Terms of Service.

Source Code Lab AI provides AI engineering and technology services to businesses. Depending on the engagement, these services may include AI product development, AI agents, RAG and knowledge systems, document AI, workflow automation, software engineering, technical consulting, and AI training.

You must have the legal capacity and authority to accept these Terms. If you use our website or engage our services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to act on its behalf.

These Terms apply to website use unless a separate written agreement governs the relevant matter. The scope, fees, timelines, deliverables, acceptance criteria, support, and other project-specific terms will be set out in the applicable written agreement.

You agree not to:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purposes.
• Attempt unauthorized access to our systems, accounts, or infrastructure.
• Introduce malicious code or interfere with website operations or security.
• Scrape, copy, or systematically extract website content in violation of applicable law or third-party rights.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or authority.
• Use the website in a way that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect our website, users, systems, or legal interests.

Before commencing a client engagement, we may agree on project scope, deliverables, milestones, dependencies, fees, payment schedules, acceptance criteria, and support arrangements in a written proposal or contract.

Delivery dates and estimates depend on the agreed scope, timely client feedback, access to required systems, availability of third-party services, and other project dependencies. We will communicate material changes in scope or delivery expectations through the applicable project process.

Any change to scope, fees, or deadlines should be documented and approved by the parties in writing where required by the applicable agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, clients are responsible for:

• Providing accurate requirements, timely feedback, and necessary approvals.
• Ensuring they have the rights and permissions required to provide data, documents, code, and other materials to us.
• Maintaining appropriate backups of their systems and data.
• Safeguarding credentials, API keys, accounts, and access permissions under their control.
• Reviewing and testing deliverables before production use.
• Ensuring their intended use of a solution complies with applicable laws, regulations, and third-party terms.

We may rely on information and instructions supplied by the client, subject to the obligations expressly agreed in writing.

AI systems, including large language models, AI agents, retrieval systems, and document-processing tools, may generate inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, biased, or unexpected outputs. Outputs may change as models, data, configurations, and third-party services change.

Unless expressly agreed in a written contract, AI outputs are not guaranteed to be error-free, complete, unique, or suitable for a particular decision or purpose.

Clients are responsible for evaluating AI outputs and implementing appropriate testing, monitoring, access controls, human review, and escalation procedures for their use case. Outputs affecting legal rights, finances, health, safety, employment, or other significant interests should receive appropriate qualified review.

We do not guarantee that a third-party AI model, API, cloud service, or external platform will remain available, unchanged, or compatible with a solution indefinitely.

Our services may integrate with third-party AI models, APIs, cloud providers, software libraries, open-source components, and external platforms. These components may be subject to separate terms, licences, pricing, usage restrictions, and privacy policies.

Where applicable, clients must comply with the terms governing their use of those services. Third-party charges, subscriptions, usage limits, or account requirements will be handled as stated in the relevant project agreement.

We are not responsible for independent changes, outages, or decisions made by third-party providers, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded or is expressly accepted in a written agreement.

Our materials: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Source Code Lab AI retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, methodologies, reusable tools, libraries, frameworks, templates, know-how, and general technical expertise.

Client materials: The client retains ownership of materials, data, documents, code, and other intellectual property it owns and provides to us. The client grants us the limited rights necessary to use those materials to perform the agreed services.

Project deliverables: Ownership, assignment, licensing, and permitted use of custom code, documentation, designs, and other deliverables will be governed by the applicable written agreement. If that agreement is silent, no transfer of ownership is implied beyond rights granted by applicable law.

Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their respective licences. AI-generated material may be subject to additional legal or contractual limitations.

Each party should protect the other party's confidential information and use it only for the purposes permitted by the applicable agreement or otherwise authorized in writing.

Confidentiality obligations, permitted disclosures, security requirements, personal data processing, and data deletion arrangements may be further specified in a signed contract or data processing agreement.

Our processing of personal information through the website is described in our Privacy Policy. If we process personal data on a client's behalf, the applicable contractual data protection terms will govern that processing where required.

Fees, payment schedules, taxes, expenses, invoicing arrangements, and any recurring charges will be specified in the applicable proposal, invoice, or written agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Clients are responsible for charges allocated to them under the applicable agreement.

Any late-payment consequences, suspension rights, refunds, cancellation charges, or termination fees will be governed by the applicable written agreement and applicable law.

We will perform professional services in accordance with the commitments expressly set out in the applicable written agreement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and any materials made available on it are provided on an "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, completely secure, or free of errors.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any warranties expressly given in a signed project agreement will apply according to their terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential losses, including loss of profits, revenue, anticipated savings, business opportunities, or data, arising from the relevant services or these Terms.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability that cannot legally be waived.

To the extent permitted by law, each party's responsibility for third-party claims arising from its breach of contract, unlawful conduct, infringement, or misuse of the other party's materials should be governed by the applicable written agreement.

No indemnity is created by this section beyond obligations expressly agreed in writing or imposed by applicable law.

We may suspend website access where reasonably necessary to address security threats, unlawful activity, or material interference with our systems.

Termination of a consulting or development engagement, including notice periods, outstanding fees, handover obligations, and return or deletion of data, will be governed by the applicable written agreement.

Terms that by their nature should continue after termination, including applicable confidentiality, intellectual property, payment, and liability provisions, will survive to the extent stated in the relevant agreement or required by law.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Revised terms will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Changes to an existing client engagement will be governed by the change provisions in its written agreement and applicable law.

These Terms and the resolution of disputes arising from them will be governed by the laws of [Insert governing jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law principles, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The courts of [Insert agreed courts or venue] will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights or rules that apply to the parties.

If a separate signed agreement specifies governing law, jurisdiction, arbitration, or dispute-resolution procedures, that agreement will control for the matters within its scope.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

These Terms do not create a partnership, employment relationship, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party may assign rights or obligations where prohibited by the applicable agreement or law.
