Milestones & Timeline
Development will proceed according to the milestones in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, with final delivery targeted for October 11, 2026.

Payment Terms
The total fee for this engagement is $2,400.00, payable in milestones tied to the deliverables in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration.
A deposit of $720.00 is due before work begins. Remaining milestone payments are invoiced as each phase is completed and are due within 7 days of the invoice.
Late payments may accrue a 1.5% monthly late fee, and work on subsequent milestones may be paused until outstanding balances are settled.
Testing & Acceptance
The Sender will test each milestone against the requirements in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration before delivery. The Client has 5 business days to report any deviation from the agreed requirements; issues reported after acceptance may be treated as new work.
Source Code & IP Ownership
Upon receipt of full payment, the Client receives ownership of all custom source code written for this project, including repository access and any credentials needed to operate it. Third-party libraries and services remain subject to their own licenses.
Post-Launch Support
This agreement includes 30 days of post-launch bug-fix support for defects in the delivered functionality. New features, infrastructure costs, and ongoing maintenance beyond this window are not included and can be arranged as a separate retainer.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or financial information shared during this engagement, and to use it only for the purpose of completing the work described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration.
This obligation survives the completion or termination of this agreement and continues for 2 years afterward.

The Sender is engaged as an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of the Client. The Sender is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and benefits, and is free to accept other engagements during the term of this agreement, provided they do not conflict with the confidentiality obligations above.
Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement with 14 days' written notice. If the Client terminates before completion, the Sender will be paid for all work completed up to the termination date, and the deposit is non-refundable.
If the Sender terminates, any portion of the deposit exceeding the value of work already completed will be refunded to the Client within 14 days.
