Terms of service

These terms apply to all Corveria services: building, running and advising. Each project additionally gets a written quote with scope, price and timeline, and where relevant a separate contract. If provisions conflict, the quote or contract prevails over these terms.

An agreement is formed when the client accepts a quote within its validity period, or when work begins at the client’s request.

Prices follow each project’s quote and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise. Invoices are due on their issue date, with a final due date 20 days later. After the final due date, penalty interest accrues under Chapter III of the Icelandic Interest Act no. 38/2001. Objections to an invoice must be raised before its final due date.

Prices for ongoing operations service may be adjusted with 30 days’ written notice, among other reasons for changes in input costs denominated in foreign currency, such as hosting and AI services.

Each project’s quote states which of two models governs ownership of the delivered work:

• Purchase: The client acquires full ownership of the delivered work upon full payment.
• Operations partnership: Corveria owns and runs the work. The client holds a right of use for the contract term and can acquire the work when the partnership ends, as agreed in the contract.

If nothing is stated, the first model applies: ownership transfers upon full payment.

In all cases Corveria retains its general tools, code libraries and methods that are not built specifically for the client. Material the client contributes remains the client’s property. Corveria may show the work in its portfolio, including screenshots and a link, unless otherwise agreed.

New builds come with a support period per the quote, generally 30 to 60 days from launch, during which defects attributable to the build are fixed free of charge. Defects must be reported without undue delay. After the support period, fixes and further development fall under an operations contract or are billed as separate work.

Operations service under a contract covers hosting, monitoring, security updates, backups and continued development, per the contract’s scope. Corveria works to keep systems available and responds to failures on business days. A commitment to specific uptime or response times (SLA) applies only where agreed in writing.

The notice period for an operations contract is three months, effective at the end of a calendar month, unless otherwise agreed.

The client provides the information and access needed to do the work. The client warrants that material they contribute does not violate the law or third-party rights, and that required licenses exist for software and material they own.

Liability for Corveria’s services is limited to direct damages. Corveria is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including loss of business, lost data, loss of profit or goodwill, or the client’s breach of contract toward a third party.

Corveria’s total liability in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount the client paid for the service in question in the preceding twelve months. Claims may not be raised once more than two years have passed since the event they are based on. Mandatory consumer rights under law always remain in force.

Neither party is liable for non-performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, strikes, cyberattacks and widespread outages at hosting, telecom or AI providers. If such events last more than 30 consecutive days, either party may terminate the contract without further obligations.

If an invoice is unpaid after its final due date, Corveria sends a written reminder. If it remains unpaid 30 days after the final due date, Corveria may — after written warning — temporarily suspend service, including hosting. The client’s data remains available for export throughout. Data hosted by Corveria is not deleted earlier than six months after service stops, and only after written notice.

The parties keep confidential the information they receive about each other’s operations, business and systems in connection with the engagement. The duty of confidentiality survives the end of the contract.

Where Corveria processes personal data on a client’s behalf — for example in operations service — the client is the controller and Corveria the processor, and a data processing agreement is made. Corveria’s own processing as controller is described in its privacy policy.

At the end of a contract, the client receives their data — and, per the ownership model in A.3, their code — in a common machine-readable format at no extra charge. More extensive assistance with migrating to another provider is billed as separate work. Access to Corveria’s systems closes when the contract ends.

The chat on this site is Anna, an AI assistant. Her replies are generated by language models and are probabilistic: they can be wrong, incomplete or outdated, and they are neither advice nor a commitment on Corveria’s behalf. A written quote or contract always prevails over a chat reply.

Misusing the contact form or the chat is prohibited — for example spam, high-volume automated requests, or attempts to disrupt the operation of the site.

Corveria may change these terms and announces changes with at least 30 days’ notice on corveria.com. Changes do not apply retroactively to quotes that have already been accepted.

These terms and Corveria’s services are governed by Icelandic law. Disputes that cannot be resolved in conversation are brought before the Reykjavík District Court (Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur). Consumers may also refer disputes to the Icelandic Consumer Appeals Committee (Kærunefnd vöru- og þjónustukaupa).
