These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Vysok website and any engagement of our services. By using our website or hiring us, you agree to these Terms.
1. About us
Vysok is a software studio that designs and builds custom software for businesses. You can reach us at hello@vysok.com.
2. Use of the website
You may browse, read, and share content on our website for any lawful purpose. You agree not to use the website to do anything illegal, scrape it at scale without permission, attempt to break or interfere with it, or impersonate Vysok in any way.
The content on our website (text, design, code, images, logos) is owned by Vysok or used with permission. You may not copy, republish, or commercially reuse it without our written consent. References to client work are used with permission from the client.
3. Engagement of services
When you hire Vysok for a project, the specific terms of that engagement are governed by a separate written agreement (a statement of work, master services agreement, or engagement letter). That agreement controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms.
In the absence of a separate agreement, the following baseline applies to any work we agree to perform:
Scope and price. Every engagement is scoped during a discovery call and confirmed in writing with a fixed price for an agreed scope. Out-of-scope work is re-scoped and re-priced openly before it starts.
Payment. Invoices are due within 14 days unless agreed otherwise in writing. We typically invoice 50% on engagement and 50% on delivery for fixed-scope work, and monthly in arrears for retainers. We invoice in USD or EUR depending on your region.
Timeline. We provide estimated timelines in writing as part of every engagement. Delays caused by missing information, content, access, or approvals from your side may shift the delivery date.
Communication. We work in two-week cycles with weekly demos. You will have a direct line to the people building your project.
4. Intellectual property
Your data and content. Anything you provide to us as part of a project (content, brand assets, data, credentials) remains yours. We use it only to deliver the work.
Deliverables. Upon final payment, ownership of the deliverables created specifically for your project (source code, designs, documentation) transfers to you. You may use, modify, and re-license those deliverables freely.
Our pre-existing IP. Vysok retains ownership of any pre-existing code, tools, libraries, design systems, or frameworks that we owned before your engagement and that we may incorporate into your deliverables. You receive a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use them as part of your project.
Portfolio rights. Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may reference your engagement in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, using your company name and a high-level description of the work. We will respect any reasonable confidentiality request.
5. Confidentiality
We treat anything you share with us during an engagement that is not publicly available as confidential. We do not share it with anyone outside our team, except as needed to deliver the work or as required by law.
6. Warranties
We will perform our services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with industry standards.
Beyond that, the services and any content provided on the website are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website or services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vysok's total liability arising out of or related to your use of the website or our services will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred USD if you have not paid us anything.
We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Vysok harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your misuse of our website or services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third party's rights.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with reasonable written notice. If you terminate, you pay for work performed up to the termination date plus any committed costs already incurred. We will deliver everything in our possession that you have paid for.
Your use of the website may be suspended or terminated at any time if you violate these Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Vysok is established, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless your engagement agreement specifies otherwise.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
