6) Services, proposals, and separate agreements
Any services (e.g., Mendix development, architecture, performance optimization, integrations, troubleshooting, coaching) are provided only under:
(a) a written proposal/statement of work (SOW), and/or
(b) a master services agreement (MSA) or contract,

If these Terms conflict with a signed agreement for services, the signed agreement will prevail for that engagement.

Your project may involve third-party products/services (e.g., Mendix platform components, cloud hosting, identity providers, APIs, analytics, email/SMS gateways). We are not responsible for third-party services, including their availability, security, changes, or pricing.
