LEGAL AGREEMENT

Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: September 2026 · NavAI Ops Client Terms

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website, discovery consultations, software engineering services, artificial intelligence implementations, and technical systems provided by NavAI Ops (“NavAI Ops,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing our website, submitting an inquiry, scheduling a consultation, or engaging NavAI Ops to design, develop, deploy, or maintain technical systems, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Where a separate written Master Services Agreement, Statement of Work, or contract has been executed between NavAI Ops and your organization, the terms of that specific written agreement shall prevail in the event of any direct conflict with these general website terms.

2. Scope of Services

NavAI Ops is a technology engineering, artificial intelligence systems, and digital automation studio. Our service capabilities include:

  • Autonomous and assistive AI agent systems
  • Conversational voice agents and telephonic triage infrastructure
  • Enterprise workflow automation and back-office orchestration
  • Custom software engineering and application development
  • Modern web systems, digital platforms, and full-stack solutions
  • Search growth systems, technical SEO architecture, and AI-enabled marketing platforms
  • Third-party API integrations, CRM synchronization, and database pipelines
  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) development and cloud infrastructure advisory

The specific scope, features, deliverables, and service levels applicable to any client engagement are strictly defined by the relevant written proposal, Statement of Work (SOW), or commercial agreement executed by the parties.

3. Statements of Work

Custom client projects, software engineering implementations, and ongoing technical deployments are conducted under mutually agreed written Statements of Work (SOW). Each SOW typically details:

  • Project scope, system architecture, and functional deliverables
  • Development phases, milestones, and estimated delivery timelines
  • Respective party responsibilities, technical dependencies, and access requirements
  • Professional fees, billing schedules, milestone payments, and expense terms
  • Testing procedures, review windows, and milestone acceptance criteria

Modifications to an active SOW require a mutually approved written change order detailing any corresponding adjustments to scope, delivery timelines, or associated fees.

4. Client Responsibilities

The successful delivery and operational reliability of software, automation, and AI systems require active collaboration. Clients agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and timely business context, documentation, and technical requirements
  • Furnish necessary administrative access, API credentials, developer keys, and test accounts required to perform integrations
  • Supply approved corporate assets, copy, knowledge base material, and training datasets
  • Promptly review and test deliverables within the agreed review windows established in the applicable SOW
  • Obtain all requisite authorizations, intellectual property licenses, and end-user consents necessary for NavAI Ops to connect, process, or utilize client-supplied data or third-party systems
  • Ensure that their business operations, marketing communications, automated calling, customer outreach, and use of developed systems comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws

5. Fees and Payment

Fees for professional engineering, system architecture, custom development, and advisory services are established in the applicable SOW, proposal, or written contract. Payment arrangements may encompass fixed project milestones, upfront initiation deposits, time-and-materials arrangements, or recurring monthly retainers as specified in the relevant agreement.

Invoices are payable according to the credit terms indicated on the invoice or governing agreement. Late payments may result in the suspension of active development, postponement of scheduled releases, or temporary disconnection of managed infrastructure until outstanding balances are resolved.

6. Third-Party Services and API Costs

NavAI Ops systems frequently interface with external services, including artificial intelligence model providers, speech synthesis and transcription engines, telecommunications and SMS carriers, cloud hosting providers, database platforms, and third-party SaaS applications.

Unless explicitly incorporated into a bundled managed service agreement, operational usage charges for third-party platforms (including LLM token consumption, telephony per-minute rates, messaging carrier surcharges, and hosting infrastructure) are the direct financial responsibility of the client.

NavAI Ops does not control and does not guarantee the ongoing pricing structures, rate limits, credit requirements, or availability terms imposed by third-party infrastructure providers.

7. Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights associated with software and engineering engagements are allocated across three clear categories:

A. Client-Specific Deliverables

Conditioned upon receipt of full payment for all applicable fees, custom deliverables created exclusively for the client under a specific SOW (such as custom application code, custom prompt configurations, client-specific workflow orchestrations, and unique branding assets) shall transfer to the client in accordance with the terms of that SOW.

B. NavAI Ops Pre-Existing Materials

NavAI Ops retains sole ownership of all pre-existing software, foundational architectures, reusable frameworks, utility libraries, boilerplate code, scaffolding, tools, methodologies, algorithms, generic UI components, and internal engineering know-how (“Pre-Existing Materials”) utilized during development. To the extent Pre-Existing Materials are embedded in client deliverables, NavAI Ops grants the client a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to utilize such materials solely as incorporated within the operational deliverable.

C. Third-Party Materials

Third-party libraries, open-source software, proprietary APIs, foundation models, and commercial software packages remain the intellectual property of their respective licensors and are governed by their respective open-source or commercial license terms.

8. Confidentiality

Each party agrees that all non-public technical, commercial, operational, financial, or strategic information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other (“Receiving Party”) in connection with consultations or project delivery shall be treated as confidential.

The Receiving Party agrees to exercise reasonable care to protect such confidential information and not disclose it to unauthorized third parties, except to employees, contractors, and legal or financial advisors who require access to perform project duties and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly known through no breach, was already known prior to disclosure, or is independently developed without reference to confidential information.

9. Data and Security

The processing and protection of personal and commercial information collected through our website and consultations are governed by our Privacy Policy.

Where NavAI Ops develops software that processes client customer records, proprietary documentation, or operational databases, data-handling procedures, security baselines, and data-processing terms are defined within the applicable SOW or a dedicated Data Processing Agreement (DPA). NavAI Ops applies reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to safeguard systems under our direct control, but does not provide an absolute guarantee against sophisticated third-party security intrusions or upstream cloud vulnerabilities.

10. AI Systems and Automated Outputs

Artificial intelligence models, language processing engines, and autonomous agent systems are probabilistic computational tools that generate outputs based on training patterns, prompts, and contextual inputs.

Clients acknowledge and agree that:

  • NavAI Ops does not guarantee that automated AI outputs will be universally accurate, error-free, complete, or current at all times.
  • Depending on the operational context, automated outputs may require human oversight, review, and verification (“human-in-the-loop”) prior to customer distribution, transactional commitment, or high-consequence operational action.
  • Clients maintain ultimate responsibility for evaluating, testing, and approving automated workflows, customer-facing agent scripts, and generative outputs before deploying them into live operational environments.
  • NavAI Ops systems and software are not designed, certified, or intended to serve as a substitute for professional legal, medical, accounting, financial, structural, or other regulated professional judgment.

11. Third-Party Dependencies

Many of the solutions engineered by NavAI Ops rely upon third-party APIs, telecommunications networks, cloud hosting platforms, foundation AI models, and software platforms.

NavAI Ops is not liable for disruptions, latency, unexpected API deprecations, rate-limit throttles, or service outages originating within external platforms outside our direct control. Where external service disruptions occur, NavAI Ops will make reasonable commercial efforts to assist clients with diagnosis, retry logic, or architectural workarounds as scoped in the governing agreement.

12. Service Availability and Reliability

While NavAI Ops engineers systems designed for robust operational reliability, high availability, and graceful degradation, we do not warrant that our website, software deployments, or managed integrations will operate completely uninterrupted, bug-free, or without latency.

Specific uptime guarantees, recovery objectives, support response windows, or Service Level Agreements (SLAs) apply only when explicitly committed to in a fully executed written SOW or service agreement.

13. Warranties and Disclaimers

NavAI Ops warrants that it will perform engineering and advisory services with professional skill and care consistent with standard software industry practices.

Except as expressly set forth in a written agreement signed by NavAI Ops, all services, software, website materials, demonstrations, and technical systems are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall NavAI Ops, its directors, employees, contractors, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, anticipated profits, business interruption, loss of data, loss of business goodwill, or third-party telecommunications charges, arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use our website, services, or deployed systems, regardless of the legal theory invoked and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NavAI Ops' aggregate cumulative liability arising out of or related to any project, service, or engagement shall be limited to the total fees actually received by NavAI Ops from the client under the specific SOW or order giving rise to the claim during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability; in such jurisdictions, liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

15. Indemnification

Clients agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NavAI Ops, its officers, contractors, and employees from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or reasonable legal expenses arising out of:

  • Client-supplied data, content, prompt instructions, or corporate materials that infringe the rights of any third party
  • The client's use or deployment of software, voice systems, or automated tools in violation of applicable telecommunications, privacy, or consumer protection laws
  • Any gross negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach of these Terms or the governing agreement by the client

16. Termination

The terms governing the termination of ongoing engineering engagements, retainer agreements, or milestone contracts are established in the applicable SOW or client contract. Either party may typically terminate an agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any provision and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice.

Upon termination, the client remains responsible for payment of all fees accrued and expenses incurred for services rendered up to the effective termination date. Provisions concerning intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and general contractual terms shall survive termination.

17. Changes to Terms

NavAI Ops reserves the right to update or modify these Terms & Conditions periodically to accommodate changes in our technical capabilities, service offerings, legal frameworks, or operational standards.

Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued access to the website or utilization of our services following the publication of revised terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

The governing law, legal jurisdiction, and formal dispute resolution mechanisms applicable to custom software engineering engagements, enterprise deployments, and commercial services are established in the specific written agreement, SOW, or Master Services Agreement executed between NavAI Ops and the client.

In the absence of a separate written contract, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to website usage or general inquiries shall first be submitted to good-faith informal negotiations between the parties before initiating formal legal proceedings.

19. General Provisions

  • Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
  • Waiver: No waiver of any term or condition shall be deemed a continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and NavAI Ops' failure to assert any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right.
  • Assignment: Clients may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms or any SOW without the prior written consent of NavAI Ops. NavAI Ops may assign its rights to a successor in connection with a corporate reorganization, merger, or asset acquisition.
  • Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, strikes, telecommunications carrier failures, widespread cloud infrastructure outages, or distributed denial-of-service attacks.
  • Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any applicable SOWs, proposals, and our Privacy Policy, constitute the complete understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications or understandings.
