Effective date: September 6, 2026. These terms govern your use of the OlDevs (Online Developers) website and describe how engagements with OlDevs work. By using the site you agree to these terms. Project-specific terms are set out in the written proposal and agreement for each engagement, which take precedence over this page where they differ.
Using this website
The content on this site is provided for general information about our services. You may browse and share links freely. You may not scrape the site for commercial reuse, attempt to interfere with its operation, or misrepresent the source of any content taken from it. We try to keep the site accurate and current, but we make no warranty that every statement is complete or error-free, and we may change the site at any time.
Quotes and proposals
We do not publish prices. Every engagement is quoted individually after we understand the scope. A quote is an invitation to discuss, not a binding offer, until both parties sign a proposal or agreement that sets out the scope, timeline, fees, payment schedule and acceptance criteria. Estimates given in conversation are indicative only.
Ownership and intellectual property
Unless a signed agreement says otherwise, the client owns the deliverables we create for them on payment in full: source code, designs, content, accounts and the intellectual property in them. We retain ownership of our pre-existing tools, templates and know-how, and grant the client a perpetual licence to use any of them that are embedded in the deliverables. Third-party components remain subject to their own licences, which we identify in the handover documentation.
Client responsibilities
Clients agree to provide timely access to the people, information, systems and approvals a project needs, to hold the rights to any material they supply, and to review weekly demos and staging releases so that issues are raised while they are inexpensive to fix.
Confidentiality
Each party keeps the other's non-public information confidential and uses it only for the engagement. We are happy to sign a client's non-disclosure agreement before discovery begins. Case studies on this site withhold client names unless the client has approved publication.
Warranties and liability
We warrant that deliverables will materially conform to the agreed specification for the warranty period stated in the agreement, and we will correct non-conformities reported within that period at no charge. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, consequential or special damages, and our total liability under an engagement is limited to the fees paid for the work giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Third-party services
Projects often depend on third-party platforms such as cloud hosting, app stores, payment processors and AI model providers. Their availability, pricing and policies are outside our control; we choose them carefully and design for change, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.
Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from the website or an engagement are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, and the parties submit to the courts of British Columbia, unless a signed agreement provides otherwise.
