Discovery Sprint Terms

612 Studio - a brand of BOTTEGA612 LTD

1. The parties

2. The engagement

612 will carry out a Discovery Sprint for you: a focused engagement of up to one week to define your product, plan how it should be built, and give you an honest verdict on whether to build it. It comprises a pre-work questionnaire, a working session (~1 hour), our synthesis, and a readout call (~45-60 minutes) at which the deliverables are presented and the elections in §8 are made.

3. Deliverables (presented at the readout)

Transfer. The deliverables are presented in full at the readout. The deliverable files transfer to you when the readout concludes without a refund under §8. Where the fee is refunded under §8, the deliverables are not transferred and remain 612's property (§10).

4. What's not included; assumptions

This engagement is discovery and definition only - it does not include writing production code, building the product, or implementation. The fee assumes you provide the information and reasonable access we need and make a decision-maker available for the working session and the readout. If the effort required materially exceeds these assumptions, we'll agree any change with you before proceeding.

5. Timing

The Sprint runs over up to one week, with about two days of your involvement inside it - the questionnaire, the working session, and the readout. We schedule the working session once payment clears (§7); the readout closes the Sprint.

6. Fee

£5,000 (GBP) or $7,000 (USD), as quoted at checkout - a fixed fee for the engagement and deliverables described above, exclusive of any applicable taxes. 612 (BOTTEGA612 LTD) is not VAT-registered; services to non-UK business clients are outside the scope of UK VAT. Any tax payable in your own jurisdiction is your responsibility.

7. Payment

The fee is payable in advance, via our online checkout (or by invoice on request); work is scheduled on cleared funds. Where you consent at checkout, your payment method is securely retained by our payment processor for future engagement billing that you separately authorize (e.g. build milestone payments under a Statement of Work).

8. Refunds - two defined events; otherwise non-refundable

The fee is an advance payment for our time and the agreed deliverables, not a deposit. It is refundable only in the two events below. Otherwise it is non-refundable once work has commenced; if you terminate before work begins, we refund the fee less any work already done or third-party costs committed.

8.1 Readout election (your judgment). At the readout, having seen the deliverables presented in full, you may elect a full refund if you do not consider the Sprint worth the fee. The election must be made at the readout. On the election: the fee is refunded in full, and the deliverables are not transferred (§3, §10).

8.2 No-build verdict (our judgment). If our Product Verdict is that the product should not be built, we refund the fee in full, without any election needed. The deliverables are not transferred; we will share the reasons for our verdict.

Once the readout concludes without an §8.1 election, and §8.2 does not apply, the deliverables transfer and the fee is no longer refundable.

9. Build credit

If, within 30 days of the readout, you enter a build engagement with 612 (Master Services Agreement + Statement of Work signed and the deposit paid), 100% of the fee - in the currency you paid - is credited against the build price, applied to the build's final payment tranche(s), latest first. The credit lapses after the 30 days, is not transferable, and has no cash value.

10. Intellectual property

On transfer under §3, the deliverables are yours to use for your own purposes - with 612 or with any other builder. Where the fee is refunded under §8, no rights transfer and the deliverables remain 612's property. 612 retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, tools, methods and know-how, and of general skills and experience gained.

11. Confidentiality & data protection

Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential and use it only for this engagement. Each party will comply with applicable data protection law; only the minimal personal data needed for the engagement is processed, and only for it.

12. Liability

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this engagement is limited to the fee paid, save that liability for our negligence is limited to the amount recoverable under our professional indemnity insurance (£1,000,000). Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill. Nothing limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Term & termination

Either party may end this engagement on written notice. You remain liable for work performed and third-party costs committed up to the date of termination (consistent with §8). Clauses 8-12 and 14 survive termination.

14. Governing law, jurisdiction & binding arbitration

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, save that where you are incorporated or principally operate outside the UK, a dispute not resolved amicably is finally resolved by arbitration under the ICDR International Arbitration Rules (including their Expedited Procedures where applicable), seat London, England, one arbitrator, in English, enforceable under the New York Convention (urgent injunctive relief and debt claims may still go to court).

15. Acceptance

These Terms are accepted when you complete payment through our online checkout, which requires you to affirmatively confirm your acceptance of these Terms (a copy is linked at checkout and provided with your receipt). No signature is required (acceptance by electronic signature is also available on request).
