Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form an agreement between you and Margaret, operated by Margaret Wrabel (“Margaret,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your use of our website and our mobile app design, development, and related services (the “Services”). By using our website or engaging our Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Our services

Margaret provides mobile app strategy, design, development, launch, and maintenance services. Specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing for a project are defined in a written proposal, quote, or statement of work (“SOW”). Any timelines or estimates we provide are good-faith projections, not guarantees, and may be affected by scope changes and client responsiveness.

3. Proposals & engagement

Work begins once you accept a proposal or SOW and pay any required deposit. Changes to agreed scope (“change requests”) may affect the timeline and cost and will be confirmed in writing before we proceed.

4. Fees & payment

• Fees, payment schedule, and any deposit are set out in the applicable proposal or SOW.
• Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice. Late payments may incur reasonable late fees and may pause work.
• Unless stated otherwise, fees exclude third-party costs (for example, developer-program fees, hosting, licenses, and APIs), which are billed to or paid by the client.
• Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding work has been performed.

5. Client responsibilities

To keep a project on track, you agree to provide timely feedback and approvals, supply required content, accounts, and access (such as Apple Developer and Google Play accounts), and ensure you have the rights to any materials you provide to us.

6. Intellectual property & ownership

Upon full payment for a project, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you. We retain ownership of our pre-existing materials, tools, libraries, and know-how, and grant you a license to use them as incorporated into your deliverables. Unless you request otherwise in writing, we may describe and display non-confidential work in our portfolio.

7. Third-party services

Projects often rely on third-party platforms and services — including the Apple App Store, Google Play, hosting, and software libraries — each governed by its own terms. You are responsible for complying with the terms of any accounts and platforms used for your project, and we are not responsible for the acts, policies, or availability of third parties.

8. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other’s non-public information confidential and to use it only to perform under, or benefit from, the engagement. This does not apply to information that is public, already known, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

9. Warranties & disclaimers

We will perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Except as expressly stated, our website and Services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website or any deliverable will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Margaret and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Margaret and its operator from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from materials you provide, your use of deliverables, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

12. Term & termination

Either party may terminate an engagement with written notice as described in the applicable proposal or SOW. On termination, you agree to pay for all work performed and approved up to the termination date. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, and liability — will survive.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania will have jurisdiction over any dispute, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing in these Terms affects your non-waivable statutory rights.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of our website or Services after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
