3. Pricing & Quotes

The standard daily rate is 275€/day (excluding VAT — micro-entrepreneur VAT exemption under article 293 B of the French General Tax Code). All quotes are provided per project based on the defined scope. Prices are fixed once the quote is signed. Any scope change requested by the client after signing may result in a revised quote.

4. Payment Terms

A deposit of 30% of the total quote is due upon signing, before any work begins. The remaining balance is invoiced upon delivery of the final deliverable. Invoices are payable within 15 days of issue. In the event of late payment, a penalty equal to 1.5× the legal interest rate per month will apply, plus a fixed indemnity of 40€ for recovery costs as required by French law (article L441-10 of the Commercial Code).

5. Delivery & Client Obligations

Delivery timelines are estimates and depend on the client's timely provision of required content, feedback, and access credentials. Devbrek cannot be held responsible for delays caused by the client's failure to provide necessary elements. The client is solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of all content, data, and materials provided.

6. Cancellation

If the client cancels a project after work has begun, the deposit is non-refundable. Work completed up to the date of cancellation will be invoiced proportionally to the total quote. Devbrek reserves the right to suspend work in the event of non-payment without prior notice.

7. Intellectual Property

All code, designs, and assets produced by Devbrek remain the exclusive property of Devbrek until full payment is received. Upon receipt of full payment, ownership is transferred to the client. Devbrek retains the right to mention the project and display non-confidential elements in its portfolio, unless the client explicitly requests otherwise in writing before signing the quote.

8. AI Features (Emile)

The Emile AI assistant is provided for informational purposes only. Conversations are processed via Mistral AI (Mistral AI SAS, Paris, France) and are not stored permanently. Emile's responses do not constitute professional, legal, or financial advice. Devbrek cannot be held liable for any decision made based on Emile's responses.
