Terms of service

Last updated: April 15, 2025. ByteWorthy LLC, a Washington state limited liability company.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing byteworthy.io, purchasing a product, or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or our products.

2. Website use

This site is provided for informational and commercial purposes. You may not scrape the site at scale, attempt to disrupt its operation, or impersonate ByteWorthy or its representatives.

3. Boilerplate licenses

Open source (Sovra). Licensed under the MIT License. You may use, modify, and distribute it freely, including for commercial purposes, subject to the MIT terms.

Paid boilerplates (Klienta, Clynova). Each purchase grants a commercial license to use the source code for internal projects and client work. You may not redistribute the source code as a competing boilerplate product. You may not resell access to the source code itself. You may build and sell products on top of it.

Updates. Each tier includes a defined window of free updates (typically 12 months). After the update window expires, the code you have continues to work. You can purchase a new update window at any time.

Refunds. Boilerplate purchases are non-refundable once the source code has been delivered. If a purchase was made in error, contact scale@getbyteworthy.com within 48 hours.

4. Service engagements

Custom builds, automations, and deployment retainers are governed by individual Statements of Work (SOWs) or service agreements executed between ByteWorthy and the client. These terms apply to the extent not superseded by a signed SOW.

Ownership. Unless the SOW states otherwise, all source code produced during an engagement belongs to the client upon full payment. ByteWorthy retains the right to use general patterns, non-client-specific tooling, and open-source components in future work.

Payment. Invoices are due within 15 days of issuance unless the SOW specifies milestone payments. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month. Work pauses if invoices are more than 30 days overdue.

Termination. Either party may terminate a retainer with 30 days written notice. Fixed-fee projects may be terminated per the SOW terms. Completed work is invoiced at the agreed rate.

5. HIPAA and healthcare

For healthcare clients, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is executed separately. The BAA governs all handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) and takes precedence over this privacy policy for PHI-related matters.

6. Limitation of liability

ByteWorthy is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site, products, or services. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.

The site and products are provided "as is" without warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We work hard to ship quality code, but we do not guarantee the site or products will be error-free.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify ByteWorthy against claims arising from your use of our products or services in violation of these terms, applicable law, or third-party rights.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States. Disputes will be resolved in King County, Washington courts.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
