Last updated: 1 June 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of collensengwenyane.co.za and any services provided by Collen Sengwenyane (“I”, “me”, “my”). By using this site or engaging me for work, you agree to these Terms.
1. Services
I offer freelance web development, Android application development, UI/UX design, and ongoing maintenance and support services as described on this site. Scope is agreed in writing for each project.
2. Engagements & quotes
- All prices shown on this site are starting points. Final quotes are tailored to project scope, timeline, and feature requirements.
- A signed proposal or written agreement (email counts) is required before work begins.
- A deposit (typically 50%) is required to start work on most projects. The remaining balance is due on completion or per a milestone schedule.
3. Payment
- Payment terms are specified in each project agreement.
- Invoices are payable within 7 days unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Late payments may incur interest at the prevailing prime rate plus 2% per annum.
- Final deliverables remain my property until payment is received in full.
4. Revisions & changes
- A reasonable number of revisions are included in each project, as specified in the proposal.
- Changes to scope outside the original brief (“scope creep”) will be quoted and invoiced separately.
5. Project timeline
- I will provide a realistic timeline at the start of each project.
- Timelines depend on timely client feedback, content delivery, and access to required systems.
- Delays caused by client unresponsiveness may push delivery dates.
6. Intellectual property
- On full payment, the final deliverables (websites, apps, designs, source code) become the client's property.
- I retain the right to display the work in my portfolio and to discuss it publicly, unless a non-disclosure agreement says otherwise.
- Pre-existing code libraries, frameworks, and reusable components remain my property and are licensed for use within the deliverable.
- Third-party assets (fonts, icons, images, libraries) remain subject to their own licences.
7. Client responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide timely and accurate content, assets, and feedback.
- Make payments per the agreed schedule.
- Respect the agreed scope.
- Be available for reasonable communication during the project.
8. Confidentiality
I treat all client information as confidential and will not share it with third parties without consent. Where required, a separate non-disclosure agreement can be signed before work begins.
9. Warranty & limitation of liability
- Deliverables are provided with the care and skill expected of a professional developer, but on an “as is” basis.
- I am not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the deliverables.
- My total liability for any single project is limited to the fees paid by the client for that project.
10. Cancellation
- Either party may cancel a project in writing at any time.
- Fees for work completed up to the date of cancellation are due.
- The initial deposit is non-refundable.
11. Third-party services
Some deliverables rely on third-party services (hosting, payment gateways, APIs, app stores). The client is responsible for the ongoing costs and terms of these services unless otherwise agreed.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Pretoria, Gauteng.
13. Updates to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site or services after updates means you accept the new Terms.
