Legal
Terms and conditions
General conditions governing professional services engaged through this site or as a result of contact initiated here.
This document is pending completion with the owner’s registered tax details before final publication.
Purpose and acceptance
These conditions govern the relationship between Miguel Ángel Peña ("Mike Colangelo") and the person or company engaging their software development, technical consulting, automation or mentoring services.
Each engagement is formalised through a written proposal setting out the scope, timing, price and acceptance criteria. The accepted proposal prevails over these general conditions wherever they conflict.
This site has no online shop: no purchases or payments are made through it.
Price, invoicing and taxes
Prices are agreed in writing in each proposal and expressed in euros, excluding taxes unless stated otherwise. VAT applies as required by the regulations in force and the client’s status.
Unless agreed otherwise, an advance is invoiced upon acceptance of the proposal and the remainder on delivery. Payment terms are fifteen calendar days from the invoice date.
Late payment accrues the interest provided for in Spanish Law 3/2004 on combating late payment and may suspend execution of the pending work.
Execution, changes and delivery
Committed deadlines assume the client provides the necessary information, access and approvals in good time. Delays attributable to the client extend the deadline accordingly.
Any work outside the agreed scope is quoted separately and requires written approval before being carried out.
Delivery is deemed accepted if, ten working days after being made available, the client has not reported discrepancies in writing against the agreed acceptance criteria.
Ownership of the delivered work
Once the price has been paid in full, the client acquires ownership of the code developed specifically for the engagement, as well as of any domains, servers and accounts contracted in their name.
Excluded are third-party software and open-source libraries, governed by their respective licences, and the owner’s pre-existing generic tools, templates and components, over which the client receives a perpetual, non-exclusive and territorially unlimited licence to use within the delivered project.
Unless the client indicates otherwise, the owner may mention the project and show public screenshots of the result as a professional reference, without disclosing confidential information.
Warranty and support
For thirty calendar days after delivery, defects preventing the work from meeting the agreed acceptance criteria are corrected at no cost.
New features, changes of requirements, and issues arising from modifications made by third parties or from external services outside the owner’s control are not considered defects.
Ongoing maintenance, if desired, is contracted separately.
Confidentiality and data protection
Both parties undertake to keep confidential any non-public information accessed in connection with the engagement, both during its term and after termination.
Where the service involves access to personal data for which the client is the controller, a data processing agreement will be signed in accordance with article 28 GDPR.
Liability and termination
The owner’s liability for damages arising from an engagement is limited to the amount actually invoiced for that engagement, save in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence. Loss of profit and indirect damages are excluded.
Either party may terminate the relationship with fifteen days’ written notice. In that case the work carried out up to the effective termination date is invoiced and its result delivered.
Consumers and dispute resolution
Where the client is a consumer, the rights under Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 apply, including withdrawal within fourteen calendar days of concluding the distance contract. If the client expressly requests that work begin within that period, they must pay the proportionate part already carried out should they withdraw.
For out-of-court dispute resolution, the European Commission provides its online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
Applicable law
These conditions are governed by Spanish law. With consumers, the legally applicable jurisdiction applies; otherwise, the parties submit to the courts of the owner’s domicile.
