15. Frequently Asked Questions
These terms cover the legal relationship for all services provided by Errna. They work together with a specific Statement of Work (SOW) for your project, which details the exact scope, timeline, and costs. These terms provide the foundational legal framework for our partnership.
You do. Upon full and final payment for a project, you gain complete ownership of the custom work product (the "Deliverables") we created specifically for you. We retain ownership only of our pre-existing tools and general methodologies used to build it.
Payment terms are detailed in your specific SOW or invoice. Generally, invoices are due upon receipt. We reserve the right to charge late fees on payments overdue by 30 days and may suspend work on overdue accounts until payment is made.
We take confidentiality very seriously. Both parties are legally bound by the confidentiality clause (Section 7) to protect all non-public information shared during the project. We will not disclose your sensitive business or technical information to any third party without your consent.
Either party can terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice. Termination can be immediate in cases of a material breach of the terms that isn't resolved. Upon termination, you are responsible for payment for all work completed up to that point.
Our agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Any legal disputes will be handled exclusively by the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, as outlined in Section 12.
