2. Cookies We Use. MarbleCodeNest uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the operation of this website. Specifically, we use a single localStorage entry (mcn_cookies_accepted) to record your cookie consent preference. This is not a traditional cookie but a client-side storage mechanism.

3. No Third-Party Tracking. We do not deploy Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking cookies. No advertising or profiling cookies are set by this website.

4. Managing Cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the cookie consent banner but will not impact the core operation of this website.

5. Consent. In accordance with the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the GDPR, non-essential cookies require your explicit consent before being set. Since this site deploys no non-essential cookies, no additional consent mechanism is required beyond the informational banner.

1. Project Deposits. A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total project fee is required before work commences. This deposit secures your position in our production queue and covers initial planning, scoping, and architecture work.

2. Milestone-Based Billing. Projects exceeding 1,500€ are billed in milestones tied to deliverable phases (e.g., design approval, development completion, final deployment). Each milestone payment is non-refundable once the corresponding deliverable has been submitted for review.

3. Cancellation. If you cancel a project before the first milestone deliverable is submitted, you will receive a refund of any payments made minus the initial 30% deposit and any costs incurred for work already completed. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to [email protected].

4. Completed Work. Upon final delivery and client acceptance, all payments are non-refundable. MarbleCodeNest provides a 30-day post-delivery support period for bug fixes related to the original scope at no additional charge.

5. Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute regarding refunds, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation before pursuing any legal remedies. The applicable jurisdiction is Nürnberg, Germany.

MarbleCodeNest retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio unless otherwise agreed in writing. Pre-existing frameworks, libraries, and tooling remain the property of MarbleCodeNest.

4. Confidentiality. Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information shared during the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the agreement for a period of 24 months.
