AGREEMENT: The Weekend MVP
This is a Terms of Service, not a negotiated contract. You agree before payment.
I. THE DELIVERABLE (WHAT YOU GET)
- Source Code: Full ownership of the GitHub repository transferred to you.
- Deployment: One live, functioning web app deployed to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages.
- Core Feature Set: Up to 3 distinct user flows (e.g., "User Signs Up," "User Uploads Photo," "User Gets Result").
- Tech Stack: I choose the stack. Standard: Next.js / Supabase / Tailwind. You don't get to request Laravel.
- Documentation: README with setup instructions and environment variables.
II. THE ANTI-SCOPE (WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED)
- Design Revisions: I build based on the vibe/description you provide. There are no "can we make the blue bluer?" rounds. You get one round of functional revisions (within 48 hours of delivery).
- Copywriting: You provide the text, or I use AI placeholder copy. I am not your copywriter.
- 3rd Party Headaches: I will connect standard APIs (OpenAI, Stripe, Auth0, Supabase). I will not debug your obscure, undocumented, proprietary enterprise API.
- The "One More Thing" Clause: Any feature request sent after payment is received is automatically a Phase 2 engagement. Minimum $1,000. No exceptions.
- Native Mobile Apps: Web apps only. No native mobile app development included.
III. HANDOFF & MAINTENANCE
- The "Keys on the Counter" Policy: Once the repo is transferred and the site is live, the engagement ends. I hand you the keys. What you do next is your business.
- No Warranties: The code is provided "as is." I do not offer ongoing bug fixes, server maintenance, or on-call support after the sprint is complete.
- Self-Hosting: If you move the code to your own infrastructure and break it, that is your adventure, not mine.
- Hosting Costs: You are responsible for any hosting fees after handoff. Vercel/Netlify free tiers are usually sufficient for MVPs.
IV. PAYMENT & REFUNDS
- 100% Upfront: Work begins only when funds clear. No invoicing, no net-30, no exceptions.
- Kill Fee: If you cancel mid-sprint, I keep 50% for the time slot reserved. The slot is the product.
- No Refunds After Delivery: Once the repo is transferred and the site is live, the transaction is complete.
V. TIMELINE
- The 72-Hour Window: Delivery within 72 hours of the Scope Lock Call concluding (96 hours for Micro-SaaS tier).
- Your Responsiveness: If you take 24 hours to answer a clarifying question, the clock pauses. Don't ghost your ghost developer.
- Early Delivery: If I finish in 36 hours, you get it in 36 hours. I don't sit on completed work.
