Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”, “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between Akshar Group Technologies (“AGT”, “Company”, “we”, “us”) and the individual or entity accessing our website or contracting our engineering, ERP, commerce, or advisory services (“Client”, “you”).

By accessing https://akshargrouptechnologies.com, submitting an inquiry, or executing a Statement of Work (SOW), Proposal, or Service Agreement referencing these Terms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement.

AGT provides professional technology consulting, architecture design, software engineering, Odoo ERP implementation, digital commerce development, and cloud integration services. Specific project deliverables, sprint schedules, milestones, and commercial fees will be detailed in mutually executed Statements of Work (“SOW”) or Project Proposals.

• Order of Precedence: In the event of a direct conflict between these Terms and an executed SOW signed by both parties, the terms of the specific SOW shall prevail.
• Change Requests: Any modification to project scope, architecture, or timelines must be documented via a formal Change Order signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

To ensure project success and adherence to estimated sprint schedules, Client agrees to:

• AGT Background IP: AGT retains ownership of pre-existing proprietary frameworks, boilerplates, developer tools, and generic code libraries developed prior to or independently of the SOW. AGT grants Client a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to utilize such embedded tools solely as part of the deliverable.
• Open-Source Components: Open-source libraries (e.g. React, Next.js, Odoo Community, PostgreSQL) remain subject to their respective open-source licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, LGPL).
• Third-Party Licenses: Client is responsible for procuring any proprietary third-party commercial licenses (e.g. Adobe Commerce, Odoo Enterprise, Shopify Plus app subscriptions) required to run their ecosystem.

Invoicing schedules, payment currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, AED, INR), and retainer structures are outlined in each SOW. Standard terms:

Both parties agree that all confidential, proprietary, or technical information disclosed during discussions or engagement shall remain strictly confidential.

• Neither party shall disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to third parties without prior written consent.
• Access is restricted solely to employees, contractors, and legal advisors with a strict need-to-know and under confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than these Terms.
• Confidentiality obligations survive termination of this Agreement for a minimum of 5 years (and perpetually for trade secrets).

Warranty exclusions apply to issues caused by unauthorized third-party code modifications, unapproved server environment changes, third-party API deprecations, or force majeure events.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or business interruption.

• Termination for Cause: Either party may terminate an SOW immediately upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 calendar days of written notice.
• Termination for Convenience: Unless stated otherwise in an SOW, ongoing retainers may be terminated with 30 days prior written notice.
• Post-Termination Transition: Upon termination, Client will pay for all work completed and expenses incurred up to the effective termination date, whereupon AGT will deliver all completed code assets.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Gujarat, India (or the specific jurisdiction agreed in a signed Master Services Agreement).

In the event of any controversy or dispute, the parties agree to first engage in good-faith executive negotiations for at least 30 calendar days before initiating formal arbitration proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
