Terms of Service
Last Updated: 29 July 2026 / Strict Mode Ltd
1. Commercial Engagement
These terms govern the relationship between Strict Mode Ltd and its business clients. All engagements are formalised via a custom Statement of Work (SOW). We operate exclusively B2B.
2. Intellectual Property (IP)
On receipt of full payment under a SOW, the client owns the bespoke deliverables produced for them under that SOW. Strict Mode Ltd retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property - internal tooling, frameworks, libraries, and architectural patterns developed outside the engagement - and of any improvements to them; where such components are embedded in a deliverable, the client receives a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them as part of that deliverable. Specific allocations may be varied in the SOW.
3. Warranties & Liability
We engineer systems to the highest technical standard. However, software infrastructure carries inherent risk. Strict Mode Ltd's total liability under any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client under the specific SOW from which the claim arises. We disclaim liability for indirect, consequential, or data-loss damages.
4. Governing Law
These terms and all commercial engagements are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
