Terms

These terms

They cover two things: your use of this website, and the basis on which SSHAI takes on work. A signed proposal or statement of work always wins where it says something different from this page.

Using this site

You are welcome to read, share and link to anything here. You may not scrape it at a volume that degrades it for anyone else, attempt to break into it, or pass our work off as your own.

What we claim

Nothing on this site asserts a client name, logo, testimonial or performance metric we cannot evidence. Descriptions of our approach are statements of method, not guarantees of a particular commercial outcome.

The trial period

The introductory period described on this site is exactly what it says: an audit, a written roadmap and a working pilot on your product, at no fee and with no obligation to continue. It does not create an ongoing retainer. Either side can simply stop at the end of it, and you keep the roadmap and any pilot work already delivered to you.

Engagements

• Scope. Work begins from a fixed written scope. Anything outside it is quoted separately before we start.
• Your responsibilities. Timely access to the systems we need, a named point of contact, and feedback when agreed. Delays in access move the schedule with them.
• Your environments. You confirm you are entitled to grant us access to the repositories, CI and environments you give us, and that our agreed use of them will not breach anyone else’s rights.

Payment

Beyond the introductory period, invoices are raised as agreed in the statement of work and are due on the date stated on the invoice. Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes. We may pause work on materially overdue invoices, and we will tell you before we do.

Ownership

The test framework, suites, CI configuration and documentation we build for you are yours. On final payment, all intellectual property in the delivered work transfers to you, along with the source and any handover material — there is no retainer required to run what we built. We keep ownership of our general know-how and of any pre-existing tools or components we bring; you get a perpetual licence to use those as part of the delivered work.

Confidentiality

Anything you share that is not public — code, test data, roadmaps, defects — we keep to ourselves and use only to do the work. We will sign an NDA on request.

Warranty and limits

We build carefully and verify our tests against deliberately broken builds before handing them over. We will fix defects in our work reported within 30 days of delivery at no charge.

Beyond that, testing reduces risk; it does not eliminate it. No test suite can prove the absence of every defect, and we do not warrant that your product will be free of bugs, that a suite will catch every regression, or that third-party services, browsers or CI providers will behave. Responsibility for what you release remains yours.

Liability

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that, neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost revenue or lost data, and our total liability for any engagement is capped at the fees you paid us for it. Where no fees have been paid — during the introductory period — that cap is nil.

Ending an engagement

Either side may end an engagement in writing. You pay for work completed and costs committed up to that point; we hand over what has been paid for and revoke our own access to your systems. Terms meant to outlast the work — ownership, confidentiality, liability — survive.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. We would always rather talk first: write to inquire@genwstudio.com.

Changes

We may update these terms; the effective date above will change when we do. The version in force for an engagement is the one published when it was agreed.
