project commencement
  • Milestone payments: As defined in SOW
  • Final payment: Upon project completion and delivery
Late Payments

Invoices are due within 14 days of issuance unless otherwise specified. Late payments may incur a fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum allowed by law. Work may be suspended if payments are overdue by more than 30 days.

Expenses

Unless included in the project fee, the Client will reimburse BitPalm for reasonable pre-approved expenses such as third-party licenses, cloud hosting costs, and specialist consultants.

Intellectual Property Rights

Sovereign Code Philosophy

In accordance with our "Sovereign Code" philosophy, upon full payment of all fees, BitPalm transfers 100% ownership of the custom-developed source code, documentation, and related intellectual property to the Client.

Pre-Existing IP

BitPalm retains ownership of any pre-existing code, frameworks, tools, libraries, and methodologies developed prior to or independently of the project. The Client receives a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use such pre-existing IP as incorporated into the delivered work.

Third-Party Components

Open-source and third-party libraries used in projects remain subject to their respective licenses. BitPalm will clearly document all such components.

Client Materials

The Client retains all rights to materials, content, data, and intellectual property provided to BitPalm for use in the project.

Warranties and Disclaimers

Quality Assurance

BitPalm warrants that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. We conduct thorough testing before delivery.

Warranty Period

We provide a 30-day warranty period from project delivery during which we will fix bugs and defects at no additional cost, provided they relate to the original scope and specifications.

Disclaimer

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, BITPALM PROVIDES SERVICES "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

No Guarantee of Results

While we strive for excellence, BitPalm does not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, or performance metrics unless explicitly stated in writing in the SOW.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BITPALM'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY PROJECT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY THE CLIENT FOR THE SPECIFIC PROJECT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BITPALM BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information disclosed during the course of the engagement. This obligation survives termination of the agreement for a period of 3 years.

Confidential information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms; (b) is rightfully received from a third party without confidentiality obligations; (c) is independently developed; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law.

Termination

Termination for Convenience

Either party may terminate a project with 30 days' written notice. The Client will pay for all work completed up to the termination date, plus any non-cancellable commitments.

Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate immediately if the other party: (a) materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within 15 days of written notice; (b) becomes insolvent or subject to bankruptcy proceedings; or (c) ceases business operations.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, BitPalm will deliver all completed work to the Client upon receipt of payment for services rendered. IP transfer occurs only upon full payment.

Indemnification

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BitPalm from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from: (a) Client's use of the delivered work; (b) Client's breach of these Terms; (c) content or data provided by the Client; or (d) violation of any third-party rights by Client materials.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith negotiations. If negotiations fail within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Dubai, UAE, in accordance with the rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Dubai, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any executed SOW, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Amendments

BitPalm reserves the right to modify these Terms. Material changes will be communicated to active clients. Continued use of services after changes constitutes acceptance.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Assignment

The Client may not assign these Terms without BitPalm's prior written consent. BitPalm may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
