Written scope before work begins
Every engagement starts with a written agreement covering deliverables, pricing, and timing so both sides know exactly what is being approved.
Policies, Terms & Guarantees
Clear expectations protect both sides.
This page explains Tekpair’s service commitments, project policies, payment terms, ownership rules, cancellation requirements, scope limitations, and legal terms in plain language.
Tekpair Service Guarantees
What you can expect from us.
These commitments apply to Tekpair’s process, communication, payment handling, and delivery of the work included in your written agreement.
No unapproved surprise charges
Changes outside the original agreement are discussed and documented before they affect the project price, timeline, or deliverables.
Ownership after final payment
Tekpair-created deliverables, source files, and project assets included in the agreement are transferred after the final balance is paid.
Honest limits and recommendations
When a request falls outside Tekpair’s capabilities or the agreed scope, we say so clearly and help point you toward a more appropriate solution.
Clear payment handling
Invoices and payments are handled through Square. Tekpair.com does not collect, process, or store customer payment information.
Guarantee limitation: These are service commitments—not guarantees of third-party uptime, platform availability, or outcomes controlled by hosting providers, APIs, payment processors, search engines, or other external services. Your written agreement controls the final scope and obligations for each engagement.
Projects
Project Engagement
4 terms
01
Signed agreement required before work begins
Every project is covered by a written agreement outlining deliverables, timeline, and pricing. No work begins until both parties have signed — or on the start date stated in the agreement.
02
50% deposit on larger projects
Projects estimated over $1,000 — or that require significant or hands-on work — require a 50% deposit upfront. This secures your spot in our schedule and protects both sides. The agreement covers everything in full.
03
Remaining balance due before delivery
The remaining balance is always due before delivery. Final files and access are transferred once the balance is paid in full.
04
Changes are handled by amendment
If anything changes while we work that wasn't already covered in the agreement, we amend the agreement to cover it — so pricing and timeline always reflect what's actually being done.
Cancellations
Cancellation & Refunds
5 terms
01
Cancel before work begins — full refund
If you cancel before any work has begun, you receive a full refund, issued back to your original payment method.
02
Cancel after work has started — deposit is retained
If you cancel once work has already started, the 50% deposit is not returned — it covers the work completed to date. You'll receive all deliverables produced up to the point of cancellation.
03
7 days to claim completed work
For standard (non-retainer) clients, you have 7 calendar days to pay for completed work in order to receive it. After 7 days, the right to receive that completed work is forfeited.
04
Retainer cancellation — 30 days written notice
Retainer agreements require 30 days written notice by email to cancel. Services are provided up until the date of cancellation.
05
No refunds on completed and delivered work
Once work has been completed and delivered, there are absolutely no refunds. We check in daily and welcome feedback throughout, so everything is right before final delivery.
Payment
Payment Terms
4 terms
01
Invoiced and processed via Square
All invoices are handled and processed through Square. There is absolutely no payment collected on tekpair.com.
02
Net-15 for retainer clients only
We offer Net-15 terms for retainer clients only — invoices must be paid within 15 calendar days of the invoice date. All other invoices follow the terms stated in your agreement.
03
No late payment interest
We don't charge late payment interest — because we don't do late payments. Payment terms are agreed upfront, and balances are settled before delivery.
04
No payment collected on tekpair.com
Tekpair.com does not collect, process, or store any payment information. All invoicing and payment processing is handled exclusively through Square.
Ownership
Intellectual Property
4 terms
01
Full ownership upon final payment
Upon final payment, you receive full IP ownership of all content produced for you by Tekpair.
02
Portfolio & marketing rights
Tekpair reserves the right to showcase completed work for our portfolio and marketing purposes, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
03
Third-party assets are licensed, not owned
Any third-party assets used in your project (stock photos, fonts, plugins, etc.) are licensed under their respective terms. Ownership of these assets does not transfer — only the license to use them as part of your project.
04
Full delivery of source files
All source code, design files, and project assets are delivered once final payment is received.
Limitations
Scope of Service
4 terms
01
Services as described in your agreement
We only provide services as described in our agreements. Any work requested outside the original agreement requires an amendment to that agreement.
02
Hosting & third-party subscriptions
Hosting, domain registration, and third-party subscriptions are the client's responsibility unless explicitly agreed otherwise in the scope of work. If Tekpair ends up paying for hosting or third-party subscriptions, the client is responsible for reimbursing Tekpair the full amount, including any taxes.
03
Third-party service outages
We are not responsible for outages or disruptions caused by third-party services, including hosting providers, APIs, payment processors, or other external platforms.
04
We'll always be upfront
If we're not able to handle something, we'll tell you upfront and recommend a different service provider or agency. We'd rather point you in the right direction than overpromise.
