Terms of service

Written in plain language on purpose. If you want a clause explained, ask, and you will get a straight answer in writing.

1. Who you are dealing with

Sudobid ("Sudobid," "we," "us") is the AI operations consulting practice of Lupo Rosso LLC, a Texas limited liability company operating under its registered assumed name Sudobid, with its registered office in Austin, Texas. These terms are a binding agreement between you and Lupo Rosso LLC. They cover your use of sudobid.com and every service you buy from Sudobid. If a signed engagement letter or statement of work says something different from these terms, the signed document wins for that engagement.

2. The services

Sudobid provides AI operations consulting: written assessments, workflow audits, implementation sprints, and ongoing operating-partner work. What each service includes and what it costs is published on the services page. Custom or larger engagements are scoped and agreed in writing before work starts, including deliverables, timeline, and price.

3. Scope and changes

An engagement covers what its written scope says and nothing more. If you want something outside the scope, we agree on it in writing, including any change to price or timeline, before the extra work starts. Neither of us can expand the scope by assumption.

4. Assessments and reports are advice

Assessments, audits, and reports are professional recommendations based on the information you provide. You make the decisions and own the outcomes of implementing them. Nothing from Sudobid is legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and no output should be treated as a substitute for advice from a licensed professional in those fields. Estimates such as hours-saved math are estimates; the assumptions behind them are shown so you can check the arithmetic, but they are not guarantees of results.

5. Fees, payment, and taxes

Prices are on the services page. Scoped work is priced in writing before it starts and does not change without your written agreement. Invoices are due on the terms stated in the engagement; if no terms are stated, they are due on receipt. If an invoice is more than 15 days late, work may pause until the account is current, and the schedule moves accordingly. Fees do not include sales or similar taxes; where tax applies, it is added to the invoice and you pay it. Monthly operating-partner work is billed in advance, month to month; either of us can end it with written notice, effective at the end of the paid period, with no refunds or proration for a partially used month.

6. Your side of the engagement

You agree to provide accurate information, reasonable access to the people and systems the work requires, and timely feedback; delays on your side move the schedule. You confirm you have the right to share the data and systems you give Sudobid access to. You agree to use anything built or recommended in compliance with the law and with the terms of the third-party tools involved, and you are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your systems and data.

7. Ownership and intellectual property

Deliverables are yours once the engagement is paid in full: the systems, prompts, documentation, and reports built for you. Until payment clears, they are Sudobid's. Pre-existing tools, templates, frameworks, and methods that Sudobid brings to the engagement remain Sudobid's, and you get a perpetual, non-exclusive license to keep using them as embedded in your deliverables. General know-how and experience gained from the work may be reused for other clients, but never your confidential information. Deliverables may include third-party and open-source components; those stay under their own licenses, which are identified in the deliverable when they apply. The content of sudobid.com itself is Sudobid's and may not be republished commercially without written permission.

8. Confidentiality

Confidentiality runs both ways. Each side keeps the other's non-public business information confidential, uses it only for the engagement, and protects it with reasonable care. This does not cover information that is public, already known, independently developed, or legally required to be disclosed; if the law compels disclosure, the compelled side gives the other notice where legally permitted. Sudobid does not name you publicly, in case studies or anywhere else, without your written OK. Anonymized patterns (the kind of problem, not whose problem) may inform content and future work. This obligation survives the end of the engagement for three years; obligations for trade secrets last as long as the law protects them.

9. AI in the work

Sudobid's work product is drafted with AI systems and reviewed by a human before it reaches you. That is the methodology being sold, and it is disclosed rather than hidden. Where your materials are processed with AI providers, they are handled under those providers' business terms; if your data carries special handling requirements (regulated data, contractual restrictions), tell us before the engagement starts so the tooling can be matched to them, or excluded from AI processing entirely.

10. Third-party tools and services

Recommendations and deliverables often involve third-party products: model providers, SaaS tools, hosting. Those are governed by their own terms and prices, which their vendors change without notice. Sudobid does not control them, does not warrant them, and is not responsible for their availability, their pricing changes, or what they do with data you send them under your own accounts.

11. Warranties and disclaimers

Sudobid warrants that services are performed with reasonable professional skill and care. Beyond that, services and deliverables are provided as-is. No specific business outcome, cost saving, or revenue result is promised, and any statutory warranties that can be lawfully disclaimed are disclaimed. If a deliverable materially fails to match its written scope, tell us within 30 days of delivery and Sudobid will re-perform the deficient work; that is the remedy for defective work.

12. Limits on liability

Sudobid's total liability for any engagement is capped at the fees you actually paid for that engagement (for month-to-month work, the fees paid in the three months before the claim arose). Sudobid is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data. These limits do not apply to a breach of Section 8, to willful misconduct, or to liability that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Indemnity

You cover claims against Sudobid that arise from your data, your use of the deliverables in violation of law or third-party terms, or instructions you gave over Sudobid's written objection. Sudobid covers claims that its pre-existing materials, as delivered, infringe someone else's intellectual property, provided you did not modify them or combine them with other material in a way that caused the claim.

14. Ending an engagement

Either of us can end an engagement with written notice. You pay for work completed up to that point, and you receive everything completed and paid for. Sections on ownership, confidentiality, warranties, liability, indemnity, and disputes survive the end of any engagement.

15. Things outside anyone's control

Neither side is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control: outages of third-party platforms, natural disasters, war, government action, or similar. The affected side communicates promptly and the schedule adjusts.

16. Relationship, assignment, and notices

Sudobid is an independent contractor, not your employee, partner, or agent. Neither side may assign an engagement without the other's written consent, except Sudobid may assign to a successor of substantially all of its business. Formal notices go by email: to Sudobid at hello@sudobid.com, and to you at the address on your engagement.

17. Disputes

Talk to us first; most problems are fixable in one honest email, and both sides agree to try good-faith resolution for 30 days before filing anything. Failing that, these terms are governed by Texas law, and disputes belong in the state or federal courts of Travis County, Texas. Each side bears its own attorneys' fees unless a statute says otherwise.

18. The fine print that keeps the rest working

These terms plus your written engagement are the entire agreement and replace prior discussions on the same subject. If one clause is found unenforceable, the rest still stand. Not enforcing a clause once is not a waiver of it. Electronic signatures and PDF copies count as originals.

19. Changes

If these terms change, this page changes, with a new effective date at the top. Material changes to an active engagement never apply retroactively without your agreement.
