Terms & conditions
We get it … legal documents are notoriously unreadable. They’re packed with jargon, dense sentences, and terms that can make our eyes glaze over. We believe contracts shouldn’t feel like a puzzle.
That’s why we’ve created this plain-English version of our terms and conditions. It’s designed to be clear, easy to understand, and free of unnecessary complexity. It’s not a replacement for the legal version (yet!), but it’s what we’re saying in legalese right now, just in everyday language.
1. Overview
- Agreement: This document, plus any specific proposals we agree to.
- Services: What we’ll do for you (e.g., build an app, provide support, etc.).
2. What We’ll Do
- We’ll deliver the services outlined in our agreement with reasonable care, skill, and professionalism.
- We’ll use qualified people and follow relevant laws.
3. What You Need to Do
- You’ll provide us with the information and support we need to do our work.
- You’ll use our services and apps legally and as agreed.
4. Who Owns What
- If we create something new (like an app), we usually own the rights to it.
- You own anything you provide to us, even if we modify it.
- If agreed in writing, you can own the app once you’ve paid for it.
5. Using Our Apps
- You can use our apps for your business while the agreement is active.

6. Data and Privacy

7. Payments

- If you’re late, we might charge interest or pause work until payment.
8. Liability
- We’re responsible for direct issues caused by our mistakes (like losing data due to negligence).
- We’re not liable for indirect losses (e.g., lost profits).
- You’re responsible for how you use the app and the data you enter.
9. Ending the Agreement
- The agreement runs for the period we agree to and can renew automatically.
- Either of us can end it with notice or for serious breaches.
10. Changes in Ownership
- If your company ownership changes and it might impact us, let us know.
- We’ll only need to agree to changes that could affect our work.
11. Confidentiality
- We’ll keep your information private, and you’ll do the same for ours.
12. Disputes
- If there’s a problem, we’ll try to work it out.
- If we can’t, it’ll go to arbitration in New Zealand.
13. General Stuff
- This agreement is governed by New Zealand law.
- If part of the agreement doesn’t work, the rest still applies.
