Trust & delivery standards
Everything you can hold us to, in one place.
The company behind shipinhours.com, how your product is built and protected, how you verify the work without ever opening your systems to anyone, what you own, and the warranty, payment and VAT terms. This page says it in plain language; the binding wording is in the terms of service.
The company
An EU company with a public register entry.
Every engagement is a written contract with AIPOS OÜ. The registry code and VAT number can be checked in the Estonian e-Business Register and the EU VIES system before you sign anything.
AIPOS OÜ
16966532
EE103006613
Pargi tn 1, Kabala küla, Türi vald, 72001 Järva maakond, Estonia
Estonia, European Union. Contracts under Estonian law; the GDPR applies.
Businesses only (B2B). Remote only, worldwide. All communication in writing.
Personal data under EU law
AIPOS OÜ is an EU controller. We process the minimum personal data a project needs, as described in the privacy policy; the website sets no cookies and uses no trackers. Which AI model providers process project material, under which terms, is set out in the contract.
Written, signed, under Estonian law
Scope, price, acceptance criteria, warranty and payment are written down before work starts. Estonian companies sign with qualified electronic signatures, which have the legal effect of a handwritten signature across the EU under the eIDAS Regulation; you may sign in the form your counsel prefers.
Named in the contract
No subcontractors, outsourcing partners or freelancers take part in development. The third-party services involved are the commercial AI model providers and the hosting we control; both are named in the contract. Form notifications are delivered through a transactional e-mail service in its EU region.
Security
Your code never shares a room with anyone else's, and your systems are never part of ours.
Autonomy is acceptable only inside a sealed environment. These are the boundaries every project runs inside, the same for every client.
Disposable environment per project
Each project runs in its own environment inside AIPOS OÜ's infrastructure: isolated containers and a locked-down network, discarded when the project ends. The control environment is kept separate from the build environment.
No connection to your systems
AIPOS OÜ never requests credentials for, or connects to, your code hosting, servers, cloud accounts or development environment. Existing code you want built on reaches us as a file package you send, and it is treated as untrusted input behind several independent protective layers.
Scanned and independently reviewed
Every delivery is scanned, then checked by an independent review agent before it reaches you. You receive tested packages only.
Code and IP go to you
The platform and methodology stay with AIPOS OÜ. The work runs through leading commercial AI models under business terms and on hosting we control; the providers and terms are set out in the contract.
Code quality standard
What every delivery has passed, and what it contains.
Speed is only useful if the result holds. Every change goes through the same gates before it reaches a delivery, and every delivery is complete enough for a team that has never spoken to us to take over.
Tests and independent review
Every change passes the automated test suite and an independent review agent before it is merged.
Documentation, tests, history
You receive the documentation, the tests and the complete git history of your product's code.
No dependency on our tools
Code and intellectual property transfer to you without any dependency on AIPOS OÜ's tooling: the product builds, tests and runs from the delivered package with publicly available tools.
30 days of free fixes
Defects found within 30 days of hand-over are fixed free of charge, within the written scope description.
How you verify the work
Your systems stay untouched. Your product arrives tested.
All development happens in AIPOS OÜ's own secure environment. We never connect to your code hosting, servers, cloud accounts or development environment, so no outside party enters your systems and your supplier and security risk stays small. You receive tested code as a clean package, not half-finished changes in your main branch, and you follow progress every day without watching any technical tools.
Specification first
A written specification with measurable acceptance criteria, prepared by AIPOS OÜ and confirmed by you before development starts.
A written report every day
By e-mail: what was done, which tests passed, where the work stands against the criteria, the next step, and whether anything needs your answer.
Preview at every milestone
A password-protected preview link where you try your product working, at every milestone.
Code you can audit
At every milestone, a test report and the product's code at that point as a file package: run it yourself or have an independent developer audit it. The complete code follows final payment.
Written acceptance
You accept in writing against the agreed criteria. 50% is paid on scope confirmation and 50% only after acceptance; then 30 days of free defect fixing within the written scope. All communication is by e-mail.
Ownership
Your product is yours. Our system stays ours.
You receive the code of the software we build for you. AIPOS OÜ's proprietary delivery system — our tools, agents, internal code and methods — is never shared, shown or licensed. Pre-existing AIPOS OÜ components included in your product are licensed to you perpetually for use in that product.
30 days of free defect fixing after hand-over
A defect is behaviour of the delivered product that deviates from the written scope description and its acceptance criteria. Report it in writing within 30 days of hand-over; it is fixed free of charge in AIPOS OÜ's environment and delivered as an updated package. New requirements are scoped and priced separately, in writing, before they are built.
50% on scope confirmation, 50% after acceptance
Trial build: 9,900 euros fixed (excl. VAT); the first three clients pay 4,900 euros (excl. VAT) in exchange for a public reference. Main project: one fixed price quoted in writing after the trial, with the trial price deducted in full. In both cases 50% is paid on your written scope confirmation and 50% only after your written acceptance against the agreed criteria. The complete code is handed over after final payment. No hourly billing, ever.

Questions
Questions buyers ask before signing.
Is AIPOS OÜ a registered company?
Yes. AIPOS OÜ is a private limited company (osaühing) registered in Estonia, a member state of the European Union, with registry code 16966532 and VAT number EE103006613. The registered address is Pargi tn 1, Kabala küla, Türi vald, 72001 Järva maakond, Estonia. We work with businesses only.
Do you need any connection to our systems?
No. All development happens in AIPOS OÜ's own secure environment. We never connect to your code hosting, servers, cloud accounts or development environment. Existing code you want built on reaches us as a file package you send, and your product comes back to you as tested packages. Nothing of yours is connected to the work.
How do we know the work is progressing if we cannot see your environment?
You receive a written progress report by e-mail every day, a password-protected preview link at every milestone where you try the product working, and a test report with the product's code as a file package at every milestone, which you can run yourself or have audited by an independent developer. Acceptance is in writing against the criteria you confirmed before development started.
What does the 30-day warranty cover?
Any behaviour of the delivered product that deviates from the written scope description and its acceptance criteria, reported in writing within 30 days of hand-over, is fixed free of charge. The fix is built in AIPOS OÜ's environment and delivered as an updated package. New requirements are scoped and priced separately.
When do we pay?
50% on your written confirmation of the scope, 50% only after your written acceptance against the agreed acceptance criteria. This applies to the trial build (9,900 euros, excl. VAT) and to the main project. The complete code is handed over after final payment. There is no hourly billing.
Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do. Ownership of the code written for your product transfers to you on full payment, together with the documentation, the tests and the complete git history, and with no dependency on AIPOS OÜ's tools. AIPOS OÜ's delivery system, tools, agents, internal code and methods stay with AIPOS OÜ; pre-existing AIPOS OÜ components included in your product are licensed to you perpetually for use in that product.
Will VAT be added to my invoice?
Prices are shown excluding VAT. AIPOS OÜ is VAT-registered in Estonia (EE103006613). Estonian businesses pay Estonian VAT at 24%. EU businesses with a valid VAT number pay no Estonian VAT: reverse charge applies and you account for VAT in your own country. EU businesses without a valid VAT number pay Estonian VAT at 24%. Businesses outside the EU pay no Estonian VAT. VAT is determined at invoicing, separately for each payment.
