4. Delivery, review and approval
Delivery may happen in phases, including discovery, design, prototype, development, testing, launch and support. The Client must review deliverables within a reasonable time. If the Client uses, publishes, approves, pays for or does not reject a deliverable within the agreed review period, the deliverable may be treated as accepted.
Minor bugs reported after launch may be handled according to the agreed warranty, maintenance plan or support arrangement. New features, new pages, design changes, content replacement and third-party changes are additional work unless included.
5. Change requests
Any request outside the confirmed scope may affect price and timeline. Gatula Labs may require written approval and additional payment before starting extra work.
Examples include additional pages, new languages, new integrations, payment flows, API changes, extra design rounds, content rewriting, data imports, legal copy, server migrations, urgent fixes and new functionality.
6. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise agreed, the Client receives ownership or a usage licence to the final custom deliverables created specifically for the Client only after full payment has been received. Gatula Labs may retain ownership of reusable know-how, methods, internal tools, generic components, libraries, frameworks, templates and pre-existing materials.
Third-party software, fonts, images, plugins, APIs and platforms remain subject to their own licence terms.
7. Hosting, access and maintenance
Hosting, monitoring, backups, security updates, uptime checks, incident response and maintenance are included only where expressly agreed. If the Client or a third party changes the server, DNS, code, plugins, database, credentials or configuration, Gatula Labs is not responsible for resulting issues unless we agree to investigate or repair them as paid work.
No website, server, email system, API or online service can be guaranteed to be permanently available, error-free or immune from attack.
