Terms & Conditions

The studio and the Site

Nolly Studio provides AI-native product design and engineering services — including architecture reviews, fixed-scope build sprints, and related consulting — as described on the Site and in Proposals.

The Site is informational and promotional. Content on the Site (case studies, pricing bands, availability, timelines) is illustrative unless confirmed in a Proposal. We may update Site content at any time.

Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract (usually 18+) and use the Site and services for lawful business purposes. If you engage us on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company, and “you” includes that company.

Scope calls and proposals

Scope calls are free and exploratory. They do not create an obligation to buy or sell services. Any paid work requires a Proposal that states scope, deliverables, price, timeline, and payment terms. If a Proposal conflicts with these Terms, the Proposal controls for that engagement.

We may decline work that falls outside our focus (for example open-ended research, staff augmentation, or non-AI brochure sites) or that we cannot deliver well.

Services and client responsibilities

We perform services in a professional manner consistent with the Proposal. Timelines assume timely access to stakeholders, systems, content, brand assets, environments, and decisions. Delays on your side may shift delivery dates and, if material, may require a change order.

You are responsible for the legality of materials you provide, for securing rights to third-party systems we integrate at your request, and for decisions you make based on our recommendations.

Fees and payment

Fees are as stated in the Proposal — typically fixed price for a defined scope. Unless the Proposal says otherwise, invoices are due as specified there (for example deposit before start, balance on delivery milestones). Late amounts may pause work and accrue reasonable collection costs if unpaid after notice.

Prices on the Site (“from $X”) are starting bands, not quotes. Taxes, pass-through third-party costs (for example paid APIs, cloud usage beyond an agreed allowance), or license fees may be billed separately if disclosed in the Proposal.

Changes and out-of-scope work

Fixed-scope engagements stay within the written deliverables. New features, additional platforms, or material direction changes require a written change order (email is enough) with adjusted price and/or timeline before we commit to them.

Intellectual property

Site content. The Site — including text, design, logos, and graphics — is owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy or reuse it for competing commercial sites without permission. You may share links and brief quotations with attribution.

Pre-existing materials. Each party keeps ownership of materials it owned before the engagement, including our libraries, patterns, templates, internal tools, and open-source projects (for example Cult UI patterns or AI SDK Agents examples).

Work product. Upon full payment of fees due for the engagement, you receive a worldwide, perpetual license — or assignment if the Proposal expressly says so — to use the deliverables created specifically for you under that Proposal for your business purposes. We may retain a copy for portfolio, backups, and reuse of non-confidential general know-how, patterns, and improvements that are not your confidential information or uniquely identifying brand assets, unless a Proposal says otherwise (for example under NDA or work-for-hire).

Open source and third-party components. Deliverables may include open-source or third-party components under their own licenses. Those licenses continue to apply; we will not knowingly deliver components that prevent your production use under the Proposal’s stack assumptions.

Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other’s non-public business, technical, and customer information disclosed for the engagement, and use it only to perform under the Proposal. Confidentiality obligations do not cover information that is public, independently developed, or rightfully received from elsewhere. We may list your company name and a high-level project description in our portfolio unless you request otherwise in writing or the Proposal forbids it. Detailed confidential metrics or unreleased product details stay confidential.

Public work and portfolio

Much of our credibility comes from shipping in public. Open-source and public product work linked from the Site is governed by its own licenses. Client work is treated as confidential as described above. If you want a named case study, we will agree on wording before publication.

Acceptable use of the Site

You agree not to misuse the Site: no scraping that degrades service, no attempts to break security, no malware, no spam, and no unlawful content in forms or messages you send us.

Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT REGARDING THE SITE AND GENERAL MARKETING CONTENT.

For paid services, warranties (if any) are only those expressly written in the Proposal. AI systems are probabilistic: we do not guarantee specific model outputs, rankings, uptime of third-party model providers, or business results unless a Proposal explicitly commits to a measurable acceptance criterion.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM THE SITE OR SERVICES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF AN ENGAGEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID US FOR THAT ENGAGEMENT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW (FOR EXAMPLE DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE WHERE SUCH LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED).

Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your materials, your products or services, your misuse of deliverables, or your breach of these Terms or a Proposal, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.

Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement as allowed in the Proposal (for example for material breach uncured after notice). Sections that by nature should survive — IP ownership already granted, confidentiality, payment for work performed, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law — survive termination.

We may suspend or stop offering the Site or particular CTAs at any time.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Courts in North Carolina have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any venue for IP or confidentiality breaches. Before filing a claim, both parties will attempt good-faith resolution by email for at least 15 days.

Privacy

Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.nolly.studio/privacy-policy.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page and revising the “Last updated” date. Changes apply to Site use from that date forward. For an active Proposal, the version referenced in that Proposal (or attached at signing) continues to apply unless both parties agree otherwise.

Miscellaneous

These Terms plus the applicable Proposal are the entire agreement for that subject and supersede prior discussions. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign a Proposal without our consent; we may assign to a successor of the studio. Notices to us: email dev@nolly.studio.
