Terms of Service

Last updated: May 18, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Chairlift website at chairlift.dev (the "Site") and any consulting or related services provided by Chairlift ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing the Site or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services

Chairlift provides software engineering and technology consulting services, including but not limited to software development, system architecture, cloud and infrastructure work, automation, operational support, and technical advisory. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement will be set out in a separate written agreement, statement of work, or order form between Chairlift and the client. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls.

2. Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use of the Site by, any third party. You agree not to interfere with the operation of the Site, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, or use the Site to transmit malicious code.

3. Fees and Payment

Fees for consulting services are set out in the applicable engagement agreement or invoice. Unless otherwise stated in writing, invoices are due within fifteen (15) days of receipt. Late payments may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Payments processed online are handled by third-party payment processors, and you agree to be bound by their applicable terms.

4. Refunds

Consulting fees for services already performed are non-refundable. Any pre-paid fees for services not yet delivered may be refundable on a pro-rata basis at Chairlift's discretion, subject to the terms of the applicable engagement agreement. Refund requests should be sent to kyle@chairlift.dev.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, and code, is the property of Chairlift or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Ownership of work product produced under an engagement is governed by the applicable engagement agreement.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with an engagement, and to use such information solely for the purposes of performing under, or receiving the benefit of, the engagement.

7. Warranties and Disclaimers

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chairlift disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Consulting services are provided subject to the warranties expressly set out in the applicable engagement agreement; no other warranties are made.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Chairlift be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site or our services. Chairlift's aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or any engagement shall not exceed the fees actually paid to Chairlift for the services giving rise to the claim during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Chairlift and its principals, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site or our services.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. The terms of termination for any consulting engagement are governed by the applicable engagement agreement.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Chairlift is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts located in that jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above indicates when the Terms were last revised. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
