1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) and Startir LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Startir,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of our website at startir.ai (the “Site”) and our AI operations consulting services (the “Services”).
By accessing the Site, engaging our Services, or executing a statement of work or engagement agreement that references these Terms, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site or Services.
2. Description of Services
Startir provides AI operations consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses, including but not limited to:
- AI Opportunity Assessments: Evaluation and mapping of business workflows ranked by ROI and feasibility, risk and data classification, implementation roadmaps, and ROI modeling.
- Custom AI Workflow and Agent Development: Design, development, testing, and deployment of AI-powered workflows, automations, voice agents, knowledge systems, and other AI solutions tailored to the Client’s business operations.
- Pilot Builds: Scoped implementations of one or more AI workflows with defined success metrics and before/after measurement.
- Managed AI Operations: Ongoing monitoring, optimization, governance, security updates, and periodic workflow additions under a separate managed service retainer agreement.
The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for each engagement shall be set forth in a mutually agreed-upon Statement of Work (“SOW”) or engagement agreement, which shall be incorporated into and governed by these Terms.
3. Build-and-Deliver Model
3.1 Ownership of Deliverables
Startir operates a build-and-deliver model. Upon full payment and completion of an engagement, the Client shall own the custom AI workflows, agents, and solutions specifically developed for the Client under the applicable SOW (“Deliverables”), subject to the exceptions in Section 3.2. Ownership transfers upon final delivery and payment in full.
3.2 Pre-Existing and Third-Party Materials
Startir retains all rights in its pre-existing intellectual property, proprietary methodologies, frameworks (including the Equation of Agentic Work), templates, reusable code libraries, and general knowledge developed or used in connection with the Services (“Startir IP”). To the extent any Startir IP is incorporated into the Deliverables, Startir grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such Startir IP solely as part of the Deliverables for the Client’s internal business operations.
Deliverables may incorporate third-party software, APIs, platforms, and services (such as but not limited to Make.com, n8n, Vapi.ai, OpenAI, Anthropic, and similar providers). The Client’s use of such third-party components is subject to the respective third-party terms of service and licensing agreements. Startir makes no representations or warranties regarding third-party components.
3.3 Post-Delivery Responsibilities
Upon delivery, the Client assumes full responsibility for:
- All operating costs associated with the delivered solution, including but not limited to API usage fees, token costs, third-party platform subscriptions, and hosting infrastructure.
- Ongoing maintenance, updates, security patches, and operational monitoring of the delivered solution.
- Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in the Client’s use of the delivered solution, including but not limited to HIPAA, state-specific data privacy laws, and industry-specific regulations.
- Managing user access, credentials, API keys, and security configurations for the delivered solution.
Startir shall have no ongoing obligation to host, maintain, support, or update delivered solutions unless a separate managed service agreement is executed between the parties.
4. Engagement Process and Fees
4.1 Statements of Work
Each engagement shall be governed by a separate SOW specifying the scope, deliverables, timeline, milestones, fees, and payment terms. In the event of a conflict between a SOW and these Terms, these Terms shall control unless the SOW explicitly states otherwise.
4.2 Fees and Payment
Fees for Services shall be as set forth in the applicable SOW. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. The Client shall reimburse Startir for reasonable collection costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with overdue amounts.
4.3 Expenses
Unless otherwise agreed in the SOW, each party shall bear its own expenses. If the SOW provides for reimbursement of expenses, the Client shall reimburse Startir for pre-approved, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses within thirty (30) days of receiving supporting documentation.
