Idea2Code

Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use the Idea2Code app or idea2code.org, and to the software development work you order through them from Atomos Technologies OPC Private Limited.

Effective 3 October 2026.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Idea2Code is operated by Atomos Technologies OPC Private Limited, a company incorporated in India (“we”, “us”), of Atomos Technologies HQ, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. These terms govern your use of the Idea2Code mobile app and this website (together, the “Service”), and form part of every engagement you enter into through it.

Where we have signed a master services agreement, statement of work or other written agreement with you (an “Agreement”), that Agreement prevails over these terms wherever the two differ.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data, and our Refund, Cancellation and Delivery Policy forms part of these terms.

2. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms when you create an account, or by using the Service. If you use it on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means that organisation.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.

3. Your account

• Give us accurate, current and complete information, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your sign-in details to yourself. You are responsible for what is done through your account, and should tell us at once at care@idea2code.org if you think someone else has used it.
• We may suspend or close an account where the information is materially false, or where we reasonably suspect misuse or a breach of these terms. We will tell you why unless the law or an investigation prevents it.
• You can delete your account at any time; here is how.

4. Requests, proposals and agreements

You describe the software you want by raising a request in the app. A request is an enquiry: it does not oblige either of us to anything.

If we can take the work on, we send you a proposal with the scope, timeline and price. A proposal is an offer, open for the period it states. The engagement begins when the Agreements for it are signed by both of us — in the app, by electronic signature.

You agree that documents signed in the app are signed by you, that they are binding as if signed on paper, and that the signing record we keep (who signed, when, and the document signed) is evidence of it.

What is built, by when, and for how much is set exclusively by the Agreements. Nothing else in the Service — descriptions, estimates, examples or the tracker — is a promise of a particular scope, date or result.

5. Fees and when they fall due

Your Agreement sets the price and a payment schedule of instalments, each with a due date. The schedule is shown in the app under Track.

• Instalments fall due on their dates. An instalment is payable on its due date whether or not a milestone has been reached by then. Payment is not conditional on delivery progress, except where your Agreement expressly says otherwise.
• Moving a date. An unpaid instalment’s due date can be moved, for example when you ask us for more time, only with a reason recorded and shown to you in the app. A paid instalment is never changed.
• Taxes. Prices exclude Goods and Services Tax and other applicable taxes, which are added and shown separately on the schedule and the invoice. If the law requires you to withhold tax from a payment, you pay us the amount that leaves us with the full invoiced sum, and give us the withholding certificate.
• Charges. Bank charges, currency conversion and payment-provider fees on your side are yours.
• Invoices. We raise a tax invoice for each payment we receive, available in the app under You, then Your Invoices.

6. How you pay

Where the app offers payment, the ways available to you are the ones it shows at the time. Otherwise your account manager sends you payment instructions. A payment counts as made when the money has reached us and been confirmed; sending a transfer, or a screenshot of one, does not by itself settle an instalment.

If you pay in cryptocurrency, you send the equivalent of the amount due, on the network we name for the address we give. A transfer on any other network, or to any other address, may be lost for good and does not settle the instalment. Network fees are yours.

7. When payment is late

• We may charge interest on an overdue amount at 1.5% a month, or the highest rate the law allows if that is lower, from the due date until it is paid.
• While an instalment is overdue, we may pause work on that project. The app says so on the project, and work resumes once it is settled. The time it was paused is added to the timeline.
• If an amount stays unpaid for 30 days after its due date, and we have told you in writing, we may end the engagement under clause 13.

8. What we need from you

We build what you need, and we can only do it with you. You agree to:

• give us accurate information, and access to the systems, accounts, content and people we reasonably need;
• name someone who can take decisions and give approvals for you;
• answer our questions, review what we deliver and give feedback or approval within the times agreed, or within a reasonable time if none is agreed;
• obtain any licences, consents and permissions the work needs from third parties; and
• have the right to give us whatever data, content or materials you supply.

If you hold the work up, the plan moves, and so can the price. Where a delay comes from something on your side — information, access, content, feedback or approval that has not arrived — the timeline moves by at least the length of the delay. Where it costs us time or capacity, we may revise the fee through a change request, which we will explain to you before it applies. A delay on your side does not postpone an instalment.

9. Changes to the scope

You can ask for changes at any time, in the app or in writing. We will tell you what a change does to the timeline and the price. We may decline one, for example if it is not feasible, not safe, not lawful, or conflicts with the agreed scope. Work outside the agreed scope is charged as agreed in writing before it starts.

10. Intellectual property

• What we build for you. Once you have paid everything due under an engagement, the rights in the deliverables made specifically for you — source code, designs and documentation — pass to you.
• What we already had. We keep our pre-existing materials, tools, libraries, frameworks and know-how, and anything of general application developed along the way. You get a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use them as part of your deliverables.
• Open-source and third-party parts. Deliverables may include components under their own licences, which we tell you about and which govern your use of them.
• What you give us. You keep all rights in your materials, and let us use them only to do the work.
• The Service. The app, this website and their content belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, adapt or redistribute them except as ordinary use of the Service allows.

11. Confidentiality

Each of us keeps the other’s non-public information confidential, uses it only for the engagement, and protects it at least as carefully as our own. This does not cover information that is public through no fault of the recipient, was already lawfully known to it, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law — in which case the other is told first where the law allows. These duties outlast the engagement.

12. Warranty, and its limits

We do the work with reasonable skill and care, to generally accepted professional standards. For 90 days after you accept a deliverable, it will materially conform to its specification in the Agreement; if it does not, we correct it at no charge, which is our whole obligation under this warranty.

Beyond that, the Service and the work are provided as they are, and we exclude other warranties to the extent the law allows, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that software will be free of every defect, or that any business result will follow.

No security assessment can prove that vulnerabilities are absent. A security test reflects the systems, scope and period tested, and is not a guarantee that a system cannot be compromised.

13. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow to be limited.

• Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings or data, however it arises.
• Our total liability for an engagement is limited to the fees you actually paid us under it in the 12 months before the event that gives rise to the claim.
• Where there is no engagement, our total liability for your use of the Service is limited to INR 10,000.

14. Indemnity

You will compensate us for claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Service or the deliverables, your infringement of anyone’s rights, or the materials you give us.

15. Using the Service properly

You agree not to use the Service unlawfully; to try to get into any account, server or system you are not authorised to use; to probe or test its security without our written permission; to introduce malicious code; to harvest data from it by automated means or put unreasonable load on it; or to impersonate anyone. We may restrict or end access where we reasonably believe this clause has been broken.

16. Ending an engagement

An engagement can be ended as its Agreement provides; or by either of us, in writing, if the other commits a material breach and does not put it right within 30 days of being told, or becomes insolvent. When it ends, you pay for the work done and the costs properly incurred up to that date, and we hand over the work completed so far. Cancellation and refunds are covered by our Refund, Cancellation and Delivery Policy. The clauses on intellectual property, confidentiality, warranty, liability, indemnity and governing law survive.

17. Events beyond our control

Neither of us is responsible for failing or being late to perform because of events beyond reasonable control — natural disaster, epidemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, strike, or a large-scale failure of a telecommunications network, internet service or cloud provider. The one affected tells the other promptly and does what it reasonably can to limit the effect.

18. Law, disputes and grievances

These terms, and any dispute about them or the Service, are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Kolkata, India have exclusive jurisdiction. Before starting proceedings, both of us will try in good faith to settle the dispute through our senior people for 30 days.

You can raise a grievance with our Grievance Officer, Ayaan Ansari, at grievance@idea2code.org. We acknowledge a grievance within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days. Support and contact lists every way to reach us.

19. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. The current version is always here with its effective date. If a change materially affects you, we tell you in the app before it takes effect; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept it. A change never alters an Agreement already signed.

20. General

• These terms and your Agreements are the whole agreement between us on their subject.
• If a provision is held invalid, the rest stays in force.
• Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• You may not transfer these terms without our written consent; we may transfer them to a successor to our business.
• Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment.
• We send notices to the email address on your account, or show them in the app; you send notices to care@idea2code.org.
