Legal / Terms

The terms.
No disguise.

Terms for NuvaKit software branding, deployment and related services, read together with your accepted order.

01 / Agreement & scope

These terms apply to NuvaKit software configuration, branding, deployment and related services when incorporated into an order accepted by both parties. NuvaKit is the business name used on this website. Each order must identify the actual legal person supplying the service and the customer before acceptance or payment; references to NuvaKit, we or us in that service agreement mean the supplier identified in the order.

A written order means a proposal, statement of work or other service agreement accepted by both parties. It identifies the applicable version of these terms. Anyone accepting for an organisation must have authority to do so. Visiting the website or sending an enquiry alone does not create a paid service agreement.

An expressly agreed order provision takes precedence over a conflicting general provision, subject to mandatory law, third-party software licences and any refund promise already made for the purchase. The Refund and Cancellation Policy applies alongside the order. The Privacy Policy explains information handling and is not blanket consent to process personal data.

Campus participation, recruitment and work performed by developers use separate engagement terms. These customer-service terms do not establish employment, a student fee or an entitlement to a placement.

02 / Scope, delivery & changes

NuvaKit adapts existing software to a customer's brand and deploys it on an agreed domain. A catalogue listing or demonstration does not define the full specification of a purchased service.

The order specifies the selected product and version, features, branding, integrations, deliverables, deployment environment, responsibilities for domain and hosting accounts, milestones and acceptance criteria. It identifies customer dependencies and any third-party subscriptions or usage charges.

Delivery estimates depend on the agreed scope, access, assets and approvals. A statement that products can launch in days is not a deadline for every project. Changes to scope, cost, dates or acceptance criteria require written agreement. Silence does not constitute acceptance of a deliverable under these terms.

Demo access is for evaluation using sample data only. Requesting access does not guarantee approval or create a paid order. Access tokens are limited to the product, duration and permitted use stated when issued. Do not enter production credentials, personal records or confidential customer datasets into a demonstration. A demo may reset its sample content; it is not a production storage service. These access conditions do not remove rights or obligations under an applicable open-source licence.

Hosting, maintenance, backups, updates, support hours and response or recovery targets are included only to the extent agreed in the order. No specific uptime or support SLA is created by this page.

03 / Ownership & software licences

The customer retains rights in its own names, logos, content, data and other supplied materials. It must have authority to supply them and permits NuvaKit to use them to perform the agreed work. Public use of the customer's brand, project or data as a case study requires separate permission.

Branding a product does not transfer ownership of its underlying software. Rights in pre-existing code remain with their respective owners. The order must distinguish NuvaKit's own work, third-party components and bespoke deliverables, and specify any assignment or licence for custom work. NuvaKit does not claim exclusive ownership of third-party or open-source software.

Open-source components remain subject to their applicable licences. Nothing in these terms restricts rights those licences grant to use, copy, modify, redistribute or obtain source code. Any source, attribution, copyright-notice and licence obligations continue to apply, including after a paid service ends. White-labelling does not authorise removal of required legal notices.

Some products may include AGPL-3.0 components. Where that licence's network-interaction requirements apply to a modified program, the required corresponding source must be made available to its remote users as the licence requires. A paid deployment or a customer's branding does not remove that obligation. Product-specific notices and a working source-access mechanism must be addressed for the actual deployment; this page alone does not fulfil them.

For customer deployments, the handover includes the source code for the delivered work and the updates supplied under the order, with the applicable upstream licences and required notices. Any separately licensed NuvaKit contribution must be identified in the order and must be capable of being licensed on those terms; combining components does not by itself establish separate proprietary rights. Required corresponding source and access mechanisms must match the delivered version. Source required for a version already supplied is not conditional on purchasing a later support renewal.

Rights to NuvaKit-owned proprietary elements, any resale permissions and access to a hosted service must be specified in the order. Third-party commercial services may require separate accounts and licences.

04 / Customer responsibilities

The customer is responsible for the authority to use its domain and materials, the lawfulness of its instructions and its authorised users' access. Keep credentials secure and report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

Do not use the service for fraud, unlawful content, infringement, malware or unauthorised access to others' systems or data. Do not interfere with service security or evade agreed usage limits. Security testing of systems operated by another party requires that party's authorisation.

These restrictions do not prohibit activity permitted by mandatory law or the relevant software licence, including lawful study, modification or redistribution of open-source software. Resale and downstream use must respect those licences and the agreed service scope.

05 / Customer data & confidentiality

Each party must limit access to the other's non-public project information to people who need it for the agreed work and protect it against unauthorised use or disclosure. This does not prevent disclosure required by law or use of information independently developed, lawfully obtained elsewhere or already public without a breach.

Before production personal data is provided, the order and a data-processing agreement must allocate responsibilities for lawful instructions, notices, consent where needed, security, service providers, incident handling, rights requests, international transfers and return or deletion. The customer retains responsibility for the purposes it determines; NuvaKit remains responsible for obligations applicable to its own processing.

06 / Fees, licence pricing & renewals

CDA pricing and licence duration

The CDA licence fee for new orders is USD 15,000, one-time and perpetual. Perpetual means the granted software-use rights have no fixed expiry, subject to the licence terms, including termination and a licence refund. The order identifies the covered software, version and deployment scope. The fee does not by itself include every future upgrade, ongoing hosting or support, or ownership of third-party software.

Optional CDA Developer Seats: small-scope plans start at USD 750 per month per deployment; mid-size plans, including data-warehouse environments, start at USD 1,500 per month per deployment; large deployments, including data-lake environments, use a custom monthly quote per deployment. Plans cover deployment, maintenance and SQL-based model and semantic-layer improvement within the accepted scope. These are service plans, not per-user licences or dedicated engineering seats.

The assessment fixes the monthly price, deployment boundaries, included deployment work, maintenance responsibilities, improvement method and cadence, and any limits or response commitments in the order. Database volume alone does not determine eligibility: source count, query and schema complexity, semantic domains, change frequency and operating requirements also matter. Tier descriptions do not establish a tested GB/TB capacity or performance guarantee. Additional work or increases require agreement before they are charged.

SQL-only improvement boundary: the improvement service uses customer-approved, redacted SQL and agreed definitions, not customer rows, result sets or raw data extracts. Queries must be reviewed for literals, comments, identifiers, credentials and other confidential or personal information before sharing. Customer-run exploratory data analysis and answer validation stay in the customer's environment; only approved metadata and non-sensitive findings are shared for assessment. This boundary concerns the improvement service: the deployed CDA product still queries customer data to answer authorised users.

The order documents whether improvement means query/semantic configuration, retrieval changes or actual model-weight training. It must identify any model provider, authorised processing and retention before use. If the agreed boundary cannot support a task, stop and agree a different method and any necessary data-processing terms before proceeding; there is no implied permission to access raw data.

These CDA figures replace the earlier published tier prices for new orders. They are in US dollars and exclude applicable taxes. Infrastructure and third-party running costs are identified separately before purchase. Other products are priced by quotation. Existing accepted orders retain their agreed prices and rights.

30-day full licence-fee guarantee: if the product is not satisfactory, the Refund and Cancellation Policy provides a full refund of the licence fee paid, including the full CDA fee if paid in full. It applies automatically to new product licence purchases, with the window measured from the later of first licence payment or notified product access. Separately itemised services are handled as described in that policy. An order does not remove this published guarantee.

Prices, currency, taxes, invoicing, deposits, payment milestones and due dates must be agreed in the order. These terms do not establish a subscription, automatic renewal, late fee or minimum commitment by default. Recurring services need an agreed billing cycle, renewal mechanism and cancellation process disclosed before purchase.

Third-party costs and additional work must be identified and authorised before they are incurred for the customer. Raise a disputed invoice with the contact below, identifying the amount and reason. Refunds and cancellation follow the agreed order, the Refund and Cancellation Policy and applicable law.

07 / Suspension, termination & exit

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address a credible security threat or unlawful use. A restriction will be proportionate, with notice and an explanation where lawful and practicable, and access restored when the reason is resolved.

Termination for breach, any opportunity to remedy it, non-payment procedures and termination for convenience are governed by the accepted order and applicable law. Cancellation requests are handled under the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Termination does not automatically entitle either party to retain every payment or recover every future fee.

On cancellation or termination, the parties must settle amounts properly due and applicable refunds and follow agreed arrangements for handover, data export, domain and account access, transition assistance and deletion. Ending hosted access does not revoke rights already granted under an open-source licence. Duties intended to continue, such as confidentiality and applicable licence obligations, survive to the extent relevant.

08 / Service commitments & liability

We are responsible for performing the service in accordance with the accepted order and applicable law. The order records agreed functionality, acceptance testing and remedies for failures. Software may contain errors and depend on third-party services; this does not excuse a failure to meet an express contractual promise or a mandatory legal obligation.

Liability and remedies are governed by applicable law and any express, lawful allocation in the accepted order. These terms impose no additional monetary liability cap, blanket exclusion of loss or indemnity. Nothing limits a right, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including applicable consumer protections.

09 / Disputes & changes

Send a service complaint to archit@kateindustries.com, with the order reference, issue and remedy sought. We will assess it promptly and respond within applicable legal deadlines. Direct discussion does not prevent either party from using a court, consumer forum, regulator or other remedy available under applicable law.

Disputes are subject to applicable law and any lawful dispute provision expressly agreed in the order. These website terms do not require arbitration or restrict you to an exclusive court.

This version takes effect on 22 September 2026 for orders that incorporate it. Changes published on the website do not retrospectively change an accepted order or remove rights already acquired. Contract changes require the process agreed by the parties. Updated website terms will show their effective date.
