Last updated March 2025. These Terms outline how Alyeska Dev works with founders, investors, and partners. Read them so you know how we build together.
Alyeska Dev builds rapid prototypes, MVPs, and product experiments. By accessing our website, scheduling a discovery call, or signing a Statement of Work (“SOW”), you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization.
We deliver design, software engineering, hardware prototyping, advisory, and related product services. The exact deliverables, timelines, and pricing are captured in your signed proposal, SOW, or order form. Any work outside that scope is billable as a change request.
While we move fast, we do not guarantee that a prototype will satisfy regulatory, security, or production-readiness requirements unless explicitly stated. You are responsible for running your own validation, legal, and compliance checks before launch.
To keep build timelines on track, you agree to: (a) provide access to required accounts, APIs, and hardware; (b) designate a decision maker who can review and approve deliverables rapidly; and (c) supply accurate information, assets, and feedback. Delays in feedback or access may automatically extend deadlines and increase cost.
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the prototypes complies with applicable laws, platform policies (e.g., Apple, Google, OpenAI), and contractual obligations to third parties.
Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due within 10 calendar days. Late invoices may incur a 1.5% monthly finance charge or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever is lower. We may pause or terminate work for invoices more than 15 days past due.
Strategy sprints, hardware purchases, and third-party services (e.g., cloud hosting, design software, fabrication) may require payment upfront. Hardware, tooling, or services sourced on your behalf are non-refundable once ordered.
All pre-existing IP, libraries, design systems, and internal tooling remain the property of Alyeska Dev. Upon full payment, we grant you a perpetual, worldwide license to use, modify, and commercialize the deliverables associated with the specific project.
If we contribute to open source or produce generalized learnings, we may reuse non-confidential components provided we remove or anonymize your proprietary data.
We keep your materials confidential and use them only to deliver the services. You agree to treat our proposals, pricing, and internal processes as confidential. Either party may disclose confidential information when required by law with reasonable prior notice to the other party.
Our work often depends on third-party APIs, fabrication partners, component availability, and network services. We are not liable for outages, rate limit changes, shipment delays, or policy shifts that impact the project. If a dependency materially changes, we will collaborate with you on alternatives and update scope and pricing as needed.
We provide services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Except as explicitly set out in an SOW, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Rapid prototypes may contain experimental code or hardware. You agree to run staging, QA, or field tests before exposing users to the prototype. We are not responsible for data loss, downtime, or business interruption resulting from experimental deployments.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Alyeska Dev and its team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or loss of data. Our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid to us for the specific project giving rise to the claim in the six months preceding the event.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alyeska Dev, its members, and contractors from any claims or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the deliverables, violation of applicable law, or breach of these Terms.
Either party may terminate an SOW for convenience with 14 days’ written notice. You remain responsible for fees incurred through the effective termination date, including committed hardware or third-party costs. We may terminate immediately if you breach these Terms or fail to pay invoices.
These Terms and any disputes are governed by the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of state and federal courts located in Anchorage, Alaska.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we post revisions, the “Last updated” date changes. Material updates are communicated via email or through your primary point of contact. Continued use of the services after the update constitutes acceptance.
Questions, legal notices, or service of process should be sent to Alyeska Dev LLC, Anchorage, Alaska, or emailed to legal@alyeska.dev.
