1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our Services, you confirm that you can form a binding contract with dinobyt and that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

We provide software design and development services, including AI‑assisted prototyping, integrations, data pipelines, and related consulting (the "Services"). Specific deliverables, timelines, and acceptance criteria may be documented in an order form, SOW, or written agreement (collectively, an "Order"). In case of conflict, an executed Order controls over these Terms.
4. Accounts & Security

- Provide accurate information and keep it current.
- Notify us promptly of any unauthorized access or security incident.
5. Fees, Billing & Taxes

- Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for applicable taxes and duties.
- Deposits, retainers, or prepayments may be required for project scheduling.
6. Intellectual Property

7. Customer Content
You grant us a limited license to use your data, materials, and marks solely to provide the Services and as permitted in the Order. You represent that you have obtained all necessary rights and consents to provide such content and that your use complies with law.
8. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential information from the other. The receiving party will protect such information using at least reasonable care, use it only to perform under these Terms or an Order, and not disclose it to third parties except to personnel and subprocessors with a need to know and under confidentiality obligations. These obligations survive for five (5) years after disclosure, or longer if required by law for trade secrets.
9. AI/ML‑Specific Terms
- We may use third‑party AI models, APIs, or services ("AI Providers"). Their terms and usage caps apply. You authorize us to configure such services on your behalf per the Order.

- Unless expressly agreed, you will not use AI outputs for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without appropriate safeguards.
- For datasets you supply, you represent that collection and use complies with applicable privacy and IP laws.
10. Acceptable Use

- No attempting to bypass security, rate limits, or service restrictions.
- No production deployment of beta features without adequate testing and safeguards.
11. Third‑Party Services
Integrations and third‑party services (e.g., cloud providers, databases, AI Providers) are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third‑party services or for downtime or changes outside our control.

14. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including access controls, network protections, and vulnerability management. You are responsible for your own account security and for securing your infrastructure and credentials.
15. Disclaimers
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN AN ORDER, THE SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR‑FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DINOByT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

- Sections intended to survive (including Fees, IP, Confidentiality, Disclaimers, Liability, and Indemnity) will survive termination.
19. Governing Law; Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction specified in the Order. If no jurisdiction is specified, insert your preferred governing law and venue (e.g., the State of Delaware, USA, with exclusive jurisdiction in the courts located in Wilmington, Delaware). The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
20. Miscellaneous
- Entire Agreement: These Terms plus any Order constitute the entire agreement and supersede prior understandings.
- Changes: We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new "Last updated" date.
- Assignment: You may not assign without our consent; we may assign in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
