Standard Web Development Agreement

Payment. A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total project price is due before any work begins. The remaining 50% is due upon delivery of the completed project, prior to transfer of source code or deployment credentials. Invoices are due within 7 calendar days of receipt. Overdue balances accrue a late fee of 1.5% per month. Nekurai reserves the right to pause work on any project with an overdue balance.

Scope. This agreement covers only the work described in the Project Details section above. Any additions, changes to functionality, or new sections requested after the project scope has been agreed to will be quoted and billed separately at the applicable hourly rate. Changing colors, copy, or layout within the defined scope is considered a revision, not a scope change.

Revisions. This project includes two (2) rounds of revisions within the agreed scope. A revision round consists of one consolidated batch of feedback submitted at once. Additional revision rounds beyond those included are billed at the standard hourly rate. Revision requests must be submitted within 14 days of receiving the demo; silence beyond 14 days constitutes approval.

Acceptance. The Client has 7 calendar days from delivery notification to review the completed work and report any defects. Approval — or silence beyond 7 days — constitutes acceptance of the delivered work. Acceptance triggers the final payment obligation regardless of whether the invoice has been paid.

Warranty. Nekurai warrants the delivered work against defects caused by Nekurai's own code for 30 days from the date of acceptance. This warranty does not cover: (a) issues caused by the Client modifying the code; (b) hosting provider outages or changes; (c) third-party service failures; (d) browser or platform updates; or (e) changes requested by the Client after acceptance. Post-warranty support is billed at the standard hourly rate.

Intellectual Property. Upon receipt of final payment in full, the Client receives full ownership of all custom designs, content, and code specific to this project. Nekurai retains ownership of reusable components, internal frameworks, and template code that may be used across multiple projects — these form the underlying infrastructure, not the deliverable. The Client may not resell, license, or sublicense Nekurai's reusable components to third parties. “Site by Nekurai” footer attribution is included by default; removal requires a written agreement.

Hosting. Nekurai does not provide ongoing hosting services. Nekurai will assist with initial deployment to the Client's own hosting account (Vercel, Netlify, or equivalent). All ongoing hosting costs are the Client's sole responsibility. Nekurai is not liable for hosting outages, service interruptions, or billing issues with third-party hosting providers.

Limitation of Liability. Nekurai's total liability to the Client under this agreement — for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of action — shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for this project. Nekurai is not liable for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from this agreement or the use of the delivered work.

Client Content. The Client is solely responsible for providing accurate, lawful, and non-infringing content (text, images, logos, etc.) for use in the project. Nekurai is not liable for any claims arising from Client-supplied content.

Termination. Either party may terminate this agreement with written notice. If the Client terminates after work has begun, the deposit is non-refundable and the Client owes for all work completed up to the termination date at the applicable hourly rate, deducted against or added to the deposit amount as applicable. If Nekurai terminates without cause, a pro-rated refund of the deposit will be issued for work not yet performed.

Portfolio. Nekurai reserves the right to display the completed project in its portfolio and to reference the Client's name as a past client, unless the Client requests otherwise in writing.

Governing Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Any disputes not resolved informally shall be subject to binding arbitration or, if arbitration is waived by both parties in writing, the jurisdiction of the courts of Denton County, Texas.
