Terms & Conditions

Last updated 27 August 2026

Plain-English terms for working with the studio. No clause here is designed to trap you — if something reads as unfair, tell us and we will talk about it.

1. 01Who these terms are between

   These terms govern work carried out by Grownic ("we", "us", the studio) for a client ("you"). They apply to everything we build — websites, web apps, mobile apps, AI assistants and automated workflows — and to the use of this website itself.

   Where you and we have signed a separate written agreement, statement of work or proposal, that document takes precedence over anything here that conflicts with it.

2. 02Quotes, scope and changes

   Quotes are based on the scope described at the time we give them. A quote is valid for 30 days unless we say otherwise in writing.

   Scope changes are normal and we would rather you asked than went without. If a change materially affects effort or timeline, we will tell you what it costs before doing it — not after. We do not bill for work you did not agree to.

3. 03Timelines

   We work in weekly increments and show progress every week. Dates we give are honest estimates rather than guarantees, and they assume timely feedback, access and content from your side.

   Where a delay originates with us, we absorb it. Where it originates with a dependency outside our control — a third-party API, an app-store review, delayed sign-off — the timeline moves and we will say so at the time.

4. 04Payment

   Unless agreed otherwise, projects are invoiced in stages: a deposit to begin, then against milestones. Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue.

   We may pause work on materially overdue invoices after giving written notice. Fees are exclusive of any taxes, duties or bank charges, which are your responsibility.

5. 05Ownership of what we build

   You own the work. On receipt of final payment, all intellectual property in the deliverables created specifically for you — source code, designs, content and documentation — transfers to you outright. There is no licence to renew and no hostage-taking.

   Two carve-outs, both normal: we keep ownership of general-purpose tools, libraries and internal know-how that predate your project or that we build for reuse across clients (you receive a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them within the deliverables); and third-party open-source components stay under their own licences.

6. 06Showing the work

   We may reference your project in our portfolio and marketing — screenshots, a short description, your name and logo — unless you ask us not to. Tell us at any point and we will remove it. We never publish anything you have marked confidential, and we will not disclose commercially sensitive figures without asking first.

7. 07Your content and rights

   You confirm that any content you supply — text, images, logos, data — is yours to use, or that you hold the necessary licences. You keep ownership of it. We are not responsible for third-party claims arising from material you provided, and you agree to cover us against such claims.

8. 08Confidentiality

   Each of us will keep the other's non-public information confidential and use it only to carry out the work. This survives the end of a project. It does not cover information that is already public, that you or we already knew, or that we are legally required to disclose.

9. 09AI-assisted work

   We use AI tooling in our own process, and we build AI features on request. Where a deliverable includes an AI system, its outputs are probabilistic: it can be wrong, and it should not be treated as professional, legal, financial or medical advice.

   Where an AI feature can act on real data or take consequential action, we will design and document appropriate human review. We will always tell you which third-party model providers a system depends on, since your data will pass through them.

10. 10Warranty and support

    We warrant that deliverables will materially match the agreed specification. If something we built is defective, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will fix it at no cost.

    That warranty does not cover changes made by others, third-party service failures, or new requirements discovered after launch. Ongoing support and maintenance can be arranged separately.

11. 11Limitation of liability

    Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

    Otherwise, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability in connection with a project is limited to the fees you paid us for that project.

12. 12Ending a project

    Either of us may end a project with 14 days' written notice. You pay for work completed and costs committed up to that point; we hand over everything produced so far, and ownership of that work transfers as described above once the final invoice is settled.

13. 13Using this website

    This site is provided as-is for information. Content may change without notice. Do not attempt to disrupt it, access it by automated means at a rate that degrades it for others, or use it unlawfully. Links to third-party sites are not endorsements.

14. 14Governing law

    These terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the courts of Pakistan have exclusive jurisdiction. Where a signed agreement between us specifies a different governing law, that agreement prevails.

15. 15Changes to these terms

    We may update these terms; the date at the top always reflects the current version. Changes are not retroactive — work already underway continues under the terms in force when it began.
