Four people, three projects, one room in Plymstock.
Rhythm And Roots Entertainment Ltd has been writing software since 2019. The first thing we shipped was a ticketing tool for a venue off Union Street. It had forty-one features. The door staff used eight of them.
We rebuilt it with nine and it has run every Friday since. That rebuild is still how we work: the argument about what to leave out happens before anyone opens an editor. Eleven products later, we have not changed our minds.
01
Small on purpose
Four of us. Three projects at a time, and we turn down the fourth rather than thin the other three out.
02
Built to be handed over
The repository, the deployment keys and the written documentation are yours from week one. There is no retainer you cannot walk away from, and nothing of ours you have to keep paying for.
03
We report what came out
Most studios send you a velocity chart. Ours lists the features we removed that fortnight.
How the work actually runs
No stage of this is a surprise on the invoice.
01
Scope
Two weeks. We sit with the people who use the current system, map what exists, disagree about what you actually need, and write it down with a figure next to each line.
02
Prototype
A clickable version before a line of production code. Moving a screen costs an afternoon; moving a database costs a month.
03
Build
Fortnightly cycles. At the end of every one you get a link to something running, not a status report about something that will be.
04
Hand over
Repository, keys, documentation, and two weeks of us on call while your team settles in. After that you decide whether we stay.
Priced before you ask
What it costs to start.
Tick anything below and it carries through to the enquiry form at the bottom of the page. You do not need to explain it twice.
Every figure is a starting point, confirmed in writing after the discovery sprint. Quotes hold for 30 days. Amounts exclude VAT where it applies.
We will tell you honestly whether it needs software or a better spreadsheet. About a third of the time it is the spreadsheet, and that conversation costs nothing.
Still weighing it up? Ring us. It is a five-minute conversation and we will not chase you afterwards.
That has reached us.
One of the four of us reads every enquiry — not a queue, not an autoresponder. You will hear back within one working day, and if it is not work for us we will say so and point you somewhere better.

Terms of Service
Last updated 17 August 2026
1. Who you are contracting with
This website is operated by Rhythm And Roots Entertainment Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales under Company No. 17365939, whose registered office is 41 Southgate Avenue, Plymouth, PL9 9LW. In these terms "we", "us" and "our" mean that company, and "you" means the client commissioning the work.
2. What we provide
Custom software development services: product discovery sprints, web application builds, mobile applications for iOS and Android, booking and ticketing platforms, API and systems integration, and ongoing support and maintenance. Each engagement is defined in a written proposal.
Not included unless the proposal says so in writing: third-party licence and hosting fees, app store developer account fees, paid media, content writing, photography, and any hardware.
3. How work is commissioned
You contact us through the enquiry form on this website, by email or by telephone. We then issue a written proposal setting out the scope, the timetable and the price. A contract exists only once you accept that proposal in writing. No payment is taken through this website.
4. Prices and quotes
The figures shown on this website are starting points for typical engagements, not offers. A quote in a written proposal is valid for 30 days from its date. Prices exclude VAT where it applies. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted separately and started only once you approve it in writing.
5. Payment
Unless the proposal states otherwise, we invoice 40% on acceptance and the balance on delivery; retainers are invoiced monthly in advance. Invoices are payable within 14 days by bank transfer. Late payment may attract statutory interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 where the contract is between businesses.
6. Delivery
Timetables are agreed in the proposal and depend on you supplying content, access, credentials and decisions when we ask for them. If something we depend on is delayed, the timetable moves by the same period and we will tell you in writing. We will notify you promptly of any delay on our side and agree a revised date with you.
7. Cancellation
Either party may end an engagement by giving 14 days' written notice. You pay for work completed and for any third-party costs already committed up to the end of the notice period; nothing further is owed.
Consumers: if you are contracting as a consumer rather than a business, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of the contract being formed, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, without giving a reason. If you asked us to begin work inside that period, you must pay for what has been done up to the moment you cancel. To cancel, email [email protected].
8. Refunds
Where you cancel within the statutory period described above, we refund any amount you have paid over and above the value of work already carried out, within 14 days of being told you are cancelling and by the method you paid. Where the service we have supplied is not carried out with reasonable care and skill, your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply and we will re-perform the work or, where that is impossible or disproportionate, refund the affected part of the fee. Deposits covering work already completed are not refundable.
9. Intellectual property
We own the code and the design deliverables until the final invoice for them is paid in full. On full payment, all intellectual property rights in the bespoke deliverables transfer to you, together with the repository and its history. We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools and libraries and grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use them within the delivered work. Any material you supply remains yours, and you confirm you have the right to give it to us.
10. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, our total liability for any engagement is capped at the total fees you have paid us for that engagement, and we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings or any indirect or consequential loss. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of live data.
11. Disputes
Tell us first: email [email protected] and we will respond within 5 working days and try to settle it directly. If that fails, both parties agree to attempt mediation through a recognised UK mediation provider before starting proceedings. Failing that, the courts have jurisdiction as set out below.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
13. Cookie Policy
This website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and loads no third-party tracking scripts.
performhub_cookie_choice — a strictly necessary item stored in your browser's local storage. It records whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice, so the notice is not shown again. It holds no identifier, expires only when you clear it, and is never sent to a third party.
Third-party requests are limited to the Google Fonts and cdnjs content delivery networks, which serve the typefaces and the animation library used on these pages. Those requests set no cookies. You can remove your stored choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings; the notice will then appear again on your next visit.
