3. Project Engagement

3.1 Project Agreement

Each project engagement will be governed by a separate project agreement or statement of work that outlines the project scope, deliverables, timeline, and payment terms. These project-specific documents form part of these Terms.

3.2 Client Responsibilities

As a client, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete project requirements
• Supply necessary content, assets, and information in a timely manner
• Provide timely feedback and approvals as required
• Designate authorized representatives for project communications
• Make payments according to the agreed schedule
• Ensure you have the rights to any materials provided to us

3.3 Timeline and Delivery

While we are known for rapid delivery (apps in as little as 1 week), actual timelines depend on project complexity and scope. Estimated delivery dates are provided in good faith but may be affected by factors including client delays in providing feedback or materials, scope changes, or unforeseen technical challenges.

4. Payment Terms

4.1 Fees and Payment

Project fees will be outlined in the project agreement. Unless otherwise specified, our standard payment terms include an advance payment before project commencement and milestone-based payments as defined in the agreement.

4.2 Late Payments

Late payments may result in project delays or suspension. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.

4.3 Refunds

Refund policies are determined on a project-by-project basis and will be specified in the project agreement. Generally, payments for completed work are non-refundable.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Client Materials

You retain ownership of all materials, content, and intellectual property you provide to us for the project. You grant us a license to use these materials solely for the purpose of completing the project.

5.2 Deliverables

Upon full payment, you will own the custom code, designs, and deliverables created specifically for your project, unless otherwise specified in the project agreement. Third-party components, open-source libraries, and pre-existing Gameocean tools or frameworks remain subject to their respective licenses.

5.3 Portfolio Rights

Unless you request otherwise in writing, we reserve the right to display completed projects in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, with appropriate confidentiality considerations.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information disclosed during the project engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the engagement. Specific confidentiality terms may be outlined in a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if required.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

7.1 Service Warranty

We warrant that our services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. We will provide a bug-fix warranty period as specified in the project agreement (typically 30-90 days after delivery).

7.2 Limitations

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GAMEOCEAN'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC PROJECT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Gameocean, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your use of our deliverables; (c) any materials you provide that infringe third-party rights; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws.

10. Termination

10.1 Termination by Client

You may terminate a project engagement by providing written notice. In such cases, you will be responsible for payment of all work completed up to the termination date, plus any non-cancellable commitments made on your behalf.

10.2 Termination by Gameocean

We may terminate or suspend services if you breach these Terms, fail to make timely payments, or if continuing the engagement would be impractical or unlawful. We will provide reasonable notice where possible.

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, we will deliver any completed work for which payment has been received. Provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and indemnification survive termination.

11. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through arbitration in Mumbai, India, in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The language of arbitration shall be English.

12.4 Severability
