Common Questions
How does the 2-week trial work?
You can start working with a developer immediately. If you are not satisfied within the first 14 days, you pay nothing. If you are satisfied, the trial period counts towards your first month’s billing.
Are there any long-term contracts?
No. Our standard engagement is monthly rolling. You can cancel or scale down with 30 days’ notice. Enterprise contracts may have different terms based on volume discounts.
Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP)?
You do. Our legal agreements ensure that all work created by Athen engineers is considered “work for hire” and belongs 100% to your company from the moment of creation.
