Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website, submitting the contact form, or engaging Corvalis LLC for services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use this website or our services.

Services

Corvalis LLC provides custom software development, AI integration, and automation services. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each project are defined in a separate project agreement between Corvalis LLC and the client.

Any changes to the agreed-upon scope, deliverables, or timeline require written agreement from both parties. Verbal requests or informal messages do not constitute a change order. Additional work beyond the original scope will be quoted and must be approved in writing before work begins.

Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, ownership of all custom work product created specifically for your project transfers to you. This includes source code, designs, and documentation produced as part of the engagement.

Pre-existing intellectual property, tools, libraries, and frameworks owned by Corvalis LLC or third parties remain the property of their respective owners. Where pre-existing tools are used in your project, you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use them as part of the delivered work.

Open Source Components

Deliverables may incorporate open-source software components, each subject to its own license terms (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD). We will disclose any open-source dependencies included in your project. You are responsible for complying with applicable open-source license terms when distributing or modifying the delivered software. Corvalis LLC does not use copyleft licenses (e.g., GPL, AGPL) in client deliverables without prior written approval from the client.

AI-Powered Services

Where our services include artificial intelligence, machine learning, or automated decision-making features, the following applies:

• • AI outputs may contain errors, hallucinations, or inaccuracies. AI-generated content should not be relied upon as professional, legal, medical, or financial advice without human review.
• • The client is responsible for implementing appropriate human oversight, validation, and safeguards before deploying AI features to end users.
• • Corvalis LLC is not liable for decisions made by, or actions taken in reliance on, AI-generated outputs after delivery.
• • The client is responsible for ensuring their use of AI tools complies with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-discrimination, consumer protection, and data privacy laws in their jurisdiction.

Corvalis LLC may also use AI-powered development tools (e.g., code generation, code review, testing assistance) during the development process to improve efficiency and code quality. All AI-assisted output is reviewed, validated, and tested by human engineers before inclusion in any deliverable. The use of AI tools does not reduce our obligations, warranties, or liability.

Payment

Payment terms are defined in each project agreement. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are due within 30 days of receipt. Late payments may result in work being paused until the balance is resolved.

Warranties

We warrant that all work will be performed in a professional manner consistent with industry standards and will substantially conform to the specifications agreed upon in the project agreement.

We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, or performance metrics unless explicitly stated in the project agreement. Software is delivered as described — what it does with your business depends on factors beyond our control.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY ABOVE, ALL SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Website Disclaimer

This website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Corvalis LLC does not warrant that the information on this website is accurate, complete, or current. Nothing on this website constitutes professional advice, a guarantee of results, or a binding offer. Any reliance on the content of this website is at your own risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Corvalis LLC's total liability for any claims arising from or related to our services is limited to the total fees paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. This mutual waiver applies to all claims arising under or related to these terms or any project agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Corvalis LLC, its members, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of our services; (b) materials, content, or instructions you provide to us; (c) your violation of these terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

Confidentiality

We treat all client information as confidential. Project details, business data, and technical specifications shared during an engagement are not disclosed to third parties without your written consent. We're happy to sign NDAs before any technical discussions.

Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement with 14 days written notice. Upon termination:

• • The client pays for all work completed through the termination date
• • All completed work product is delivered to the client
• • Confidentiality obligations survive termination

Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failure to perform obligations due to events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of government, internet or infrastructure outages, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, labor disputes, or third-party service failures. Affected timelines will be extended by the duration of the delay.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the services provided by Corvalis LLC shall be resolved as follows:

• • Informal Resolution. The parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of 30 days from written notice of the dispute.
• • Binding Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in the State of Alabama. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
• • Class Action Waiver. All disputes shall be resolved on an individual basis. Neither party may bring claims as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
• • Exceptions. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information without first engaging in arbitration.

Entire Agreement

These terms, together with any signed project agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. They supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, proposals, negotiations, representations, and communications, whether written or oral. No statement, promise, or representation made outside of these written agreements shall be binding on either party.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as our services evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where possible, provide notice via email to active clients. Changes take effect 30 days after the updated date unless otherwise noted. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should discontinue use of our services.
