2. Engineering Services and Statements of Work

Pulse41 provides software engineering, artificial intelligence system integration, cloud infrastructure, and technical consulting. All professional services are governed by formal project agreements:

• Statements of Work: Specific project milestones, deliverables, payment schedules, and team pod allocations are detailed in mutually executed SOWs.

3. Intellectual Property Rights & Work Product

Client ownership and transparent licensing are core principles of our client relationships:

• Client Work Product: Upon full settlement of corresponding invoices, all bespoke source code, UI designs, and database schemas crafted specifically for the Client become the exclusive property of the Client.
• Pulse41 Pre-existing IP: Pulse41 retains ownership of its proprietary foundational frameworks, starter kits, and internal tooling. Clients receive a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to utilize and modify integrated components within their delivered products.
• Open Source Dependencies: Third-party libraries and open-source packages incorporated into solutions remain subject to their respective licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD).

• Neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use or inability to use delivered systems.
• Pulse41's total cumulative liability for any claim arising under an engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client under the specific Statement of Work in the six (6) months preceding the claim.
