Draft notice
These plain-language beta terms describe the current Product Foundry workflow. They remain subject to applicable agreements and should be reviewed by qualified Canadian legal counsel before being treated as final legal terms.
Current commercial models
- • Project Match starts at USD $499 per brief.
- • Fractional Bench starts at USD $799 per month.
- • Managed Search starts at USD $2,500 and may require custom pricing based on scope, urgency, confidentiality, seniority, and complexity.
- • A Success Fee of 10% to 15% of project value may apply where disclosed and agreed.
- • A Full-Time Conversion Fee of 15% to 20% of first-year compensation may apply where disclosed and agreed.
- • Talent Pro is optional; the current beta price is shown on the Pricing page.
When payment becomes due
The applicable Pricing page, checkout, invoice, payment request, order, or contract identifies when a fee is due. Depending on the model, payment may be required before additional matching, custom sourcing, recurring bench access, an approved introduction, contract work, engagement activation, or another paid workflow step.
Talent compensation and expenses
Product Foundry platform and service fees do not include talent compensation, payroll, taxes, benefits, equipment, travel, project expenses, or other engagement costs unless an accepted order or contract expressly includes them.
Stripe, invoices, and payment status
Product Foundry may use Stripe checkout, invoices, payment links, or custom payment requests. A workflow should not be treated as paid solely because a browser returns from checkout. Product Foundry relies on verified payment events and recorded status before paid dependencies advance.
Renewals, cancellation, refunds, and disputes
Recurring services, cancellations, refunds, credits, taxes, late amounts, and payment disputes are governed by the terms shown at checkout or in the applicable invoice, order, subscription, or contract. Users should contact Product Foundry promptly before initiating duplicate payments or charge disputes.
Success and conversion events
Companies must promptly disclose when Product Foundry talent begins a covered engagement or converts to a covered full-time role. The applicable written terms determine the fee basis, timing, exclusions, and any prior fees credited.
No silent price changes
FoundryAI may recommend a service model but cannot change the company's selection, price, checkout, or contract. Product Foundry will not treat a recommendation as acceptance of a paid service.
