Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 June 2026

These terms govern the services provided by Codalith, a software studio operated by Urban Bazaari, a sole proprietorship registered in India ("we", "us", "Codalith"). By engaging us, booking a call to start a project, or accepting a quote, you ("the client", "you") agree to these terms.

1. What we do

We design and build custom software, including web apps, mobile apps, and AI automation. The exact work for each engagement is described in a written scope or quote that we agree with you before starting.

2. Quotes and scope

Each project is defined by a written scope and a fixed price. Anything not listed in that scope is out of scope. If you want to add or change something, we will agree it as a written change request, with any effect on price and timeline, before we do the extra work.

3. Fees and payment

• Projects are quoted at a fixed price unless we agree otherwise in writing.
• A deposit of 40% is payable before work begins. The balance is payable as set out in the quote, often at agreed milestones or on delivery.
• Invoices are payable within 14 days. We may pause work on overdue invoices.
• Prices are exclusive of taxes. GST or other taxes are added where they apply.
• Payments are taken through Razorpay, Stripe, Wise, or bank transfer.

4. How we deliver

Our services and any software are delivered digitally, by handover of code, access, or deployment. No physical goods are shipped. Timelines we give are good-faith estimates and depend on you providing the access, content, and feedback we need on time.

5. Your responsibilities

To deliver well, we need you to give us timely access, accurate information, and prompt feedback and approvals. Delays on your side may move the timeline. You confirm that anything you give us to use (content, data, accounts) is yours to share.

6. Acceptance

We test the work against the success criteria agreed in the scope. When it meets those criteria, the work is accepted. Small issues found after acceptance are handled under any agreed warranty or Care Plan.

7. Intellectual property

Once you have paid in full, you own the custom work product we built specifically for you. We keep ownership of our own pre-existing tools, libraries, and know-how, and grant you a licence to use them as part of your delivered software. Unless you ask us not to, we may mention and show the work in our portfolio. We will always respect a signed NDA.

8. Confidentiality

We keep your confidential information private and use it only to deliver your project. We are happy to sign a mutual NDA before we discuss specifics.

9. Warranty and disclaimer

We provide our services with reasonable skill and care. Beyond any warranty period or Care Plan we agree in writing, software is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant that it will be error-free or that it will produce a specific business result.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim connected to an engagement is limited to the fees you paid us for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profit, lost data, or lost business.

11. Termination

Either of us may end an engagement with written notice. If you end it, you pay for the work done up to that point. We may end it if invoices stay unpaid or if we cannot continue for reasons outside our control. Sections that by their nature should survive (payment, IP, confidentiality, liability) continue after termination.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute is subject to the courts of Delhi, India. We will always try to resolve any issue with you directly and in good faith first.
