The purpose of this Agreement is to define service expectations, performance standards, payment obligations, and the responsibilities of both parties.
Any purchase made by the Client under this Agreement becomes a binding financial obligation, enforceable under applicable law. By purchasing any service or product from Dove Developers, the Client expressly agrees to all terms in this Agreement, regardless of whether they have read it in full.

Dove Developers may update, modify, or enhance service processes, tools, or methods as needed to maintain quality, security, or operational efficiency.
3. Payment Terms
3.1 Monthly Payments
- All services billed on a monthly basis must be paid on or before the due date, regardless of whether an invoice is issued.
- The Client is solely responsible for ensuring timely payment for all services rendered.
- Failure to receive an invoice does not exempt the Client from payment obligations.

- This obligation remains enforceable with or without an invoice, and with or without notice from Dove Developers.
- All purchases are final and non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing.
- By purchasing, the Client confirms they have read, understood, and agreed to this Agreement, or otherwise accepts that purchase constitutes legal acceptance of all terms.
3.3 Missed or Late Payments
- Any payment not received by the due date is considered late.
- A $25 late fee will be automatically applied to each late payment.
- Additional late fees may accrue monthly until the outstanding balance is paid in full.
- Repeated late payments may result in additional administrative fees or service restrictions.
3.4 Suspension of Services
Dove Developers reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate services if the Client fails to pay any outstanding balance, including late fees. Suspension may include:
- Removal of hosting access
- Disabling website functionality
- Pausing development work
- Revoking access to digital products or tools
- Blocking support requests
Service suspension does not relieve the Client of financial obligations.
4. Collections & Enforcement
If the Client fails to pay any required amount:
- Dove Developers may pursue collection of the debt through internal or external means.
- The Client agrees to be responsible for all reasonable costs associated with collection, including administrative fees, legal fees, attorney fees, and court costs.
- Dove Developers may report delinquent accounts to credit or business reporting agencies where applicable.
- Dove Developers may transfer the account to a third-party collections agency.
- Continued nonpayment may result in legal action.
The Client acknowledges that failure to pay may result in permanent service termination and forfeiture of access to all digital products.
5. Term & Termination
