Legal
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your use of the YottaDynamics website and, together with any signed engagement agreement, the delivery of our consulting services. By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms.
Website Use
The YottaDynamics website is provided for informational purposes. You may access and use the site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use the site in any way that violates applicable law, infringes on the rights of others, or disrupts the site's operation.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from such modifications or unavailability.
Content on this site — including text, graphics, case study descriptions, and methodology materials — is owned by YottaDynamics or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.
Services
Our consulting services are provided under separately negotiated engagement agreements, statements of work, or service order forms. Those documents, together with these Terms, govern each engagement. In the event of a conflict, the engagement agreement takes precedence.
YottaDynamics reserves the right to decline any engagement at our sole discretion. Acceptance of an inquiry or discovery call does not constitute a commitment to provide services.
All deliverables are provided as described in the applicable engagement agreement. We make no warranties beyond those expressly stated in that agreement. Services are provided 'as-is' to the extent not otherwise specified.
Ownership of Work Product
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, YottaDynamics retains ownership of all methodologies, frameworks, tools, and pre-existing intellectual property used in delivering services. Deliverables created specifically for a client engagement are assigned to the client upon receipt of full payment, as specified in the engagement agreement.
Clients grant YottaDynamics a limited license to use client-provided materials solely to the extent necessary to perform the contracted services. We will not use your confidential information or proprietary systems for any purpose outside of the engagement.
We may reference completed engagements in anonymized or aggregated form for business development purposes, including on our website as case studies. We will seek your consent before using identifiable information.
Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate and complete information necessary for us to deliver services, granting access to systems and personnel as required under the engagement agreement, reviewing and providing timely feedback on deliverables, and ensuring appropriate internal authorization for the engagement.
We are not responsible for delays or deficiencies in our work that result from inaccurate information, restricted access, or failure to provide timely feedback.
You agree to use any recommendations, architectures, or code provided by YottaDynamics responsibly and in accordance with applicable law. You are solely responsible for production decisions and the outcomes of implementing our recommendations.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, YottaDynamics shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption — arising from your use of our website or services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from or relating to services provided under an engagement agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the relevant engagement during the three months preceding the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or liability for consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Confidential Information
Both parties may share confidential information in the course of an engagement. Each party agrees to protect the other's confidential information with at least the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information, and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this agreement, is independently developed without use of confidential information, or is required to be disclosed by law or regulation.
These obligations survive termination of any engagement for a period of three years, unless a longer period is specified in the engagement agreement.
Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
These Terms and any engagement agreements are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute not resolved by good-faith negotiation shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the United States under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
You agree that any claim must be brought within one year of the event giving rise to the claim, except where a longer period is required by applicable law.
Changes and Contact
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the 'Last updated' date above. Continued use of our website or ongoing engagements after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right.
