Terms & Conditions

01Acceptance of these terms

By using wafflesamurai.dev (the "Site") or engaging Waffle Samurai ("we", "us") for development work, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Site or engage our services.

02About us

Waffle Samurai is a development studio operating under that trading name. We build our own gaming products and take on fixed-scope custom development engagements for clients. We are remote-first and operate internationally.

03Use of this website

• The content on this Site — copy, design, code, and our own product names — is provided for general information about our studio and services.
• We try to keep information accurate and up to date, but pricing, availability, and timelines shown on the Site (for example "starting cost", "typical build", or slot availability) are indicative and subject to change until confirmed in writing for a specific engagement.
• You may not copy, reproduce, or repurpose the Site's design or content for commercial use without our permission.
• We give no warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses, and we're not liable for any loss arising from your use of it.

04Enquiries and quotes

Submitting the contact form is an enquiry, not a booking or a contract. Nothing on this Site constitutes a binding offer to provide services at a specific price. A project only begins once we've agreed a written scope, price, and timeline together, and you've signed off on it.

05How we work with clients

Custom development engagements generally follow the process described on the Site:

• Intake. We map the project and agree a fixed scope and fixed price before any build work starts.
• Architecture. We design data models, hosting, and deployment before writing UI code.
• Build. Work happens in a shared repository with regular demos and visibility into progress.
• Ship & support. A period of post-launch support is included, with an optional ongoing retainer afterward.

Invoicing is typically split 40% on sign-off, 40% at first demo, and 20% on launch, in GBP, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the scope changes mid-build, we'll re-quote the new work and you approve the additional cost before we proceed.

06Intellectual property

Unless a signed agreement says otherwise, source code developed specifically for your project is transferred to you (typically via your own GitHub organisation) once the final invoice for that engagement is paid in full. We may retain the right to reuse general-purpose components, tooling, and know-how developed during the engagement across other projects, and we may reference completed work in our own portfolio unless you've asked us not to.

07Confidentiality

We treat information you share with us about your project as confidential and won't disclose it to third parties beyond what's needed to deliver the work, except where we're legally required to. A mutual NDA can be signed on request before detailed discussions begin.

08Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim relating to the Site or a services engagement is limited to the fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of profit or data, except where such liability cannot be excluded by law.

09Termination

Either party may end an ongoing engagement or retainer with reasonable written notice, as set out in the specific agreement for that engagement. Fees for work completed up to the point of termination remain payable.

10Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless a specific client agreement states otherwise.

11Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
