Most website disputes are scope misunderstandings wearing legal clothes. Before signing any Indian web-development agreement, verify these clauses exist in plain language:
Must-have clauses
- Scope with exclusions: pages, features, integrations listed — plus what is explicitly out.
- IP assignment: code, design and content assigned on full payment; licences in your name.
- Milestones & acceptance: demo criteria per payment, with testing windows.
- Warranty: 30–90 day bug-fix cover, defined severity response.
- Exit: handover package (repos, credentials, docs) and pro-rata refunds.
CBWS terms
Fixed written quotes, staged payments and documented handovers are standard here — start at pricing.
