Terms of Engagement // Legal Protocols

1. Sovereignty Clause

All code, assets, and infrastructure deployed by MEF’D UP become the sole property of the client upon final payment. We do not engage in “rent-seeking” behavior. You own the stack.

2. Liability & High-Risk Operations

While we engineer systems for resilience, the Client assumes all liability for the nature of the goods sold. MEF’D UP provides the infrastructure; the Client provides the compliance. We are the architects, not the lawyers.

3. Payment & Deployment

Deployment of production code requires full settlement of invoices. We operate on a milestone basis. Code commits are paused if milestones are missed. This ensures project velocity and accountability.

4. Data Privacy (Zero Knowledge)

We implement “Zero Knowledge” architecture where possible. MEF’D UP does not retain access to client databases post-handover unless specifically retained for maintenance contracts.
