This page is written for your procurement team and your vendor security review, not for the engineer who found the site. Clauses instead of adjectives, and what we cannot claim written on the same page.
The review
If you are buying on behalf of a company that runs a vendor security review, this page is written for you. Together with what we cannot claim today, written on the same page.
The intent is simple: what is built for you is yours, and we do not reuse it. But Jordan is not a US state, and Jordanian copyright law does not recognise US-style work-for-hire: a blanket assignment of future works is of uncertain effect, and an author's moral rights cannot be signed away. So we transfer ownership through a written assignment per deliverable, not one broad clause at the start of the contract.
The default: your repositories, cloud accounts and tooling stay under your control, and the engineer gets least-privilege access through your own accounts. We do not host your code.
The engineer is a Folowise employee in Jordan on a formal contract with social security, not a loose contractor. You contract with one entity, receive one invoice, and carry no worker-classification exposure in Jordan.
The clauses
Every competitor in this market answers these fears with adjectives: reliable, committed, transparent. An adjective binds nobody. A clause does.
The people you interviewed are written into the service agreement by name. Not "a senior backend engineer", their name.
The only exception is the engineer resigning, and then you approve the replacement the same way you approved the first: an interview, and the right to say no without explaining.
Your engineer is on your team full time. Not shared, not pooled, not "allocated at a percentage". If you need part of a seat, we sell you part of a seat and it says so on the invoice.
Your Slack, your standup, your calendar. There is no account manager between you and the person writing the code. We show up when you need us, not as a permanent gate.
One Folowise engineer signed off on this recommendation, you know who they are, and you can ask them why. The accountability has a name.
You can end the engagement on a month's notice, and so can we. Nobody is trapped. Long contracts you cannot exit serve the vendor and nobody else.
30 days
The mismatch window. If the engineer is not right within the first month, we replace them at no additional fee and with no notice period charged to you.
10 working days
Our commitment to a replacement shortlist if an engineer leaves. The search is at our cost, and we do not bill you for an empty seat.
Zero
Replacement fees, and conversion fees if you decide to hire the engineer into your own company after 12 months. No fees hidden in the terms of use.
What we do not promise: that every engineer will fit, that a replacement arrives just as fast for a rare role, or that we can guarantee the performance of somebody you have not met. Impossible guarantees are written to be broken, and we would rather write down what we actually do.
FAQ
You do, and the mechanism is worth a minute because it is not what you expect. Jordanian copyright law does not adopt US work-for-hire: commissioned work vests in its author by default, a blanket assignment of future works is of uncertain effect, and moral rights cannot be assigned away. So we transfer ownership through a written assignment per deliverable instead of one broad clause. The practical outcome for you is the same, but the route is different, and we would rather you heard it from your own counsel before signing than after a dispute. The open source policy is agreed in writing before work begins, and we do not put a copyleft-licensed library into your product without your approval.
We start the replacement search immediately at our cost, and we do not bill you for an empty seat. We commit to a replacement shortlist within 10 working days, and to covering knowledge transfer from the departing engineer during their notice period. What we cannot commit to is that a replacement arrives just as fast for a rare role. We will tell you the truth on day one, not in week four.
Within the first 30 days: tell us, and we replace at no additional fee and with no notice period charged to you. After that, a standard 30 day notice applies. We ask one thing in return: tell us in week two if it feels wrong, not in month three. Most mismatches are fixable when raised early.
A fixed monthly price per seat for the hours you committed to, from the same published price book. Invoiced at the start of the month on 15 day terms. The price includes salary, employer costs, equipment and operational support. Annual leave, Jordanian public holidays and sick leave are inside the price: nothing is deducted and nothing is added. Capacity changes on one month's notice; sustained overtime is not included, and we usually refuse it because it burns the engineer out within two months.
Next step
Not the headcount. Tell us the product, the date, and what team you have today, and we will propose the shape. If we think what you need is not more engineers, we will say so on the first call.
