If you are entering into these terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these terms.

4 Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, and software — is the property of WaterMelon Team and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Client Work: Upon full payment, intellectual property rights for custom deliverables created specifically for a client will transfer to the client as outlined in the project agreement. We retain the right to use non-proprietary tools, frameworks, and general methodologies developed independently.

Portfolio Use: Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, we reserve the right to reference completed projects in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, without disclosing confidential information.

5 Client Responsibilities

To ensure successful project delivery, clients agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information required for the project
• Designate an authorised point of contact for decisions and approvals
• Review and provide feedback on deliverables within agreed timelines
• Ensure they have the right to use any materials, content, or data provided to us
• Comply with all applicable laws relating to the project and its intended use

6 Payment Terms

Payment terms will be defined in the individual project agreement or invoice. General terms include:

• A deposit (typically 30–50%) may be required before project commencement
• Invoices are payable within 14 days of issuance unless otherwise agreed
• Late payments may incur interest at a rate of 1.5% per month
• Work may be paused or withheld pending resolution of overdue invoices
• Refunds are subject to the terms of the specific project agreement

All prices are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

7 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the course of an engagement. This includes business data, technical specifications, trade secrets, and financial information.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that:

• Is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this agreement
• Was already known to the receiving party before disclosure
• Is independently developed without reference to the confidential information
• Is required to be disclosed by law or court order

Where required, a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) can be executed upon request.

8 Disclaimer of Warranties

Our website and the information on it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time.

9 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WaterMelon Team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities — arising from your use of our website or services.

Our total liability for any claim arising under or in connection with a project shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific deliverable giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10 Termination

Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice, subject to the terms of the project agreement. Upon termination:

• The client shall pay for all work completed up to the termination date
• We will deliver any completed work product that has been paid for
• Both parties will return or destroy confidential materials as requested
• Provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, and liability shall survive termination

We reserve the right to terminate access to our website immediately and without notice for violations of these Terms of Service.

11 Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which WaterMelon Team is registered. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in that jurisdiction.

We encourage resolution of disputes through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal action.
