Reserved Rights

At CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, and all related entities, including domain names: whoops.online, 2u2.com.au ( and all subsidiaries and domains ), doubleyoutoo.com, doubleyoutoo.com.au, indeed.is, thelematics.com we do reserve the rights to change the claims, terms, conditions and pricing of any service, product or solution as rendered by us, or any of us, at any time and without an imminent announcement.

The reserved rights are related to all levels of engagement, services and products, including: domain names, hosting services, infrastructure, dynamic services, graphic design, branding, online advertising, it procurement, IT solutions, code and web development (including all compute languages, libraries and third parties), not excluding additionally agreed services, relationships and employments at any level by our clients, their sub-clients, contractors and contracts of any sort.

The imminent reserved rights price changes are rationally determined on the scopes of economical environments, infrastructure changes, bandwidth data changes, service provisioning price changes and third party data infrastructure pricing changes.

The CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, and related entities and contractors reserve the changes on the pricing on a dynamic contracting for all services, as described above, and according to our clients needs, and changes that our clients impose, willingly or unwillingly upon the relationship with us.

The price changes, terms and conditions of services are thus not necessarily announced on every occasion, as these are dependent upon and relative to a wider network changes, contracting relationship changes and changes as imposed from third parties, not excluding the changes imposed by our clients. Please respect the relationship as a trust based cooperation between the two professional parties. Please accept our responsibility to reserve our rights to change the terms, conditions and pricing at any time and according to the current situation.

We do reserve our rights to change the terms, conditions and pricing at any point, without warning and without prejudice.

Authorship & Ownership

We do reserve the rights to hold the authorship and ownership on any digital assets, code, services provided to the Client, if these fall under the Laws and Copyright of the IT and Creative arts, if the work or services rendered have been provided without contract and until the project disengagement agreement is rendered between us and client. For further information please look into the regulations of IT, Creative services and IP of your local regulative body. We reserve the right to withhold, sustain and keep any authorship and ownership of IP, IT, Creative work, Code or Function until further details aren’t specified between us and the client, without prejudice.

In the proposed terms and conditions, the authorship of a web application built without a formal contract, including its design, functionality, and performance, remains with the author. If CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, or any of its subsidiaries, is the author, they retain ownership until the project is deemed complete by the client. Prior to completion, the client effectively rents the application, with CONNECT having the discretion to adjust the rental fee. To take ownership, the client must confirm completion and undergo a handover procedure, incurring costs calculated as 50% of all accrued payments plus an additional 50%. There's a slight negotiability on the price, but the 50/50 rule is standard.

The 50/50 cost structure for handover means the client pays an additional amount equal to 100% of the payments they've already made. This doesn't mean paying 150% of the original sum in total; instead, it means doubling the total amount paid to this point. Essentially, if a client has paid a certain amount for the services until the handover, they will need to match that amount again to complete the purchase, making the total cost for ownership the original amount plus its equal—hence, a 50/50 split. This effectively doubles the total expenditure to this point. This pricing strategy ensures that CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, covers its costs and efforts in the development while providing a clear path for clients to gain full ownership of the developed web application or website. This approach ensures CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, recoups development costs while offering clients a straightforward path to ownership.

CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies reserves the right to maintain authorship and ownership of all digital assets, code, and services until a formal disengagement agreement is made, in line with IT and creative arts copyright laws. This policy applies to work provided without a formal contract. The handover process for a project's full ownership involves a 50/50 cost structure, where clients pay an amount equal to the total they have already paid, ensuring fair compensation for development while facilitating clear ownership transition. For specifics on IT, creative services, and IP rights, clients are advised to consult their local regulatory bodies.

We do reserve the right to respond to any enquiries within the 14 days period from the enquiry receipt, without prejudice.

For all other terms, conditions and commissioning details refer to the policies of CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, its related entities, domains and service providers. If required an imminent support, please refer to our imminent support service at https://bookings.thelematics.co (payable service)
