Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of appstus.com and describe general principles that apply when you engage Appstus for custom mobile app development and related digital product services. Project-specific written agreements take priority where they conflict with these general Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing appstus.com or requesting services from Appstus, you agree to these Terms. If you are acting on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
If you do not agree, do not use the website or request services.
2. Website use
appstus.com provides information about Appstus, our services, and how to contact us. Content on the website is for general informational purposes and may change as offerings evolve.
You agree not to misuse the website, including by attempting to disrupt its operation, probe or breach security, scrape content in an abusive way, impersonate others, or use the site for unlawful purposes.
We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time.
3. Services
Appstus provides custom mobile application and digital product development services. Depending on the engagement, work may include discovery, product and UI/UX design, engineering for platforms such as iOS, Android, Flutter, or React Native, API and third-party integrations, quality assurance, maintenance, and related product engineering support.
Appstus builds different kinds of mobile applications and digital products across industries and use cases. Marketing examples on the website (including operational or workflow-focused products) illustrate capabilities and do not limit the types of projects we may undertake.
Exact deliverables, platforms, timelines, and commercial terms are defined in the applicable proposal, quotation, Statement of Work, service agreement, or other mutually agreed written terms for each engagement.
4. Project engagements and precedence
Custom development work is typically confirmed through written materials such as a proposal, quotation, Statement of Work, service agreement, maintenance agreement, or email confirmation of agreed scope and commercial terms.
If project-specific written terms conflict with these website Terms, the project-specific written terms control for that engagement to the extent of the conflict. These website Terms continue to apply to use of the website and to matters not covered by the project documents.
Informal discussions, exploratory calls, and early estimates do not by themselves create a binding obligation to perform work or reserve capacity until the parties confirm the engagement in writing and any required initial payment or other start condition is met, as applicable.
5. Scope, feedback, and changes
The scope of work is defined in the applicable project documents. Timely client feedback, approvals, access, and materials are essential to keeping work on track.
Delays caused by late feedback, missing access, incomplete requirements, or other client-side dependencies may affect timelines and may require schedule adjustments.
Requests that expand, alter, or add to the agreed scope are change requests. Material changes may require revised pricing, timelines, or both before additional work proceeds. Revision rounds included in a proposal, if any, are those expressly stated in the project documents; work beyond that is additional work.
6. Client responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate requirements, timely decisions, necessary accounts and credentials, brand assets, content, and access to systems or third-party services needed for the project.
Clients are also responsible for ensuring they have the rights to materials they supply and for complying with laws applicable to their product, including app store policies, privacy obligations for their end users, and industry-specific rules that apply to their business.
7. Fees and payments
Pricing, payment schedules, deposits or advance payments, milestone billing, and final payment terms are established in the applicable proposal or agreement for each engagement. Not every project uses the same commercial model.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are due according to the payment terms stated on the invoice or in the project documents. Work may be paused if required payments are overdue.
Third-party costs (such as paid APIs, cloud hosting, domain services, design assets, or developer account fees) may be billed separately or prepaid by the client, as agreed. Taxes, if applicable, may be added where required.
appstus.com does not currently process online card payments. Commercial payments for engagements are arranged through the methods agreed for that project.
8. Third-party platforms and external services
Mobile products often depend on external systems such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, cloud hosting, payment providers, analytics tools, APIs, and SDKs. Those services operate under their own terms, policies, pricing, and availability.
Appstus does not control and cannot guarantee App Store or Google Play approval, continuous availability of third-party APIs, or decisions made by external platform operators. Reasonable professional assistance with submission or integration may be included where agreed, but platform outcomes remain outside our exclusive control.
9. Intellectual property
Intellectual property arrangements for a project are set out in the applicable agreement. In commercial practice, the following distinctions typically apply unless the project documents state otherwise:
- Client-provided materials remain the client's property (or that of the client's licensors).
- Ownership or license rights in project-specific deliverables are defined by the project agreement and are generally contingent on payment of amounts due for those deliverables.
- Appstus may retain rights in pre-existing tools, components, libraries, templates, know-how, and reusable frameworks that were not created uniquely for the client.
- Open-source software and third-party assets remain subject to their own licenses and terms.
Website content on appstus.com (text, design, branding, and related materials) is owned by Appstus or its licensors and may not be copied or reused without permission, except for ordinary browsing and fair dealing as allowed by law.
10. Confidentiality
Each party should treat non-public business, technical, and product information shared during an engagement as confidential and use it only for the project, unless disclosure is required by law or the information is already public through no fault of the receiving party.
Project agreements may include more specific confidentiality terms.
11. Testing, acceptance, and support
Deliverables are reviewed according to the acceptance process in the project documents. Clients should test thoroughly in agreed environments and raise defects within the review windows stated for the engagement.
Ongoing maintenance, updates, monitoring, or support after delivery are not automatic. They require a separate agreement or an expressly included support period.
12. Warranties and commercial outcomes
Appstus provides professional design and development services. Except as expressly stated in a project agreement, services and website content are provided on an “as available” basis without warranties of uninterrupted operation or fitness for every particular purpose.
Appstus does not guarantee commercial results such as revenue, sales, downloads, conversions, profitability, user adoption, ranking, or business growth. Outcomes depend on many factors beyond development alone, including market conditions, marketing, operations, pricing, and product decisions.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Appstus is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising from use of the website or from services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability cannot be excluded, Appstus's aggregate liability arising from a particular engagement is limited to the fees paid to Appstus for that engagement during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, unless a project agreement states a different cap.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
14. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement as provided in the applicable project documents. If documents are silent, either party may terminate by written notice, subject to payment for work performed, non-cancellable commitments, and third-party costs already incurred.
Upon termination, ${brandName} may stop work and invoice for completed work and authorized expenses. Return or transfer of materials is handled as agreed and subject to payment status. Refund and cancellation matters are addressed in the Refund & Cancellation Policy and the applicable project agreement.
15. Refunds and cancellations
Custom service refunds and cancellations are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy and by any project-specific payment terms. Those documents should be read together with these Terms.
16. Disputes
If a disagreement arises, contact info@appstus.com promptly so we can review the matter in good faith. Many issues can be resolved through direct discussion.
These Terms are intended to set clear expectations for website use and general service relationships. Project-specific agreements may include additional dispute-resolution procedures.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date on this page will change when we do. Continued use of appstus.com after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms for website use. Active project engagements remain governed by their existing written agreements unless the parties agree otherwise.
