Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between OuterHire Inc. ("OuterHire", "we", "us") and any entity or individual ("Client", "User", "you") accessing our website or engaging our staff augmentation and talent services.

1. Staff Augmentation & Services Delivery

OuterHire provides staff augmentation, dedicated managed pods, and specialist placement services across Technology, Finance, Healthcare, Legal, and Supply Chain. All engagements are executed pursuant to a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and specific Statements of Work (SOWs).

2. Intellectual Property Rights (100% Client Ownership)

All work products, deliverables, source code, software architecture, financial models, regulatory dossiers, algorithms, and documentation developed by augmented talent during the course of an active engagement shall be deemed "work made for hire" and shall remain 100% the exclusive intellectual property of the Client upon invoice payment.

3. 14-Day Risk-Free Evaluation Period

OuterHire provides a 14-day evaluation trial on new specialist placements. If the Client determines within the first fourteen (14) calendar days that an augmented individual does not meet reasonable performance standards, the Client may request an immediate replacement or terminate the placement without being billed for the trial period.

4. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure

Both parties agree to treat all proprietary business information, technical codebases, financial figures, customer records, and trade secrets as strictly confidential. All OuterHire personnel are bound by enforceable bilateral NDAs prior to accessing any Client repository or data environment.

5. Invoicing, Payments & Taxes

Services are billed at the rates specified in the applicable SOW on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. OuterHire assumes full statutory responsibility for employer payroll taxes, benefits, workers' compensation, and local labor law compliance for its global talent network.

6. Limitation of Liability

Except for breaches of confidentiality or gross negligence, neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of services. OuterHire's maximum aggregate liability under any engagement shall not exceed total fees paid by the Client in the preceding three (3) months.

7. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
