This page covers two things.

• Website terms: the rules for using this site.
• Service terms: a plain-language preview of how we work together, so you know the deal before the first call, not after the first invoice.

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

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

We are an engineer-run staff augmentation firm. We find, vet and place software engineers from Latin America with US companies.

A founder interviews every candidate in a live working session before we introduce them. You receive the write-up, including what the candidate got wrong.

We put this upfront because the structure determines who is responsible for what.

Relationship

Most engineers provide services to Stackk as independent contractors. They are not your employees.

Not included

For independent contractors, neither you nor Stackk provides payroll, statutory benefits, severance or employer social security contributions.

Engineer's obligations

Each independent contractor signs a written services agreement with us and invoices us for each period. They remain responsible for their own income tax, social security or pension enrolment, health cover, invoicing compliance and local registrations.

Your side

One counterparty, one US contract, one US invoice.

Peru exception

Engineers based in Peru may be employed directly by us because we are resident there. Your contract and invoice do not change.

• Give the engineer the access, context and feedback needed to do the work.
• Set what needs doing and by when. Do not require fixed clock-in hours, attendance tracking, time-off approval, disciplinary processes or performance-improvement plans. Bring performance issues to us as a contract matter: cure, replace or terminate.
• Do not hire 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 before 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 one hourly rate in USD. We confirm it once the role, seniority and stack are defined. It includes the engineer, our fee and the founder oversight in section 06. No separate placement fee, platform charge or per-seat surcharge.

Deposit

New clients pay a deposit equal to two weeks of the engagement before work starts. We credit it against the final invoice.

Invoicing

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

Rate changes

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

Taxes

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

These are contract commitments, not marketing claims.

Founder vetting

Every candidate we present has completed a live interview with 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 5 business days

If a placement is not working at any point, we present a vetted replacement within 5 business days after written notice and cover the transition. We do not bill it as a new placement.

Engineering digest

A founder reads the actual diffs weekly or every two weeks, a cadence we agree with you based on what your team needs, and sends you a one-page report on the work. Included in the rate.

No exclusivity

Keep your internal recruiters, agencies and every other channel running. We never ask you to give us exclusive control of a 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. It also designates the work as made for hire where recognised and waives moral rights to the fullest extent local law permits. Most of Latin America does not allow moral rights to be fully waived, so the agreement assigns economic rights expressly rather than assuming they transfer.

Our MSA then assigns those rights to you once the relevant invoice is paid. If an invoice is unpaid, the assignment for that period takes effect only after payment.

Engineers also promise not to subcontract, use a proxy or substitute another person for themselves.

Pre-existing tools, libraries and templates owned by us or the engineer remain ours. You receive a licence to use them in the deliverable.

Confidentiality is 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 accepts the same obligation in their services agreement.

These obligations survive termination for three years and indefinitely for trade secrets. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.

We warrant

We will perform with reasonable skill and care, vet engineers as described, and maintain the contract and IP chain described above.

We do not warrant

We do not guarantee a particular business outcome or how a tax authority, labour authority or court in any jurisdiction will classify a relationship.

Our indemnity

Our indemnity covers third-party claims that the work product infringes IP rights, plus breaches of confidentiality by us or our contractors. It is capped at the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Not indemnified

Our indemnity does not cover 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. Each side's total liability is capped at fees paid in the preceding 12 months, except for confidentiality breaches, the IP indemnity and unpaid fees.

Each SOW runs for a defined term and renews only by agreement. It never rolls over 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 with an active hiring need. Every message identifies us, comes from a named founder and includes a working opt-out. Opt out once and you are off the list permanently.

Our privacy policy explains what we collect for outreach, where it comes from and how long we keep it.

Wyoming law governs these terms and every MSA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to the state and federal courts serving Sheridan County, Wyoming. Both sides consent to that venue.

Before filing a claim, both sides agree to one good-faith call.

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

Want the signed documents? Email legal@wepair.works for the MSA, a sample SOW, the engineer services agreement or a signed Data Processing Agreement. We will send them before you commit. General enquiries go to hello@wepair.works.
