A transparent agreement that protects both parties. Read this before submitting a project brief — it covers ownership, deliverables, and how we work together.
The following definitions apply throughout these terms:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| "RNSDevs" | A personal hobby project run by a teenager based in Belgium. Not a registered company or commercial entity of any kind. |
| "Client" | Any individual, company, or organisation that submits a project brief or engages RNSDevs for web development services. |
| "Project" | Any website, web application, or digital deliverable developed by RNSDevs for a Client. |
| "Deliverable" | The live, functional website made available to the Client upon completion of a Project. |
| "Source code" | All underlying code, files, scripts, stylesheets, assets, and technical components constituting a Project. |
| "Agreement" | These terms and conditions, accepted by the Client upon submission of a project brief. |
RNSDevs provides custom web development services completely free of charge. This is a personal hobby project run by a teenager — not a business — and no profit of any kind is made.
Design and front-end development — Back-end and server-side logic where applicable — Deployment and hosting configuration — DNS setup and domain connection — Minor post-launch revisions within a reasonable scope.
Ongoing maintenance contracts — Guaranteed SLA or uptime commitments — Legal, financial, or regulatory compliance advisory — Content creation or copywriting unless explicitly agreed.
All external costs are always borne exclusively by the Client. This includes, without limitation: domain registration and renewal fees, paid hosting plans, premium third-party APIs, external subscriptions, and any other services not directly operated by RNSDevs. RNSDevs will never incur external costs on behalf of a Client.
RNSDevs retains full and exclusive ownership of all websites and source code produced. This includes all design, layout, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and any other code, assets, or creative work produced in connection with a Project — whether delivered or still in development — in perpetuity, without exception.
The Client receives a fully operational website deployed and accessible at the agreed domain. This constitutes the entirety of what is transferred to the Client. No source code, design files, or underlying assets are transferred to the Client unless a separate written agreement is established to that effect.
All timelines provided are estimates and not binding commitments. RNSDevs endeavours to deliver within the communicated timeframe, but no guarantee is given with respect to specific delivery dates. As this is a hobby project, timelines are handled with best-effort intent.
RNSDevs provides free hosting for Projects deployed under the .rnsdevs.com subdomain, subject to available server capacity. For custom domains, the Client is responsible for purchasing and maintaining the domain registration through a provider of their choice. All external costs are always exclusively the Client's responsibility.
For both web hosting and domain registration, RNSDevs recommends CheeseHosting (cheesehosting.net). If the Client wishes to use a different hosting provider, this must first be discussed and agreed with RNSDevs before any deployment takes place.
RNSDevs is committed to handling all personal data with care and discretion, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as applicable in Belgium.
RNSDevs is a personal hobby project run by a teenager — not a registered business — and all services are provided entirely free of charge with zero profit made. Accordingly, RNSDevs' liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. RNSDevs is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or related to any Project or these terms. The maximum aggregate liability of RNSDevs shall not exceed €0, reflecting the entirely non-commercial, zero-profit nature of the service.
When RNSDevs wishes to end the collaboration and remove or hand over a site, RNSDevs will first enter into discussion with the Client about the way forward. If the Client does not respond within 14 days of being contacted, RNSDevs reserves the right to make this decision unilaterally without further consultation.
If the Client chooses to end the collaboration with RNSDevs, the website will be permanently and entirely removed. No source code, files, or assets will be transferred to the Client in this scenario. The Client acknowledges this consequence when accepting these terms.
By submitting a project brief through the RNSDevs contact form — and ticking the confirmation checkbox — the Client confirms they have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions in their entirety.
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium. Any disputes arising from or related to these terms or a Project shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Belgium.
RNSDevs reserves the right to update these terms at any time. The version in effect at the time a project brief is submitted governs that project.
