These engagement terms outline BAY47 INC's approach to software, AI, and cloud project delivery, including criteria, process, IP rights, payment, confidentiality, and dispute resolution. We focus on long-term value creation through quality engineering and reliable execution.
BAY47 INC follows a structured engagement approach focused on long-term client success:
We partner with companies that have clear product goals and growth potential
Our focus areas include software engineering, AI integration, cloud infrastructure, and modern product development
All engagements are documented through written contracts
We provide ongoing engineering support and technical leadership throughout the engagement
Project decisions are based on thorough discovery, scoping, and architectural planning
We seek partnerships with companies that value engineering quality and long-term reliability
Our engagement horizon is long-term, focusing on sustainable systems and continuous improvement
Projects must meet specific criteria for us to take them on:
Clear product or business goal that engineering can directly contribute to
Realistic budget, timeline, and scope aligned with quality delivery
Stakeholder availability for discovery, reviews, and feedback throughout the build
Commitment to modern engineering practices, testing, and maintainability
Alignment with BAY47 INC's areas of expertise and capacity
Compliance with applicable regulations relevant to the client's industry
Opportunities for meaningful technical impact and ongoing collaboration
Our engagement process involves several stages to ensure alignment and success:
Initial Discovery: review of business goals, product requirements, and technical context
Scoping & Estimation: detailed scoping, architectural direction, and effort estimates
Proposal & Planning: project structure, team composition, milestones, and timelines
Contracting: written engagement agreement, executed electronically with the same legal effect as a manually signed contract
Kickoff & Onboarding: team setup, environment access, and first sprint planning
Delivery & Iteration: iterative delivery with regular reviews and continuous improvement
Engagement terms are customized based on each project and confirmed in a written contract:
Project-based engagements with fixed scope, timeline, and pricing
Dedicated team engagements (time & materials) for long-term product development
Hybrid retainer models combining ongoing engineering with milestone-based deliverables
Advisory and consulting engagements for architecture, audits, and technical leadership
Milestone-based delivery linked to product releases and business outcomes
Terms designed to support quality delivery while protecting both parties
Intellectual property ownership and licensing are clearly defined in each engagement:
Upon full payment, clients retain full ownership of delivered code, designs, and project-specific intellectual property
BAY47 INC retains rights to underlying tools, frameworks, libraries, and methodologies developed prior to or independent of the engagement
All work product is protected under applicable copyright and trademark law
Confidential information is protected by written non-disclosure agreements
Open-source software used in deliverables is governed by its respective license; we ensure license compatibility and disclosure
Trade secrets remain protected under applicable trade-secret law
Engagement partnerships involve mutual rights and obligations:
Clients retain full ownership of delivered code, designs, and intellectual property upon payment
BAY47 INC provides engineering execution, technical leadership, and architectural guidance
Regular reporting and transparency to track progress, blockers, and milestones
Access to BAY47 INC's engineering expertise, tooling, and best practices
Commitment to professional standards, ethical conduct, and regulatory compliance
Both parties agree to act in good faith consistent with the engagement contract
Payment terms are specified in each written engagement contract:
Invoices issued per the milestones and schedule defined in the engagement contract
Standard payment terms are Net 15 or Net 30 days unless otherwise agreed
Late payments may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by law
We reserve the right to pause delivery for overdue invoices in accordance with the engagement contract
Applicable sales/use tax will be charged where required by law
Disputed invoices must be raised in writing within 15 days of receipt; otherwise invoices are deemed accepted
Confidentiality is critical in every client engagement:
All information shared during discovery and delivery is treated as confidential
We sign non-disclosure agreements before accessing sensitive product information
Information shared is used solely for project-delivery purposes
Confidentiality obligations are protected under applicable trade-secret law
Strict confidentiality is maintained throughout and after the engagement (typically 3–5 years post-engagement unless otherwise agreed)
Secure return or deletion of confidential materials at the end of an engagement
Protection of proprietary information and trade secrets of all parties
Software engagements involve inherent risks that we mitigate together:
Scope changes and evolving requirements may impact timelines and budgets — addressed through change orders
Industry-specific risks and integration complexity in emerging technologies
Dependencies on third-party APIs, platforms, or vendor systems
Regulatory changes that may affect technical scope
Production risks including performance, security, and operational concerns
Past performance is shared as a reference, not a guarantee of identical outcomes
Force-majeure events (natural disasters, government actions, cyber events) are excused per the engagement contract
We provide regular reporting and transparency throughout every engagement:
Regular sprint reports, velocity tracking, and milestone reviews
Updates on technical decisions, architectural changes, and risk areas
Disclosure of any blockers or scope adjustments that may impact delivery
Access to repos, project boards, and documentation for full client visibility
Collaborative approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
Open communication channels for technical and strategic discussions
Project closures are structured to ensure long-term client success:
Knowledge-transfer sessions and detailed technical documentation
Closure timing determined by deliverables, stability, and stakeholder alignment
Optional ongoing support and maintenance retainers post-launch
Flexible approach prioritizing long-term system health over rushed handovers
Clear communication and alignment with internal teams during transition
Final deliverables, code repositories, and credentials handed over per agreement
Project records retained for the period required by applicable record-retention obligations
All engagements adhere to applicable regulatory requirements:
Data-protection and privacy obligations relevant to the project scope
Industry-specific compliance where applicable (e.g., healthcare, financial services)
Anti-corruption, anti-money-laundering, and trade-sanction regulations
Software licensing and disclosure requirements
Respect for intellectual property rights
Appropriate security and governance practices
Regular reviews and due diligence to ensure ongoing compliance
Any dispute arising from an engagement is resolved as follows:
Parties first attempt informal resolution by contacting knock-knock@bay47.org within 30 days
If informal resolution fails, disputes are resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in Miami-Dade County, Florida
Disputes not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida
Class-action and representative-proceeding waivers apply to the extent permitted by law
Engagement contracts are governed by the laws of the State of Florida unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing
