THE GUARANTEE

20% off if we miss your deadline. We have never paid it.

Agencies talk about timelines. We put money on them. Every fixed price build includes a 20% deadline guarantee. If we miss the delivery date we agreed on, your final invoice drops 20%. No appeals, no committee. Since 2023 across 20+ projects, we have never paid it. Here is why it holds.

Projects shipped on the date we committed

What “missed” means

The deadline is the date in your signed Statement of Work, written in plain English. If we do not deliver the agreed scope by that date, the guarantee triggers.

  • Date is captured in the SOW before kickoff, not after
  • Delay is measured from that date, not from any verbal estimate
  • A one day delay triggers the full 20%. No partial credit, no sliding scale

What “delivery” means

Delivery is the agreed scope deployed to production on your infrastructure, with handover complete. Not staging, not a demo. The real thing in the real environment.

  • Code pushed to your repo under your accounts
  • Deployed to your production environment and reachable by end users
  • Handover completed: credentials, runbook, monitoring access
  • 30 day stabilization window begins on the delivery date

Exclusions

The guarantee is real, not a marketing line. Which is why the exclusions are real too. These are the only situations where the clock pauses.

  • Scope changes over 10%. If you add more than 10% new scope mid build, we rebaseline the date together. Small tweaks under 10% stay on the original date.
  • Third party dependencies. If a payment gateway, CRM API, or government portal blocks progress and it is not within our control, the clock pauses only for that blocker and resumes when resolved.
  • Client side delays. If we wait more than 5 business days on feedback, approvals, or access you owe us, the deadline shifts by the number of days we waited.
  • Force majeure. Natural events, state action, infrastructure outages outside Cloudflare and AWS scope. Standard commercial clause.
