NOTICE: This document is a business starting point generated for VaruoCore and is not legal advice. A qualified attorney should review it for the operator's location and circumstances before you rely on it. It does not name a legal entity, street address, or court.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply when you request, quote, accept, pay for, or receive custom development from VaruoCore. VaruoCore is a solo freelance development practice. There is no team behind the operator.
1. Scope and quotes
Every project is scoped in a written quote. The quote is the price and scope authority for that project. Public estimates, the pricing calculator, and starter-package cards are ballpark figures only. Extra features, integrations, rush work, and changes after acceptance are quoted separately. A quote states its own validity period. If that period ends, the quote is no longer open for acceptance unless VaruoCore sends a replacement.
2. Starter packages
Fixed-scope starter packages cover only the items listed on the pricing page and in the quote. Anything outside that list is custom work. Selecting extra features on the calculator or request form does not change the starter price; those extras are added at their normal rates in writing.
3. Deposit and payment schedule
The standard deposit is 50% of the accepted quote total unless the quote says otherwise. The remaining balance is due when the work is complete and before unrestricted final delivery. Accepted payment methods are those shown on your order (currently PayPal and Cash App). You pay VaruoCore directly. VaruoCore confirms receipt by hand. A screenshot or a note that you sent money is not confirmation.
4. When a deposit is kept
After work begins, the deposit is normally not refundable. The operator may refund or credit part of a deposit in special circumstances. If VaruoCore has not started work, you may ask to cancel and the operator will decide a fair outcome in writing.
5. Client delays and materials
Timelines assume you provide access, content, feedback, and decisions when asked. If you delay, the schedule moves. If a project sits idle because materials or feedback are missing, VaruoCore may pause the project or treat it as abandoned after written notice.
6. Timelines and rush work
Dates in a quote are targets, not guarantees. Rush work, if offered, is priced on the quote. A 12-hour reply goal is a service goal, not a contractual promise.
7. Revisions and scope changes
The quote states how many revision rounds are included. New features, new platforms, or a change in the problem to solve are scope changes and need a revised quote. Bug fixes for work VaruoCore delivered, during the included support period, are not new features.
8. Testing and acceptance
You test the delivered work before final payment. If you do not report a blocking issue within the review window on the quote, VaruoCore may treat the work as accepted for delivery purposes.
9. Bugs versus new requests
A bug is the delivered work not matching the accepted quote. A new request is anything the quote did not include. Bugs in the support window are fixed at no extra project fee. New requests are quoted.
10. Delivery and final payment
Unrestricted delivery (source handover, production credentials, and remaining files) follows confirmed final payment unless the quote says otherwise. Partial delivery for testing does not waive the final balance.
11. Source code and ownership
After full payment, you receive the project-specific source code and agreed deliverables unless the quote says otherwise. VaruoCore keeps ownership of pre-existing code, reusable libraries, internal tooling, generic frameworks, templates, and know-how. You receive the rights needed to use those retained pieces as part of the delivered project. Exclusive ownership or a full IP buyout is a separately quoted option. Third-party packages, fonts, media, APIs, and services stay under their own licenses.
12. Hosting, domains, and third-party costs
Provider charges for hosting, domains, APIs, licences, and similar services are billed at cost unless the quote includes them. VaruoCore will confirm an expected amount before buying something on your behalf.
13. Maintenance and support
The quote states the included bug-fix support period after delivery. Ongoing maintenance plans, if any, are billed separately.
14. Your content
You confirm you have the right to give VaruoCore the content, brands, accounts, and data you provide. You are responsible for that material. Do not request illegal work. VaruoCore may refuse or stop a project that appears unlawful or that would require access VaruoCore cannot safely hold.
15. Confidentiality
VaruoCore will not share your private project files, credentials, or unpublished business details except with you, an approved collaborator you name, or as needed to operate the project (for example hosting). Public portfolio use is covered below.
16. Portfolio
VaruoCore may describe completed work in a public case study (name, screenshots, and a short technical summary) unless you opt out in writing before delivery. You may ask for the public case study to omit your name or brand.
17. Chargebacks and payment disputes
If you dispute a payment, contact billing@varuocore.com first so the record can be reviewed. Filing a chargeback without that discussion may pause work and delivery. VaruoCore keeps payment and quote records to respond to disputes.
18. Cancellation and abandoned projects
Either party may cancel in writing. If you cancel after work begins, the deposit is normally kept and any unpaid approved extra work remains due. If VaruoCore cancels before delivery for a reason other than your breach, unused prepaid fees for work not performed are refunded. A project with no meaningful client response after written notice may be paused or closed.
19. Accounts and payment authorization
You must be authorized to use the payment method you use. If you are under 18, you may inquire and request a quote. Payment and quote acceptance require parent or guardian approval. The named parent or guardian must approve the request and authorize payment before a quote can be accepted.
20. Limitation
To the extent allowed by law, VaruoCore is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, or for losses above the fees you paid for the affected project. This section does not override rights you cannot waive. This is not a promise that the software is free of defects or that any result is legally guaranteed.
21. Disputes
Talk to VaruoCore first at hello@varuocore.com or quotes@varuocore.com. If a written quote names a governing law or forum for that project, that quote controls. This page does not designate a default court or country of law, because none has been set here.
22. Changes
VaruoCore may publish a new version of these Terms. The version you accepted on a request or quote stays the version for that project.
