Master Services Agreement & Terms of Service

1. Parties & Regulatory Preamble

These Terms of Service (the "Agreement") constitute a legally binding commercial agreement between Pravariq Studio (a division of the Pravariq Group, directed and operated by Sameer Chaturvedi from Sitapura Industrial Area, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302022, India, hereinafter referred to as "Studio", "We", "Us", or "Our") and the commercial entity or individual retaining our services (hereinafter "Client", "You", or "Your").

By commissioning an engineering sprint, approving a written proposal or Statement of Work (SOW), or remitting any funds into our designated banking coordinates, Client irrevocably accepts and agrees to be bound by all terms, conditions, disclaimers, and covenants set forth herein.

2. Scope of Engineering & Deliverables

The Studio handcrafts custom web software, full-stack React 19 / Next.js web applications, modern PHP 8 architectures, static site generation, and performance optimization as explicitly outlined in Client's individual Statement of Work or formal invoice. Any feature, functionality, dynamic integration, or design revision not expressly detailed in the written SOW shall be deemed out-of-scope and billable at our prevailing hourly consulting rate ($65 / £50 / ₹4,500 per engineer-hour).

3. Remittance, Pricing & Foreign Exchange Compliance (RBI / FEMA)

4. Intellectual Property Rights & Work-for-Hire

Conditional Transfer: Notwithstanding Section 17 of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, or international "work made for hire" doctrines, full legal and equitable ownership of the bespoke source code, visual design layout, and customized markup engineered specifically for Client shall transfer to Client strictly and solely upon 100% receipt of cleared and unencumbered funds in our designated Indian bank account.

Prior to full settlement, all preliminary builds, staging repositories, architectures, and intellectual assets remain the exclusive property of Pravariq Studio. The Studio retains an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use proprietary development frameworks, utility snippets, generic boilerplate code, and background developer tooling across other projects.

5. Acceptance Testing, Approvals & Deemed Acceptance

Upon deployment to staging or delivery of the preview milestone, Client shall have a period of seven (7) calendar days ("Acceptance Period") to inspect and test the deliverables against agreed specifications. Client must notify the Studio in writing of any verifiable material defects. If Client fails to provide written rejection or defects within the Acceptance Period, or places the website into commercial production, the deliverables shall be deemed irrevocably accepted.

6. 30-Day Post-Launch Warranty & Maintenance

The Studio provides a thirty (30) calendar-day warranty period following production launch, during which any verifiable coding bugs or functional defects directly attributable to our code will be remedied at zero additional charge. This warranty does not cover: (a) defects resulting from unauthorized alterations made by Client or third parties; (b) updates to external third-party APIs (e.g. Google Maps, payment gateways, reservation widgets); or (c) server failures caused by Client's hosting provider.

7. Performance & Core Web Vitals Disclaimers

While the Studio guarantees sub-second Time to First Byte (TTFB) and high PageSpeed scores under controlled laboratory testing environments on our standard hosting stacks, real-world field metrics are inherently variable. Client acknowledges that third-party analytics trackers, unoptimized video embeds, tag managers, marketing tracking pixels, and client-installed external plugins inject third-party execution latency beyond the Studio's legal control.

8. Portfolio Attribution Rights

Client grants the Studio a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to display screenshots, URLs, performance case studies, and descriptive summaries of the delivered work in our professional portfolio, marketing materials, and digital showcases (including studio.pravariq.in and sister Pravariq Group platforms), unless otherwise agreed in a separate formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

9. Limitation of Liability & Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Pravariq Studio, Pravariq Group, or Sameer Chaturvedi be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or server downtime. The Studio's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be strictly capped at the aggregate amount actually paid by Client to the Studio under the specific Statement of Work in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

10. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Republic of India, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith executive conciliation. Any unresolved legal proceeding shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
