These Terms of Service govern your use of Code Ahead's website and the engagement of our digital consulting, web, software, AI, and infrastructure services. By working with us, you agree to these terms.
Services
Code Ahead provides digital consulting and engineering services, including web consulting, website and landing page development, web platforms, mobile applications, AI system integration, automation, DevOps, infrastructure management, and technical consulting. All project scopes, deliverables, timelines, and pricing are agreed upon in writing prior to work commencing. We do not begin development without a signed engagement agreement.
Intellectual Property
Upon full payment of all agreed fees, the client receives full ownership of the custom deliverables produced for their project. Depending on scope, this may include source code, documentation, design files, content structures, assets, and deployment configurations. Code Ahead retains the right to reference the project in its portfolio unless the client requests otherwise in writing. We do not use proprietary business logic or confidential client data in any other work.
Payment Terms
Payment schedules are defined in the project agreement. Typically, projects are structured with an upfront deposit (30–50%) and milestone-based payments. Fixed-price projects are invoiced upon milestone completion. Retainer and advisory work is invoiced monthly. Invoices are due within 14 days of issue. Late payments may result in work being paused. All prices are quoted in EUR and are exclusive of applicable taxes.
Confidentiality
We treat all client information as strictly confidential. We do not disclose project details, business logic, technical architecture, or any proprietary information to third parties without explicit written consent. All team members and contractors engaged on client projects are bound by non-disclosure agreements.
Warranties and Liability
We warrant that all work is performed with professional care and skill. For 30 days following project delivery, we will address defects in the delivered custom work at no additional cost, within the agreed scope. Code Ahead's liability is limited to the total fees paid for the specific project. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including loss of revenue, data, or business opportunity.
Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with 14 days written notice. Upon termination, the client pays for all work completed to date. Code Ahead delivers all completed work and documentation up to the termination date.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by Portuguese law. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Porto, Portugal.
