Agreement to These Terms
By accessing our website at idsaikc.com or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our website or engage our services.
These Terms apply to all visitors, prospective clients, and current clients of Innovation Dreams Strategic AI, LLC ("IDSAI," "we," "our," or "us").
How We Work: The Deliverables Model
IDSAI operates exclusively on a deliverables-based model. Every engagement is governed by the following structure:
- Each project has a specific, defined deliverable
- A quoted price agreed to before work begins
- A clear scope that describes exactly what is and is not included
- A defined delivery date or timeline
We do not offer retainers, ongoing embedded relationships, or fractional arrangements. Each engagement is discrete. New work requires a new quote and a new agreement.
Exception: Training and knowledge transfer engagements may be billed hourly as consulting. These are offered by fit and availability only, not on demand.
All project terms, pricing, and scope are confirmed in writing before work begins. Verbal agreements are not binding. If it is not in writing, it is not agreed to.
Client Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate information. We build on what you give us. If the information you provide is incomplete, inaccurate, or withheld, the quality of the deliverable is affected. That is not on us.
- Timely feedback and approvals. Projects have timelines. Delays caused by slow client response, withheld approvals, or unavailability are not grounds for refunds or deadline adjustments on our end.
- Your own accounts and infrastructure. IDSAI does not create accounts on your behalf, front costs for third-party platforms, or take on ownership of client infrastructure. You pay for your own tools.
- Legal compliance. You represent that any content, data, or materials you provide to us do not violate third-party rights, applicable laws, or platform terms of service.
Payment Terms
Payment terms are specified in each project agreement. General terms:
- Payment is due as outlined in your project quote. Work does not begin until the agreed deposit or full payment is received.
- Late payments may result in paused work. If a project is paused due to non-payment for more than 14 days, IDSAI reserves the right to cancel the engagement without refund of amounts already paid.
- All prices are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
- We do not accept payment via cryptocurrency unless explicitly agreed in writing.
No refunds on completed deliverables. Once a deliverable has been delivered and accepted, payment is non-refundable. If you have concerns about the deliverable, raise them before acceptance. Our revision process is defined in your project scope.
Intellectual Property and Ownership
What You Own
Upon full payment, you own the final deliverable. We do not retain rights to work product you have paid for in full. You are free to use, modify, distribute, or resell it as you see fit.
What We Retain
IDSAI retains ownership of our processes, methodologies, templates, internal tools, training materials, and proprietary frameworks used in producing your deliverable. Ownership of the output transfers to you. Ownership of how we produced it stays with us.
Pre-Existing Materials
Each party retains ownership of any materials they bring into the engagement. If we incorporate third-party licensed materials into your deliverable, we will disclose that and ensure you have the rights to use them.
Portfolio Rights
We may reference the existence of a client relationship for portfolio and business development purposes unless you request otherwise in writing before the engagement begins.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to treat the other's confidential information with care. "Confidential information" includes business strategies, client lists, financial details, project specifics, and any information reasonably understood to be private.
We will not disclose your confidential information to third parties except as required to deliver your services, or as required by law. We expect the same from you regarding IDSAI's internal processes, pricing structures, and proprietary tools.
This obligation survives the end of any engagement.
Use of AI in Service Delivery
IDSAI uses artificial intelligence tools as part of our production workflow. This is fundamental to how we work and is not hidden. By engaging our services, you acknowledge and accept this.
- AI tools are used to produce, refine, and quality-check deliverables
- All AI-assisted work is reviewed and finalized by a human before delivery
- We do not use your confidential materials to train AI models
- Specific AI tools used in your project are disclosed upon request
See our AI Policy for full detail on how we use AI and what that means for your work.
Warranties and Disclaimers
We warrant that we will deliver services with professional skill and care, and that deliverables will materially conform to the agreed scope.
We do not warrant specific business outcomes, revenue results, search rankings, audience growth, or other performance metrics that depend on factors outside our control, including your implementation, market conditions, platform algorithm changes, or third-party services.
Results depend on execution. A strategy document is not a guarantee of results. A website is not a guarantee of traffic. We build the deliverable. What you do with it determines the outcome.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, IDSAI's total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific deliverable giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or loss of business opportunity, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with written notice. In the event of termination:
- You owe payment for all work completed up to the date of termination, prorated against the project scope
- IDSAI will deliver all completed work product to you at that stage
- Deposits are non-refundable unless IDSAI terminates the engagement without cause
IDSAI reserves the right to terminate any engagement immediately and without refund if a client engages in abusive, threatening, or harassing behavior toward IDSAI staff or representatives.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Disputes will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If that fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Kansas City, Missouri. Class action waiver applies.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief where warranted.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms periodically. Changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Active clients will be notified of material changes directly.
