01Ownership of deliverables
On final payment, all custom source code, configuration, and original documentation produced for your engagement transfers to you. SessDev retains no ownership over your custom deliverables.
02Buyout clause
Even before final payment, you may exercise the Buyout Protocol to acquire all work-in-progress source code by paying the remaining engagement fees in full. See the Buyout Protocol for details.
03Third-party components
Deliverables may incorporate third-party libraries and assets governed by their own licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD, commercial SaaS). License compliance is your responsibility post-handoff.
04Open-source contributions
SessDev retains the right to contribute generic, non-confidential utilities back to the open-source ecosystem provided they contain no client-identifying logic, brand, or business rules.
05Credits and references
As a shadow agency, we do not publicly claim credit for client work. We do not list clients on our website, and we honor white-label terms by default.
