01
Scope
These terms explain use of the CORNIQ website and the general framework for potential software engineering engagements. Visiting the website or submitting an enquiry does not create a service contract. A signed proposal or agreement defines the binding scope and takes precedence over this general information.
02
Services and proposals
CORNIQ may provide software design and development, web applications, backend and API development, integration, deployment engineering and maintenance. A proposal sets out requirements, assumptions, deliverables, responsibilities, exclusions, milestones and commercial terms. Work begins only once the proposal is accepted and any agreed commencement conditions are satisfied.
03
Client responsibilities
The client provides accurate requirements, timely decisions and the information and access needed for the agreed work. The client is responsible for the lawfulness of supplied content and data, authority to grant access, and any required third-party licences. Delayed or incomplete inputs may require a revised schedule or scope.
04
Delivery and changes
Delivery stages and acceptance criteria are defined in the project agreement. Reviews and acceptance periods should be specified there. Requests outside the agreed scope are evaluated for their effect on cost, schedule and architecture and require written agreement before implementation.
05
Payment
Prices, applicable taxes, invoicing milestones, payment deadlines and any lawful late-payment conditions are set out in the accepted proposal. No pricing or payment obligation is created solely by the website. Third-party subscriptions, hosting and usage costs are included only when expressly stated.
06
Intellectual property and third-party software
Rights in project-specific deliverables, transfer conditions and payment dependencies are defined in the written agreement. Pre-existing tools, reusable components and third-party software retain their respective ownership and licence terms. Open-source components must be used in accordance with their licences. No rights are transferred by browsing this website.
07
Maintenance and confidentiality
Maintenance, response arrangements and ongoing development require an agreed support scope; they are not automatically included after delivery. Each party should protect confidential information received for the project and disclose it only as needed to authorised recipients, subject to legal obligations and agreed exceptions.
08
Liability and force majeure
Responsibilities, warranties and any permitted limitations of liability are determined in the project agreement and remain subject to mandatory law. No website statement guarantees uninterrupted or error-free software. Events qualifying as force majeure under applicable law are addressed through notification and reasonable mitigation, with their contractual consequences set out in the agreement.
09
Termination and applicable law
The agreement defines termination grounds, notice, payment for work performed, handover and treatment of confidential information. The website and this general framework are governed by French law, subject to mandatory protections and jurisdiction rules. Parties should seek an amicable resolution before legal proceedings.
