Developer Client Agreement

This Developer Client Agreement ("Agreement") governs the professional services provided by Melvin Jones Repol / Repol Systems ("Developer", "we", "us", or "our") to the individual or organization purchasing development services ("Client").

By purchasing services, commissioning a project, or entering into a development engagement with the Developer, the Client agrees to the terms outlined in this Agreement.

1. Scope of Services

The Developer provides freelance software development services which may include:

• Website development
• Web application development
• Android application development
• Chrome extension development
• Software tools or automation scripts
• Website migration or redesign
• Technical consulting or development assistance
• Ongoing support or maintenance services

The exact scope of work will be defined in the project proposal, invoice, written communication, or service listing associated with the Client’s request.

2. Payment Terms

Development services may require partial or full payment before work begins. Payment terms may include:

• Upfront deposits
• Milestone-based payments
• Final delivery payments
• Hourly billing for consulting or development assistance
• Monthly retainer fees for ongoing support or maintenance

Failure to complete agreed payments may result in delay, suspension or termination of the project.

3. Long Milestones & Advance Payment

Some development milestones may involve complex engineering tasks, research, or extended implementation periods that may require several weeks or more than one month to complete.

In such cases, the Developer reserves the right to request an advance payment or partial milestone payment before the milestone is fully completed.

This advance payment helps ensure the Developer can continue dedicating time and resources to the project while maintaining normal living and operating expenses during long development periods.

Any advance payments requested will be reasonable and proportionate to the progress or complexity of the milestone and will be communicated to the Client in advance.

Work may be delayed or paused until the requested advance payment has been completed.

4. App Store and Platform Submission Responsibility

The Developer does not deploy Android APKs or other native applications using our own Google Play Store or Apple App Store developer accounts.

Clients are responsible for creating and managing their own developer accounts and submitting their applications to the respective platforms.

While we may provide guidance or assistance during the submission process, we are not responsible for managing the submission or for any issues, delays, or decisions that may occur during the review process conducted by the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

5. Legal & Compliance

The Developer is not responsible for any legal issues, including copyright infringement, intellectual property disputes, or violations of platform policies, that may arise from the content, design, or functionality of the applications or websites developed for the Client.

The Client remains solely responsible for ensuring that their application, website, or service complies with:

• Applicable laws and regulations
• Platform policies
• Copyright and intellectual property rules
• Required privacy policies and terms of service

The Developer may provide warnings or guidance regarding potential legal or policy concerns, but final responsibility remains with the Client.

The Developer is not responsible for any issues related to political content included in client applications or websites.

6. Project Ownership

Upon full payment, the Client receives ownership of the final project deliverables, including source code or deployed applications where applicable.

The Developer retains the right to reuse general programming techniques, non-proprietary components, frameworks, and development knowledge gained during the project.

7. Privacy of Client Projects

The Developer respects the privacy and confidentiality of Client projects.

Client projects will not be publicly displayed on the Developer’s portfolio, website, or social media without explicit permission from the Client.

However, the Developer may reference completed work in a private professional curriculum vitae (CV) or resume for employment verification purposes. These materials are not publicly available and may only be shared with companies or organizations during employment or professional evaluation processes.

8. Revisions and Modifications

Reasonable revisions may be included within the project scope. Major feature changes or additional development beyond the original scope may require additional fees or a revised agreement.

9. Limitation of Liability

The Developer provides services on an "as-is" basis and makes no guarantees regarding business outcomes, platform approvals, or performance results.

Under no circumstances shall the Developer be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including loss of profits, business interruptions, or platform rejection decisions.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the project agreement if necessary. Payments already made may not be refundable if work has already been performed.

11. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Philippines.
