2. Updates to the Terms
3. Services & Engagements
- Proposals & SOWs — A project begins only when an ATC SOW is signed by both parties. The SOW controls scope, deliverables, timelines, fees, revision limits, and any service-specific terms.
- Client Inputs — You agree to supply assets, information, passwords, and approvals promptly. Delays or omissions may extend delivery timelines and/or incur additional fees.
- Change Management — Requests outside the signed SOW are quoted in writing and commence only upon your approval of a change order.
4. Fees, Invoicing & Taxes
- Standard Billing — Unless the SOW states otherwise, invoices are 50 % upon signing and 50 % upon milestone or project completion.
- Payment Terms — Invoices are due within 15 calendar days. Past-due balances accrue interest at 1.5 % per month.
- Currency & Taxes — Quotes are in U.S. dollars (USD) or Indian rupees (INR) and exclude applicable taxes, duties, or withholding; you are responsible for such amounts.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
- ATC Pre-existing Materials — Frameworks, code, templates, and know-how created or owned by ATC before or outside the project remain ATC property.
- Client Materials — You warrant that any text, images, trademarks, or data you supply belong to you or that you hold valid rights to use them.
- Project Deliverables — Upon receipt of full payment, all final deliverables created specifically for you under an SOW become your property. ATC retains its pre-existing assets and may display non-confidential portions of the work in its portfolio unless the SOW states otherwise.

7. Confidentiality
Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by either party.

9. Disclaimers

10. Limitation of Liability
11. Indemnification

Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach if the breach is not cured within 10 days of written notice. Upon termination:

13. Governing Law & Venue
These Terms and any SOW are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Polk County, Iowa, and each party irrevocably consents to such jurisdiction and venue.
14. Dispute Resolution (Optional Mediation)
Before either party files suit, we agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through mediation in Des Moines, Iowa. Mediation costs will be shared equally. If mediation fails, litigation may proceed in the courts specified above.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be replaced by an enforceable term that most closely reflects the original intent.
16. Entire Agreement
