The terms behind every YATE Web engagement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“Client”, “you”) and YATE Web Ltd. (“YATE Web”, “we”, “us”), a company providing AI-assisted software development, design, and integration services. By signing a Statement of Work (“SOW”), submitting an audit request, or otherwise engaging us, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms.

If a signed SOW conflicts with these Terms, the SOW prevails for that specific engagement.

We deliver web, mobile, and AI integration services as described in the relevant SOW. Each SOW lists the deliverables, the team, the timeline, the assumptions we made when scoping, and the price. Work outside the SOW is treated as a change request and quoted separately.

• Discovery and design. Research, scoping, prototypes, user flows, design system work.
• Engineering. Frontend, backend, mobile, data, and AI integration work.
• Methodology. Documented playbooks, prompts, and evaluations we publish alongside delivery.

Our free product audit is provided as a good-faith deliverable with no obligation to engage further. We will treat any materials you share with us as confidential under our standard NDA terms (see Privacy Policy) and we will not use them to train external models. You retain full ownership of anything you send us.

Unless your SOW says otherwise:

• Fixed-price SOWs invoice 50% upfront and 50% on launch.
• Time-and-materials engagements invoice every two weeks against tracked hours.
• Invoices are due net 14 from issue date.
• Late payments past 30 days accrue 1.5% interest per month and pause active work until cleared.

All amounts are in USD unless otherwise stated. Taxes and cross-border fees are your responsibility.

On full payment of an invoice, all custom code, designs, and deliverables produced specifically for your project become your property. You receive a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license (and assignment where assignment is possible) to use, modify, and distribute them.

We retain ownership of:

• Pre-existing tools, scaffolds, and internal libraries we bring to every project.
• The methodology, playbooks, and prompts we publish in our public hub.
• Anonymized case-study data, with names and identifying details redacted, unless your SOW prohibits disclosure.

Both parties agree to protect the other's non-public information with the same care they apply to their own. Confidential information includes business plans, source code, customer data, financials, and anything reasonably understood to be sensitive. Confidentiality survives termination of the engagement for three years.

We're happy to sign your NDA, or you can use our mutual NDA template at /nda-template.

We warrant that our work will be performed by qualified engineers in a professional and workmanlike manner, in line with prevailing industry standards. For 30 days after launch we will fix any defect in the delivered work at no charge, provided the defect is reproducible and is not caused by changes you or a third party made after handover.

Beyond the express warranties above, deliverables are provided “as is”. We disclaim all implied warranties to the extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement of third-party rights.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data. Our total aggregate liability under any engagement is capped at the fees paid to us under the relevant SOW in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Either party can terminate an engagement on 14 days' written notice. On termination you pay for work performed up to the termination date, including hours logged but not yet invoiced. We hand over all work-in-progress code, designs, and credentials within 5 business days, and we delete or return your confidential materials within 30 days.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith discussions for 30 days. If that fails, disputes are resolved by binding arbitration in London under the LCIA rules, with each side bearing its own costs unless the tribunal orders otherwise.

We may update these Terms when our services or legal obligations change. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “last updated” date. Material changes that affect an active SOW will be notified to you in writing and require your acceptance before they take effect for that engagement.
