Build terms

These terms apply to bespoke software builds commissioned from TeZe Ltd (“TeZe”, “we”, “us”) by you (“client”, “you”).

TeZe Ltd is registered in England and Wales, company number 17137231, registered office 66 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NA. VAT registration 517 9808 54.

Each engagement is scoped in writing before work starts. The scope document agreed between us defines what we will build, roughly when, and what is excluded.

If you want to add something during the build, we will agree it as a change in writing, including any impact on price or timeline. We will not invoice for work not agreed.

Builds are fixed price. The price is set in the scope document. Most builds land between £6,000 and £15,000, plus VAT at 20% where applicable.

Standard payment terms: 50% on signed scope, 50% on delivery. Both invoices payable within 14 days. Larger builds may be split into more milestones by agreement.

Late payment beyond 30 days may incur interest at the statutory rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

At delivery, you receive the working application, its complete source code, a copy of any deployment configuration, and documentation enough to run and maintain it. Hosting is your choice; we will help you set it up on day one.

You own the code we build for you. On full payment, all intellectual property in the deliverables is assigned to you, except as set out below.

We retain rights in: any pre-existing TeZe tooling, libraries, or frameworks we used to build your application (we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them as part of your application); and any general know-how we develop in the process.

Open-source components remain under their original licences. We will list any meaningful ones in the documentation at delivery.

If the build processes personal data and TeZe acts as a processor for you during the engagement, we will sign a standard Data Processing Agreement before any personal data is shared with us. After delivery and handover, you control your own application and we are no longer a processor.

We treat anything you share with us as confidential, except information that is already public, becomes public through no fault of ours, or which we are required to disclose by law. This obligation survives the end of the engagement.

We may mention the engagement (your name, sector, what we built at a high level) as part of our portfolio unless you ask us not to.

You may cancel the build at any time by notice in writing. If you cancel after the 50% deposit has been paid but before delivery, the deposit is non-refundable; any work done beyond what the deposit covers is invoiced at our standard day rate.

We may also cancel if you fail to provide essential cooperation (responses, content, decisions) for 30 consecutive days after a written request, or for non-payment of an overdue invoice beyond 30 days.

We warrant that the deliverables will materially conform to the agreed scope at delivery and for 30 days after. We will fix material defects reported in that window at no extra cost.

Beyond that, our total liability for any engagement is capped at the fees paid for that engagement. We exclude liability for indirect or consequential losses to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot be limited under English law.

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights you have as a consumer if these terms are used in a consumer context.

These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
