Legal

This page does two jobs.

• Website terms — the rules for using this site.
• How we contract — a plain-language summary of the deal, so you know what you are signing up for before the first call, not after the first invoice.

The summary is not the contract. Every engagement runs on a signed Master Services Agreement (MSA) plus a Statement of Work (SOW) for each engineer. Where those documents differ from this page, the signed documents win.

Nothing here is legal, tax or accounting advice. It describes our terms, not how they land in your jurisdiction. Get your own advice on that.

We are an engineer-run staff augmentation firm. We source, vet and place software engineers — primarily in Latin America, selectively in India — with US companies.

Every candidate is interviewed in a live working session by one of our two founders before you ever see them. You get that write-up, including what the candidate got wrong.

We state this openly rather than burying it, because the structure decides who is responsible for what.

Relationship

Engineers are independent contractors of Stackk. They are not our employees, and they are not your employees.

Not included

No payroll, no statutory benefits, no severance, no employer social-security contribution — from us or from you.

Engineer's obligations

Each engineer signs a written services agreement with us and invoices us per period. Their own income tax, social security or pension enrolment, health cover, invoicing compliance and local registrations stay theirs, and that is written into the agreement.

Your side

One counterparty, one US contract, one US invoice.

One exception

Engineers based in Peru may be employed directly by us, because we are resident there. That changes nothing in your contract or your invoice.

• Give the engineer the access, context and review they need to do the work.
• Direct what needs doing and by when. Do not impose fixed clock-in hours, attendance tracking, time-off approval, disciplinary process or performance-improvement plans. Performance issues come to us as a contract matter — cure, replace or terminate.
• Do not engage or pay the engineer directly during the engagement or for 12 months after it ends, except through the conversion route in section 05.
• Tell us if the work requires US-person clearance, export-controlled access or a regulated environment we have not discussed. We do not staff defense, government-clearance or similar work.

One all-inclusive rate. Each engineer is quoted at a single hourly rate in USD, confirmed once the role, seniority and stack are defined. It covers the engineer, our fee and the founder oversight in section 06. No separate placement fee, no platform charge, no per-seat surcharge.

Deposit

New clients pay a deposit equal to two weeks of the engagement before start. It is credited against the final invoice.

Invoicing

Monthly, due net 15 unless your SOW says otherwise. Late amounts accrue 1% per month. We may pause a placement on written notice if an invoice is more than 15 days overdue.

Rate changes

Rates are fixed for the term of the SOW. Changes apply to renewals only, with 30 days' written notice.

Taxes

Fees are exclusive of any sales, use or similar taxes.

These are contractual, not marketing.

Founder Gate

Every candidate we present has been interviewed live by a founder who has held that role. You receive the written vetting summary, including what the candidate got wrong.

30-day cancellation

In the first 30 days of a placement you can cancel without notice. You pay for time worked through the end date and nothing after it.

Replacement in 10 business days

If a placement is not working at any point, we present a vetted replacement within 10 business days of your written notice and cover the transition. It is not billed as a new placement.

Biweekly digest

A founder reads the actual diffs every two weeks and sends you a one-page report on the work. Included in the rate.

No exclusivity

Keep your internal recruiters, your agencies and every other channel running. We never ask for the search.

The replacement commitment covers presenting a qualified candidate. It does not guarantee a start date, because that depends on your acceptance and the candidate’s availability.

Every engineer signs an agreement that presently assigns to us all economic rights in the work produced for you, with a work-made-for-hire designation as a fallback where it is recognised, and a waiver of moral rights to the fullest extent local law permits. Moral rights cannot be fully waived in most of Latin America, which is why the economic rights are assigned expressly rather than assumed.

Our MSA then assigns those rights to you on payment of the relevant invoice. If an invoice goes unpaid, the assignment for that period does not take effect until it is settled.

Engineers also attest that they will not subcontract, use a proxy, or substitute another person for themselves.

Pre-existing tools, libraries and templates we or the engineer owned before the engagement stay ours, licensed to you for use in the deliverable.

Mutual. Each side protects the other’s non-public information, uses it only for the engagement, and returns or destroys it on request. Every engineer carries the same obligation in their services agreement.

It survives termination by three years, and indefinitely for trade secrets. What we do with personal data is set out in our privacy policy.

We warrant

That we perform with reasonable skill and care, that our engineers have been vetted as described, and that we hold the contract and IP chain described above.

We do not warrant

Any particular business outcome, or that a tax authority, labour authority or court in any jurisdiction will treat a relationship a particular way.

Our indemnity

Third-party claims that the work product infringes IP rights, and breach of confidentiality by us or our contractors. Capped at the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Not indemnified

Reclassification, tax or employment claims brought in a country where neither we nor you employ the person.

Liability cap

Neither side is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost profits. Total liability on each side is capped at fees paid in the preceding 12 months, except for breach of confidentiality, the IP indemnity, and unpaid fees.

Each SOW runs for a defined term and renews only by agreement — it does not roll silently.

In the first 30 days of a placement you may cancel without notice, as set out in section 06. After that, either side may terminate a SOW on 14 days’ written notice, or immediately for material breach that is not cured within 10 days. You pay for work performed through the termination date. The MSA continues until either side ends it in writing.

We send business-to-business email to companies showing an active hiring need. Every message identifies us, comes from a named founder, and carries a working opt-out. Ask once and you are off the list permanently.

What we collect for that, where it comes from and how long we keep it is in our privacy policy.

These terms and any MSA are governed by the laws of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to the state and federal courts serving Sheridan County, Wyoming, and both sides consent to that venue.

Before either side files, both agree to one good-faith call.

We update this page when our terms change, and move the “last updated” date. Material changes to the service terms apply to new SOWs, not to ones already running.

Want the actual documents? Ask for the MSA, a sample SOW, the engineer services agreement or a signed Data Processing Agreement at legal@wepair.works and we send them before you commit to anything. General enquiries go to hello@wepair.works.
