Legal
Terms of service
The terms for using matusmikco.com and for the services provided through it.
1. Introduction
The operator is Nydrok LLC, EIN 36-5152970, registered at 1209 Mountain Rd PL NE 5888, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA, operating the Matúš Mikčo brand and the matusmikco.com website. Represented by Matúš Mikčo. Contact: hello@matusmikco.com, +1 505 348 6365.
These terms apply to every service provided through matusmikco.com unless an individual contract says otherwise.
2. What the services are
I design, build and deploy custom AI systems and automations, integrate them with the tools a company already uses, and provide consulting and team training.
I work as one person, not an agency. You deal directly with whoever builds the thing. If part of the work needs another specialist, I tell you before it happens.
The exact scope, deliverables, deadlines and price are always set out in an individual proposal or contract.
3. Orders and formation of contract
A contract is formed when both parties confirm the proposal, or when the service begins. The initial thirty-minute consultation is free, non-binding and does not create a contractual relationship.
4. Prices and payment
Prices are set individually according to scope and stated in the proposal. I use three models: a fixed price for a defined scope, an hourly rate for ongoing work, or a monthly fee for a long-term arrangement.
I invoice in the currency of your market: euro, Czech koruna or US dollar. The price in the proposal is the price on the invoice; I carry the exchange-rate risk.
Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are due within 14 days of issue. On larger projects a deposit before work starts is normal.
Third-party costs needed to run the solution (model API fees, hosting, licences and the like) are borne by the client and are always itemised separately in the proposal.
5. Cooperation and access
The client provides the materials and access needed to do the work. If you hand me credentials, API keys or access to production systems, I undertake to use them solely for the agreed purpose, to keep them in an encrypted password manager, and to remove them on your request once the work ends.
I recommend creating separate credentials with the least privilege required rather than sharing main administrator accounts.
6. Handover and rights to the work
Once the price is paid in full, the client receives the right to use the delivered work without limit of time or territory, including the right to modify it further.
I reserve the right to keep using general knowledge, methods and components that are not tied to your data or your trade secrets.
The handover includes documentation sufficient to run the solution without any further involvement from me.
7. The nature of AI output
Solutions built on language models are probabilistic. Output can be inaccurate or incomplete even when everything is configured correctly. For processes with legal, financial or medical consequences I therefore design in human review, and I say so in advance.
I am not liable for damage caused by the client using model output without the agreed review step.
Nor am I liable for changes on the model providers' side: a model being retired, prices changing, an API changing, or rate limits. If that happens, we agree on adapting the solution as separate work.
8. Confidentiality
Both parties undertake to keep confidential information obtained during the work confidential and to protect it from disclosure to third parties. This obligation survives the end of the engagement.
I publish a reference about our work together only with your prior consent.
9. Liability
I am liable for damage caused by breaching my obligations to the extent set by applicable law. Liability for indirect damage and lost profit is excluded to the maximum extent the law allows. Total damages are capped at the amount actually paid for the service in which the damage occurred.
10. Using the website and your account
An account on the site gives access to content. You are responsible for keeping your password secret. You can close the account at any time by writing to hello@matusmikco.com.
The content of the site, including articles and recordings, is protected by the operator's copyright. Short quotations with a credit and a link are fine; reproducing whole articles is not.
11. Disputes
The parties will first try to resolve any dispute by agreement. Matters not covered by these terms are governed by the law of the Slovak Republic where the client is in the EU, and otherwise by the law of the State of New Mexico, USA.
If you are a consumer in the EU, you may use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
12. Final provisions
I may update these terms. The current version is always at this address. Contracts already concluded are governed by the version in force when they were concluded. Last updated: júl 2026.
