Commission Terms

1. Commission Requests

Submitting a commission request does not guarantee that your project will be accepted.

I mainly accept small, clearly scoped programming requests. I do not accept full startup builds, complex infrastructure, large platforms, payment systems, or ongoing maintenance-heavy projects unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

I may accept or decline a request at my discretion, including if the project is outside my skill set, availability, or the services I offer.

Before accepting a commission, we will discuss the project’s requirements, expected functionality, estimated delivery time, and price.

2. Scope

The agreed scope defines what will be built. Only explicitly agreed features, deliverables, and work are included.

Extra features, major changes, redesigns, or new directions may require a new quote.

Suitable requests include small websites, landing pages, portfolio pages, small scripts, bug fixes, UI cleanup, bot features, README/GitHub setup, small automation tools, and code edits for existing projects.

Unsuitable requests include full SaaS platforms, large apps, complete startup builds, complex infrastructure, login/payment systems, crypto or gambling-related systems, malware, spam tools, account bots, private-data scraping, or vague requests like “build me an app like Discord”.

3. Quotes

Once the project requirements are sufficiently clear, I will provide a quote.

The quote will specify the agreed scope, price, and, where applicable, an estimated delivery time.

A quote only covers the features and work explicitly agreed upon. Additional features or significant changes requested afterward may require an additional payment or a new quote.

4. Payment

Payment arrangements are handled manually after a quote has been accepted. There is currently no automatic checkout on this website.

Depending on the size and nature of the project, I may require either full payment upfront or an initial deposit with the remaining balance due before final delivery.

Development will normally begin only after any required initial payment has been received.

The complete source code, unrestricted project files, repository ownership, or other final deliverables may be withheld until the full agreed amount has been paid.

5. Development

I will develop the project according to the requirements agreed upon before development begins.

Any delivery date or development duration provided is an estimate unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

If a significant delay occurs, I will inform you as soon as reasonably possible.

6. Changes and Revisions

Reasonable revisions to the agreed project may be requested during the review process.

Unless otherwise agreed, a commission includes up to two revision rounds.

A revision means an adjustment to functionality or design already included within the agreed scope.

Requests for substantial new functionality, redesigns, or other work outside the original scope are not considered revisions and may result in an additional quote.

7. Review and Approval

Before final delivery, you may be provided with a demonstration, preview, screenshots, video, hosted version, test build, or another reasonable method of reviewing the project.

You should use this review period to report issues or request included revisions.

Access to a preview does not grant ownership of or permission to copy, extract, redistribute, or otherwise obtain unreleased source code or project assets.

8. Delivery

After the project has been approved and all required payments have been received, the agreed deliverables will be provided.

Delivery may include source files, a downloadable archive, a Git repository, repository ownership transfer, deployment, or another method agreed upon for the project.

The exact deliverables depend on the individual commission.

9. Bugs and Support

Unless otherwise agreed, I will provide a 7-day bug-fix period beginning on the date of final delivery.

During this period, I will fix reproducible bugs that cause functionality included in the original agreed scope to not work as intended.

This does not include new features, changes in requirements, problems caused by modifications made by the client or third parties, external service changes, or issues outside my reasonable control.

Additional work after this period may require a new commission.

This support period does not affect any statutory rights that may apply.

10. Cancellations and Refunds

If a commission is cancelled before development begins, payments made for work that has not yet started may be refundable.

If development has already begun, any refund will depend on the amount of work already completed and any non-recoverable costs incurred for the project.

If I am unable to complete a commissioned project, I will communicate this and provide an appropriate refund for work that cannot be delivered.

Completed and delivered work is generally non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or where the delivered work materially fails to meet the agreed scope.

11. Ownership

Unless otherwise agreed, rights to the custom final deliverables created specifically for your project are transferred to you after full payment.

I retain ownership of pre-existing materials, general-purpose code, reusable components, libraries, development tools, templates, techniques, and other materials that were not created exclusively for your commission.

Projects may contain third-party software, libraries, fonts, assets, APIs, or other materials. These remain subject to their respective licenses and terms.

12. Portfolio Use

Unless confidentiality has been agreed upon beforehand, I may display non-sensitive portions of completed work in my portfolio or use them as examples of my development work.

I will not intentionally publish private credentials, personal information, confidential data, private source code, or other information that should reasonably remain confidential.

If you require the project to remain private, please communicate this before commissioning the project.

13. Client Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate project requirements and any materials, access, information, or feedback reasonably necessary to complete the project.

You must have the necessary rights or permission to provide any assets, code, branding, content, or other materials supplied for use in the project.

You may not commission work intended for unlawful, fraudulent, malicious, abusive, or otherwise prohibited purposes.

14. Third-Party Services

Some projects may depend on third-party platforms, APIs, hosting providers, libraries, payment providers, or other external services.

I am not responsible for outages, pricing changes, account restrictions, API changes, discontinued services, or other actions taken by third-party providers that are outside my control.

Any recurring third-party costs will be the client’s responsibility unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

15. No Automatic Acceptance

A submitted request, message, or form entry does not create a commission by itself.

A commission only starts once the scope, price, payment terms, and delivery expectations have been discussed and accepted.

16. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated for future commissions.

The terms applicable to an existing commission will generally be the version accepted when that commission was agreed upon, unless both parties agree to different terms.

17. Questions

If you have questions about these terms or how they apply to your project, please ask before accepting a quote or making a payment.
