03 Services

McSbuSing provides custom software development services. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each engagement are defined in a written Proposal or Service Agreement issued to the client before work commences.

• No work begins before a signed agreement and any required deposit have been received.
• Discovery sessions booked via this website are free, non-binding consultations to explore project requirements.
• Any estimates or timelines provided during a discovery session are indicative only until formalised in a written proposal.
• McSbuSing reserves the right to decline any engagement at its discretion.

04 Client Obligations

To enable McSbuSing to deliver services effectively, clients agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information required for the project.
• Make required personnel or decision-makers available for scheduled meetings and reviews.
• Review and provide feedback on deliverables within agreed timeframes.
• Supply any third-party licences, credentials, or assets needed for the project.
• Not use McSbuSing's deliverables for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose.

Delays caused by the client's failure to meet these obligations may result in revised delivery timelines and/or additional charges.

05 Intellectual Property

Ownership of intellectual property created during an engagement is governed by the project's Service Agreement. The default position is:

• Client-commissioned work: Upon full payment, all custom code, designs, and deliverables specifically created for the client transfer to the client.
• Pre-existing IP: Any frameworks, libraries, tools, or components developed by McSbuSing prior to or independently of the engagement remain the sole property of McSbuSing. The client receives a non-exclusive licence to use such components within the delivered solution.
• Open-source components: Third-party open-source libraries remain subject to their respective licences.

All website content, branding, and marketing materials on mcsbusing.co.za are owned by McSbuSing and may not be reproduced without written permission.

06 Payment Terms

Payment terms are specified in each project's Service Agreement. Standard terms are:

• A deposit (typically 40–50% of the project value) is required before development commences.
• Milestone payments are invoiced as agreed in the project schedule.
• Final payment is due before source code, deployment credentials, or final deliverables are handed over.
• Invoices are payable within 7 calendar days of issue unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Overdue invoices attract interest at the rate of 2% per month compounded from the due date.
• All prices are quoted in South African Rand (ZAR) and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise.

07 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat as confidential any non-public information disclosed in the course of the engagement, including business processes, technical specifications, pricing, and client data.

• McSbuSing will not disclose client confidential information to third parties without written consent, except where required by law.
• McSbuSing may reference the client's name and a general description of the project in its portfolio unless the client requests otherwise in writing.
• Confidentiality obligations survive termination of the agreement for a period of 3 years.

08 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law:

• McSbuSing's total liability for any claim arising from an engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific deliverable giving rise to the claim.
• McSbuSing is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of revenue, loss of data, or business interruption.
• McSbuSing is not responsible for third-party services, APIs, or infrastructure failures (e.g. cloud hosting, payment gateways, SMS providers).
