Terms of Service

Welcome to the Terms of Service of BitBuds Inc. These terms form the agreement under which BitBuds Inc, the digital product nursery inside Salt Lake City, supplies its growth services and opens its website. Read them beside the Privacy Policy before you engage us or place a paid order.

The words this is a binding contract are simple to say but easy to forget, so we set them first. When you book a program, download a quotation, or begin to rely on our advice, you agree to be bound by the version of these terms published on the day your work begins.

If any part sits awkwardly with you, write to message@bitbuds.buzz before you sign. We settle genuine questions early rather than let them swell into a dispute later in the growing season.

BitBuds Inc is a company organised under the laws of the United States, with its greenhouse workshop at 720 E 5TH Ave APT 8, Salt Lake City - 84103-3650, United States (US). It focuses its craft on computer systems design and related services, and more specifically on computer integrated systems design for products that must grow in step with real users.

The services are delivered by our in house nursery hands along with trusted subcontracted specialists where a task needs a rare skill. A subcontracted hand carries the same confidentiality duties as our own staff and never owns the finished work you buy.

Our telephone number +19017424262 rings the shed floor, and our inbox message@bitbuds.buzz carries every written exchange. Both belong to the company as a whole rather than to one wandering contractor.

You accept these terms the moment you take any one of the following steps: you submit the contact form, you telephone +19017424262 and request a service, you sign a quotation we send, or you pay a deposit toward a program. Whichever step comes first binds that engagement to this agreement.

A child, a person without authority to bind the company they claim to represent, and a robot that fills forms for no human all lack the power to accept. We may refuse to start work until the signing hand shows clean authority and a live billing address.

Where our quotation sets a separate order form, the terms on that paper join these terms. If the two ever disagree, the specific line of the order wins over the general line of the page you are reading now.

BitBuds Inc grows digital products through six named programs, each described in detail on the services page of this website:

• Product Seedling Audits, where we read the health of a young product and produce a scored report.
• Growth Grafting Programs, where we join new capability onto a living product stem.
• Root System Architecture, where we rebuild the data, integration, and domain foundation.
• Greenhouse Analytics, where we install instrumentation and read the numbers that steer growth.
• Pruning and Refactor Care, where we cut dead code and simplify tangled workflows.
• Transplant Migrations, where we move a product between hosting, clouds, or frameworks without shock.

Services are delivered as projects scoped in advance. We do not offer open ended ongoing hosting unless a separate agreement says so, and we do not act as a general staff agency.

Every engagement begins from a written scope that names the deliverables, the acceptance criteria, and the season or milestone dates. The scope is the soil map; work stays inside that map unless the map grows by agreement.

A request that falls outside the written scope, such as a sudden wish to add a whole new module beside an agreed audit, becomes a change request. We quote the change separately and it starts only when you approve its price in writing.

We design scopes to be honest rather than glamorous. A quoted price reflects the crops we actually sowed, and a scope that delights on paper but starves your product in practice serves no one, so we under promise and over deliver with disciplined ceremony.

A crop grows best when both gardeners tend it. The client agrees to give BitBuds Inc honest access to the product, clear answers to questions, and the decisions that only the owner can make, within the time our milestones assume.

• Grant secure access to repositories, servers, and accounts that the scoped work requires.
• Name one real point of contact so messages do not bounce between strangers.
• Answer review questions fast enough to keep each milestone on its calendar date.
• Provide truthful details about the product, its users, and any prior security trouble.

If a client pauses the flow, the milestone dates slide by the number of working days that decision cost. That rule is fairness in both directions, and it keeps the shed calendar honest for other crops.

Fees appear on the quotation you approve. Unless that paper says otherwise, engagements less than a full season are billed a small deposit on signing, with the balance due upon acceptance of the completed scope. Larger programs collect staged payments at each agreed milestone.

All prices are stated in United States Dollars. We invoice by email to a valid billing address, and payment falls due within fourteen days of the invoice date unless the quotation fixes another term.

A charge that a tax law adds to our services, a sales or value added tax for example, is added where the law applies and shown separately on the invoice. You pay no hidden fee that was not written down when you approved the quote.

A quotation represents our best read of the ground after an enquiry. It carries a validity window, usually thirty days, because the soil of a product can change while a quote sleeps in an inbox.

An estimate is looser than a quotation. It flags a likely range for a task whose true shape is not yet known, such as a tangled legacy system that hides surprises until we touch it. We convert the estimate into a fixed quotation once an audit has shown us the real roots.

We prefer fixed quotations for their peace. When a fixed price holds, a surprise that costs us hours never walks back to your invoice, and a win we find along the way stays yours as well.

A grower cannot feed a nursery on promises alone. If an invoice stays unpaid past its date, BitBuds Inc sends a gentle reminder, then a firmer one, and then applies interest at a rate allowed by the law of the place governing this agreement.

We also hold the door to pause work until stale accounts clear. Work already harvested belongs to the client under section ten, but a fresh season does not begin while an old invoice stands yellow and unpaid on the bench.

Reasonable collection costs a client forces on us by refusing a proper bill may be passed back. Those costs appear on the written demand and never sneak onto a quiet line of future work.

The moment a client pays in full for a scoped deliverable, ownership of that finalized work passes to the client. This is the clean heart of our agreement: you pay for the crop and the crop becomes yours to sow elsewhere.

BitBuds Inc keeps a reusable memory of the craft, such as generic processes, internal checklists, and the plain language that describes greenhouse style itself. That know how stays ours, while the specific product touches inside the deliverable become yours.

Until the final balance clears, prospective ownership remains with us as a simple security. The security disappears the moment the invoice settles, and no extra document is needed to release it.

Each side may hear confidential facts about the other during a project: a business plan, a price structure, a security concern, or a product roadmap that has not yet reached the public rows. Both sides guard those facts as their own.

Confidential information is used only to perform this agreement and shared only with a person who needs it for that same work and who carries a matching duty of silence. It is not used to chase a rival crop or to prepare a competing bid.

The duty of confidence does not bind information that was already public, that lawfully arrived from another source, or that a law forces a party to reveal. Even then, the revealing party gives early notice where the law allows so the other side can guard its crown.

The tools BitBuds Inc brings to its work, its internal libraries, its written methodology, and the look of this website remain our intellectual property. Using a service does not hand over those rights.

Each side warrants that the material it contributes does not trespass on a third party claim. BitBuds Inc licenses the software and fonts it needs, and the client declares that the product code they hand us is theirs to let us touch.

If someone later claims an infringement, the contributing party steps in to defend and carries the cost of a clean defense. The other side gives prompt notice and reasonable help, because a good neighbor helps fight a shared frost.

Modern products lean on outside shelves. Our work may use third party libraries, cloud platforms, analytics counters, or similar tools, and those tools keep their own terms that bind their own maker.

BitBuds Inc chooses reputable tools and updates them as part of its care, but we do not reissue a separate contract for a tool we do not make. The client accepts that a third party host or license sits between the two of us where such a shelf was used.

Where a tool licenses its content or code, we respect that license in the shipped work and tell you the license on request. A clean nursery does not leave stray third party weeds in a client field.

BitBuds Inc warrants that the work it delivers meets the written scope and runs in the honest way we describe for a period of sixty days after acceptance. A defect that shows its face inside that window earns a free repair.

Beyond that limited warranty, we make no promise that a product will never fail, that it will outrun every competitor, or that a grafted feature will capture every user. Software grows in a weather of market and machine that no nursery fully controls.

No guide on this website is offered as a binding prediction of results. Our pages describe method and craft, and we urge a reader to treat a case study as a photograph of one season rather than a pledge about their own.

Neither party holds the other liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profit, lost revenue, or a loss of expected savings, even where the party foresaw such a loss at the time the agreement was signed.

Each party caps its total liability under an engagement at the amount the client actually paid for that engagement, so the ceiling of any claim stays in step with the size of the work. A small audit cannot sponsor an enormous demand.

Nothing in this section removes a liability the law will not allow to be lifted, such as liability for fraud, for death or injury caused by neglect, or for a duty a court holds firmly non exempt. Those few duties stand as they always stood.

Either side may end a specific engagement on written notice where the other side breaks a material duty and does not mend it within fourteen days of a note naming the break. Ending under this clause closes the current stage without penalty.

A client may also pause a program early for a reason of its own, provided it pays for the completed milestones already accepted plus any reasonable costs of stopping work in mid stage. A partial harvest is still worth its soil.

On termination, each side returns or destroys the other side confidential material on request, and the sections of these terms that were written to survive, such as confidentiality, ownership, and limitation of liability, live on after the engagement itself falls quiet.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah and the federal laws of the United States, without reference to their conflict of law rules. The courts of Salt Lake City hold the first and natural seat for any dispute that cannot be settled over the fence.

Before a suit begins, both parties promise to try a quiet working meeting, by video or at the shed, to see whether the trouble can be watered rather than burned. Most nursery disagreements end in that meeting with a share of the cost and a mended gate.

Any claim that a party brings must start within the shortest window the law allows for a claim of its kind. A stale grievance that waited years past its season finds no welcome in this shed, and each side waives a trial by jury where that waiver is lawful and sensible.

Any notice required or permitted under these terms travels in writing. A notice reaches BitBuds Inc when it lands at our shed, at BitBuds Inc, 720 E 5TH Ave APT 8, Salt Lake City - 84103-3650, United States (US), or when it arrives unopened in our inbox at message@bitbuds.buzz.

A notice to a client reaches that client at the billing address or email address the client last gave us. Every party keeps its own address current and tells the other the moment a contact detail changes.

Questions about a bill, a scope, or a clause in these terms find the same door. Phone the shed on +19017424262 during working hours or write any time to message@bitbuds.buzz, and a named hand at BitBuds Inc will answer with the clarity a nursery owes its growers.
