Terms of Service

"Drox Dev", "we" and "us" refer to the software engineering company based at Hilite Business Park, Kozhikode, Kerala, India. By using droxdev.com you accept the terms in sections 2 to 4. Sections 5 onward describe how we contract for work and apply once an engagement is agreed.

You may read, share and quote this site freely. You may not attempt to disrupt it, access it by automated means at a rate that degrades it for others, or misrepresent your identity when contacting us.

Text, design, code and images on droxdev.com belong to Drox Dev or to our clients, and are shown with permission. Client names, logos and product screenshots remain the property of those clients.

Information on this site — including timelines, capabilities and example outcomes — is provided in good faith for general guidance. It is not a quotation, a commitment, or professional advice for your specific situation. Nothing here forms a contract until we both sign one.

Work begins with a written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, price and payment schedule. Work starts once that proposal is accepted in writing. We offer fixed-price projects, dedicated team arrangements, monthly technology-partner retainers, product partnerships and technical consulting; the applicable model is named in the proposal.

A fixed-price proposal covers the scope described in it. Work outside that scope is quoted separately before it is started — we will not invoice you for something you did not agree to. Where a change affects the timeline, we say so at the same time as the price.

Delivery depends on timely input from you: access to systems and stakeholders, content and data, and decisions at agreed review points. Where a delay originates with you, timelines shift accordingly and we will tell you the revised dates in writing.

On full payment, all custom code, designs and documentation produced specifically for your project transfer to you outright. You own the deliverables.

Two exceptions, stated plainly: third-party open-source components stay under their own licences, and any pre-existing Drox Dev tooling or internal libraries used to build your system remain ours, licensed to you perpetually and royalty-free for use with the delivered work. Any such component is identified in the proposal before you sign.

We treat your business information as confidential and will not disclose it without permission. We will sign your NDA, or provide ours, before receiving confidential material. We will not name you publicly as a client, or publish a case study about your project, without your written consent.

Invoices are payable within the period stated in the proposal, normally 15 days. Fixed-price projects are typically invoiced in instalments against milestones. Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance. We may pause work on materially overdue accounts after written notice.

Either party may end an engagement with 30 days' written notice. You pay for work completed and for costs already committed up to the end of the notice period; we hand over all completed deliverables, source code, credentials and documentation. There is no exit fee and we do not hold work hostage.

We warrant that delivered software materially conforms to the agreed specification, and we will fix defects reported within 30 days of delivery at no charge. Enhancements, new features and changes arising from third-party or environment changes are quoted separately. Ongoing support is available under a separate retainer.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, our total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid to us under that engagement, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss of data where that data was not in our custody.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Kozhikode, Kerala have exclusive jurisdiction — unless the signed engagement agreement states otherwise.
