CodeStellar Website and Business Services Terms

Effective date: 3 October 2026.

These Terms concern Code Stellar LLC, doing business as CodeStellar, a Wyoming limited liability company ("CodeStellar," "we," "us," or "our"). For company, project and legal inquiries, contact info@codestellar.co.

1. Scope, acceptance and other agreements

Website use. Sections 1–7 and 15–18 govern use of our corporate website to the extent you validly agree to them under applicable law. We may require affirmative acceptance for particular activities. Merely displaying these Terms does not substitute for acceptance where the law requires it.

Business services. Sections 8–14 apply to a business engagement only when an accepted proposal, order, statement of work or services agreement expressly incorporates these Terms. Browsing the website or sending an inquiry does not create a paid engagement, authorize charges, or transfer intellectual property. We will not begin a chargeable engagement solely because you submit a form.

A separately accepted services agreement or statement of work controls any conflict for that engagement. An applicable data processing agreement controls processing on a client's behalf, and a signed confidentiality agreement controls conflicting confidentiality terms. Our mobile apps have separate product terms and privacy policies, and SaaS products may also have their own end-user or subscription terms. These company-website Terms do not replace those documents or change an existing app purchase or subscription.

If accepting for a business, you represent that you are authorized to bind it. Paid business engagements require an adult with legal capacity or another duly authorized representative. Mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected.

2. Permitted use of the website

You may access the website and use its publicly available materials for lawful evaluation of CodeStellar and its services. Do not use it to infringe rights, impersonate others, transmit unlawful material, send spam, introduce malware, bypass access restrictions, obtain unauthorized data or interfere with availability. Security research requires our prior written authorization for activities beyond ordinary permitted access.

Except as permitted by law or our written permission, do not reproduce the site commercially, resell access, systematically extract its content, or use its materials to train a commercial AI model. This restriction does not prevent ordinary search-engine indexing or uses that cannot legally be restricted.

3. Website materials and intellectual property

The website's original text, branding, designs, code and other materials belong to CodeStellar or their respective licensors. Except for the limited use permitted above, no ownership or trademark rights are granted. Third-party photographs, fonts, open-source software and other licensed materials remain subject to their applicable licenses; these Terms do not override rights those licenses grant you.

Concept designs and interactive studies illustrate design thinking. They do not establish that a product has launched, that a named client relationship exists, or that particular commercial results have been achieved. Website descriptions are general information, not a binding quotation, delivery commitment or specification.

4. Inquiries, submissions and confidentiality

Provide accurate information and only materials you are entitled to share. You retain ownership of your submissions. You give us permission to use and reproduce them only as reasonably necessary to review and respond to your request, prepare a proposal, perform an agreed engagement, and satisfy applicable legal obligations, subject to the relevant confidentiality and privacy requirements.

A general inquiry does not itself create a nondisclosure agreement or an obligation to undertake a project. Please request an appropriate confidentiality agreement and secure channel before sharing trade secrets, production credentials, regulated data or particularly sensitive business information. This does not waive existing confidentiality obligations or grant us a right to publish or sell your private submission.

5. Third-party links and services

The website may link to independently operated services. Their terms and privacy practices apply when you use them. We do not control their content or availability. A link is not a guarantee or endorsement. Third-party platform requirements relevant to a commissioned project are addressed below and in the applicable agreement.

6. Website availability and disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the website and general informational materials are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of uninterrupted availability, accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We may maintain, change or withdraw website features. We do not promise that every error will be corrected or that all access will be free from interruptions.

This website disclaimer does not cancel an express warranty in a separately accepted project agreement or a warranty that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

7. Liability for website use

To the extent permitted by law, CodeStellar and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, business opportunities or data, arising solely from use of the free company website, where legally excludable. Our aggregate liability for such website-use claims will not exceed USD 100.

This cap does not govern paid services under an accepted project agreement, an app purchase, or a separate subscription. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Statutory privacy and consumer remedies are not waived.

8. Business engagements: scope and changes

Sections 8–14 apply only through express incorporation into an accepted business agreement. The agreed scope must identify the deliverables, fees, payment schedule, dependencies, responsibilities and any acceptance or support period. Items not included in that scope—such as extra revisions, new integrations, additional platforms, ongoing maintenance, hosting or paid acquisition—require agreement before they become our obligation.

Changes affecting scope, cost or timing must be documented and approved by authorized representatives. Estimates depend on timely access, decisions, assets and approvals from the client. We may reasonably adjust milestones for approved changes, client delays or events outside our reasonable control, with notice. A target launch date is not an unconditional guarantee unless the agreement expressly makes it one.

9. Fees, external costs and suspension

The accepted agreement determines fees, currency, applicable taxes, invoice dates, deposits and payment deadlines. Third-party charges—including advertising spend, app-store fees, hosting, domains, software licenses and usage-based AI/API costs—are separate unless explicitly included. We will not commit a client's funds to additional external spending without the agreed authorization.

The client must promptly raise a specific, good-faith invoice dispute and pay undisputed amounts when due. After written notice and a reasonable opportunity to resolve an overdue undisputed amount or a material breach, we may suspend affected work and reasonably revise schedules. Immediate suspension is permitted where necessary to address an urgent security risk, unlawful instruction or legal requirement. We will limit suspension to what is reasonably necessary.

On cancellation or termination, amounts earned for work performed and authorized, non-cancellable third-party commitments remain payable. Any unearned prepaid balance is reconciled and refunded after lawful deductions. A blanket "no refunds" rule does not override an express agreement or mandatory rights.

10. Client responsibilities and acceptance

The client must provide timely, accurate requirements and approvals; lawful access to systems; and necessary rights to supplied content, branding, datasets and advertising claims. The client is responsible for its business decisions and for disclosures, permissions and consents concerning its users and advertising audiences. We remain responsible for obligations that law or the agreement places on us.

Acceptance criteria, review periods and defect-reporting procedures must be stated in the agreement. Silence alone does not create deemed acceptance unless a validly accepted agreement expressly provides for it. Fixing a failure to meet agreed specifications is distinct from a request for additional features. Maintenance, monitoring, security updates, backups, service levels and post-launch support are included only to the extent agreed in writing.

11. Ownership, licenses and confidentiality in projects

The client retains its pre-existing materials. CodeStellar retains its pre-existing tools, methods, templates, libraries and reusable know-how, together with general improvements that do not disclose the client's confidential information. Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licenses.

Ownership of custom deliverables, source-code handover and any license must be specified in the accepted agreement. Unless that agreement expressly grants ownership or a license, these Terms alone make no assignment. Where it provides for an ownership transfer, that transfer takes effect only after payment of the fees attributable to those deliverables, unless otherwise agreed or required by law. Where our retained components are embedded in a paid deliverable, we grant the client a non-exclusive license to use them as needed to use that deliverable, subject to the agreed scope and applicable third-party licenses.

Each party must protect the other's non-public information disclosed for the engagement using reasonable care, use it only for that engagement or another authorized purpose, and limit disclosure to people who need it and are bound by appropriate duties. Exceptions cover information lawfully public, already known without restriction, independently developed, or lawfully received from another source. Legally compelled disclosure is permitted, with notice where lawful and reasonable efforts to limit it. Confidentiality duties continue while information remains confidential; trade secrets remain protected for as long as applicable law provides.

We will not identify the client, publish its confidential work or use its logo in a portfolio without permission or an express contractual right. Return, deletion, legally required retention and backup handling are governed by the agreement and applicable law.

12. AI, advertising and platform dependencies

AI-assisted features may produce inaccurate, incomplete, non-unique or otherwise unsuitable output. Outputs require review appropriate to their intended use. Unless expressly agreed, we do not warrant that AI output is exclusive, copyrightable, free from third-party claims or suitable for regulated decision-making. We will not treat these Terms as blanket permission to submit restricted client data to an AI provider; applicable permissions and data-protection arrangements must be established first.

For marketing and growth services, we do not guarantee downloads, revenue, return on advertising spend, acquisition cost, rankings, platform approval or any other commercial result unless the signed agreement expressly states a specific commitment. Advertising performance depends on the product, market, budget, audience, creative, measurement and external platforms. The client must approve material claims and budgets and hold required rights and permissions; our own legal and contractual responsibilities still apply.

App stores, advertising networks, hosting providers and other platforms can change prices, policies, APIs, review decisions or availability. We cannot guarantee their approvals or decisions. Necessary rework or migration beyond the agreed scope requires a change agreement. This does not excuse our failure to perform responsibilities that the agreement assigns to us.

13. Liability and third-party claims for incorporated business engagements

Subject to section 7's exclusions for non-limitable liability and any different provision in the accepted agreement, CodeStellar's aggregate liability arising from an incorporated business engagement is limited to the greater of USD 100 or the fees paid or payable to CodeStellar for the affected services during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Third-party advertising spend and other pass-through costs are not our service fees.

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, consequential, special or punitive losses, including lost profits or business opportunities. These limitations do not reduce the client's obligation to pay agreed fees or either party's non-waivable legal duties. They apply only to the extent a valid agreement and applicable law allow.

The business client will indemnify CodeStellar against third-party claims and reasonable defense costs to the extent caused by client-supplied materials infringing rights, unlawful client instructions or the client's material breach of its obligations concerning supplied data and permissions. This does not cover a claim to the extent caused by CodeStellar's own breach, negligence or misconduct. CodeStellar must give prompt notice, reasonably cooperate at the client's expense, and allow the client to control the defense with suitable counsel. No settlement may admit fault by, or impose non-monetary obligations on, CodeStellar without its reasonable consent. Any broader or reciprocal indemnity must be separately agreed.

14. Ending a business engagement

The agreement determines cancellation rights and notice periods. Either party may terminate for a material breach that remains uncured after written notice and a reasonable cure period, or immediately where continuing would be unlawful. Termination does not remove accrued payment rights, required refunds, existing confidentiality duties, applicable licenses, liability limitations or dispute-resolution provisions.

We will cooperate in the agreed handover of completed, paid-for deliverables. Additional transition work requires an agreed scope and fee. We will not use these Terms to withhold personal information where applicable law requires return or deletion, or to claim ownership of materials the client already owned.

15. Governing law and disputes

To the extent permitted by applicable law and a valid acceptance of these Terms, Wyoming law and applicable United States federal law govern, without applying conflict-of-laws rules that would select another law. For an incorporated business engagement, and unless its agreement provides otherwise, disputes are subject to courts of competent jurisdiction in Wyoming, with the parties consenting to personal jurisdiction there.

For consumers, this provision does not remove mandatory protections of the law of their residence or a right to bring a claim in a court provided by applicable law. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration, a class-action waiver or a shortened statutory claim period. Before starting an ordinary commercial claim, the parties should attempt a good-faith resolution through info@codestellar.co; this does not prevent urgent relief, regulator complaints or timely assertion of legal rights.

16. Privacy and communications

Our Privacy Policy describes processing of information covered by that policy. Acceptance of these Terms is not consent to optional marketing or tracking. We may communicate electronically about inquiries and agreed work. Electronic acceptance may form a contract where applicable law recognizes it; required notices and consent procedures still apply.

17. Changes and general provisions

We may revise these Terms prospectively, publish their effective date and provide additional notice or obtain fresh acceptance where required. A website update does not unilaterally amend a signed project agreement or retrospectively alter accrued rights. The version incorporated into an engagement remains applicable unless changed through that engagement's amendment process.

If a provision is unenforceable, it is limited or severed to the extent permitted by law without rewriting essential terms or removing mandatory protections. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Neither party may represent that an independent contractor engagement creates a partnership, agency or employment relationship. Neither party is responsible for a failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, provided it gives appropriate notice and takes reasonable mitigation steps; this does not excuse payment already due or obligations that law does not permit it to avoid.

Rights or obligations under an incorporated business engagement may be assigned only as its agreement permits or with the other party's written consent, not unreasonably withheld for a bona fide business succession that does not materially reduce protections. Any transfer of personal information remains subject to applicable law and privacy obligations.
