Agreement Scope: These Terms govern your access to and use of our website located at https://www.developous.com (the "Website"), all software development services, digital marketing services, consulting services, and any other services we provide (collectively, the "Services").

No Guarantee of Results: While we strive to deliver high-quality services, we do not guarantee specific business results, revenue increases, or rankings for digital marketing services. Results depend on many factors beyond our control.

Non-Refundable Fees: All fees paid for services rendered are non-refundable except as required by law. Refund requests must be made within 14 days of invoice date. Services begun cannot be refunded.
