Terms of Engagement & IP Assignment Guarantee

Effective Date: August 2026 • Master Terms governing dedicated pods, staff augmentation, and offshore technology contracts.

1. 100% Intellectual Property Assignment Guarantee

At SyntelligenceIT, intellectual property ownership is straightforward and absolute:

Work for Hire: All software code, algorithms, schemas, UI designs, and documentation produced by SyntelligenceIT pods constitute "work made for hire" under applicable copyright laws.
Direct Assignment: All right, title, and interest in and to any work product vests immediately and exclusively in the Client upon creation.
No Vendor Lock-in or Residual Claims: SyntelligenceIT retains zero residual rights, claims, or licensing liens on client deliverables.

2. Engagement Models & Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

SyntelligenceIT provides Dedicated Pods, Staff Augmentation, and Outcome-Based teams. We adhere to strict delivery SLAs:

  • Pod Kickoff SLA: Standard pods are assembled and onboarded into active sprint cycles within 10-14 business days of contract execution.
  • Risk-Free Trial Period: New client engagements include a 2-week risk-free evaluation period. If performance expectations are not met, the client may terminate with zero penalty.
  • Replacement Guarantee: If any engineer in your pod is not an ideal technical or cultural fit, SyntelligenceIT will provide an alternate senior engineer within 5 business days at zero transition cost.

3. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure (NDA)

All engineers undergo rigorous background verification and execute binding Non-Disclosure Agreements protecting proprietary business logic, customer data, and trade secrets before accessing any client repository. NDAs are fully enforceable under US, UK, EU, and Sri Lankan commercial courts.

4. Billing & Notice Terms

Services are billed as predictable monthly retainers per engineer or pod structure. After the initial commitment term specified in the Statement of Work (SOW), contracts can be scaled, paused, or terminated with standard 30-day written notice.
