Terms of service

Using this website

You may read, print and share these pages. You may not republish them as your own, scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for others, or use it to train a model without permission.

The site is provided as it is. We aim to keep it accurate and available but do not guarantee either, and reserve the right to change or withdraw any part of it without notice.

Prices, quotes and estimates

The ranges published on the pricing page are indicative and exist so you can judge whether a conversation is worth having. They are not an offer capable of acceptance.

A binding price comes only from a written quotation for your specific scope. Quotations are valid for thirty days. Fixed-price work stays fixed unless the scope changes, and a scope change is quoted and approved in writing before any work on it starts.

Payment

Projects are usually invoiced in stages — commonly forty per cent at the start, thirty at an agreed midpoint, thirty on delivery. Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance.

Invoices are due within fourteen days unless the agreement says otherwise. Late payment may attract statutory interest and may pause work; where that happens you will be told before it does, not afterwards. Prices exclude VAT or sales tax where applicable.

Ownership of the work

On receipt of full payment, all rights in the deliverables created specifically for you transfer to you outright — code, designs, prompts, evaluation suites and documentation.

Two things sit outside that. The first is background IP: tools, libraries and patterns We bring with us and reuse across clients. You get a perpetual, irrevocable licence to use those as part of your deliverable, but not exclusive ownership of them. The second is third-party components: open-source libraries and commercial services remain under their own licences, which are disclosed to you and are your responsibility to comply with going forward.

Until payment is complete, ownership stays with us.

What we need from you

Delivery dates assume agreed access, timely decisions and feedback within the turnaround set out in the agreement — usually three working days. Where a delay is caused on either side, it is raised in writing at the time along with a revised date, rather than mentioned at the end.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of the data you give us access to, for having the rights to it, and for any regulatory approval your industry requires.

Third-party services and AI models

Most builds depend on services we do not control: model providers, cloud hosts, vector databases, payment processors. Their costs are billed to you at cost with no markup, usually direct to your own accounts so you keep control of them.

Their availability, pricing, model versions and terms can change without notice, and we cannot be responsible for changes a provider makes. Where a change breaks something we built, fixing it is quoted as new work unless the agreement says otherwise or it falls inside a warranty period.

Confidentiality

Anything non-public you share is kept confidential and used only to do the work. The same applies in reverse to quotes, methods and materials we share with you. This survives the end of the engagement.

Unless you ask otherwise, we may name you as a client and describe the nature of the work in general terms. Nothing specific is published without your written approval.

Warranties and what is not promised

Work is carried out with reasonable skill and care, and defects reported within the warranty period in your agreement — usually thirty days from delivery — are fixed at no charge where they are genuine defects rather than changes of mind.

Beyond that, no warranty is given that software will be uninterrupted or error-free, and no commercial outcome is guaranteed. AI systems in particular are probabilistic: they are built, measured and tuned against an agreed accuracy bar, and they will still be wrong sometimes. The disclaimer page covers this in more detail.

Limitation of liability

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, liability for any claim is capped at the total fees paid for the engagement giving rise to it, and neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, lost revenue, lost data or lost goodwill. Your project agreement may set a different cap, and if it does, that one applies.

Ending an engagement

Either side may end an engagement in writing. If you end it, you pay for work completed and for committed third-party costs already incurred. If we end it other than for non-payment or unlawful instruction, you receive everything produced to that point and a refund of fees paid for work not done.

On termination, deliverables paid for transfer to you, credentials are revoked, and material you provided is returned or destroyed on request.

Governing law

These terms and any project agreement are governed by the law of the jurisdiction stated in your signed agreement, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Before either side goes to court we will spend thirty days trying to settle it directly.

Trademarks and third-party names

Hire AI Dev and the hire-ai-dev.com name and logo are trademarks of Hire AI Dev. Nothing on this site grants you a licence to use them.

Other product, company and technology names on this site — including Python, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud — are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners. They are used here only to describe the technologies we work with, which is permitted nominative use.

No affiliation, partnership, sponsorship or endorsement by any of those companies is claimed or implied. We are not a reseller, certified partner or authorised representative of any of them unless a page states otherwise in plain terms.

If you own a mark referenced here and consider the use incorrect, write to contact@hire-ai-dev.com and it will be corrected or removed promptly.

Software and typefaces used on this site

This site sets type in Inter by Rasmus Andersson, used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The licence is served alongside the font files at /fonts/OFL.txt.

Code we write for you is covered by the ownership terms above. Open-source components included in a delivery remain under their own licences, which are listed for you at hand-over so your team knows what obligations came with the code.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the date at the top will change when they are. The version in force for your project is the one in effect on the date your agreement was signed.
