Last updated: June 1, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By engaging BuddyDevelopers ("we", "us", "our") for any service — including WordPress development, plugin development, consulting, or support — you ("Client") agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not proceed with our services.

2. Services

BuddyDevelopers provides WordPress development services including but not limited to:

  • Community website development (BuddyPress, BuddyBoss)
  • Directory website development (GeoDirectory)
  • WooCommerce and eCommerce development
  • Custom WordPress plugin and theme development
  • AI automation integrations
  • WordPress care and maintenance plans
  • On-demand development at $50/hr

The specific scope of each engagement is agreed upon before work begins, either via a written proposal, email confirmation, or project brief submitted through our website.

3. Payment Terms

Payment terms are as follows:

  • Project work: A deposit (typically 50%) is required before work commences. The balance is due on project completion before final delivery.
  • On-demand ($50/hr): Invoiced after completion of the work. Payment due within 7 days of invoice.
  • Maintenance plans: Billed monthly in advance. Plans auto-renew unless cancelled.
  • Plugin licences: Billed annually. Renewals are optional but required for continued updates and support.

We accept payment via PayPal, bank transfer, and other methods agreed upon in writing. Late payments may result in work being paused until the outstanding balance is cleared.

4. Project Timelines

Estimated timelines are provided in good faith based on the agreed scope. Delays caused by the client (late feedback, missing assets, scope changes) may extend the timeline. We will communicate any anticipated delays as early as possible.

5. Revisions & Scope Changes

Our proposals include a defined scope. Revisions within the agreed scope are included. Additional features or significant changes to the original brief will be scoped and quoted separately before work begins.

6. Client Responsibilities

The client agrees to:

  • Provide timely feedback, content, and assets required for the project
  • Ensure they have legal rights to any content, images, or code provided to us
  • Provide access to required systems (hosting, WordPress admin, etc.) when needed
  • Test and review deliverables within a reasonable timeframe

7. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, the client owns the custom code and designs created specifically for their project. BuddyDevelopers retains the right to use general techniques, methods, and concepts developed during the project.

Third-party plugins, themes, and software remain subject to their respective licences. We do not transfer third-party licences unless explicitly agreed.

8. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any sensitive business information shared during the engagement. We will not disclose client project details to third parties without written consent, except where required by law.

9. Warranties & Disclaimers

We warrant that our work will be delivered with reasonable skill and care. However, we cannot guarantee that any website will be free from all bugs, security vulnerabilities, or compatibility issues with every browser, device, or third-party plugin.

We are not responsible for issues arising from client-made changes after delivery, hosting environment problems, or conflicts caused by third-party plugins not included in the project scope.

10. Limitation of Liability

BuddyDevelopers' total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific service in question. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or lost-profit damages.

11. Refund Policy

Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If we are unable to complete the project, we will refund a pro-rated amount based on work completed. Disputes must be raised within 14 days of delivery.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate a project with 7 days written notice. The client will be invoiced for all work completed to date. Deposits are non-refundable upon client-initiated termination.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be resolved in the jurisdiction of Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India.
