1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern all services provided by Calidad Technolab, a Washington State business (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By engaging our services, accessing our website, or entering into a project, proposal, statement of work, invoice, or written agreement with us, you (“Client”) agree to be legally bound by this Agreement.

The Company retains full discretion over the manner and method of service delivery.

Ownership transfers only after full payment is received.

7. Confidentiality

The parties may enter into a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Absent a separate NDA, both parties agree to:

Confidentiality obligations survive termination.

  • Fitness for a particular purpose
  • Non-infringement

The Company does not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, system performance beyond agreed specifications, or uninterrupted service.

  • Client modifications to deliverables

12. Termination

The Company may terminate services immediately if:

  • Client fails to make timely payments
  • Client breaches this Agreement
  • Continued engagement exposes Company to legal or reputational risk

Client may terminate services subject to payment of all completed work and committed resources.

  • Natural disasters
  • Government actions
  • Labor disputes
