Terms & Conditions

Last updated: October 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of techielokesh.com and any services provided by techielokesh ("I", "me", "my", "the Provider"), including Android app development, website development, custom software, and SaaS products, and tutoring or training ("Services"). By using this website or engaging my Services, you ("Client", "you") agree to these Terms.

1. Services

The scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing of each project are defined in a written quotation, invoice, or agreement (including email or messaging confirmation). Anything outside the agreed scope is treated as a separate request and may be charged additionally.

2. Client Responsibilities

• Provide accurate requirements, content, assets, and access in a timely manner.
• Ensure you own or have the right to use all materials you supply (text, logos, images, data).
• Review deliverables promptly and give consolidated feedback. Delays on your side may extend timelines.

3. Payments

• Payment terms (advance, milestones, final payment) are as stated in the quotation or invoice.
• Work may be paused, and final deliverables or source code withheld, until due payments are cleared.
• Applicable taxes, including GST where applicable, are charged extra unless stated otherwise.
• Third-party costs (domains, hosting, app store fees, paid APIs, licenses) are the Client's responsibility unless included in the quotation.

4. Refund & Cancellation Policy

Because my Services involve time, effort, and resources committed from the moment work begins, the following applies:

• No refund, full or partial, will be issued once any portion of the Service has been started, delivered, or used, no matter how small that portion is. This includes design drafts, prototypes, code, setup, consultation, hosting or deployment work, and access to any SaaS product.
• Advance payments are non-refundable once work has commenced.
• Cancellation by the Client, change of mind, or a decision not to continue does not entitle you to a refund.
• Dissatisfaction with subjective aspects (such as design taste) after the agreed scope has been delivered does not qualify for a refund. Reasonable revisions within the agreed scope will be provided.
• SaaS subscriptions are non-refundable for the current billing period once access has been provided, and are not pro-rated on cancellation.
• If I am unable to start or deliver a Service for reasons entirely on my side, any refund (or credit) will be at my discretion, limited to the amount paid for the portion not availed.
• Tutoring and training fees follow the same no-refund rule once the first session has been attended or any material has been provided (see Section 15).

5. Intellectual Property

• Upon receipt of full payment, the Client receives ownership of the custom deliverables created specifically for them, excluding third-party components, open-source libraries, and my pre-existing tools or frameworks, which remain under their own licenses or mine.
• Until full payment is received, all rights in the work remain with the Provider.
• I may showcase non-confidential project work in my portfolio unless agreed otherwise in writing.
• SaaS products remain my property. Subscribers receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use them.

6. Confidentiality & Data Protection

I will treat non-public information shared by the Client as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties except as required to deliver the Services or by law. Personal data submitted through this website (such as the contact form) is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not sold to third parties. I handle personal data in accordance with applicable Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

7. Legal Compliance

• The Client agrees to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
• The Client is solely responsible for the legality of their business, content, and the use of any software, website, or app delivered, including compliance with data protection, consumer protection, e-commerce, taxation, and app store policies.
• I reserve the right to refuse or terminate work involving unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, harmful, or abusive activities, without refund.

8. Warranties & Disclaimer

Services are provided on an "as is" basis. I will make reasonable efforts to deliver work that meets the agreed specifications, but I do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, specific business results (such as traffic, revenue, rankings, or downloads), or compatibility with every device, browser, or third-party service. Unless agreed in writing, a maintenance or support period is not included.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I am not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, arising from the use of my Services. My total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the Client for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.

10. Third-Party Services

Projects may rely on third-party platforms (hosting providers, payment gateways, app stores, APIs). I am not responsible for their availability, policy changes, pricing, or actions.

11. Termination

I may suspend or terminate Services if the Client breaches these Terms, fails to make payments, or engages in unlawful conduct. Termination does not entitle the Client to a refund, and amounts already due remain payable.

12. Website Use

You agree not to misuse this website, attempt unauthorised access, send spam through the contact form, or interfere with its operation. Content on this site is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced without permission.

13. Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect changes. Continued use of the website or Services after changes means you accept the revised Terms. Projects already agreed in writing remain governed by the Terms in force when they were accepted.

14. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Nizamabad, Telangana, India. Parties agree to first attempt to resolve disputes amicably through discussion.

15. Tutoring & Training

• Tutoring and training services (including programming, web development, app development, and related technical subjects) are provided as one-to-one or group sessions, online or in person, as described at the time of enrolment.
• Fees are payable in advance, as stated in the quotation, invoice, or enrolment confirmation.
• Tutoring fees are non-refundable once the first session has been attended or any course material, recording, or access has been provided. Fees are not pro-rated for missed sessions, early withdrawal, or a change of mind.
• Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice, subject to availability. Sessions missed without notice, or cancelled at short notice, are treated as delivered.
• If I have to cancel a session, I will offer a replacement session at a mutually convenient time. No monetary refund applies.
• Learning outcomes depend on the student's own effort, attendance, and practice. I do not guarantee exam results, certifications, job placements, freelance income, or any specific skill level.
• Students are responsible for their own device, internet connection, and software required for sessions. Technical problems on the student's side do not entitle them to a refund or extra sessions.
• Course material, notes, code samples, and recordings are provided for the student's personal use only and may not be shared, resold, or published without written permission. Students may not record sessions without my consent.
• Students under 18 must enrol with the consent of a parent or guardian, who is responsible for payment and for these Terms.
• I may end tutoring for disruptive, abusive, or unlawful conduct (including cheating or misuse of what is taught) without refund.
