Last updated October 2026
[ terms ]
01Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our website (“the Website”), or by engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use the Website or our services. These Terms work alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information.
02About Us
uncertified is a digital studio providing professional design and development services — websites, desktop software, and interactive systems — to individuals, businesses, and organizations.
03Services and Engagements
We offer services including, but not limited to:
- Website design and development.
- Desktop and web software engineering.
- Interactive systems, prototypes, and tools.
- Design and creative direction.
Every project is governed by a proposal, quotation, contract, statement of work, or service agreement agreed before work begins. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the specific agreement, the specific agreement takes precedence.
04Orders and Payments
Prices and fees are stated in the applicable currency in the proposal or invoice. Payments must be made using the approved method.
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order if we believe fraudulent, unauthorized, or suspicious activity has occurred. Failure to complete payment may result in suspension or termination of services, and deliverables are released only against settled invoices.
05Service Delivery
Project timelines are estimates unless otherwise agreed in writing. Clients are responsible for providing all required content, assets, approvals, and feedback necessary to complete a project.
Delays in communication, content submission, approvals, or requested revisions may affect delivery timelines.
06Revisions and Modifications
Service-based projects include the number of revisions specified in the applicable proposal or agreement. Additional revisions, modifications, or scope changes beyond the agreed scope may incur additional fees, quoted before the work begins.
07Refunds and Cancellation
Refunds are subject to the terms in the applicable proposal, invoice, or agreement. If a client cancels after work has begun, fees due cover the work already performed.
Refund requests may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis where required by applicable law or where the work delivered does not match the agreed scope. Unauthorized chargebacks or payment disputes may result in suspension or termination of services.
08Intellectual Property and Ownership
On full payment of the agreed fees, we transfer to the client ownership of the specific deliverables produced for that project — the custom design, code, and files built for the engagement. We retain ownership of our underlying tools, libraries, components, frameworks, and processes, and remain free to reuse them so long as that reuse does not disclose the client’s confidential materials.
All intellectual property in the Website and in our own branding, marketing, and materials remains ours. Ownership of a deliverable is not transferred until the account is settled in full.
09Client Content
Clients retain ownership of content, trademarks, logos, images, and materials they provide. By submitting content to us, clients confirm they hold all necessary rights and permissions for its use, and agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims arising from content they supply.
10Third-Party Platforms and Services
Projects may integrate with third-party platforms and services — including hosting providers, payment processors, analytics, and software tools used to deliver the work. We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, pricing changes, account restrictions, or functionality changes imposed by third-party providers.
11Prohibited Use
You agree not to:
- Violate any applicable laws or regulations.
- Use our services for unlawful purposes.
- Copy or redistribute project materials except as the agreed scope intends.
- Circumvent payment, access, or security controls.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract proprietary code where prohibited by law.
12Disclaimer of Warranties
The Website and our services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every system, or error-free operation.
13Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from the use of our Website or services.
Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the relevant project or service.
14Indemnification
Clients agree to indemnify and hold harmless uncertified, its contractors, affiliates, and representatives from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from their use of the Website or services, content they supplied, or violation of these Terms.
15Termination
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate an engagement if these Terms or the applicable agreement are violated. Upon termination, the client pays for the work performed up to the termination date.
16Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated versions will be published on this page and become effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Website or our services after a change constitutes acceptance.
17Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
