How to verify us
before you sign.
Oviompt is an anonymous studio on the marketing surface. That's a brand choice, not a contracting one. This page lays out the practical steps you can take to verify us before any money changes hands, and the protections that sit in every contract we send.
Start with an Audit.
An Audit is a fixed-fee engagement of 1–2 weeks at $3k–$10k. It produces a written decision document you can act on with or without further engagement. If you don't like the audit, you don't have to do anything else. If you do, the audit becomes the spec for the next engagement.
This is the verification path we recommend for every first-time buyer. It is small enough that the financial risk is bounded, and tangible enough that you see exactly how we work before committing to anything larger.
Plain English.
Under $25k
50% on signature. 50% on delivery.
$25k to $120k
33% on signature. 33% at midpoint. 34% on delivery.
Above $120k
Milestone-based. Typically 4–6 payments, each tied to a written deliverable on a stated date.
USD primary
INR invoicing available on request. Wire, ACH, or supported card. No crypto.
How to walk away.
Every Oviompt contract includes a written termination clause. If we have not delivered against an agreed milestone within 14 days of its due date, you may terminate and pay only for delivered milestones. No notice period, no penalty.
This clause exists because the studio model only works if the buyer has the right to leave when we're not delivering. We mention it because it should be in the contract whether either side ever invokes it or not.
What we hold and what we don't.
The default Oviompt engagement holds no production data. All artifacts (code, designs, decision register, hand-off doc) live in the buyer's chosen tools (their repo, their cloud, their drive). When the buyer requires it, we sign Data Processing Agreements and follow the buyer's data handling policy.
Where engagements involve sensitive data in our hands during development, we follow these rules:
- Data is held in the buyer's tenancy, not ours. We get scoped, time-bound access.
- No production data is ever copied to local machines.
- Access is reviewed and revoked at engagement end, in writing.
- Vulnerability reports go to
[email protected]; we acknowledge within 48 hours and aim to remediate within 14 days. See /.well-known/security.txt.
Named, where the buyer permits.
We do not list client names on the public site (clients ask for confidentiality and we honor it). After the first scoping conversation, where buyers have given us permission to do so, we will introduce you to a reference you can email or call directly. We tell the reference you may be in touch and ask them to be candid.
If you require references before signing and none of our buyers have given current permission, we will tell you so plainly rather than fabricate one. In that case the right path is to start with an Audit, where the financial risk is bounded and you see how we work directly.
The brand choice, plainly.
The studio site does not name a founder, does not show team headshots, and does not list a physical address. This is intentional. Oviompt's positioning is that the work, not the personalities, is the product.
This choice is on the marketing surface only. In the contracting relationship, you will know:
- The named legal entity that signs the contract and issues invoices.
- The named team members assigned to your engagement.
- The named client references you can speak to.
- Where artifacts will live (your tooling, not ours).
The anonymity is a brand decision, not a hiding mechanism. If it makes you uncomfortable enough that an audit-first engagement isn't enough to overcome it, we are probably not the right studio for you, and we will tell you so.

The questions buyers actually ask.
How do I verify Oviompt is real before I sign a contract?
Start with an Audit (1–2 weeks, $3k–$10k). It is the lowest-risk way to verify fit. After the discovery call, we provide named client references and the legal entity that signs the contract.
What are your payment terms?
For audits and engagements under $25k: 50% on signature, 50% on delivery. For engagements $25k–$120k: 33% on signature, 33% at midpoint, 34% on delivery. For multi-surface builds above $120k: milestone-based, typically four to six payments tied to written deliverables.
What if the engagement does not work out?
Every contract includes a written termination clause. If we have not delivered against an agreed milestone within 14 days of its due date, you may terminate and pay only for delivered milestones.
Do you sign DPAs and NDAs?
Yes. We sign DPAs (Data Processing Agreements), NDAs, and any reasonable buyer-template MSA after a quick legal review. We will not sign contracts that require us to misrepresent who we are or what we built.
What is your insurance coverage?
We carry professional liability insurance appropriate to our largest engagement tier. Certificate of insurance available on request after contract review.
Where is Oviompt incorporated?
Provided in writing on the contract and on every invoice. We don't publish it on the site for the same reason we don't publish team names: it's a marketing-surface choice, not a transparency one.
Can I see a sample contract before submitting intent?
Yes. Email [email protected] with "Sample MSA" in the subject and we will send a redacted copy of our standard MSA within one business day.
