Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 July 2026

In short: DeveloperSpace clients own the custom work delivered to them outright once it is paid for, including code, data and hosting environment. Software products are provided on a subscription where the client's data remains theirs and exportable at any time.

1. Who these terms apply to

These terms govern use of the DeveloperSpace website, our services and our software products. Where we sign a separate statement of work or Data Processing Agreement, that document takes precedence.

2. Services

Every project is defined in a written proposal setting out deliverables, price and timeline. Work outside that scope is quoted separately. We do not change agreed prices mid-project without your written approval. On delivery you have 14 days to report anything not meeting the agreed scope, which we fix at no charge.

3. Ownership and intellectual property

  • You own the deliverables. On full payment, all rights in the custom code, designs and configuration transfer to you, together with the repository, data and hosting environment.
  • No lock-in. We retain no licence-back and do not hold your domain or hosting. You may move the work to any provider at any time.
  • Pre-existing material. Generic tools and internal boilerplate remain ours; you receive a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use them as part of your deliverable.
  • Portfolio rights. We may show the work publicly unless you ask us in writing not to.

4. Software products

Products are hosted software on a subscription. You hold a non-exclusive right to use them while subscribed. Your data remains yours and is exportable at any time. Cancel whenever you like; access runs to the end of the paid period. If we retire a product we give at least 90 days' notice and a full export.

5. Payment

Projects are typically 50% on commencement and 50% on delivery, payable within 14 days. Prices exclude VAT and GST. Ownership transfers on full payment.

6. Warranties and liability

We perform services with reasonable skill and care, and warrant deliverables against defects for 90 days after acceptance. We do not warrant any specific commercial result, including search rankings or revenue. Total aggregate liability is limited to the fees paid in the preceding 12 months.

7. Termination

Either side may end an ongoing engagement with 30 days' written notice. On termination you pay for work completed and we hand over everything you have paid for.
