Terms of Service

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service apply to qcdevworks.com and to QC Devworks services unless a signed written agreement says otherwise. By using the site, submitting a form, requesting an audit, or engaging QC Devworks for work, you agree to these terms.

For paid projects, the proposal, statement of work, order form, invoice, or other written agreement controls the project-specific scope, fees, payment schedule, delivery expectations, and support terms. If there is a conflict, the signed project document controls for that project.

Website use

• Use the website only for lawful purposes.
• Do not attempt to disrupt, scan, scrape, reverse engineer, overload, or compromise the site or related systems.
• Do not submit content that is unlawful, harmful, infringing, misleading, confidential without authorization, or infected with malware.
• We may update, suspend, remove, or limit parts of the site at any time.

Audits, calculators, and estimates

Free audits, ROI calculators, planning numbers, examples, timelines, and public pricing discussions are for evaluation and planning. They are not guarantees of savings, revenue, compliance, or project outcome.

Final scope, price, timeline, support obligations, and deliverables require a written proposal or statement of work accepted by both sides.

Client responsibilities

• Provide accurate information, timely feedback, approvals, access, credentials, sample data, and business rules needed for the work.
• Confirm that you have the right to provide any data, materials, systems access, or third-party credentials you give us.
• Review deliverables, test workflows, and report issues within the review windows stated in the project documents.
• Maintain responsibility for business decisions, compliance obligations, user permissions, and operational policies unless a written agreement states otherwise.

Services and application management

QC Devworks builds custom software, workflow systems, AI agents, integrations, internal tools, and related application services. Application management and development support apply to software we build or expressly agree to manage.

Application management does not include general IT support, device support, network administration, help desk services, cybersecurity monitoring, managed service provider work, or support for unrelated third-party systems unless those services are specifically listed in a written agreement.

Fees, payment, and taxes

Fees, deposits, milestones, recurring charges, payment timing, and late-payment terms are set in the applicable proposal, invoice, or statement of work. Unless stated otherwise, fees do not include taxes, third-party software, hosting, licenses, usage-based API costs, app store fees, payment processor fees, or vendor charges.

Ownership and licenses

Unless a project agreement says otherwise, once invoices for a project are paid in full, the client owns the custom deliverables created specifically for that client.

QC Devworks retains ownership of pre-existing materials, reusable code, tools, templates, know-how, processes, libraries, internal frameworks, and generalized components that were not created uniquely for the client. To the extent those materials are included in a deliverable, we grant the client a license to use them as needed to use the deliverable.

Third-party software, open-source packages, APIs, platforms, and vendor tools remain subject to their own licenses and terms.

Confidentiality

Each side may receive non-public business, technical, financial, customer, operational, or project information from the other. Each side agrees to use reasonable care to protect confidential information and to use it only for the relationship or project.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is public, already known without restriction, independently developed, rightfully received from another source, or required to be disclosed by law.

Third-party services

Projects often depend on third-party tools, APIs, cloud platforms, CRMs, payment processors, analytics services, AI providers, hosting vendors, or other platforms. Those services are controlled by their providers, not QC Devworks.

We are not responsible for third-party outages, pricing changes, feature changes, security incidents, policy changes, account restrictions, or terms. Client is responsible for maintaining required third-party accounts, licenses, billing, and permissions unless a written agreement says otherwise.

AI-enabled work

When a project includes AI agents, model integrations, automations, or generated outputs, those systems may be probabilistic and require appropriate review, testing, guardrails, permissions, monitoring, and human oversight. We design for practical risk reduction, but AI output should not be treated as error-free.

Disclaimers

The website is provided as-is and as-available. QC Devworks does not promise that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or always current.

Services and deliverables are governed by the warranties, if any, stated in the applicable written agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all other warranties are disclaimed, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, QC Devworks will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill.

Unless a written agreement states a different limit, QC Devworks total liability for website use is limited to $100, and total liability for paid services is limited to the amounts paid to QC Devworks for the specific project or service giving rise to the claim during the three months before the claim.

Termination

Either side may end a project or recurring service as allowed by the applicable written agreement. Ending a project does not remove payment obligations already incurred, confidentiality obligations, ownership terms, limitation of liability, or other terms that by their nature should continue.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue for disputes will be in state or federal courts located in Illinois unless a written agreement states otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The Last updated date shows when the current version took effect. Changes apply prospectively unless a written agreement says otherwise.
