1. Engagement Models & Dev Overflow
BuildWithAtiya operates as an elite full-stack engineering partner providing senior technical execution for startups, founders, and creative design agencies across several flexible engagement structures:
2. 100% Intellectual Property & Code Ownership
We operate on a clean, unconditional intellectual property transfer principle:
Complete Rights Handover
Upon final settlement of project invoices or milestone release, 100% of custom source code, documentation, UI styling, and repository commits become the exclusive intellectual property of the client.
- No Proprietary Lock-In: All applications are engineered using standard open-source technologies (Next.js, React, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript). You will never be locked into proprietary runtime systems.
- Clean Git History: Code is delivered directly into your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket organization with clean atomic commits and self-hosted documentation.
3. Scope Definition, Milestones & Change Orders
Project delivery follows strict sprint milestones to ensure total clarity throughout execution:
- Written Statement of Work (SOW): Prior to commencement, every engagement establishes explicit deliverables, acceptance criteria, and technical boundaries.
- Staging Previews: Regular live demo URLs (via Vercel/Cloudflare preview deployments) are provided at each milestone so you can interact with features in real time.
- Fair Change Orders: If project requirements evolve or new feature ideas arise during a sprint, we provide an upfront estimate for the incremental scope before implementing changes.
4. Code Quality, Performance & Production Rigor
Every deliverable must satisfy rigorous software engineering criteria:
Codebases adhere to ESLint formatting standards, modern component modularity, secure environment configuration, and accessible semantic HTML.
5. Invoicing, Supported Channels & Payment Rails
To ensure zero friction for global studios, venture startups, and international founders, we accept payments across multiple regulated, verified commercial rails:
Direct wire transfer to our commercial bank account. Recommended for agency retainers and enterprise invoices.
Virtual domestic receiving accounts (US ACH Routing, UK Sort Code, EU SEPA IBAN) or credit/debit card invoice payments.
Fast, frictionless international transfer rails (TapTap Send, Wise, Remitly) with direct deposit into our bank. Low fees and instant confirmation.
USDT and USDC settlements via Binance Pay or direct on-chain transfer (TRC20, ERC20, Polygon). Zero banking delays or international exchange penalties.
- Milestone Structure: Fixed-price builds operate on a standard 50% kickoff deposit and 50% upon final acceptance, or divided into agreed monthly sprint milestones.
- Commercial Invoicing: Itemized corporate invoices in USD, EUR, or GBP are provided for company tax filings and business expense write-offs.
6. Complimentary 30-Day Post-Launch Warranty
Deployment is not the end of our commitment. Every custom build includes an all-inclusive post-launch warranty:
30-Day Defect Warranty Included
Any bugs, display defects, or discrepancies from agreed specifications reported within 30 days of production launch are resolved promptly at zero additional cost.
Following the initial 30 days, ongoing platform evolution, major new features, and version upgrades can be maintained smoothly via our monthly retainer packages.
7. Commercial Terms & Mutual Respect
Our contracts are grounded in professional integrity and mutual respect:
- Limitation of Liability: In no event shall developer liability exceed the total fees paid under the specific project scope. We are not liable for business interruptions caused by upstream third-party services (e.g. AWS downtime, OpenAI API changes).
- Collaborative Resolution: Any questions, timeline adjustments, or scope discussions are addressed promptly through transparent direct dialogue via WhatsApp, Slack, or email.
Need a Custom Scope, SLA or SOW?
We frequently draft bespoke agreements, milestone calendars, and retainer specs for design agencies and venture-backed startups.
