Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Chedders.Dev, a trading name of Chedders LTD, a software development company incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of our services, including web and mobile development, blockchain development, cybersecurity services, AI solutions, and all related services provided by Chedders LTD.

By engaging our Services, submitting a project inquiry, signing a service agreement, or accessing any of our platforms, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not engage our services.

Chedders LTD provides technology services including but not limited to: custom web and mobile application development, blockchain and smart contract development, Web3 and DeFi protocol development, cybersecurity and ethical hacking assessments, UI/UX design and product strategy, AI/ML development and integration, cloud infrastructure and DevOps, and e-commerce, fintech, logistics, and other industry-specific platforms.

All services are subject to a separate Statement of Work (SOW) or project contract which will detail specific deliverables, timelines, and costs.

As a client, you agree to: provide complete, accurate, and timely information necessary for project delivery; ensure all content, data, and requirements comply with applicable laws and regulations; warrant that you have authority to enter this agreement on behalf of your organisation; respond to requests for approval or feedback within the agreed timeframe; and not request or use our services for any illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or unethical purpose.

Project Deposits: All projects require a minimum 50% upfront deposit before development begins. No work commences without cleared payment.

Milestone Payments: Remaining balances are structured as milestone payments as defined in the project contract.

Late Payments: Invoices unpaid after 7 days of due date may result in project suspension. Balances outstanding for 30+ days incur a 5% monthly late fee.

Refund Policy: Deposits are non-refundable once development has begun. If a project is cancelled before work begins, a full refund may be issued less administrative costs. Mid-project cancellations are subject to payment for all completed work.

Currencies: We invoice in Nigerian Naira (₦) for Nigerian clients and USD for international clients.

Client Ownership: Upon receipt of full payment, all custom-developed code, designs, and deliverables created specifically for you become your sole property. You receive full intellectual property rights.

Third-Party Components: Our work may incorporate open-source libraries or third-party components governed by their respective licenses. We will disclose significant third-party components in the project documentation.

Portfolio Rights: Unless expressly restricted in writing, we reserve the right to display your project in our portfolio and marketing materials. We will not disclose confidential business information in doing so.

Pre-Existing IP: Tools, frameworks, templates, or proprietary methodologies we developed prior to your project remain our sole property and are licensed to you on a non-exclusive basis.

Both parties agree to treat all non-public information shared during the engagement as confidential. This includes business plans, financial data, technical specifications, and user data. We will not disclose your confidential information to third parties without written consent. NDAs are signed upon request before project discussions begin.

To the maximum extent permitted by Nigerian law, Chedders LTD's total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for: indirect or consequential damages; loss of profits or revenue; data loss where not caused by our direct negligence; downtime of third-party services; or forces beyond our control (including internet outages, blockchain network failures, or regulatory changes).

Smart Contract Disclaimer: Blockchain technology is inherently experimental. We are not liable for losses arising from blockchain network issues, DeFi exploits in third-party protocols, or market volatility.

We warrant that our services will be performed professionally and with reasonable care and skill. We provide a warranty period for bug fixes after delivery as specified in the project contract. We do not warrant that software will be entirely error-free or that third-party services (hosting providers, APIs, blockchains) will be uninterrupted.

Either party may terminate a project by providing 14 days written notice. Upon termination: you are liable to pay for all work completed to the termination date; we will deliver all completed work upon receipt of outstanding payment; deposits for work not yet started may be refunded at our discretion. We may terminate immediately in cases of non-payment, breach of these Terms, or requests to perform illegal activities.

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation within 30 days. Unresolved disputes shall be referred to mediation in Lagos, Nigeria, before any formal legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify existing clients of material changes via email with 14 days' notice. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
