Overview
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (this "Agreement") between you and Klaus Way and our affiliated companies (hereinafter "we," "us," or "our") that govern your access to and use of our website at klausway.com (the "Site").
By using the Site, you are saying that you understand this Agreement and accept all its terms, including our Privacy Policy, which is part of this Agreement. If you don't agree, your option is not to use or access the Site.
Klaus Way provides IT consulting and strategy, custom application development, system integration, business automation, data analytics, and cloud services (collectively, the "Consulting Services"), and may also build, host, and support custom, standalone software applications for clients (such as CRM, e-signature, reporting, inventory, payment integration, GPS/fleet tracking, and AI voice agent systems) (each, a "Client Application"). Any engagement for Consulting Services or a Client Application, including scope, deliverables, fees, ownership of work product, service levels, and support, is governed by a separate signed proposal, statement of work, master services agreement, or similar written agreement between you (or your organization) and us (a "Services Agreement"). This Agreement governs your use of the Site itself; where a Services Agreement conflicts with this Agreement, the Services Agreement controls with respect to that conflict.
The Site is offered for use by businesses and individuals for lawful purposes only, and is not directed to individuals under the age of 18.
1. The Site's Intended Purpose
The Site describes our Consulting Services and portfolio of Client Applications, and allows visitors ("Users," "you," "your," or "yourself") to learn about our work, request a free consultation, and contact us regarding a potential engagement.
2. Changes to this Agreement
We may revise and update this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. Changes are effective immediately when posted and apply to all access to and use of the Site thereafter. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
3. Limited License Grant
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Site and its content on a device you own or control, strictly for your own informational and evaluative purposes in considering our Consulting Services.
4. Reservation of Rights
The Site is provided under license, and not sold, to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Site under this Agreement. We and our licensors and service providers reserve and retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Site, including all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights, except as expressly granted to you in this Agreement. Ownership and licensing of any custom-built Client Application, including source code, is instead governed exclusively by the applicable Services Agreement.
5. Engagements and Statements of Work
Any consulting engagement, custom development project, or ongoing support arrangement — including project scope, timelines, deliverables, intellectual property ownership, fees, payment terms, warranties specific to the work, and service levels — will be set out in a Services Agreement signed by both parties. Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer capable of acceptance, a quote, or a binding commitment to perform any Consulting Services; it is provided for general informational purposes, and any engagement begins only upon execution of a Services Agreement.
6. Your Information and Content
6.1. Site inquiries. "Your Information" means information you submit through the Site, such as through our contact or consultation-request forms (for example, your name, company, email, phone number, and project details). Our collection and use of this information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of this Agreement. You agree that we may rely on Your Information as accurate, current, and complete, and you represent that you have authority to share any information you submit on behalf of your organization.
6.2. Client and project data. If you engage us for Consulting Services or a Client Application, any business data, materials, or content you provide us for that engagement, and any data processed within a Client Application we build or host for you, is governed by the confidentiality, data protection, and (where applicable) data processing terms of your Services Agreement and any related Data Processing Addendum, not by this Site-focused Agreement.
7. Confidentiality
Confidential or proprietary information you or we share in connection with a proposed or actual engagement will be treated in accordance with the confidentiality terms of the applicable Services Agreement, or, prior to signing one, only to the extent reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, using reasonable care to protect it from unauthorized disclosure.
8. Our Communications with You
By submitting a form on the Site, you agree to receive communications from us relating to your inquiry, including by email or phone, subject to our Privacy Policy. Where you have consented, we may also send you occasional updates about our services, blog content, or promotions; you may opt out of non-essential communications at any time as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Prohibited Uses

11. Links from the Site

12. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND DOES NOT LIMIT ANY WARRANTY EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN A SERVICES AGREEMENT, WHICH GOVERNS ANY ACTUAL ENGAGEMENT.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OR OUR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND DOES NOT LIMIT ANY LIABILITY TERMS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN A SERVICES AGREEMENT, WHICH GOVERN ANY ACTUAL ENGAGEMENT.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of this Agreement or your misuse of the Site.
15. Term and Termination
This Agreement remains in effect for as long as you access or use the Site. We may restrict or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion. Sections of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination (including Reservation of Rights, Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) will survive.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to it (including non-contractual disputes), will be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Site will be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut or the courts of the State of Connecticut, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
17. Waiver and Severability
Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of that or any other provision. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
This Agreement and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site, and supersede all prior understandings regarding that subject matter. This Agreement does not govern any Consulting Services or Client Application engagement, which is instead governed exclusively by the applicable Services Agreement.
