Terms of Service

Last updated: 9 April 2026

These Terms of Service govern all engagements between FalconMind Solutions and its clients. By engaging our services or confirming an engagement in writing, you agree to these Terms.

1. Parties and Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between FalconMind Solutions, a trading name operated by Sameer Shaik, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom ("we", "us", "FalconMind") and the person or entity engaging our services ("you", "the Client").

These Terms apply to all services provided by FalconMind Solutions, including but not limited to AI automation consultancy, AI chatbot and voice agent deployment, and website development and optimisation. They are supplemented by any written proposal, statement of work, or engagement letter agreed between the parties.

By confirming an engagement in writing (including by email), paying a deposit, or signing a proposal, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not proceed with an engagement.

For questions about these Terms: contact@falconmind.solutions

2. Scope of Services

FalconMind Solutions provides the following categories of service:

Foundation

Entry-level AI automation and website build. Includes core automation workflows, lead capture, and a professional web presence. Typical timeline: 5–10 business days.

Growth

Multi-channel AI deployment including chatbot and/or voice agent integration, process automation, and analytics setup. Typical timeline: 15–25 business days.

Enterprise

Bespoke AI systems, CRM integration, custom workflows, and full-stack development. Typical timeline: 25–40 business days.

The specific deliverables, timeline, and scope for your engagement will be defined in a written proposal or statement of work. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a written proposal, the written proposal shall prevail on that specific point.

What we do not provide: We do not provide ongoing 24/7 human support, legal or compliance advice, data entry services, or hardware procurement unless explicitly agreed in writing. We are not responsible for third-party platforms (e.g., CRMs, AI model providers, hosting services) that form part of your technical environment.

3. Client Responsibilities

The successful delivery of our services depends on your timely co-operation. You agree to:

  • Provide all content, materials, credentials, and access required for the project within agreed timescales
  • Provide timely feedback and approvals at agreed review stages (within 5 business days unless otherwise agreed)
  • Assign a single point of contact with authority to give instructions and approvals
  • Ensure any third-party systems or accounts you provide access to are lawfully held and appropriately licensed
  • Inform us promptly of any changes to your requirements, constraints, or deadlines
  • Complete any testing and sign off on deliverables in a timely manner

Where delays to delivery arise from your failure to meet these responsibilities, FalconMind Solutions shall not be liable for those delays. Project timelines will be adjusted accordingly and, at our discretion, additional fees may apply for extended project management.

4. Payment Terms

Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total agreed fee is required before work commences. Work will not begin until the deposit is received.

Balance

The remaining 50% balance is due prior to final delivery or launch, or within 14 days of completion — whichever is earlier. Final files, credentials, and live access will not be transferred until the balance is received in full.

Late payment

Invoices unpaid beyond the due date accrue interest at 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We reserve the right to suspend work on any active engagement where invoices are overdue.

Price changes

Prices quoted in a proposal are fixed for that engagement. We will provide at least 30 days' written notice of any changes to our standard pricing before they apply to future engagements.

4a. Cancellation and Refunds

We invest significant time in project preparation, discovery, and planning before visible work begins. Our refund policy reflects this:

  • Before work has begun: the deposit is non-refundable. If FalconMind cancels the engagement before commencing work for reasons within our control, the deposit will be returned in full.
  • After work has begun: no refund is available for work already completed. Upon cancellation, you will be invoiced for all work completed up to the date of cancellation, calculated pro-rata against the agreed fee. Any amount paid in excess of the value of completed work will be refunded.
  • Failure to deliver: if FalconMind fails to deliver any agreed milestone through no fault of the client and does not remedy the failure within a reasonable time (not less than 14 days after written notice), a proportional refund will be provided for undelivered work.

Custom work, including AI systems, chatbots, and bespoke websites, cannot be "returned" in the way physical goods can. This policy reflects the reality of service-based engagements.

5. Delivery and Timelines

All timelines stated in proposals and on our website are estimates, not contractual guarantees. Timelines assume:

  • Timely receipt of all required content, access, and approvals from the client
  • No material changes to the agreed scope during the engagement
  • Normal availability of third-party services and platforms

FalconMind will communicate proactively if delays arise from our side. We are not liable for delays caused by client-side delays, third-party outages, or scope changes.

A project is considered complete when the client has approved the final deliverable in writing (including by email). "Go-live" of any website or AI system requires explicit written sign-off from the client. Sign-off constitutes acceptance of the deliverable.

6. Intellectual Property

Client ownership of deliverables

Upon receipt of payment in full, FalconMind assigns to the client ownership of the specific deliverables created for that engagement — including website front-end code, custom content, and configured workflows — to the extent those deliverables do not incorporate FalconMind's proprietary components (see below).

FalconMind's retained rights

FalconMind retains ownership of: all underlying frameworks, libraries, code templates, AI prompt architectures, and proprietary methodologies used to build the deliverables. Where these are included in deliverables, the client receives a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them as part of the delivered system. This licence does not permit resale, sub-licensing, or redistribution of FalconMind's proprietary components.

AI model outputs

Where an engagement involves AI systems (chatbots, voice agents, automation workflows), the client owns the outputs generated by those systems in their operating environment. The client does not own the underlying AI models, which are licensed from third-party providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Use of AI outputs is subject to the applicable model provider's terms of service.

Portfolio rights

FalconMind retains the right to reference the engagement and display work samples in its portfolio and marketing materials, unless the client requests confidentiality in writing before the engagement begins.

Client content

You warrant that all content, materials, and assets you provide to FalconMind for use in the project are owned by you or that you have the rights to use them. You indemnify FalconMind against any third-party claims arising from content you provide.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FalconMind Solutions' total aggregate liability to the client — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise — arising out of or in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

FalconMind Solutions shall not be liable for:

  • Loss of profits, revenue, or anticipated savings
  • Loss of business, contracts, or goodwill
  • Loss or corruption of data
  • Business interruption
  • Any indirect, special, or consequential loss

These exclusions apply whether or not FalconMind has been advised of the possibility of such losses. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Note: These limitations reflect the nature of consulting and technology services, where outcomes depend on client implementation, third-party platforms, and business decisions outside our control.

8. Warranties

FalconMind Solutions warrants that:

  • Services will be provided with reasonable skill and care
  • We have the right to provide the services and grant the licences described in these Terms
  • Deliverables will materially conform to the specification agreed in the written proposal

Except as expressly stated above, all warranties, representations, and conditions — whether express or implied by statute, common law, or otherwise — are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We do not warrant that AI systems or automated workflows will be uninterrupted, error-free, or achieve any specific business outcome. AI system performance depends on training data, use context, and third-party model providers, which are outside our control.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other party's confidential information strictly confidential and not to disclose it to any third party without the other party's prior written consent, except:

  • To employees or contractors who need to know it for the purpose of the engagement and are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations
  • Where required by law, regulation, or court order (in which case the disclosing party will give as much notice as legally permissible)
  • Where the information is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this clause

"Confidential information" includes business strategy, client lists, pricing, technical systems, and any information marked as confidential or which a reasonable person would consider confidential in the circumstances.

This obligation survives termination of any engagement for a period of two years.

10. Termination

Termination by either party

Either party may terminate an active engagement by providing 30 days' written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the client will be invoiced for all work completed up to the termination date, calculated pro-rata against the agreed fee.

Immediate termination by FalconMind

We may terminate an engagement immediately and without liability if the client: (a) fails to pay any invoice within 14 days of its due date; (b) acts in a way that is abusive, threatening, or unlawful towards our team; or (c) requests that we perform work that would be unlawful or in breach of any third party's rights.

Effects of termination

On termination: all outstanding invoices become immediately due; FalconMind will provide the client with any completed deliverables (subject to payment); any ongoing access or licences granted under the engagement will cease unless otherwise agreed in writing.

11. Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of government or regulatory authorities, power or internet outages, failure of third-party infrastructure or platforms, civil unrest, or pandemic.

The affected party must notify the other party as soon as reasonably practicable. If a force majeure event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the affected engagement without liability, subject to payment for work already completed.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Step 1 — Good-faith negotiation: Before pursuing any formal remedy, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. Either party may initiate this process by sending written notice of the dispute. The parties will have 30 days from receipt of that notice to resolve the dispute informally.

Step 2 — Mediation: If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the written notice, either party may refer it to binding mediation administered by a CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) accredited mediator in London, United Kingdom. Both parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith before commencing litigation.

Step 3 — Courts: If mediation fails or a party fails to participate, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will give at least 30 days' notice of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date on this page and, where reasonably practicable, by email to any client with an active engagement.

Changes will not apply retrospectively to engagements already in progress at the time of the change. For new engagements commenced after the change date, the updated Terms will apply.
