TERMS OF SALES, SERVICE and WARRANTY //

First and foremost; THANK YOU for your business.

We appreciate that you do business with us, and for your continuing support.


Of course, we are aware that there are alternatives in the marketplace. Frankly, the competition makes us better, and, gives us motivation to try even harder to earn your trust and ongoing business. Having recognized the competition, when one looks very closely at those marketplace alternatives, they prove to be somewhat less appealing than at “first blush.” These alternatives include “off the shelf” software which does not completely fit your needs, but which “may” allowyou “make do,” or, a “ground-up” software build, which may have enormous cost, and, could be prone to failures, as it may be completely new and untested technology. And it is important to consider: just how reliable is the person who wrote the code? Will they be there for you to make upgrades or changes in a year, three years, five years?


We also recognize that other developers work in the same "development environments" and frameworks. So, why use us over them? Because we have innovated new techniques and processes in those environments which offer functionality, and features, that nobody else is offering.


We pride ourselves on our innovation and creativity, and, in being able to deliver “more value” to our customers. We find that with software development, as with so many things, “one gets what one pays for.”


Can you afford to take risks with your business? Fortunately, you don’t need to do that…


We believe in our products (and work) which we know will stand the test of time, and real-world use, in your business.


We will build you a SCALABLE solution, which can grow with your business.


We will deliver to you TRUE VALUE for your enterprise, not “false economy.”


We DELIVER on what we promise, in a timely, professional manner. We will “get it right” for you.


We believe in the teams standing with us, and behind us. We hope you will as well. Thank you again for your consideration; we appreciate it.


We look forward to your comments, feedback, and, yourcoming business decisions. We sincerely hope to be a part of your future growth and business plans.

f) Sixty days' notice after first year: Following the first year of service as described above, 60 days' (sixty days') minimum notice is required in writing, the sixty days being calculated from the first day of the following month, to effect the termination of any subscription or ongoing service for software use or licences, GPS tracking, fleet management, MDM services, or, server access, etc... as detailed above. The customer will continue to pay for the services for the duration of the 60 days' notice period, and OTP will continue to offer all such services to the customer, to the end of the notice period.

Each half-month period runs from the 1st day of the month to the 15th day of the month, and, from the 16th day of the month, to the last day of the month. Each period shall account for 50% of the normal / nominal billing rate for the entire month (pro-rated for half). Server fees for “payroll parsing service,” or "server access fee," or any "back-up service," (or for any other service), would then commence on the 1st day of the next month, assuming the use of said services commences in the last half (from the 16th day onward) of the current month. All billings are rendered in advance. All payments fro services MUST BE PAID in advance, BY the 1st of the month (or 15th of the month, where pro-rated for a half month). All such billings commence upon the commencement of the services, NOT upon substantial completion of the entire project. The Contractor may, at its sole discretion, dispense with the half-monthly billing, and, render first bills for service on the first of the next month only, foregoing the half-monthly billing for the last half of the month. If / when The Contractor elects to forego billing, or, void or cancel a billing for services rendered, or, otherwise elects to "stop" a billing for a contracted service, this should not be taken as a precedent, or, be considered to be enforceable as a "past practice." In such case or cases, each case will be evaluated and acted upon by the Contractor as The Contractor sees fit.

22a. Ownership of Software


Unless otherwise indicated herein, or in a related scope of work, estimate, or, proposal, The Consultant is not selling a “software package” or "compiled software code." Rather, the consultant is selling application development work, coding work, (or other) products, services, consulting, or expertise.

However, where The Consultant is actually providing application development work, customization, and/or, the consultant is developing specifically assembled or compiled software applications, or functionality as "work product" as defined herein, or in a related estimate, proposal, or, scope of work, or, if The Consultant is setting up or configuring functionality within a commercially developed application, developed or owned by a third-party, or, is building the aforementioned work product in a commercial development “environment,” or solution, coding language, or software package, owned by a third-party, all such work is performed and offered "non-exclusively," for use by, and benefit of, "The Client," for the client’s own lawful use. The client shall possess a conditional use licence granted by the client, to use and operate such work product, for the allowed or stated use or uses of the work product as defined by the related scope of work, estimate, or, proposal only. Such lawful use is providing that, and contingent upon, The Client having paid, or to be paying on an ongoing basis, all associated development fees, and all required ongoing monthly or service fees, or other fees, as provided for in this agreement, proposal or related estimate, or as subsequently agreed by the parties, on an “on time” basis. Late payment or, non-payment of any or all such fees or charges will empower The Contractor to temporarily or permanently revoke any use licence granted to The Client by The Contractor, at which time The Client will immediately cease to use the work product, or compiled software, and, will delete all such copies of the compiled software code on instruction from The Consultant. Further, non-payment for continuing use of third-party licence seats for underlying technology, or, platforms, such as Zoho Corp. products, may prevent the use of the work product by The Client. Unless otherwise indicated in writing in the associated scope of work, or otherwise herein, or in subsequent written form with The Contractor’s consent, the client does not possess authority to sell or resell the source code or intellectual property, work product, or, solutions built pursuant to this agreement, if such work product is built on platforms owned by Zoho Corp, or, other third parties. Further, it is The Client’s responsibility to ensure that the client possesses an active account(s), licence(s), or, permission to use any necessary third-party software environment, platform, solution, coding language, or application described herein. The Consultant, unless stated otherwise in any related scope of work, estimate, or proposal, will not provide “source code” or “script” to the client as work product, and the client acknowledges that he/she/they/it does not own or possess any ongoing claim or rights to such source code or script, other than the conditional use licence granted by The Contractor, and, private lawful use by the client of the developed application(s) or solution(s) or work product. Use of developed applications or modules therein or thereof is not exclusive to The Client, and The Contractor may re-use or re-sell any developed code, script, modules, or applications at its sole and absolute discretion. The Client acknowledges that The Consultant may use or employ techniques, training, modules, procedures, or methods, in developing applications for the client which are proprietary to the consultant, or are the consultant’s intellectual property. The Client acknowledges The Contractor’s ownership of the source code or script developed by The Contractor, and forever waives any claim to ownership, rights, or future use of the source code or script. Further, if the compiled application(s), solutions or development work are built using a framework, environment, software, or development language(s) owned by a third-party such as Zoho Corp., even where The Consultant may have been granted resale rights to a compiled software solution, the underlying framework, development environment, software, or, development language(s) used by The Consultant to build the compiled software solution remain the sole property of the third-party provider, notwithstanding any language herein, or, understanding by or of the client to the contrary. This agreement DOES NOT extend any "ownership" of the developed code or software applications as provided by The Contractor as work product, or, any development environment, language(s), platform, code, or, software upon which the work product is built upon or mounted. This also applies for any integrated software owned by third-parties; The Client's rights extend only to the use of the work products, or cpompiled software solutions, as specifically defined by the terms and conditions described above and herein, or, by any governing third-party contract. No other ownership or rights accruing to The Client are implied or granted.
