Terms & Conditions for Engineering Services

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between TAS Creations ("the Agency", "we", "us"), registered as an MSME under the Government of India (UDYAM-TN-02-0198421) headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and the client ("Client", "you", "Partner") engaging TAS Creations for website design, custom software engineering, ERP/CRM development, SEO, or digital solutions.

By executing a project statement of work, paying a retainer deposit, or using our websites, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms.

All engineering engagements begin with an Architectural Discovery Blueprint or formal Statement of Work (SOW) detailing:

• Concrete deliverables, technical tech stack (Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, etc.), and architecture diagram.
• Sprint milestones, design review gates, and agreed production launch deadlines.
• Any change requests outside the signed SOW will be scoped as independent milestone amendments to ensure project velocity and budget predictability.

Engagements are structured on milestone-based disbursements ensuring mutual alignment and velocity:

• Standard Disbursement Structure: 40% initial architectural retainer deposit, 30% upon frontend UI/UX and staging database approval, and 30% prior to final DNS migration, production deployment, and Git repository handover.
• India Edition (INR ₹): Invoices are issued with 18% GST (SAC code 998314) and MSME compliance documentation.
• United States & International Edition (USD $): Invoices are billed in USD via Stripe or international SWIFT wire transfers.
• United Arab Emirates Edition (AED): Invoices comply with FTA 5% VAT rules and GCC payment structures.

Invoices must be settled within 7 business days of milestone completion to maintain sprint continuity.

TAS Creations strictly guarantees 100% Unencumbered Source Code Ownership:

• Upon receipt of final milestone settlement, all custom frontend components, backend APIs, relational database schemas, and proprietary business logic belong entirely and exclusively to the Client.
• TAS Creations transfers complete administrative rights to the Git repository, cloud servers (AWS, Vercel, VPS), database credentials, and deployment webhooks.
• We retain zero proprietary lock-in, zero ongoing license royalties, and zero restrictive code obfuscation.

Every digital product built by TAS Creations undergoes rigorous automated and manual testing (OWASP Top 10 security audit, cross-browser compatibility, mobile responsiveness, Lighthouse 90+ speed audit):

• 30-Day Post-Launch Warranty: Following production launch, TAS Creations provides a complimentary 30-day warranty window during which any technical defects or software bugs directly attributable to original scope are rectified promptly at zero cost.
• Ongoing Maintenance: Clients may optionally enroll in our monthly maintenance and SLA support agreements for continuous cloud monitoring, security patches, database backups, and feature enhancements.

TAS Creations operates with the utmost discretion and enterprise confidentiality:

• Both parties agree to treat all business data, customer records, database models, and intellectual assets as strictly confidential.
• Unless explicitly requested otherwise in writing via an exclusive NDA, TAS Creations reserves the customary right to cite public case studies, performance metrics, and screenshots in our verified engineering portfolio.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• TAS Creations shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from third-party server outages (AWS, Cloudflare, payment gateway downtimes), third-party API deprecations, or unauthorized credential breaches on client-managed infrastructure.
• Our aggregate financial liability under any circumstance shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to TAS Creations under the specific Statement of Work in dispute.
• Neither party shall be held liable for delivery delays caused by Force Majeure events, including natural disasters, governmental regulations, or widespread telecommunication grid failures.

These Terms and all commercial agreements entered into with TAS Creations shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India:
