Terms of Service

Plain terms, written the way we deliver. They cover this site and any work you buy from us. Read them once. Nothing here is a surprise later.

Order of precedence

Three papers, in this order

A signed contract always beats a web page. Here is the stack we work to.

  1. Master agreement

    The signed contract between your company and TrustChange. It sets confidentiality, IP transfer, liability and notice periods. It wins over everything below.

  2. Statement of work

    One per project or team. It names the scope, the rate card, the milestones and the people. A new SOW never rewrites the master agreement by accident.

  3. These terms

    The baseline for the site and for early talks. They apply until a signed agreement replaces them. Where a clause clashes, the signed paper rules.

The clauses

What each side signs up to

Six clauses cover almost every question we get asked. Scope, money, IP, data, warranty, exit. Our services and compliance pages show how they play out.

Scope of service

We build and run digital-asset and payment software. Work starts only from a written scope. Anything outside it is quoted first, then built.

Fees and invoicing

Rates and milestones sit in the SOW. We invoice monthly in arrears. Payment is due 14 days from the invoice date, in the currency named there.

Ownership and IP

You own the code, the diagrams and the records from the first commit. Rights pass on creation, not on final payment. We keep no escrow clause.

Confidentiality and data

Both sides hold the other's material in confidence for five years. We process personal data as a processor only. See our privacy notice for the detail.

Warranty and limits

We warrant that the work is done with due skill and care. We do not warrant that any market, chain or third-party rail stays available.

Term and exit

Either side may end an engagement on 30 days written notice. You pay for work done to that date. Handover of keys and runbooks is included.

Schedule A

Windows and notice periods

These are our defaults. A signed SOW may set tighter numbers for your build. It never sets looser ones without saying so in writing.

Default notice periods and limits
Payment due 14 days net From the invoice date
Notice to end 30 days Written, either side
Defect remedy 30 days From accepted delivery
Confidentiality 5 years After the last SOW ends
Liability cap 12 months fees Unless the law says otherwise

If something goes wrong

Four steps, in order

We would rather fix it than argue about it. This is the path.

  1. Raise it with your lead

    Every engagement has one named delivery lead. Most issues close here, inside a sprint.

  2. Written notice

    Email the detail to us. We reply within five working days with a plan and a date.

  3. Remedy window

    We fix accepted defects at our own cost. The clock runs for 30 days from delivery.

  4. Escalation

    If it is still open, the courts of our place of establishment hear the matter.
