Terms of Service

These terms apply to engineering services provided by Embedura (India) — embedded firmware, PCB design, IoT apps and related work. A written quote or agreement for your project can add to or change these terms; if they differ, the written quote or agreement wins.

1. Quotes and scope

• Every project starts with a written quote that lists the scope, price, milestones and expected timeline.
• Prices on this website are "starting from" prices. The final price is the one in your quote.
• A quote is valid for 14 days unless it says otherwise.
• Work outside the agreed scope (new features, changed requirements, new hardware) is quoted separately before we start it.

2. Payments

• 50% advance is paid before work starts. The advance is not refundable once work has started.
• The remaining 50% is paid before the final source code and design files are handed over. Larger projects may be split into paid milestones.
• Minimum order: $150 (₹8,000 for clients in India).
• Hourly work: $35 per hour (₹2,000 per hour in India), billed as agreed.
• Urgent delivery: +25% on the quoted price.
• International clients pay in USD; clients in India pay in INR. Bank and transfer fees on the client's side are paid by the client.

3. Hardware and third-party costs

Development boards, parts, PCB manufacturing, assembly, shipping, paid software licences, cloud services and certification or lab testing are paid by the client, either directly or in advance.

4. Revisions

Each quote includes 2 rounds of changes within the agreed scope. Further changes are charged at the hourly rate or quoted separately.

5. Delivery and support

• Delivery includes source code or design files, build/flash instructions and short documentation, as listed in the quote.
• Work is tested on real hardware matching the agreed setup.
• 14 days of free bug-fix support start on delivery. This covers bugs in our work against the agreed scope — not new features, changed requirements or problems caused by other code or hardware.
• Timelines depend on the client sending answers, files, hardware and payments on time.

6. Ownership

After full payment, you own the code and design files made specifically for your project. Open-source libraries, vendor SDKs and tools stay under their own licences. We may reuse general know-how and non-project-specific code, but never your confidential details.

7. Confidentiality

We keep your project details confidential and will sign an NDA on request. We will not show your project publicly without your written permission.

8. Limits

• We don't take on mains-voltage (230 V AC) designs, complex RF design, 4+ layer high-speed boards, or graded student projects.
• We design with good practice, but we don't guarantee certification (such as CE, FCC or WPC). The client is responsible for certification, safety approvals and how the product is used.
• Our total liability for any project is limited to the amount paid for that project. We are not liable for indirect losses such as lost profit or data.

9. Cancellation

Either side can stop a project with written notice. Completed and in-progress work up to that point is paid for; the advance covers work already done. Files for paid work are handed over.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India.
