Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

1. The service

Software Evolution Service (SES) provides weekly AI-assisted software improvement as a subscription. Each engagement begins with a free baseline audit. Paid plans commence upon written agreement and payment of the first month.

2. What we deliver

Each week we deliver: a Health Score scan across four pillars (Performance, Security, Reliability, Code Health), a prioritized list of regressions, AI-generated pull requests with evidence attached, and a written changelog. Delivery cadence is weekly. SLA for PR delivery is 5 business days per cycle.

3. What we need from you

Access to your code repository (read/write for PRs), a staging environment for verification, and a designated reviewer with merge authority. We do not require production access beyond your product URL.

4. Payment

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. All prices are in USD. No refunds are issued for partial months. Subscriptions may be cancelled with 30 days written notice to hi@softwareevolutionservice.com.

5. Intellectual property

All code delivered via pull requests becomes your property upon merge. We retain no rights to your codebase or derived works. Our methodology, Health Score algorithm, and tooling remain proprietary to SES.

6. Limitation of liability

SES is not liable for incidents, data loss, or downtime arising from merged pull requests. All PRs are reviewed and approved by your designated reviewer before production deployment — merge authority rests with your team, not ours.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes shall be resolved by mutual agreement before any formal proceedings.
