Legal
Terms of Service
The terms that apply to this website. Client work is governed by the agreement we sign with you, which takes precedence over anything here.
The short version
- These terms cover your use of this website. Any project we do for you is governed by a separate written agreement.
- Where a signed engagement agreement says something different to this page, the signed agreement wins.
- You own what we build for you. Ownership is not held back as leverage over payment.
- Nothing on this website is a binding offer, a quote, or professional advice you should act on without talking to us.
This summary is here to be useful, not to be relied on. The sections below are the actual terms.
Who these terms are with
This website is operated by Brilliant Systems LLC, a limited liability company registered in Colorado, United States, with an engineering office in Lahore, Pakistan. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Brilliant Systems LLC, and "you" means the person or organisation using the site.
By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
What we do
We are a software engineering firm. The services described on this site include custom and enterprise software development, AI development, SaaS and MVP development, web, mobile, frontend and backend engineering, UX and UI design, DevOps and platform work, cybersecurity, and software consulting.
Descriptions of those services on this website are for information. They are not an offer capable of acceptance and they do not form part of any contract between us. Availability, scope and price are agreed in writing for each engagement.
Engagements and this website
Nothing on this website creates a client relationship. That begins only when we both sign an engagement agreement or statement of work setting out scope, price, timescales and responsibilities.
Where anything on this page conflicts with a signed engagement agreement, the signed agreement takes precedence. This page cannot be used to reduce a commitment we have made to you in writing elsewhere.
Figures published on this site describing delivery speed or cost, including comparisons against conventional delivery, are drawn from our recent engagements and are offered as a general indication rather than a promise about your project. Every project is quoted individually and the comparison is put in writing before you commit to anything.
Intellectual property
The content of this website, including its text, design, code and illustrations, belongs to us. You may read it, quote it with attribution, and share links to it. You may not copy it wholesale, or reproduce it as your own.
Work we produce for a client is a different matter and is dealt with in the engagement agreement. Our standard position, and the one described elsewhere on this site, is that the client owns the deliverables, that repositories and cloud accounts are in the client name from the first commit, and that we do not hold ownership back as security against payment. Unpaid invoices are pursued as a debt rather than by withdrawing rights to software you depend on.
Third party components used in a build remain under their own licences, and we tell you which those are.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use this website to do anything unlawful, to attempt to gain unauthorised access to it or to the systems behind it, to interfere with its availability, or to submit anything through our forms that is unlawful, abusive or deliberately misleading.
Security researchers are welcome. If you believe you have found a vulnerability in this site, tell us at hello@brilliantsystems.io before disclosing it publicly and we will work with you and credit you if you would like that.
Availability and accuracy
We try to keep this website accurate and available, and we do not guarantee either. Content may become out of date, and we may change or remove it without notice. Nothing on this site is professional advice for your particular circumstances, and you should not act on it without speaking to us or to another suitably qualified adviser.
Third party links and services
This site links to other websites, including those of our clients and our own products, and embeds a booking calendar operated by HubSpot on the scheduling page. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Their terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of this website, including lost profits, lost business or lost data.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Liability arising from client work is dealt with in the relevant engagement agreement, which will set out its own limits.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what this website collects and what happens to anything you send us. It forms part of these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, and the courts of Denver County, Colorado have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from this website. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of your own local law.
Client engagements may specify a different governing law and jurisdiction, agreed with you at the time.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top of the page shows when they last changed, and the version in force is the one published here when you use the site.
