Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website rymote.io and the consulting and software development services provided by Rymote LLC ("Rymote", "we", "us"), a Wyoming limited liability company. By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Services

Rymote provides venture and product development services, including product strategy and validation, design and prototyping, custom software development, company formation assistance, fundraising preparation support (such as pitch materials and financial models), and ongoing development and advisory services. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement are defined in a written proposal or statement of work ("SOW") signed by both parties. If a SOW conflicts with these Terms, the SOW controls for that engagement.

Rymote is not a law firm, accounting firm, broker-dealer, or investment adviser. Company formation and fundraising support are practical assistance, not legal, tax, or investment advice; we will recommend licensed professionals where appropriate.

2. Proposals and changes

Proposals are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. Changes to scope after signature are handled through a written change request describing the impact on timeline and fees. We do not begin out-of-scope work without your written approval.

3. Fees and payment

• Fees are stated in the applicable SOW in United States dollars unless agreed otherwise.
• Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date by ACH, wire transfer, or card. Card payments are processed by Stripe, Inc.
• Late amounts may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. We may suspend work on accounts more than 30 days past due.
• Refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
• You are responsible for any applicable sales or similar taxes, excluding taxes on our income.

4. Client responsibilities

You agree to provide timely access to the people, systems, credentials, and information reasonably needed to perform the work, and to review deliverables within the review periods stated in the SOW. Delays caused by missing access or feedback may extend the timeline and, where stated in the SOW, affect fees.

5. Intellectual property

• Upon full payment, deliverables created specifically for you under a SOW are assigned to you, including source code, designs, and documentation.
• Rymote retains ownership of pre-existing tools, libraries, and know-how. To the extent any are embedded in deliverables, you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use them as part of the deliverables.
• Open-source components remain governed by their respective licenses.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other's non-public information with at least the same care it uses for its own confidential information, and to use it only for purposes of the engagement. This obligation survives termination for 3 years, and indefinitely for trade secrets. A separate signed NDA, if any, controls over this section.

7. Warranties and disclaimer

We warrant that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. For 30 days after delivery, we will correct at no charge any deliverable that materially fails to conform to its SOW specification.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED ABOVE, SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA. EACH PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF AN ENGAGEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE UNDER THE APPLICABLE SOW IN THE 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY, INFRINGEMENT OF THE OTHER PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate a SOW for material breach if the breach is not cured within 15 days of written notice, or for convenience as described in the SOW and our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Upon termination you pay for work performed through the termination date, and we deliver all work in progress that has been paid for.

10. Independent contractor

Rymote is an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally within 30 days of written notice. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and each party consents to their jurisdiction.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The version in effect on the date a SOW is signed governs that engagement. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms for website use.
