Terms of Service

Last updated: May 12, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website operated by Addy Networks ("Addy Networks", "we", "us", or "our"), located at addynetworks.com, and any services, content, or consulting engagements we provide through it (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Who we are

Addy Networks is an independent engineering practice offering AI consulting, Micro SaaS product development, and I.T. infrastructure rebuilding services. Specific scope, deliverables, fees, and timelines for any paid engagement are set out in a separate written Statement of Work or Master Services Agreement, which controls over these Terms in case of conflict.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Use of the website

You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use of the website. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to:

  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the website, related systems, or networks;
  • introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
  • scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract data through automated means without prior written consent;
  • misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity.

4. Consulting engagements

4.1 Statements of Work

Paid engagements are governed by a signed Statement of Work ("SOW") that defines scope, deliverables, milestones, fees, and acceptance criteria. Any work outside the SOW is treated as a change request and requires written agreement before it is performed.

4.2 Client cooperation

Timely delivery depends on reasonable client cooperation, including timely access to systems, data, decision-makers, and feedback. Delays caused by client unavailability may extend timelines and, where applicable, project fees on a documented time-and-materials basis.

4.3 Acceptance

Deliverables are deemed accepted on the earlier of (a) written client acceptance, (b) deployment to a production environment by or on behalf of the client, or (c) ten (10) business days after delivery without written notice of a material deficiency.

5. Fees and payment

Fees, payment schedule, and currency are stated in the SOW. Invoices are due within fifteen (15) days of issue unless otherwise specified. Late amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. We may pause work on overdue accounts after written notice.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Pre-existing materials

Each party retains ownership of its own pre-existing materials. We grant the client a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use any of our pre-existing or generally reusable materials incorporated into a deliverable solely for the client's internal business purposes.

6.2 Deliverables

Upon full payment, custom deliverables produced specifically under an SOW are assigned to the client, excluding our pre-existing materials and any third-party or open-source components, which remain governed by their respective licenses.

6.3 AI-assisted work

Some deliverables may be produced with the assistance of AI tools. We use professional judgment regarding which tools are appropriate, review AI-generated output for quality and licensing, and disclose materially AI-assisted work where reasonably required.

7. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other party's confidential information using at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and not less than a reasonable degree of care. Confidential information does not include information that is publicly known, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without restriction.

8. Warranties and disclaimers

We warrant that Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with prevailing industry standards. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THESE TERMS OR AN APPLICABLE SOW, THE SERVICES AND WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY THE CLIENT TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

10. Indemnification

Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from third-party claims to the extent caused by its gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms, subject to prompt notice, sole control of the defense, and reasonable cooperation.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach if the breach remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice. Upon termination, the client will pay for all work performed and expenses incurred through the effective date of termination. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including confidentiality, IP, payment, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, for any dispute that is not resolved through good-faith negotiation.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Services after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
