What we put in writing before any work starts.
A system is only as dependable as the agreement around it.
Ownership is settled first.
Who owns the code, the designs and the data is written into the agreement before the first line is built. We do not reuse your code or your data for anyone else without your permission.
Scope has two lists.
What is included, and what is not. Hosting, third-party fees, training and migration are each named as in or out.
Changes are priced before they are built.
A new idea mid-project becomes a short change request with its cost and its effect on the date. You decide with both in front of you.
Done has a definition.
Acceptance criteria are agreed at the start, so the end of the project is a checklist and not an argument.
Payments follow milestones.
You pay as agreed pieces of work are delivered, on a schedule you saw before signing.
Support has edges.
Hours, response times and what falls outside the plan are stated, so nobody is guessing at two in the morning.
Your data stays where you put it.
Client data does not appear in public demos or get passed to outside tools without your authorisation.
Orbit
NOVA's own product, in early access.
Alongside client work we build and run a product of our own. Orbit is opening to a small number of early teams. We would rather show you where it is today than describe where it might be.
You have just written most of a brief.
This is the first document we would write together. Yours already has a start. Correct anything, add your details, and send it.
