These website terms provide a general framework. Any project-specific scope, commercial terms, ownership, support commitments, data responsibilities, and governing terms should be recorded in a signed proposal, statement of work, or agreement.
Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Floatger website and provide general terms relating to our services. A separate written proposal, statement of work, or agreement may apply to a specific engagement and will take priority where its terms differ.
Services
Floatger provides software development and related IT services on a remote-first basis. The scope, timeline, deliverables, responsibilities, and commercial terms for each project are defined and agreed before work begins.
Client responsibilities
Clients agree to provide accurate information, timely decisions and feedback, access, and any materials reasonably required to deliver the work. Delays in these inputs may affect scope, cost, or delivery timing.
Pricing and payment
Project pricing, payment schedules, and payment terms are agreed in writing. Payments must be made according to those terms. Overdue payment may result in delay or suspension of services.
Project scope and changes
Requests outside an agreed scope may require additional time and cost. Material changes to requirements, features, or deliverables must be mutually agreed in writing before implementation.
Intellectual property
The written agreement for an engagement will identify client-provided materials, project-specific deliverables, Floatger’s pre-existing or reusable materials, and any open-source or third-party components. Any transfer or licence of project-specific intellectual property is subject to the agreed terms and full payment. Floatger will not publish confidential project information or display client work in a portfolio without the client’s permission.
Confidentiality
Each party agrees to protect confidential information received from the other and use it only for the purpose of evaluating or delivering the relevant engagement.
Communication and availability
As a remote-first company, Floatger generally communicates through email, messaging, project tools, and video calls. Communication rhythms and points of contact may be agreed for each engagement.
Third-party services
A project may depend on third-party software, platforms, APIs, hosting, or other services. Their availability, functionality, pricing, and policies are controlled by their respective providers.
Data protection and backups
Floatger takes reasonable measures to protect project information. Clients remain responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of their data and systems unless backup responsibilities are expressly included in a written agreement.
Personal data in project work
Where project work involves personal data, the written agreement should define the parties’ roles, authorised processing, security responsibilities, retention, approved service providers, and any required data-processing terms. Clients should not provide live personal data or production credentials unless the agreed delivery method requires them and a secure transfer method has been arranged.
Warranties and disclaimers
Except where expressly agreed in writing, the website and services are provided “as is” and “as available.” While we aim to deliver high-quality work, we cannot guarantee that every service will be uninterrupted or entirely error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Floatger will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from use of the website or services. Any project-specific liability terms may be set out in the applicable written agreement.
Rights that cannot be excluded
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right, remedy, guarantee, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If a limitation in these terms is unenforceable, it applies only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with its written terms. Work completed and costs incurred up to the effective termination date remain payable.
Lawful use of the website
You may use this website only for lawful purposes. You must not attempt to damage, disable, disrupt, or improperly access the website, its systems, or other users’ information.
Force majeure
Floatger is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, widespread service or internet outages, conflict, or government action.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these website terms from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
Governing law
These terms are governed by applicable law without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any specific governing law or dispute procedure agreed for a client engagement will be stated in its written agreement.
