Terms of Service

1. Use of Services

Services include freelance software development, web development, consulting, and related support for client projects. By using this website or engaging services, you agree to provide accurate information and use services only for lawful purposes.

2. Project Engagement and Payments

Project scope, timelines, pricing, and delivery terms are finalized through written communication (email, proposal, or contract). Payments, milestones, and revision terms are agreed on a project-by-project basis.

3. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, pre-existing tools, templates, and reusable code remain the intellectual property of Chandu Poloju. Upon full payment, clients receive rights to agreed deliverables created specifically for their project.

4. Limitation of Liability

Services are provided on a best-effort basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chandu Poloju is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including business interruption, loss of data, or loss of profits arising from use of this website or delivered services.

5. Third-Party Platforms

Some services may involve third-party platforms, APIs, or providers (such as hosting, payment, analytics, Meta, or WhatsApp tools). Their availability and performance are subject to their own terms and policies.

6. Domains, Accounts and App Store Listings Held on Your Behalf

For convenience, or at your request, a domain, hosting plan, app store listing, developer account, or third-party service account may be registered, published, or held under my name or under an account I control. This is an administrative convenience only. It does not make me the owner or operator of your product, business, or content.

Where any such asset is held on your behalf, you remain solely responsible for:

• all content, data, products, and services published, sold, or distributed through it, and the accuracy and legality of that content;
• the business operated through it, including customer relationships, orders, refunds, chargebacks, and disputes;
• compliance with all applicable laws and with the policies of the relevant platform, registrar, app store, or payment provider;
• all data collected from your end users, and any obligation you owe them under privacy or consumer protection law;
• all applicable taxes, government fees, platform fees, renewal charges, and any penalty arising from non-payment of them.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I am not liable for any claim, loss, penalty, fine, takedown, account suspension, or damage arising from your content, your business, or your use or operation of any asset held on your behalf. You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless against any such claim brought by a third party, including an end user, a platform, a rights holder, or a regulator, together with the reasonable cost of responding to or defending it.

Any such arrangement is intended to be temporary. On written request, and once all amounts due are paid, I will transfer the domain, listing, or account to your own account at your cost, subject to the transfer rules of the relevant platform. Some platforms restrict or delay transfers, and I am not responsible for a restriction imposed by the platform. Until a transfer completes, renewal is not automatic: you are responsible for funding renewals in advance, and I am not liable if an asset lapses, expires, or is suspended because renewal charges were not paid.

I may remove, unpublish, or decline to continue hosting any content that I reasonably believe is unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, or in breach of a platform policy, and may do so without prior notice where the platform requires it. Nothing in this section overrides the terms of the platform itself, which apply to the registered account holder in their own right.

7. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the appropriate courts in India.
