These terms govern your use of kensink.com and your engagement with Kensink Labs(“we,” “us,” or “the studio”). By using the website or signing a Statement of Work with us, you agree to these terms.
1 · Who we are
Kensink Labs is a software studio. We design, build, and ship production AI systems for SaaS companies. We are not a product company. We do not host services for clients past handoff.
Our legal entity is registered in New York, USA. Our primary place of business is Holtsville, NY 11742.
2 · Engagements
Every engagement is captured in a written Statement of Work (SOW) signed by both parties. Each SOW specifies:
- The deliverable (what we will ship)
- The timeline (typically 8 or 12 weeks, fixed)
- The scope (what is and is not included)
- The fee (fixed, not hourly, paid on milestones)
- The handoff date (typically day fifty-six for 8-week engagements)
We will turn down work we cannot scope into a fixed-fee, fixed-time engagement. We don't run open-ended retainers.
3 · IP ownership
On the handoff date, you own:
- The code · transferred to your git remote, with full history
- The prompts · all system prompts, few-shots, and the prompt registry
- The evals · the behavior test suite we built for your system
- The runbook · the operating documentation your team can extend
- The deploy pipeline · staged + production environments under your accounts
We retain no rights to your business logic, prompts, or evals. We may retain anonymized learnings (engineering patterns, latency benchmarks) for our own internal practice.
4 · Warranty
We carry a 90-day regression warranty. If a bug ships from our code during the engagement window and surfaces within 90 days of handoff, we will fix it at our cost — no retainer, no rebill. This does not cover changes you make after handoff, or third-party service outages outside our control.
5 · Payment terms
Fees are quoted in USD and invoiced on milestone delivery (typically: signing, mid-engagement, and handoff). Invoices are net-15. Late invoices accrue interest at 1.0% per month or the legal maximum, whichever is lower.
6 · Confidentiality
Anything you tell us about your business is confidential. We will sign your NDA on request, or you can sign ours. Confidentiality survives the engagement.
7 · Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kensink Labs' total liability for any claim arising from a Statement of Work is limited to the fees paid under that SOW. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
8 · Termination
Either party can terminate a Statement of Work for material breach with 14 days' written notice and an opportunity to cure. On termination:
- You pay for work completed up to the termination date
- We hand over what we've built, even if incomplete
- Confidentiality and IP ownership terms survive
9 · Website use
The content on kensink.com is published in good faith for general information. Don't scrape it for competitive intelligence; do link to it. If you copy substantial portions of our writing, credit Kensink Labs and link back to the original page.
10 · Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, NY.
11 · Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. For active engagements, the terms in your signed SOW prevail.
