Terms of service
The terms on which Mehnga Technologies provides this website, the free consultation and demo, and paid engineering work.
These terms have not yet been reviewed by legal counsel. Several clauses — intellectual property, payment terms, warranty, liability and governing law — are still open and are marked as blanks in the text.
Nothing here overrides a signed agreement. When we work together, the contract and the statement of work you sign are the terms that bind us both, and they win over this page.
Last reviewed: not yet published
What these terms cover
These terms apply to your use of this website and to the free meeting, free consultation and free demo we offer before any paid work starts. They are between you and Mehnga Technologies, registered as legal entity and registered address to be confirmed.
Paid work is governed by a separate signed agreement and statement of work. Where that agreement and this page disagree, the signed agreement wins.
Using this website
You may read this site, use the interactive demos on it, and contact us. You may not attack it, scrape it at a rate that degrades it for others, or use it to send us unlawful content.
The demos on this site — including the in-browser computer-vision demo and the 3D board viewer — are provided as they are, for illustration. They are not products, they carry no warranty, and results you see in them are not a promise of results in your project. How they handle your data is described in our privacy notice — in short, the camera demo runs entirely on your device and uploads nothing.
Everything on this site — text, design, brand marks, diagrams and code — belongs to us unless stated otherwise, and may not be reproduced as your own.
The free meeting, consultation and demo
Free meeting. Free consultation. Free demo — for every project, every client.
That is a real offer, not a trial with a hidden edge, so here is exactly what it includes:
- The meeting — a scheduled call, normally twenty minutes, with an engineer who would work on your project. Free, for every project and every client.
- The consultation — our honest technical read on that call: whether what you want is feasible, how we would approach it, what is difficult about it, and a rough sense of the effort involved. Free.
- The demo — one working demonstration of an agreed part of your idea, built by us before you commit anything. Free.
Where free ends. You pay only when you say 'build it'. Design, development, manufacture, testing, deployment, ongoing support and anything beyond the agreed demo scope are paid work, quoted and agreed in writing before it starts. You will never receive an invoice for something you did not agree to in writing.
The offer is limited in the ways any real offer is: one free demo per project rather than an unlimited series; scheduling depends on availability; and we may decline a project — for example if it is outside what we can do well, or if it would be unlawful. If we decline, we say so plainly and early.
What a free demo is — and is not
A free demo exists to answer one question: can these people build the thing? Its scope is agreed with you on the consultation call and written down before we start, so both sides know what “done” looks like.
- It is a demonstration: enough to prove the approach works on your problem.
- It is not production software or production hardware. It is not hardened, not certified, not load-tested, not documented for handover and not maintained.
- It comes with no warranty and no support commitment, and must not be deployed to real users, real customers or a live production environment.
- We may need something from you to build it — sample data, access to a device, a specification. If that does not arrive, the demo cannot.
Ownership of demo material. Your idea, your data and anything confidential you give us remain yours — that never changes, and section 05 covers it. Who owns the demo artefacts we produce, and on what licence you may use them if you do not go ahead: demo IP terms to be settled with counsel.
Confidentiality and NDAs
NDA-first if you want it — your idea stays yours.
We offer to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you describe anything sensitive, not after. Tell us when you book and we will send one first. NDA-first is our default for hardware and product ideas.
Whether or not an NDA is signed, we treat what you tell us about an unreleased project as confidential: we do not discuss it outside the people working on it, and nothing about your project appears on this website, in a case study or in a portfolio without your written go-ahead. Where you allow us to reference the work but not your name, we publish it under a label that identifies neither you nor your product.
Standard NDA form and signing order: NDA template to be finalised.
Paid engagements, quotes and payment
We do not quote a project we have not understood. A quote follows the consultation and, where there is one, the demo — at the point where both sides know what is actually being built. Quotes itemise what is included and are valid for the period stated on them.
Each engagement is confirmed by a signed agreement and a statement of work covering scope, deliverables, milestones, timeline, assumptions and price. Changes to scope are agreed in writing before they are worked on and may change price and schedule.
Payment terms — deposit, milestone structure, invoicing period, currency, taxes, expenses and late payment: payment terms to be confirmed.
Intellectual property
What you bring stays yours. Your idea, your brand, your data, your existing designs and anything else you provide remain your property. We claim nothing over them.
What we deliver. Ownership of the work we produce for you under a paid engagement — source code, schematics, PCB layouts, firmware, CAD, models and documentation — and the point at which it transfers: IP assignment terms to be settled with counsel. This is one of the first things a signed agreement will state explicitly, and we will not leave it ambiguous in a contract even while this page is still a draft.
What we reuse. Our own pre-existing tools, libraries, internal frameworks and general engineering know-how remain ours, and we go on using them for other clients. Nothing confidential to you is ever part of that. The licence you receive to any such component embedded in your deliverable: background IP licence terms to be confirmed.
Third-party components. Deliverables may include open-source or licensed third-party components. Where they do, we identify them and the licence each is under, so you know exactly what you are shipping.
Warranties and support
We will perform paid work with reasonable skill and care, using people competent to do it. That commitment is not conditional on anything below.
Post-handover warranty and support — what is covered, for how long, with what response times, and at what cost: support and warranty terms to be confirmed.
Free demos carry no warranty of any kind — see section 04. Nothing on this website is a warranty or a guarantee of a particular result.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and for fraud.
Subject to that, and for paid work, neither side is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, or loss of or damage to data, however caused.
Liability cap — the maximum aggregate amount either side can be liable for under an engagement: liability cap to be set with counsel.
For the free meeting, consultation and demo, and for this website, our liability is limited to the fullest extent the law allows: they are provided at no charge, as they are, and decisions you take on the strength of them are yours. We give you our honest technical opinion; we cannot guarantee an outcome that depends on your market, your suppliers or your users.
Ending an engagement
Either side can walk away from the free stage at any point, for any reason, with no cost and nothing owed. That is what makes it free rather than a trial.
For paid work, notice periods, what happens to work in progress, and what is payable on termination are set out in the signed agreement: termination and notice terms to be confirmed. Our position going in is that you pay for work actually done and you keep what you paid for.
Governing law and disputes
Governing law: governing law to be confirmed. Jurisdiction: courts to be confirmed.
Before either side escalates a disagreement, we will try to settle it in a conversation. That is not a legal formality — most disputes in this industry are a specification misunderstanding wearing a suit.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version in force for an engagement is the one in effect when the agreement for it was signed, and a later change to this page does not alter it. The review date at the top of this page tells you which version you are reading.
