<h3>2. Services, Quotes, and Market Fluctuations</h3>
<p><strong>Best Effort Quotes:</strong> All quotes provided are "best effort" estimates. Prices are subject to market fluctuations and third-party provider changes. Upfront Fees: We do not hold deposits. However, certain services require a 50% upfront payment before work commences. Due correspondence will be provided for these requirements before any payment is requested.</p>
<h3>3. Support and Service Level Agreement (SLA)</h3>
<p><strong>Standard Support:</strong> We offer a free 3-month support period starting from the date of project delivery. Response Times: For Server and Cloud builds, we maintain a 73-hour SLA during the free support period.</p>
<p><strong>Expiration:</strong> Unless a separate, paid SLA is purchased outside of the standard offerings on this site, all support obligations expire exactly 3 months after delivery.

<h3>5. Refunds and Cancellations</h3>
<p><strong>Work-Based Refunds:</strong> Refunds are granted based on whether the technical work has been initiated or completed, and strictly within the parameters allowed by the <strong>Consumer Protection Act</strong> regarding professional digital services.
