Terms

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Sawhorse Software LLC, referred to below as Sawhorse, we or us. Sawhorse is a software engineering company serving clients in North America and Europe.

You can reach us at support@sawhorsesoftware.tech. That address is the correct route for every enquiry, including legal ones.

2. Using this website

You may read, link to and share the content on this website. You may not copy substantial portions of it to publish as your own, use it to train a model where that would breach our rights, or attempt to interfere with the site or the systems it runs on.

3. Information on this website

The content here describes what we do and how we work. It is general information rather than advice for your specific situation, and it does not form an offer capable of acceptance.

Case studies describe systems we have delivered. They are written to be accurate about what was built and how it works. Where a client is not named, that is a confidentiality obligation rather than an omission.

We do not publish prices. All work is custom and priced by quote after a discovery call, and a quote is the only statement of price you should rely on.

4. Engagements

No engagement begins until it is agreed in writing. That written agreement sets out the scope, the deliverables, the schedule, the fees and the payment terms, and it takes precedence over anything on this website.

Scope is fixed in writing before any build starts. A change after that point is a written decision with its effect on cost and schedule stated before it proceeds.

A mutual non disclosure agreement is signed before project details are shared. This applies in both directions and covers the discovery stage as well as the engagement itself.

5. Intellectual property

For work we deliver under an engagement, the client owns one hundred percent of the intellectual property in what was built for them, together with the full source code and all documentation. The assignment takes effect at delivery and is written into the engagement agreement.

Third party open source components included in a delivered system remain subject to their own licences. The handover documentation lists them and their licence terms.

The content of this website, including its text, design and code, remains the property of Sawhorse.

6. Third party services

Systems we build often integrate with services operated by other companies, such as payment processors, email providers and hosting platforms. Those services are governed by their own terms, which apply between you and them.

Sawhorse is not a payment processor. We integrate with processors using their hosted fields and processor managed checkout so that cardholder data does not pass through systems we build. We hold no PCI certification and we do not build card processing infrastructure.

7. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence and for fraud.

Subject to that, we are not liable for loss arising from your reliance on general information published on this website. Liability in connection with an engagement is governed by the limits set out in the written agreement for that engagement.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version published on this page is the one that applies, and the date it was last updated is shown at the top of the page. Changes do not alter the terms of an engagement already agreed in writing.
