Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using any website, application, design asset, prototype file, engineering deliverable, or communication channel operated by Pyronyx Dynamics (the "Studio"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to every provision set forth below, you must discontinue use of the Studio's services and digital properties immediately. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Pyronyx Dynamics, governing all interactions, transactions, and exchanges of information.

The Studio reserves the right to modify, amend, or replace these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Studio's services following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically to remain informed of any changes.

2. Nature of Services

Pyronyx Dynamics provides robotics design, mechanical and kinematic engineering, industrial design, rapid prototyping, functional testing, and robotic systems consulting services. All work produced by the Studio — including but not limited to 3D design files, technical drawings, physical prototypes, written reports, and consultation advice — is intended strictly for civilian and commercial applications. Under no circumstances may any deliverable be used, adapted, or repurposed for military, weapons, surveillance, or any application that violates international humanitarian law.

The Studio makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the suitability of any design for a particular purpose beyond the written specifications agreed upon in a formal Statement of Work. All projects are governed by a separate Master Services Agreement or Project Contract, which takes precedence over these general Terms in the event of any conflict.

3. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property created by Pyronyx Dynamics during the course of a project — including design concepts, engineering files, technical documentation, prototypes, and trade secrets — shall be governed by the terms of the individual Project Contract. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in writing, the following default principles apply:

• Pre-existing intellectual property owned by either party remains the sole property of that party.
• Upon full payment for a completed project, the client receives an irrevocable, perpetual license to use the deliverables for the agreed-upon application.
• The Studio retains the right to display completed work in its portfolio, case studies, and promotional materials, unless a non-disclosure agreement explicitly prohibits such display.
• Any methodologies, algorithms, or general-purpose engineering techniques developed by the Studio remain its exclusive intellectual property.

4. Client Obligations

Clients engaging Pyronyx Dynamics agree to provide accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for the execution of the project. This includes specifications, access to relevant facilities or systems, and prompt feedback during review cycles. Delays caused by the client's failure to meet these obligations may result in adjusted timelines and additional costs.

Clients are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of any deliverables complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. Pyronyx Dynamics does not provide legal or regulatory compliance advice unless explicitly contracted to do so.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pyronyx Dynamics shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or related to the use of its services or deliverables. The Studio's total liability for any claim arising out of a project shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for that specific project.

Pyronyx Dynamics does not assume liability for damages resulting from misuse, modification, or unauthorized alteration of its deliverables, or from their use in applications for which they were not designed or approved.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information disclosed during the course of a project. Confidential information includes but is not limited to technical specifications, business strategies, customer data, and any materials explicitly marked as confidential. This obligation survives the termination of any agreement for a period of five years, or indefinitely for trade secrets.

7. Payment Terms

Payment terms, including deposit requirements, milestone schedules, and final delivery conditions, are specified in each Project Contract. All invoices are payable within thirty calendar days of issuance unless otherwise agreed. Late payments accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. The Studio reserves the right to suspend work or withhold deliverables if payment is overdue.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate a project upon written notice if the other party materially breaches its obligations and fails to cure such breach within thirty calendar days. Upon termination, the client shall pay for all work completed through the date of termination, and the Studio shall deliver all completed work product to the client.

9. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or any Project Contract shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall bear its own costs, and the arbitrator's fees shall be shared equally.

10. Governing Law

These Terms and all Project Contracts shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
