The ground rules for working with us: scope, payment, ownership, and what happens if things change.
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Sirius Labs website and any services you engage us to provide. By browsing this site or commissioning work from us, you agree to be bound by them.
If you are accepting these terms on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to do so.
2. Services and scope
The specific services we provide, the deliverables, the timeline, and the fees are set out in a separate written proposal or statement of work agreed between us. Where that document conflicts with these terms, that document takes precedence.
Work outside the agreed scope is quoted and approved separately before it begins. We will not proceed with additional work without your written agreement.
3. Fees and payment
Unless otherwise agreed, projects are invoiced against milestones, with an initial payment due before work starts. Retainer engagements are invoiced monthly in advance.
Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue. We may pause work on overdue accounts after giving you reasonable notice.
4. Your responsibilities
Timely delivery depends on timely input. You agree to provide the content, access, approvals, and feedback we reasonably request within the agreed timeframes.
You confirm that any material you supply to us (text, images, data, trademarks) is either owned by you or properly licensed for the use intended.
5. Intellectual property
On full payment of all amounts due, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you.
We retain ownership of our pre-existing tools, libraries, and generic components, and grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use them as part of the deliverables.
Unless you ask us not to, we may display non-confidential elements of the work in our portfolio and marketing materials.
6. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep the other's confidential information private and to use it only for the purpose of the engagement. This obligation continues after the engagement ends.
7. Warranties and liability
We provide our services with reasonable skill and care. We correct defects reported within 30 days of delivery at no charge, where those defects are attributable to our work.
Except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit or data.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with 30 days' written notice. On termination you remain liable for work completed and costs committed up to the termination date.
We may terminate immediately if payment remains outstanding after notice, or in the event of a material breach that is not remedied within 14 days.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the date of your statement of work applies to that engagement.
10. Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent to hello@siriuslabs.com and we will respond within two working days.
