These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between Techfordge ("Company", "we", "us", "our") and the client or user ("Client", "you", "your") who engages our services or uses our website. By engaging Techfordge for development services, signing a service agreement, or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our services or website.
By engaging Techfordge for development services, executing a service agreement, or accessing our website, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Your acceptance may occur through:
If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms. In such case, "you" and "your" will refer to that entity.
Techfordge provides professional technology development and design services, including but not limited to:
Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and requirements will be detailed in individual project agreements, statements of work, or service proposals. All services are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement.
You are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and current information necessary for the performance of services. This includes business requirements, technical specifications, content, credentials, and any other materials required for project completion. You must promptly notify us of any changes to provided information that may affect the project.
You agree not to use our services for any unlawful or prohibited activities, including:
You are solely responsible for all content, materials, data, and information you provide to Techfordge. You warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all provided content and that such content does not infringe upon the rights of any third party. You agree to indemnify Techfordge against any claims arising from the content you provide.
Each party retains ownership of their respective pre-existing intellectual property. Techfordge retains ownership of its proprietary methodologies, tools, frameworks, code libraries, and general knowledge. Client retains ownership of their trademarks, business information, and content provided to Techfordge.
Upon full payment of all fees due under the applicable service agreement, Techfordge assigns to Client all rights, title, and interest in the custom work product specifically created for Client, excluding any pre-existing materials or general methodologies. This assignment includes custom code written specifically for the project, custom designs created for Client's exclusive use, and documentation created specifically for the project.
Client grants Techfordge a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use Client's name, logo, and project details for portfolio, marketing, and promotional purposes. This includes the right to display work samples on our website, marketing materials, and case studies. Client may request removal of specific materials from our portfolio at any time.
Projects may incorporate third-party software, libraries, or components subject to their own licensing terms. Client is responsible for compliance with all applicable third-party licenses. Techfordge will inform Client of any significant third-party dependencies and their licensing requirements.
Techfordge offers flexible pricing structures based on project requirements:
Unless otherwise specified in the project agreement:
Late payments are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Techfordge reserves the right to suspend work on overdue accounts and may require payment of outstanding balances before resuming services.
Refunds are available only for work not yet performed or delivered. Completed milestones and delivered work products are non-refundable. Any refund requests must be made in writing and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis considering work completed, resources expended, and project circumstances.
Changes to project scope, requirements, or deliverables must be requested in writing and are subject to Techfordge's approval. The change management process includes:
Scope changes may result in additional costs and timeline extensions. Work on change requests will not commence until written approval and any required additional payment is received. Verbal change requests are not binding and must be confirmed in writing.
Project timelines are estimates based on the agreed scope and Client's timely cooperation. Techfordge will make reasonable efforts to meet projected timelines, but time is not of the essence unless explicitly stated in the project agreement. Timelines may be adjusted due to scope changes, Client delays, or unforeseen technical challenges.
Delays caused by Client's failure to provide required materials, feedback, approvals, or access may result in timeline adjustments and additional costs. Client-caused delays include but are not limited to:
In the event of delays caused solely by Techfordge's failure to perform, Client's exclusive remedy shall be reasonable timeline adjustments. Techfordge is not liable for consequential damages resulting from project delays unless such liability is expressly agreed to in writing.
Both parties acknowledge that they may have access to confidential information during the course of the engagement. Confidential information includes business plans, technical specifications, customer data, source code, proprietary methodologies, and any information marked or identified as confidential.
Both parties agree to:
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is publicly available through no breach of this Agreement; (b) was known prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without use of confidential information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order.
Techfordge warrants that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. We warrant that deliverables will substantially conform to agreed specifications for a period of 90 days following delivery. Our sole obligation for breach of this warranty is to correct or re-perform non-conforming services at no additional cost to Client.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Techfordge's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by Client for the specific services giving rise to the claim. In no event shall Techfordge be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.
Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Techfordge, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason with 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, Client shall pay for all services rendered and expenses incurred up to the termination date. Techfordge will deliver all completed work products and documentation upon receipt of final payment.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ghana, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure due to force majeure, including natural disasters, strikes, or government actions.
Techfordge reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on this page.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
