Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing the website (qubikstack.com) or engaging QubikStack for software Quality Assurance, testing automation, or web/app development services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, along with any project-specific Master Services Agreement (MSA) or Statement of Work (SOW) executed between the parties.

2. Services & Statements of Work

QubikStack provides technical consulting, software testing, QA staff augmentation, and full-stack software development services. Detailed project deliverables, sprint schedules, milestones, acceptance criteria, and fee structures will be defined in written Statements of Work. In the event of a conflict between these general Terms and an executed SOW, the specific terms of the SOW shall govern.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership (Work-for-Hire)

You own your software. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing:

• Upon receipt of agreed payments, all custom source code, test automation repositories, test plans, and documentation created specifically for the client by QubikStack are considered "work made for hire" and become the sole intellectual property of the client.
• QubikStack retains ownership of pre-existing proprietary tools, internal boilerplates, and general programming libraries that are not unique to the client's proprietary business logic.
• Open-source libraries (e.g., Playwright, React, PostgreSQL) remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.

4. Client Responsibilities & Cooperation

To achieve high velocity and meet delivery milestones, clients agree to provide reasonable cooperation, including timely access to code repositories, test environments, API documentation, design assets, and prompt feedback on sprint demonstrations and bug reports.

5. Non-Disclosure & Confidentiality

Each party agrees to maintain strict confidentiality regarding the other party's proprietary information, business plans, software architectures, credentials, and source code. Confidential information will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written consent, except as required by law.

6. Warranties & Quality Guarantee

QubikStack warrants that all services will be performed in a professional, workmanlike manner adhering to current industry engineering standards.

• For project-based software development, we provide a 30-day post-launch warranty period to remediate critical defects non-compliant with agreed SOW specifications at no additional cost.
• While our QA testing services are designed to eliminate software defects, software environments are complex and dynamic; QA verification does not constitute an absolute guarantee that third-party systems or external dependencies will operate without interruption.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. QubikStack's aggregate liability arising out of or related to an engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client under the applicable Statement of Work during the three (3) months preceding the incident.

8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and any contractual disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
