Terms of Service

NepaliDev (“NepaliDev,” “the Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a website design and development studio organized and operating under the laws of the State of Ohio, United States. You can reach us at hello@nepalidev.com.

By visiting the Site, requesting a quote, or entering into a project with us, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract, and that you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or our Services.

We build custom marketing websites and related digital assets for small businesses. The Site itself is informational — it describes our Services, shows portfolio demos, and lets you contact us. Demo websites shown on the Site are illustrative samples; they are not offers to sell the goods or services depicted, and any third-party business names shown in demos remain the property of their respective owners.

• Project pricing is provided in a written quote or proposal. Quoted prices are valid for the period stated in the quote and are subject to the scope described there.
• Unless a quote states otherwise, the build itself is a one-time fee — there is no required subscription to the Studio to own and use your site. A deposit may be required before work begins, with the balance due on or before delivery.
• Maintenance and changes after launch are optional and billed hourly (see Section 6). Where we set up and operate a backend or hosting for you, continued operation of those Studio-managed services may be provided under a separate, agreed arrangement.
• Hosting and domain registration that are in your own accounts are billed directly to you by the relevant third-party provider (e.g., Cloudflare) at their cost — we do not mark these up or resell them.
• Invoiced amounts are due by the date stated on the invoice. Late or unpaid balances may pause work and delay delivery.

Each project’s deliverables, timeline, and number of included revisions are defined in its quote or proposal. Those revisions are design revisions during the build, before launch. Work requested beyond the agreed scope (additional pages, features, integrations, or revision rounds) may be quoted separately as additional work. We will not begin out-of-scope work without your approval.

• Included support. Each project includes a complimentary post-launch support period as stated in your package or quote (for example, the support window listed for your pricing tier). During that period we fix genuine defects in what we built and make minor content updates at no additional charge.
• After the included period. Maintenance, content updates, fixes, new features, and any other changes are optional. When you want our help, we do the work at our then-current hourly rate, estimated and agreed before we begin. There is no required monthly retainer — you hire us when you need us.
• Not the same as build revisions. Any “rounds of revisions” in your package refer to design revisions during the build, before launch (Section 5). They are separate from, and additional to, this post-launch support.
• Project completion. A project is complete once the agreed deliverables are delivered and approved (or deemed approved). At that point we have met our obligations and are not required to make further changes. Any later work — including after the included support period — is new work, performed at our discretion and subject to availability, billed hourly or by a separate quote.

• Provide accurate, lawful content (text, images, logos, and other materials) and confirm you have the rights to use anything you supply to us.
• Review drafts and provide timely feedback and approvals so the project can stay on schedule.
• Maintain your own accounts and credentials with third-party providers (hosting, domain, email, payment processors) that are registered in your name after handoff.

Our model in plain terms: you own your brand and your domain; we build and run the engine behind it.

• What you own. Your brand assets and the content you provide remain yours. Your domain name is registered to you (or transferred to you) — you own and control it. On full payment, the final front-end of the website we build specifically for you (its design and client-side code) is yours to keep.
• What we operate and hold. Many sites we build are powered by a backend we set up and run for you — server-side logic, databases, and third-party services (payments, email, data, hosting). The accounts, configuration, and API keys / credentials for those services are held and managed by us. Your site’s dynamic features (for example online ordering, bookings, or database-driven content) depend on this Studio-managed infrastructure and the keys we hold.
• If you move on. You always keep your brand, your content, and your domain, and you are free to take the front-end to another developer. Backend functionality that runs on our infrastructure and keys does not transfer automatically. We are glad to migrate it or hand over credentials under a separate, mutually agreed arrangement, which may be quoted separately. On request, we will provide an export of your own business data (for example, your orders or customer records) in a common format.
• Our toolkit. Our pre-existing frameworks, libraries, templates, and know-how remain ours; you receive a license to use them as part of your delivered site. Third-party components remain subject to their own licenses.
• Showcase. Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may feature the completed project and describe our work in our portfolio and marketing.

Our Services and the Site rely on third-party providers (for example, Cloudflare for hosting and email routing, and image providers for stock photography). We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

You agree not to misuse the Site — including attempting to disrupt it, access it without authorization, scrape it at scale, or use it to transmit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content.

The Site and 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 merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or guarantee any specific business result, search ranking, or amount of traffic.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NepaliDev will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site or a given project will not exceed the amount you paid us for that project (or, for use of the Site alone, US $100).

You agree to indemnify and hold NepaliDev harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content or materials you provide, your use of the deliverables after handoff, or your breach of these Terms.

Either party may end an engagement as described in the project’s quote or proposal. Fees for work performed up to the termination date remain payable. We may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time for conduct that violates these Terms.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the Site, or our Services are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the exclusive venue and jurisdiction for any such dispute lies in the state and federal courts located in Ohio, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version. Material changes take effect when posted to this page; your continued use of the Site after that constitutes acceptance.
