Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 2026

Welcome to Stack.ws. By accessing our website or utilizing our services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Service. Please review them carefully.

1. Services Provided

Stack.ws ("we," "our," or "us") provides custom software development, mobile application development, web development, and digital consulting services. The specific scope, timeline, and deliverables for any project will be outlined in a separate Statement of Work (SOW) or project agreement.

2. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure (NDA)

We take your intellectual property and business ideas extremely seriously. We understand that many of our clients are building proprietary, market-disrupting technology. We are fully open and accustomed to signing formal Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to discussing the specific details of your project. Even in the absence of a formal NDA, we treat all client inquiries, concepts, architectures, and business data with the strictest confidentiality and will never share or repurpose your ideas.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

Upon receipt of full payment for a project, all custom code, graphical assets, and deliverables created specifically for your project become your exclusive intellectual property. Stack.ws retains the rights to any pre-existing codebases, open-source libraries, or proprietary structural tools used during development, granting you an irrevocable license to use them as integrated into your final product.

4. Risk-Free Prototype Offer

For qualifying projects, we offer to build a portion of the initial prototype without a required deposit. This offer is provided at our sole discretion to demonstrate our execution capabilities. If you choose not to proceed after the prototype phase, you owe nothing. However, Stack.ws retains all rights, ownership, and code associated with the unpurchased prototype.

5. Payment Terms

Project costs, payment schedules, and milestones will be defined in your specific project agreement. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are due upon receipt. We reserve the right to pause development or withhold final deployment if payments are significantly delayed beyond agreed terms.

6. Limitation of Liability

While we engineer our software to the highest commercial standards, Stack.ws shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, resulting from your use of the software we develop or our website.

7. Warranties and Revisions

We stand by our work. Following the launch of a custom project, we typically provide a defined warranty period (as outlined in your SOW) to address any bugs or issues that deviate from the agreed-upon project scope at no additional cost. Feature additions or changes outside of the original scope will be scoped and billed as new development.

8. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions about these Terms, or if you would like to initiate an NDA before discussing your project, please contact us at hello@stack.ws.
