1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing devkeytech.com or engaging DevKey Technologies (“DevKey”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) for any service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the website or our services. Where a separate signed agreement exists between you and DevKey, that agreement governs the engagement and these terms apply to anything not covered there.
2. Services description
DevKey provides custom software design and development services across web, mobile, desktop, AI, IoT, and related domains. The exact scope, deliverables, timeline, and acceptance criteria for any project are defined in a project-specific proposal, statement of work, or order form executed by both parties.
3. Engagement & quotes
Quotes and proposals are valid for thirty days from the date of issue unless stated otherwise. An engagement begins once the quote is accepted in writing (including email) and any required deposit has been received. Changes to scope, schedule, or deliverables after the engagement starts are handled through written change requests, which may affect price and timeline.
4. Payments
Unless agreed otherwise in writing:
- Invoices are payable within fourteen days of issue.
- Fees are quoted exclusive of taxes; applicable taxes are added at the prevailing rate.
- Bank fees and currency conversion costs are borne by the client.
- We may pause work or withhold deliverables on overdue accounts after written notice, without prejudice to other remedies.
5. Intellectual property
On full payment of all amounts due, the client owns the final, project-specific deliverables produced exclusively for that engagement — including custom source code, designs, content, and documentation written specifically for the project.
DevKey retains all rights in its general libraries, tools, frameworks, methodologies, internal utilities, and any pre-existing or independently developed materials, whether or not embedded in the deliverables. The client receives a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use such retained materials as part of the deliverables for their intended business purpose. Open-source components remain subject to their respective licences.
6. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep the other’s confidential information in strict confidence and to use it only for the purposes of the engagement. Confidential information does not include information that is publicly available, was already known, or is independently developed without reference to the other party’s information. These obligations survive termination of the engagement.
7. Warranty disclaimer
Our services are provided with reasonable skill and care. Beyond that, the website and any deliverables are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DevKey, its directors, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of or relating to your use of the website or our services. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any engagement is limited to the fees actually paid by the client to DevKey for the services giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the event.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach if the breach is not cured within fifteen days of written notice. The client may also terminate for convenience by paying for all work performed up to the termination date plus any non-cancellable third-party costs. On termination we will deliver completed work in its current state and work in good faith to facilitate a smooth handover. Sections that by their nature should survive — including payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, and limitation of liability — continue after termination.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or any engagement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
