These terms explain how our partnership works. They're not the legal contract; the signed agreement controls. Read this to understand how we build, own, and profit together.
You bring audience, brand, and promotion.
We (Astrum) handle research, validation, design, build, hosting, payments, analytics, and shipping.
Goal: launch a sticky, profitable app fast, then improve it weekly.
A. Partnership Model — low upfront + revenue share.
B. Standard Agency Model — fixed fee, no revenue share.
(Choose one before we start. The rest of this page focuses on the Partnership; the Agency differences are in §10.)
We agree the exact split in writing before we start (e.g., 50/50).
"Revenue" means subscription/app income actually received, net of platform fees, taxes, refunds/chargebacks, and agreed third-party costs (e.g., infra, stores, analytics).
Payouts: distributed monthly based on the agreed split, after deducting the agreed costs.
You're responsible for your own taxes.
Brand/IP & Listings: You own the brand (name, marks, likeness, content), your App Store/Play Console listings, and your customer relationships.
Code & Product: The app codebase and underlying product IP are owned jointly according to the revenue-share split (e.g., 50/50).
Licenses: Each party grants the other a non-exclusive license to use the jointly owned code for this app and brand, worldwide, during the partnership. Neither party can repackage/sell this exact app to others under a different brand without the other's written OK.
Third-party components: We may use licensed or open-source components. Those remain under their original licenses.
If we sell the app (assets or company), sale proceeds are split by the same ownership split (e.g., 50/50) after closing costs and any agreed liabilities.
Both parties must approve a sale in writing.
You: Approve key decisions quickly, provide brand assets/content, and promote the app in your channels. Follow platform rules and local laws for your promotions and claims.
Astrum: Build and ship the app, maintain infra, instrument analytics, submit to app stores, and ship weekly updates we agree on. Keep you informed with concise progress and metrics.
We aim to ship MVP in ~14 days, using validated patterns.
After launch: weekly, measurable improvements.
Scope changes can affect time/cost; we'll confirm before proceeding.
We follow standard best practices (encryption in transit/at rest where applicable, role-based access, least-privilege).
You own your customer data to the extent allowed by platform rules.
Both parties will comply with applicable privacy laws and store policies.
Either party can end the partnership with written notice.
On exit:
No rev share; you pay the fixed fee.
Ownership: upon full payment, you receive full rights to the code for this app, plus brand/listings (which are already yours).
We provide a reasonable handover (docs, credentials, deploy notes).
Ongoing maintenance available as a separate agreement.
Partnership: $3,000 USD + agreed revenue share.
Agency: $13,899 USD, no rev share.
Third-party costs (e.g., Apple/Google dev accounts, infra, analytics, email, auth, payments) are paid by the project as agreed.
Software is complex. We'll act professionally and fix defects we cause within a reasonable window.
Neither party is liable for indirect or special damages. Total liability is capped at the greater of the amounts paid in the last 3 months or USD $3,000, except where not permitted by law.
We both keep non-public information confidential, except where disclosure is required by law or platform policies.
We may reference the app as a case study (non-sensitive metrics, visuals) unless you ask us not to in writing. You may reference Astrum as your build partner.
We'll try to resolve issues informally first.
If needed, we'll use good-faith mediation or arbitration in Wyoming under mutually agreed rules.
Governing law: Wyoming, USA.
We may update this page for clarity. Any change that affects our partnership economics or ownership only applies if both parties agree in writing.
