Build Something is a technology studio based in North Carolina. This page is general information, not legal advice.
By accessing buildsomethingco.com, submitting a project intake, or engaging Build Something for services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the site or our services.
If you accept these terms on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.
Build Something designs and engineers software: websites, web and mobile applications, custom platforms, AI agents, automations, internal tools, customer portals and integrations.
The specific scope, deliverables, fees and schedule for any engagement are defined in a separate written proposal, statement of work or order form. Where that document conflicts with these terms, that document controls for that engagement.
You agree to provide accurate information, timely feedback, approvals and access to the accounts, data and third-party systems required to complete the work.
You are responsible for the legality of any content, data or materials you supply, and for holding the rights necessary for us to use them in the project.
Delays caused by missing information, access or approvals may shift the schedule and, where they materially increase effort, the fees.
Fees, payment milestones and any recurring amounts are set out in the applicable proposal. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are due within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date.
Late amounts may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by North Carolina law, whichever is lower. We may pause work on accounts with overdue balances.
Fees exclude third-party costs such as hosting, domains, model or API usage, licenses and app store fees unless the proposal says otherwise. Amounts paid are non-refundable except where the proposal expressly provides for a refund.
Upon receipt of all amounts due for an engagement, you own the custom deliverables created specifically for you under that engagement.
Build Something retains ownership of its pre-existing and generally reusable materials (frameworks, libraries, tooling, patterns and know-how) and grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use them as embedded in your deliverables.
Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licenses. Unless you object in writing, we may reference the engagement and display non-confidential visuals in our portfolio.
Each party will protect the other's non-public business, technical and customer information with at least reasonable care and use it only to perform or receive the services.
This does not apply to information that is public, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
Our work commonly relies on third-party platforms, hosting providers, APIs and AI models. Those services are governed by their own terms and are outside our control, and their availability, pricing or behavior may change.
AI systems produce probabilistic output that can be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated output before relying on it for decisions, and for any regulated, legal, financial or medical use of your systems.
The site and services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Build Something disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will achieve any specific business result.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Build Something is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to an engagement will not exceed the fees you paid to us for that engagement in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify and hold Build Something harmless from third-party claims arising out of your content, data or materials, your use of the deliverables, or your breach of these terms or applicable law.
Either party may terminate an engagement for material breach that remains uncured ten (10) days after written notice. You may also terminate for convenience where the proposal allows it.
On termination you pay for all work performed and non-cancellable costs incurred through the termination date. Sections on ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability and governing law survive.
We may update these terms. The effective date below reflects the current version, and continued use of the site or services after an update constitutes acceptance.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.
