1. Introduction

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of this website and any freelance services provided by ByteEngine ("I", "me", "my"), an individual freelance developer operating as ByteEngine. ByteEngine is not a registered company, corporation, LLC, or agency, and operates as a sole individual freelancer. By browsing this website, contacting me about a project, making a payment, or otherwise engaging my services, you ("you", "client") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or engage my services.

2. Independent contractor relationship

I provide services as an independent contractor, not as an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of any client. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or franchise relationship between me and any client. I retain full control over how, when, and by what methods agreed work is carried out, subject to the agreed scope and deadlines for a given project.

3. Services

I provide freelance Roblox environment and map-building services, including the design and construction of arenas, lobbies, hangout spaces, and related digital environments, along with associated custom development work as agreed individually with clients. Services are provided based on my own skill, judgment, and reasonable effort — not to a guaranteed specification beyond what is explicitly agreed in writing for a given project.

4. Project scope and quotations

The scope of any specific project — including deliverables, price, milestones, timeline, and revisions — is defined separately for each client, typically through direct communication (Discord, email, or the contact form) rather than by this website alone. Any quote, estimate, or price discussed before a project formally begins is indicative and non-binding until confirmed in writing. Where a written project agreement, invoice, or confirmed quote exists, that agreement takes precedence over general statements on this website. I reserve the right to decline any project enquiry, at my sole discretion, for any reason.

5. Client responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing timely feedback, and any assets, information, access, or content needed to complete the project, along with clear communication about requirements. Clients are solely responsible for ensuring that any content, references, assets, branding, or instructions they supply do not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party, and for ensuring their intended use of the delivered work complies with Roblox's own terms of service and any other applicable third-party platform rules. Delays in providing the above may affect project timelines, and I am not responsible for delays caused by a client's action or inaction.

6. Pricing and payments

Pricing is agreed on a per-project basis and is due as agreed for each project, whether upfront, per milestone, or otherwise specified. Payments made through the payment page are for an agreed project, milestone, deposit, or invoice — not for open-ended or unspecified purchases. Payments are processed by Razorpay, a third-party payment gateway; see the Privacy Policy for details on how payment information is handled. I reserve the right to pause or stop work on any project where an agreed payment is overdue, until the outstanding amount is settled, without that pause being treated as a breach of these Terms on my part.

7. Project milestones

Where a project is broken into milestones, payment schedules and deliverables for each milestone will be agreed with the client before work on that milestone begins. Work on a subsequent milestone is not obligated to start until payment for the prior milestone has been received in full.

8. Changes and revisions

Reasonable revisions related to the agreed scope are generally included as part of a project, where this is agreed upfront. Requests that go beyond the originally agreed scope ("scope creep") may require an additional agreement, timeline adjustment, or fee, to be discussed and agreed with the client before any such additional work proceeds. I am under no obligation to perform out-of-scope work without a separate agreement.

9. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, ownership of custom work created specifically for a client transfers to that client only upon receipt of full and cleared payment for the relevant project. Until full payment is received, all work product, drafts, and files remain my sole property, and no license to use them is granted. I retain ownership at all times of any general-purpose tools, scripts, techniques, pre-existing assets, and know-how used in delivering a project, whether or not they appear in the final work, and nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of such underlying tools or methods to a client. I also retain the right to showcase completed work in my portfolio and on this website, unless a client specifically requests otherwise in writing as part of the project agreement.

10. Third-party platforms and services

This website and my services rely on third-party platforms, including Roblox, Discord, email providers, and Razorpay for payment processing. I do not control, and am not responsible for, the availability, policies, pricing, features, or conduct of these third-party platforms, including any changes Roblox or any other platform may make to its terms, moderation decisions, or functionality that affect delivered work after the point of delivery. Use of those platforms is subject to their own respective terms, and clients are responsible for their own compliance with them.

11. Delivery of digital services

All services are delivered digitally; no physical products are shipped. See the Shipping & Delivery page for details on how deliverables are provided. Delivery timelines discussed with a client are estimates based on the information available at the time and are not guaranteed delivery dates unless expressly confirmed in a written agreement.

12. Cancellation

Clients may request to cancel a project by contacting me directly. See the Refund & Cancellation page for details on how cancellations are handled. I also reserve the right to cancel or decline to continue a project at my discretion — for example, in cases of abusive conduct, non-payment, or a client's failure to provide necessary information over an extended period — in which case any amount owed for work already completed remains payable.

13. Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the stage of the project and the work already completed at the time a cancellation is requested. See the Refund & Cancellation page for full details. Amounts corresponding to work already performed are non-refundable.

14. Acceptable use

You agree not to use this website or my services for any unlawful purpose, to misrepresent your identity, to submit fraudulent or unauthorized payment information, to request work that infringes a third party's rights, or to request work intended for an unlawful, deceptive, or harmful purpose. I reserve the right to refuse or discontinue any project that I reasonably believe falls into any of the above categories, without liability to the client for doing so.

15. No warranties

Except as expressly stated in a specific written project agreement, services and any deliverables are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of content or assets supplied by the client. I do not warrant that delivered work will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every version, update, or future change of Roblox or any other third-party platform.

16. Limitation of liability

Services are provided on a reasonable-effort basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to this website, any services provided, or any delivered work, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, my total aggregate liability to any client arising from or relating to a project shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by that client for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) content, assets, or instructions you provide that infringe a third party's rights; (c) your use of delivered work in a manner not agreed as part of the project; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party platform terms.

18. Force majeure

I will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to perform services resulting from causes outside my reasonable control, including but not limited to illness, internet or power outages, platform outages (including Roblox or Discord downtime), or other events beyond my reasonable control.

19. No guarantees of results

I make no guarantee regarding player counts, engagement, visibility, sales, revenue, or any other outcome resulting from delivered work. Any discussion of past work, examples, or portfolio pieces is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute a promise of similar results for any future project.

20. Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises relating to a project or these Terms, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting me directly, before pursuing any other remedy. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking appropriate legal recourse where an informal resolution cannot be reached.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or authority of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

22. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with any specific written project agreement, quote, or invoice agreed with a client, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein, and supersede any prior discussions or understandings not reflected in writing.

23. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without my prior written consent. I may assign these Terms or any related agreement in connection with a transfer of my business or as otherwise permitted by law.

24. Changes to these terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time at my discretion. Significant changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of this website or ongoing engagement of my services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing jurisdiction: India. These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of India, and any disputes arising in connection with these Terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts having appropriate jurisdiction in India.
