Terms of Service

Last Updated: May 1, 2025  ·  Effective Date: May 1, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using our website or engaging our services. By accessing brihatinfotech.com or commissioning any work from Brihat Infotech, you agree to be bound by these terms in full.

Note: These Terms apply to all visitors of our website and all clients who engage Brihat Infotech for services. Client-specific terms in a signed project agreement or SOW take precedence over these general Terms where they conflict.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Brihat Infotech website (brihatinfotech.com) or by engaging Brihat Infotech Private Limited for any services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations of India. If you are entering into these terms on behalf of a company or legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must immediately stop using our website and services. Brihat Infotech reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the website or services after any such modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Services

Brihat Infotech provides technology services including but not limited to: custom software development, web and mobile application development, SaaS product engineering, AI and automation integration, digital platform engineering, data intelligence, staff augmentation, and related IT consulting. The specific scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for each client engagement are governed exclusively by a separate Statement of Work (SOW), Master Service Agreement (MSA), or Project Agreement executed between Brihat Infotech and the client. In case of conflict between these Terms and a signed project agreement, the project agreement shall prevail.

3. Client Responsibilities

The client agrees and acknowledges their responsibility to: (a) provide accurate, complete, and timely information required for project planning and execution; (b) designate a single authorised point of contact with the authority to make decisions and approve deliverables; (c) review and provide written feedback on deliverables within the timeframe specified in the project agreement — failure to respond within the agreed review period shall be deemed approval; (d) obtain, maintain, and provide access to all necessary third-party accounts, licences, APIs, and credentials needed for the project; (e) ensure that all content, data, and requirements provided to Brihat Infotech comply with applicable laws, and do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights; (f) maintain adequate backups of all existing systems and data prior to any integration or migration work. Brihat Infotech shall not be held liable for delays or deficiencies caused by the client's failure to fulfil these responsibilities.

4. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full and final payment of all outstanding invoices for a project, Brihat Infotech assigns to the client all rights, title, and interest in the custom code, designs, and deliverables created exclusively for that project. Notwithstanding the above, Brihat Infotech retains perpetual, irrevocable ownership of: (a) all pre-existing proprietary tools, libraries, frameworks, components, and methodologies used in or incorporated into the deliverables; (b) general software engineering know-how, processes, and techniques developed independently; (c) open-source components, which remain subject to their respective open-source licences; (d) any tools, templates, or internal systems created during the project that are not specific to the client's business. The client is granted a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use any retained Brihat Infotech intellectual property that is embedded in the deliverables solely as part of those deliverables. Brihat Infotech reserves the right to reference the existence of the engagement and use non-confidential project details in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, unless the client has requested confidentiality in writing prior to project commencement.

5. Payment Terms

All payment terms are specified in the applicable project agreement or Statement of Work. Unless otherwise agreed in writing: (a) invoices are due and payable within 15 calendar days of the date of issuance; (b) late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on the outstanding balance from the due date until the date of payment; (c) Brihat Infotech reserves the right to suspend or pause all work, access, and deliverables immediately upon any invoice becoming overdue by more than 7 days, without any liability to the client; (d) all disputed invoices must be raised in writing within 7 calendar days of receipt, with specific written justification — failure to raise a dispute within this window constitutes unconditional acceptance of the invoice; (e) all prices are exclusive of applicable taxes including GST, which shall be charged at the prevailing rate; (f) for international clients, payments must be made in the currency specified in the invoice, and any bank charges or wire transfer fees are the responsibility of the client; (g) Brihat Infotech reserves the right to withhold final deliverables, code repositories, or production credentials until all outstanding invoices are fully settled.

6. Change Requests

Any changes to the agreed scope of work, deliverables, timelines, or specifications must be submitted in writing by the client and are subject to Brihat Infotech's review and approval. Brihat Infotech will provide a written Change Request (CR) document detailing the impact of the requested change on timeline, cost, and scope. Work on any change will only commence after the client provides written approval of the CR. Verbal approvals for scope changes are not binding on Brihat Infotech. Requests that materially alter the agreed deliverables may result in revised pricing and timelines at Brihat Infotech's sole discretion.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality of the other party's proprietary information, technical data, business plans, client lists, pricing, financial information, and project details disclosed in the course of the engagement ('Confidential Information'). Each party agrees not to disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the other party's prior written consent, and to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing obligations under the agreement. This obligation survives the termination or expiry of the engagement for a period of three (3) years. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information; (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, court order, or government authority, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party prompt written notice to seek a protective order. Brihat Infotech shall execute a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) upon request prior to any detailed project discussion.

8. Warranties and Disclaimers

Brihat Infotech warrants that: (a) services will be performed in a professional, competent, and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards; (b) custom deliverables will materially conform to the specifications documented and agreed upon in the Statement of Work; (c) Brihat Infotech has the full right, power, and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under service agreements; (d) to Brihat Infotech's knowledge, deliverables will not knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS SECTION, THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE'.

11. Post-Launch Support and Bug Warranty

Unless otherwise specified in the project agreement, Brihat Infotech provides a thirty (30) day post-launch warranty period during which it will fix bugs that are directly attributable to Brihat Infotech's work at no additional cost. This warranty does not cover: (a) issues caused by changes made to the codebase by the client or any third party after handover; (b) issues arising from the client's infrastructure, third-party APIs, or hosting environments not managed by Brihat Infotech; (c) new feature requests or enhancements; (d) issues arising from the client's failure to follow documented operational procedures. After the warranty period, ongoing support is available under a separate support retainer agreement.

Either party may terminate a service agreement by providing thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. Brihat Infotech may terminate any agreement immediately and without notice upon: (a) the client's material breach of these Terms or the project agreement that remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice from Brihat Infotech; (b) non-payment of any invoice outstanding for more than thirty (30) days; (c) the client becoming insolvent, filing for bankruptcy, or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) the client engaging in fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive conduct. Upon termination for any reason: (i) the client shall immediately pay all fees for work completed up to the date of termination; (ii) each party shall return or destroy the other's Confidential Information upon request; (iii) Brihat Infotech will provide completed work-in-progress deliverables only upon full payment of all outstanding fees.

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or any project agreement, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days.

The seat and venue of arbitration shall be Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English by a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by both parties.
