Terms that keep the working relationship clear

By accessing this website or engaging Software Savants for services, you agree to these Terms of Service and any additional written agreements that apply to your engagement.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the website or proceed with a service engagement.

You may use this website for lawful business and informational purposes only. You may not use the site in a way that damages, disables, overburdens, or interferes with our systems or other users.

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, related infrastructure, analytics systems, forms, or supporting services.

Software Savants provides strategy, design, software development, advisory, and related delivery services. The exact scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and working model for any engagement are defined in the applicable proposal, statement of work, invoice, or written agreement.

If there is any conflict between these terms and a signed client agreement, the signed client agreement will control for that engagement.

Clients are responsible for providing timely access, approvals, feedback, content, credentials, and decision-making needed to keep an engagement moving.

Delays in approvals, missing inputs, changing priorities, or unclear stakeholder direction may affect project timelines, scope, sequencing, and delivery commitments.

Fees, billing schedules, and payment terms are defined in the relevant commercial agreement or invoice. Unless otherwise stated, payments are due according to the agreed billing terms and may become overdue if not paid on time.

Software Savants may pause work, hold delivery, or decline additional scope if invoices are overdue or if payment obligations are not being met.

Each party retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property, tools, frameworks, methods, and materials. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of pre-existing assets unless stated in writing.

Subject to full payment of applicable fees, clients typically receive the rights to the custom deliverables expressly described in the engagement agreement, while Software Savants may retain ownership of underlying know-how, reusable systems, and internal accelerators.

Projects may rely on third-party platforms, APIs, infrastructure providers, design tools, open-source packages, or external services. Their availability, pricing, policies, and performance are outside our direct control.

Software Savants is not responsible for outages, policy changes, pricing changes, security events, or limitations caused by third-party tools or providers.

The website and services are provided on an as-available and as-applicable basis, except where a written agreement expressly states otherwise. We do not guarantee uninterrupted site availability or outcomes beyond the scope we agree to deliver.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Software Savants will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of the website or services.

Either party may terminate a service engagement according to the termination provisions in the applicable written agreement or by reasonable written notice where no separate termination clause exists.

Termination does not remove responsibility for fees already earned, direct costs already incurred, or obligations that are intended to survive termination, including payment, confidentiality, and ownership provisions where applicable.

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or commercial changes. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page.

Continued use of the website or continued engagement with our services after an update means the current version will apply going forward unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.
