Delivery and commercial terms

Global pricing

Use the same USD plan rates in the USA, UAE, India, Australia, Europe and other markets. Any private discount requires a revised quote.

Billing

Monthly in advance. Proposed prices exclude applicable taxes. Tax treatment is determined for each invoice.

Kickoff

Start after scope agreement, payment, access and staffing confirmation. Do not promise same-day dedicated staffing before availability is confirmed.

Minimum term

Proposed initial 3-month engagement; optional shorter pilot by separate quote.

Working schedule

Agreed business hours and time-zone overlap. Dedicated allocations do not imply round-the-clock availability.

Shared role allocation

Book fractional capacity in advance. Small fractions are consultations or scoped tasks, and may be combined in one appropriately qualified person.

Backlog and priorities

Client and PM agree priorities. New requests replace or extend existing work according to the remaining capacity.

Parallel projects

Starter and Growth use one primary workstream. Larger plans support more tracks if staffing and dependencies permit. No plan promises unlimited projects.

Scope and milestones

Agree outcomes after discovery. Monthly team capacity does not guarantee completion of an unknown fixed scope.

Response and resolution

Priority describes queue order. Confirm contractual response hours and escalation rules separately. Resolution depends on severity and dependencies.

QA coverage

Agree browsers, devices, environments and test depth. Testing uses the QA allocation and development time where required.

Specialists

Architect, AI, DevOps, BA and design allocations are shared unless explicitly marked dedicated. Larger needs require reallocation or an add-on quote.

Third-party charges

Hosting, licenses, AI usage, SMS/email and subscriptions are separate. Prefer client-owned vendor accounts.

Changes and upgrades

Approve added capacity and fees before extra work begins. Avoid absorbing unpriced additional developers or specialists.

Code and access ownership

Use client-owned repositories and accounts where possible. Define IP transfer, third-party code and payment conditions in the agreement.

Unused allocation

Proposed rule: unused capacity expires at month-end unless a written carryover is agreed.

Pause and cancellation

Proposed 30-day notice after the minimum term. Specify handover, access removal and final payment in the agreement.

Enterprise configuration

The $25,000 model is an illustrative starting team. Final roles, allocations, support and scope determine the quote.
