Terms
Last updated November 6, 2026
Terms for using this website, plus a plain-English summary of how client projects work: payments, ownership, warranty and confidentiality.
These terms cover your use of andrevillanueva.com, run by me, Andre Villanueva, an independent developer in Los Angeles, California. The second half summarizes how client projects work, so you know what to expect before we talk.
Using this website
You're welcome to read, share and link to this site. The information here is provided as-is, for general information. I try to keep it accurate and current, but I don't promise it's complete or error-free, and nothing on this site is a binding offer. Prices and terms for your project are the ones in your written quote.
Please don't misuse the site, for example by sending spam through the forms, trying to break in, or copying the site to pass it off as your own.
Intellectual property
The text, images, design and code of this website belong to me unless noted otherwise. App names, icons and screenshots belong to Bang Bang Studios. Client work shown here is described with permission or without identifying details. Other companies' names and trademarks, such as Apple and the App Store, belong to their owners.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites, such as the App Store, GitHub and YouTube. I'm not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.
Client projects
Everything below is a summary. Each project is governed by a separate written agreement or quote that we both accept before work starts. If anything here differs from your written agreement, the agreement wins.
Quotes and scope
Projects are priced with a fixed quote based on an agreed scope. If you want to change the scope, I'll give you a written price for the change before doing the work. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval.
Payment milestones
Projects over $3,000 are paid in four equal parts: 25% to start, 25% at design approval, 25% when the beta is ready, and 25% at launch. Projects of $3,000 or less are paid 50% to start and 50% on delivery. The strategy session fee ($250) is credited toward the project if you go ahead. If you cancel before any work starts, your deposit is refunded in full. After work begins, completed milestones are not refundable. Accepted payment methods: Bank transfer (ACH or wire), card through Stripe, Zelle, or USDC by arrangement.
Ownership
When the final payment is made, ownership of the source code, design files and other work made specifically for your project transfers to you. Until then, I keep ownership. Third-party pieces, such as open-source libraries, fonts or paid services, stay under their own licenses, and I'll tell you about any that need an account or fee in your name. I may reuse general know-how and small, generic building blocks that aren't specific to your business.
30-day warranty
For 30 days after launch, I fix, at no charge, any defect where the software doesn't work as described in the agreed scope. The warranty doesn't cover new features, changes to the plan, problems caused by changes made by someone else, or changes made by third parties (such as Apple, hosting providers or other services) after launch. Work outside the warranty is available through a care plan or a separate quote.
Confidentiality
I keep your business information, ideas and data confidential, and NDAs are welcome. I won't name you or show your project publicly without your permission. With permission, I may describe the project in general terms in my portfolio.
Your responsibilities
To keep the project on schedule, I'll need timely feedback, content (such as text and images) and access to accounts you own, like an Apple developer account or hosting. Delays on either side can move the timeline.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost data, arising from this website or from project work. For project work, my total liability is limited to the amount you paid for that project. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA.
Changes and contact
If these terms change, I'll update this page and the date at the top. Questions: Andre@AndreVillanueva.com. See also the privacy policy.
