Terms of Service

Last updated: February 15, 2026 · Version: 2026-02-15-v1

hireanirudha.com ("Anirudha") is a software development service owned and operated by Talmale Technologies (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), a company incorporated under the laws of India, with CIN: U62099MH2025OPC446202, and registered office at 10th Floor, NESCO Tower 4, C Wing, Western Express Highway, Goregaon East, Mumbai — 400063, Maharashtra, India.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the software development services ("Services") provided through hireanirudha.com and any associated platforms. All references to the "Company", "we", "us", or "our" refer to Talmale Technologies (OPC) Pvt. Ltd.

By accessing our platform, creating an account, adding funds, or engaging our Services, you ("Client", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

1. Eligibility and Representations

By using our Services, you represent and warrant that:

  1. You are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.
  2. If acting on behalf of a business or legal entity, you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
  3. You are engaging our Services for business or professional purposes, not as a consumer.
  4. All information you provide (including your name, email, and project details) is accurate and not misleading.
  5. You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction in connection with your use of our Services.
  6. You are not located in, or a national of, any country subject to comprehensive international trade sanctions.

2. Nature of Services

Talmale Technologies provides custom software development services including but not limited to web development, API development, database design, bug fixes, integrations, and related technical work. We utilise proprietary tools, processes, and methodologies to deliver results efficiently. The specific tools, technologies, and workflows used in the delivery of Services are at our sole discretion.

All Services are provided on a best-effort basis. While we strive for the highest quality, software development involves inherent complexities and we do not guarantee that all deliverables will be free from bugs, errors, or defects.

3. Billing Model — Pay As You Go

⚡ All Services are billed on a pay-as-you-go (time and materials) basis, not fixed price. There are no fixed-price projects unless explicitly agreed in writing.

Our billing operates as follows:

  1. Prepaid credits: You add funds to your account balance before work begins. Work is performed against this balance.
  2. Usage-based deduction: Your balance is consumed as work is performed, based on the complexity and time required for each task.
  3. No hidden charges: You can see your current balance at all times in the chat portal.
  4. Work stops when balance is depleted: If your balance reaches zero, work on your project will pause until additional funds are added.

3.1 Debugging, Revisions, and Additional Work

Debugging, troubleshooting, revisions, iterations, and any work performed after initial delivery are all billable activities that consume your account balance, just like any other work. There is no concept of "free debugging" or "unlimited revisions" included in any payment.

If you request changes, fixes, or debugging after initial delivery, those requests will be treated as new work and billed accordingly. If your balance is insufficient, you will need to add funds before work can continue.

3.2 Estimates Are Not Guarantees

Any cost or time estimates provided are approximations based on our understanding at the time. They are not binding quotations. Actual costs may vary based on complexity discovered during development.

4. Payments

4.1 Payment Methods

We accept payments through Razorpay (for clients in India) and PayPal (for international clients). By making a payment, you agree to the respective payment processor's terms of service in addition to these Terms.

4.2 All Payments Are Final and Non-Refundable

💰 All payments made to Talmale Technologies are final, non-refundable, non-cancellable, and non-creditable. By making a payment, you acknowledge and agree to this policy.

Once funds are added to your account, they are considered earned upon payment. This is because:

  1. Work may begin immediately upon receiving your request, consuming resources and time.
  2. Software development involves intellectual effort that cannot be "returned" like a physical product.
  3. Our pricing model reflects competitive, usage-based rates that account for the non-refundable nature of services.

If you are unsatisfied with a specific deliverable, you may communicate your concerns and we will make reasonable efforts to address them — subject to available balance in your account. Dissatisfaction does not entitle you to a refund.

4.3 Chargebacks and Disputes

You agree not to initiate chargebacks, payment reversals, or payment disputes with your bank, credit card company, PayPal, Razorpay, or any other payment processor for services that have been rendered. If you initiate an unjustified chargeback:

  1. Your account will be immediately suspended.
  2. We reserve the right to contest the chargeback with full evidence of service delivery including chat transcripts, message logs, timestamps, and delivered code.
  3. You may be liable for chargeback fees, administrative costs, and any losses we incur.
  4. We reserve the right to pursue legal remedies under applicable Indian law.

4.4 Currency and Exchange Rates

Payments are processed in the currency displayed at the time of payment (USD for international clients via PayPal; INR for Indian clients via Razorpay). All currency conversions are handled by the respective payment processor at their prevailing exchange rates. We are not responsible for exchange rate fluctuations, conversion fees, intermediary bank charges, or any difference between the amount you pay and the amount we receive. The amount credited to your account balance is the net amount received by us after all processor fees and conversions.

5. Service Delivery and Acceptance

5.1 Delivery Through Chat Portal

All service delivery, communication, and work product are provided through our secure chat portal. The chat portal serves as the definitive record of all communications, deliverables, and service interactions.

5.2 Implicit Acceptance

When we deliver work product through the chat portal, and you: (a) use, deploy, or incorporate the deliverable in any way; (b) do not raise an objection within 48 hours of delivery; or (c) request additional work based on the deliverable — then the deliverable is deemed accepted and constitutes acknowledgement that the service was rendered satisfactorily.

5.3 Evidence of Service

We maintain comprehensive logs of all interactions including messages (with timestamps), files delivered, code shared, and work performed. These records constitute evidence of service delivery and may be used in any dispute.

6. Limitation of Liability

⚠️ Please read this section carefully. It limits our liability and your ability to make claims against us.

6.1 No Warranties

All Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

6.2 No Guarantee of Outcomes

We do not guarantee that any software or deliverable will be free from bugs, errors, or vulnerabilities; that deliverables will meet all your requirements; that deliverables will be compatible with all systems; that deliverables will achieve any specific business outcome; or that services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

6.3 No Liability for Consequential Damages

Under no circumstances shall Talmale Technologies, its founder, employees, agents, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to: loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities; downtime, service interruptions, or system failures; security breaches, malware, or unauthorised access related to our deliverables; damage to third-party systems, data, or reputation; or any third-party claims. This applies regardless of legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

6.4 Maximum Liability Cap

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising from these Terms or our Services shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

6.5 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for: backing up your data and systems before requesting work; testing deliverables in staging environments before production deployment; reviewing and approving deployments; maintaining your own security practices; and any consequences of deploying our deliverables without adequate testing.

7. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use, modify, and deploy the delivered work product. We retain the right to use general knowledge, techniques, and reusable components for other clients.

7.1 Third-Party Code and Libraries

Deliverables may incorporate open-source libraries, frameworks, or third-party components governed by their own licences (MIT, Apache, GPL, etc.). You are responsible for complying with those licences. We do not warrant that any deliverable is free from third-party intellectual property claims.

7.2 Your Content and Credentials

Any credentials, API keys, access tokens, or login details you share with us are shared at your own risk. You are responsible for revoking or rotating any credentials shared with us after the engagement ends. We are not liable for any unauthorised access resulting from credentials you provided.

8. Scope of Work

8.1 No Implied Scope

The scope of work for each task is limited to what is explicitly described in the chat conversation. There is no implied scope. If you ask us to "build a login page," that means a login page — not a full authentication system with password reset, two-factor authentication, email verification, and session management, unless those features are explicitly requested and agreed upon.

8.2 Scope Changes

Any change in requirements, additions, or modifications to the original request constitutes new work and will be billed accordingly. Phrases such as "can you also," "while you're at it," or "one more thing" all constitute scope changes that consume your account balance.

8.3 No Ongoing Maintenance Obligation

Delivery of a project does not create an ongoing obligation for us to maintain, update, host, or support the deliverable. Maintenance, bug fixes after acceptance, security updates, dependency updates, and hosting are separate services that require separate engagement and payment.

9. Client Obligations

9.1 Cooperation

You agree to provide timely and complete information, requirements, access, and feedback necessary for us to perform the Services. Delays caused by your failure to cooperate (including delayed feedback, unclear requirements, or unavailable access) are not our responsibility and do not entitle you to any compensation, extension, or refund.

9.2 Legal Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your project, application, or use of our deliverables complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), accessibility standards, export controls, and financial regulations. We do not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice.

9.3 Prohibited Use

You shall not use our Services for any illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or unethical purpose, including but not limited to: building phishing sites, malware, spam tools, or any application designed to deceive, defraud, or harm others. We reserve the right to immediately terminate your account and forfeit your balance if we determine your project violates this clause.

10. Confidentiality

We treat all information shared through the chat portal as confidential and will not disclose your project details to third parties except as required by law. You agree not to disclose our proprietary tools, processes, or pricing to third parties.

11. Communication and Conduct

All communications must be conducted through our chat portal. We are not responsible for instructions, requests, or agreements made through any other channel (email, phone, social media, etc.) unless explicitly confirmed in the chat portal.

We reserve the right to refuse service to, or terminate the account of, any client who engages in abusive, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, or otherwise unprofessional behaviour towards our team. In such cases, any remaining balance is forfeited.

12. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, abusive behaviour, attempted chargebacks, or use of Services for illegal purposes. Upon termination, any remaining balance is forfeited and non-refundable.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles of any jurisdiction. By using our Services, you expressly consent to the application of Indian law regardless of your country of residence or the country from which you access our Services.

13.2 Jurisdiction

Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. You irrevocably waive any objection to the laying of venue in Mumbai and any claim that proceedings brought in Mumbai are in an inconvenient forum.

13.3 Mandatory Arbitration

Before initiating legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation for 30 days. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be referred to binding arbitration seated in Mumbai, India under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, conducted in English by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon. The arbitral award shall be final and binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. India is a signatory to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, and any award may be enforced accordingly in signatory countries.

13.4 Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to a jury trial. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in any class, consolidated, or representative action.

13.5 Costs of Dispute

Each party shall bear its own costs and legal fees in connection with any dispute, unless the arbitrator or court determines that a claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the losing party shall bear all reasonable costs and fees of the prevailing party.

14. International Clients

🌍 If you are located outside India, the following additional terms apply to you.

14.1 Consent to Indian Jurisdiction

By using our Services from outside India, you expressly and irrevocably consent to: (a) the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and arbitral tribunals in Mumbai, India; (b) the application of Indian law to these Terms and all disputes; and (c) the enforcement of any Indian court judgment or arbitral award in your home jurisdiction. You waive any defence of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens.

14.2 No Consumer Protection Override

You acknowledge that you are engaging our Services in a business-to-business capacity and not as a consumer. To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction, you waive any consumer protection rights, cooling-off periods, or mandatory refund rights that may otherwise apply to consumer transactions in your country. If any local law mandates rights that cannot be waived, our liability shall be limited to the minimum extent permitted by that law.

14.3 Export and Sanctions Compliance

You represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, any country subject to comprehensive international sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted party list. We reserve the right to refuse service to any person or entity at our sole discretion.

14.4 Language

These Terms are drafted in English. If these Terms are translated into any other language, the English version shall prevail in the event of any conflict or ambiguity.

14.5 Data Transfer

By using our Services, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data (including personal data, project details, and communications) to and within India. We process data in accordance with applicable Indian data protection laws. If you are located in a jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions (such as the EU/EEA under GDPR), your use of our Services constitutes explicit consent to such transfer.

15. Statute of Limitations

Any claim arising from or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within six (6) months of the event giving rise to the claim. Claims filed after this period are permanently barred.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Talmale Technologies from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of our Services, violation of these Terms, violation of law, or third-party claims related to your use of our deliverables.

17. No Partnership or Employment

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, or agency relationship between you and Talmale Technologies. We are an independent service provider. You have no authority to bind us in any way.

18. Non-Disparagement

You agree not to make false, misleading, or defamatory statements about Talmale Technologies, its founder, team, services, or deliverables in any public forum, review site, social media platform, or other medium. We reserve the right to pursue legal remedies for defamatory or malicious statements.

19. Non-Solicitation

During the term of your engagement with us and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, you agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, or hire any person or entity that you become aware of through our Services for the purpose of having them provide services to you outside of our platform. This includes but is not limited to any team member, contractor, or affiliate whose involvement you learn of through our delivery of Services.

20. Privacy

We collect and process personal data (including your name, email address, Google account information, IP address, and project communications) in connection with providing our Services. By using our Services, you consent to such collection and processing. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with payment processors (PayPal, Razorpay) as necessary to process your payments. For details, refer to our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

21. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for delay or failure due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, war, pandemic, internet outages, or third-party service disruptions.

22. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, add to, or remove provisions from these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on our website with a revised version number and "Last updated" date. For material changes (changes to payment terms, liability limits, dispute resolution, or other provisions that significantly affect your rights), we will require you to review and re-accept the updated Terms before continuing to use our Services. For non-material changes (clarifications, formatting, or minor updates), your continued use of our Services constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Each version of these Terms is identified by a version number. Your acceptance of a specific version is recorded with a timestamp in our systems. The version in effect at the time of any particular interaction or dispute is the version you most recently accepted.

23. Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Talmale Technologies.
