Terms of Service & Code Ownership Guarantee
Transparent working agreements that guarantee your 100% source code ownership, clarify milestone payments, and protect mutual collaboration from day one.
100% Code Ownership
Upon final milestone payment, all source code, designs, and assets belong entirely to you.
Milestone Payments
Fair 3-stage payment model (50% start, 30% preview approval, 20% final launch).
30-Day Free Warranty
Complimentary bug fixes and technical support for 30 days following your public launch.
Zero Vendor Lock-in
No mandatory maintenance contracts. Host anywhere you want with full freedom.
The Core Guarantee: 100% Source Code & IP Ownership
Many traditional digital agencies operate on an unfair trap: they withhold your source code, refuse to give you root administrative access, or charge thousands of dollars in "exit fees" if you want to switch developers.
At MS Webcraft, our stance is absolute: you pay for the code, you own the code. Upon receipt of the final milestone payment, all bespoke source code, UI components, database schemas, vector assets, and deployment keys are transferred to you with complete, unconditional ownership. You are free to host it anywhere, modify it, or bring in an in-house engineering team at any time.
Project Scope & Deliverables
Before writing a single line of production code, we provide a written Project Scope outlining pages, functional features, third-party integrations, and target timeline.
- Included in Scope: Custom responsive frontend engineering, backend API development, database architecture, SEO schema setup, performance optimization (aiming for 90+ Core Web Vitals), and production deployment.
- Out of Scope / Feature Additions: If your team discovers exciting new features mid-project (such as adding complex multi-vendor marketplaces or custom AI workflows not in the initial brief), we discuss the timeline and quote a fair, upfront fee before starting that work. No surprise invoices, ever.
Fair 3-Stage Milestone Payment Schedule
We never demand 100% payment upfront. Our standard projects operate on a secure, balanced 3-stage milestone structure:
Secures dedicated engineering sprint bandwidth, repository setup, database modeling, and initial architecture kickoff.
Due when the full interactive website is deployed to our private staging server for your end-to-end review and testing.
Due upon final acceptance, prior to pointing your live production domain and transferring full root access keys.
Accepted payment channels: UPI, NEFT, IMPS, Stripe, Wise, and International Bank Wire (USD, EUR, GBP, INR). Official commercial invoices provided.
Complimentary 30-Day Post-Launch Warranty
Launching your new digital platform shouldn't feel stressful. Every custom website and software build delivered by MS Webcraft includes an unconditional 30-day post-launch warranty:
- Any unforeseen software bugs or broken functionality are fixed at zero cost.
- Cross-browser rendering quirks (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge) are promptly patched.
- Responsive mobile alignment issues on any phone or tablet form-factor are resolved immediately.
No Forced Retainers & Zero Compulsory AMC Traps
We never force clients into recurring monthly maintenance contracts (AMC). Once your website is launched, it is 100% self-sufficient with zero required recurring fees from us.
If you prefer ongoing peace of mind (server monitoring, automated database backups, security dependency updates, and monthly performance reviews), we offer completely optional monthly maintenance at ₹1,000 / month ($20 / mo), which you can cancel anytime with zero cancellation fees.
Client Collaboration & Timelines
Great software is built on mutual collaboration. To keep development on schedule:
- Clients are asked to provide logos, product imagery, copy, and required third-party API keys (e.g., payment gateway, SMS gateway, WhatsApp API) in a timely manner.
- Feedback during review rounds should be consolidated so we can implement iterations smoothly and meet launch targets without delays.
Fair Cancellation & Refund Policy
If business priorities shift unexpectedly:
- If a project is cancelled before development kickoff begins, unspent deposit funds are refunded immediately.
- If cancelled during development, you are only billed for the milestones completed up to that point. All work, Figma mockups, and compiled code created to that date are handed over to you immediately.
