1. What this site is
cardinalstacks.com is the marketing surface for Cardinal Stacks, a custom software studio headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with delivery teams operating across the US. The four engagement tiers described here (Prototype Sprint, Vibe Rescue, Signature Site, Flagship Build) and the three retainer tiers (Foundation, Accelerator, Apex) are offered as written quotes after a prospect emails us. Prices and turnaround windows shown on the site are current as of the date next to each tier.
2. Quotes are written
Pricing and timeline shown on the site are not binding contracts. A binding engagement begins only when (a) you receive a written intake from us, (b) you accept it in writing, and (c) the first invoice is paid or the engagement contract is signed, whichever the engagement type requires. Until then, nothing is owed in either direction.
3. Free audits
If you send us a project and we decide not to take the engagement, the written audit we produce is free to keep and use. We don't charge for it. You may share it with a co-founder, advisor, or another agency. We just ask you don't edit it and pass it off as theirs.
4. Intellectual property on the marketing site
Content on this site, including copy, layout, the Cardinal mark, and the proprietary tool names (Pulse, Triage, Redactor, Worktree, Bug Catcher), is owned by Cardinal Stacks. Quoting or linking is welcome. Reproducing the site wholesale or substantially is not.
5. Acceptable use
No automated scraping that imposes load on the site, no abuse of the Bug Catcher channel, no submitting projects you don't own, no impersonation. If you're a researcher or auditor with a legitimate reason to crawl, email us first and we'll work with you.
6. Bug Catcher reports
The Bug Catcher widget on this site captures a screenshot and your annotation when you press the button. By submitting a report, you grant Cardinal Stacks permission to view, store, and act on that report to fix issues. See the privacy policy for retention and deletion.
7. No warranty on the marketing site
The marketing site is provided as-is. We aim for high uptime and accuracy but make no warranty that every link, every quote, or every example will be current at the moment you visit. If you spot something wrong, the Bug Catcher widget is the fastest way to tell us.
8. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Colorado law, our liability arising from your use of cardinalstacks.com (as distinct from any signed engagement contract) is limited to the greater of (a) $100 or (b) the amount you have paid us through this site, which for the marketing site specifically is $0.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Arapahoe County, Colorado.
10. Changes
When this page changes, the "Last updated" date at the top changes with it. We don't silently revise.
