Terms of Service
Effective date: September 5, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the Wild.Codes website, talent-matching platform, and related services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by Wild Web Art OÜ (“Wild.Codes,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the Service, requesting a match, or entering into an engagement through Wild.Codes, you agree to these Terms.
1. The Service
Wild.Codes helps businesses identify, evaluate, engage, and administer independent software professionals and technical teams. We provide sourcing, vetting, matching, contracting, payment, and engagement-support services as described in the applicable proposal, order form, statement of work, or other written agreement (an “Order Form”). Unless an Order Form expressly states otherwise, developers are independent professionals and are not employees of the customer.
2. Accounts and eligibility
You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement and must provide accurate, current information. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access credentials confidential. You may use the Service only for lawful business purposes and in compliance with applicable employment, tax, sanctions, export-control, anti-bribery, privacy, and intellectual-property laws.
3. Matching and engagement
You are responsible for giving us a complete role brief, including required skills, seniority, working hours, location constraints, budget, and anticipated start date. Candidate profiles and availability may change. You decide whom to interview and engage and remain responsible for supervising work, accepting deliverables, maintaining a safe and lawful workplace, and providing the access and information needed to perform the engagement.
Service targets and remedies are described on our Service Guarantees and SLA page. An Order Form may add to or replace those general service levels.
4. Fees, invoices, and taxes
Fees, rates, billing periods, and payment dates are set out in the applicable Order Form. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are payable in the currency and by the date shown on the invoice. Customers are responsible for applicable sales, use, withholding, value-added, and similar taxes, excluding taxes based on our net income. Overdue undisputed amounts may cause suspension of the affected Service after reasonable notice.
5. Trial period
When offered in the Order Form, an engagement begins with a paid one-week trial. The customer may end the trial if the developer is not a fit and may request a replacement at no additional sourcing or replacement fee. Approved time worked during the trial remains payable. A trial is not free unless the Order Form expressly says so.
6. Cancellation and refunds
You may cancel an engagement by giving the notice required by its Order Form. If no notice period is stated, contact us at [email protected] and we will confirm the earliest practical end date. Cancellation stops future work after the effective end date but does not cancel fees for work already performed, committed notice periods, approved expenses, or other accrued amounts.
Except where an Order Form or mandatory law provides otherwise, fees for completed work, elapsed subscription periods, and started billing periods are non-refundable. If we charge you in error or fail to provide a paid Service, notify us within 14 days of the invoice with enough information to investigate. When a refund is due, we may issue it to the original payment method or apply a credit, as agreed with you. The replacement remedy described in the Service Guarantees and SLA is not a refund of time already worked.
7. Customer materials and intellectual property
You retain ownership of materials you provide and grant us the limited rights needed to operate the Service and support the engagement. Ownership and licensing of work product created by a developer are governed by the applicable Order Form and developer agreement. Unless an Order Form states otherwise, rights in paid-for deliverables transfer only after the related invoice is paid in full. Wild.Codes retains its pre-existing software, processes, templates, know-how, trademarks, and platform technology.
8. Confidentiality and data protection
Each party will protect the other party’s confidential information using reasonable care and use it only to perform or receive the Service. These duties do not apply to information that is public through no breach, already lawfully known, independently developed, or lawfully received from another source. Required disclosures may be made to the extent legally necessary after notice where permitted. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
9. Acceptable use
You must not misuse the Service, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape or resell non-public platform data, evade fees, misrepresent an identity or role, or use candidate information for an unrelated purpose. You must not ask a developer to perform unlawful, infringing, deceptive, discriminatory, or harmful work.
10. Third-party services
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party products. Those products are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services outside our control. We may use qualified service providers to deliver parts of the Service while remaining responsible for our obligations under these Terms.
11. Warranties and disclaimers
We will provide the Service with reasonable care and skill. Except for express commitments in an Order Form or our Service Guarantees and SLA, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that a candidate will be hired, that an engagement will achieve a particular business result, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
12. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data. Unless an Order Form states otherwise, each party’s aggregate liability arising from the Service will not exceed the fees paid or payable to Wild.Codes for the affected Service during the three months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or to fraud, wilful misconduct, breach of confidentiality, or infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property.
13. Suspension and termination
Either party may terminate an Order Form for a material breach that is not cured within a reasonable period after written notice, or immediately where cure is not possible, the other party becomes insolvent, or continued performance would violate law. We may suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, users, or third parties, or for overdue undisputed fees after notice. Terms that by their nature should survive termination—including payment, confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, and dispute provisions—will survive.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, law, or business practices. We will post the revised version and update the effective date. Material changes will apply prospectively, and we will provide additional notice where required by law. Continued use after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
15. Governing law and order of precedence
These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and disputes will be subject to the competent courts of Estonia unless mandatory law requires otherwise. If an Order Form conflicts with these Terms, the Order Form controls for that engagement. If translated, the English version controls to the extent permitted by law.
