These Terms & Conditions govern your use of rippledesign.co and any services provided by Ripple Design (“we”, “us”, “our”), operated by Sunny Haladker, Hyderabad, India.
By visiting our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use our site or services.
These are the general terms for our website and services. Specific project engagements are governed by a separate Statement of Work or project agreement, which takes precedence over these general terms where they conflict.
Ripple Design provides design and software development services including UI/UX design, web and application development, brand identity, and related consulting services for businesses.
We reserve the right to decline any project enquiry at our discretion, and to subcontract portions of work to trusted partners where appropriate — we'll always tell you if we do.
Every client project begins with a written agreement — typically a Statement of Work (SOW) or project brief — that sets out the scope, timeline, deliverables, and payment terms specific to that engagement. These terms apply alongside the project agreement.
We work to the scope defined in the project agreement. Changes to scope — additional features, revised requirements, or expanded deliverables — require a written amendment and may affect timeline and cost.
You agree to:
Delays caused by late feedback or missing materials may affect project timelines. We'll always communicate this clearly.
Revision rounds included in a project are specified in the project agreement. Additional rounds beyond those included will be quoted separately.
Project fees are agreed in writing before work begins. We typically structure payments as:
Specific payment schedules are defined in each project agreement.
Invoices are due within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Late payments may incur interest at 2% per month. We reserve the right to pause work on overdue accounts.
Out-of-pocket expenses (third-party tools, stock assets, domain registrations, etc.) will be agreed in advance and invoiced at cost with supporting documentation.
Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced. If a project is cancelled mid-way, you'll be invoiced for work completed to that point. We handle these situations with common sense and good faith.
You retain ownership of all content, data, and materials you provide to us. We don't claim any rights to your brand, your content, or your business.
We retain ownership of all design work, code, and deliverables until final payment is received. Upon receipt of full payment, we assign to you ownership of the custom work created specifically for your project.
We may use frameworks, libraries, templates, and tools developed prior to or independently of your project. We retain ownership of these, but grant you a perpetual licence to use them as part of your delivered project.
We may feature your project in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials unless you request otherwise in writing. We'll always respect confidentiality where agreed.
We treat client information as confidential. We don't share project details, business information, or proprietary data with third parties, except as needed to deliver the project (e.g., subcontractors under equivalent confidentiality obligations) or as required by law.
If your project requires a formal NDA, we're happy to sign one before discussions begin — just ask.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ripple Design's total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses — including lost profits, lost revenue, or business interruption — even if we've been advised of the possibility of such losses.
Our website and services are provided “as is”. We make no warranties regarding uninterrupted availability, fitness for a particular purpose, or that software will be error-free. We'll fix bugs that are our responsibility promptly, but we can't guarantee perfection.
We're not responsible for the performance, availability, or terms of third-party services used in your project (hosting providers, payment gateways, APIs, etc.). We'll recommend reliable options, but the relationship with those providers is yours.
Either party may terminate a project engagement with 14 days' written notice. On termination:
We may terminate immediately if payment is more than 30 days overdue or if you breach these terms in a material way.
You may use rippledesign.co for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:
We reserve the right to restrict access to any person who violates these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hyderabad, Telangana.
For international clients, we're happy to discuss jurisdiction and governing law in the project agreement.
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our website or services after changes constitutes acceptance. For material changes affecting active projects, we'll notify you directly.
If anything here is unclear or you have questions, just ask. We'd rather have a quick conversation than leave something ambiguous.
