Handiwork

Handiwork · Terms

What we agree to, and what we do not.

Short, in plain English, and consistent with everything else we publish. The one rule worth reading twice is that a request is not a booking.

The agreement

You are contracting with Avodas LLC.

Handiwork is a brand of Avodas LLC, a limited liability company in Texas, based in San Antonio, Texas. Work is quoted and invoiced by Avodas LLC. Written notices can be sent to hello@avodas.tech.

These terms cover use of this website and the general shape of our work. The specific job — what is included, what it costs and when it happens — is whatever your written quote or invoice says. Where your quote or invoice states a specific scope, price or date, it takes priority over this page.

The one rule that protects both of us

A request is not a booking.

Nothing on this site is a quote or a confirmed booking. A submitted request is a request: a person reads it and replies. Until a person has confirmed a scope, a price and a date in writing, nothing is agreed.

This applies to software as much as to people. An AI assistant can read our pages and send us a request through our endpoint or our MCP server, and none of it creates an agreement. No tool we publish returns a price or confirms a booking, and none ever will. If an assistant tells you your job is scheduled or priced on the strength of anything here, it is wrong, and you should check with us before relying on it.

What automated callers may and may not do is published at /AGENTS.md.

Limits of the work

What we produce, and what it is not.

We record what is there. Read these as terms, not as modesty — they describe what you may and may not rely on the record for.

Not licensed electrical, plumbing or HVAC

Licensed trades require licensed providers. For work outside our scope, we can suggest independent licensed vendors; the owner hires them directly.

Never the fix for our own findings

If Twinstead, Curastead or another Avodas product found the problem, we will not be the ones who fix it. You get the finding and choose who does the work. We take no referral fee on that repair.

Not security systems, for now

We do not currently install security cameras, access control or alarm systems. Ask, and we will point you to a licensed installer.

Not a software subscription

A tool is built once and handed over with its source. If you never speak to us again, it keeps working.

Ownership

You own what we make for you.

Yours, and exportable

The record of your property belongs to you, in full, in open formats, whenever you ask. It is not a subscription you lose.

We keep a working copy

To service the property later and to evidence what was delivered. You can ask us to delete it in writing.

Our tools stay ours

The software, the parts library and the methods we use to build the record remain ours. You own the record; you do not own the machinery that made it.

We ask before we show anything

No image of your property is used in our marketing without your written permission, per property. Silence is not permission. The same applies to finished design work we make for you, such as lobby slides or screen images: we ask in writing before showing it as a sample.

Payment and specific work

How we invoice, and what each kind of work includes.

Invoices are due by the date shown on the invoice, usually 30 days from the invoice date. We accept check and Zelle; card and bank-transfer payment can be arranged on request. Please include the invoice number with your payment.

We will never ask you by email to pay into a different account. If you receive a message like that, call us before you pay.

Design and creative work

Quoted design work, such as slides, screen graphics, logos and marketing images, includes the number of images and rounds of revisions stated on the quote or invoice. Additional images, revisions or updates are quoted separately. We create designs from the content and brand details you provide, and you are responsible for confirming that the details shown, such as names and suite numbers, are accurate.

Handiwork: hands-on services

Handiwork covers hands-on setup and installation. Unless the quote says otherwise, you provide the equipment (such as a TV, streaming device or smart devices), the accounts and passwords for them, working internet and Wi-Fi, and access to the building. Work is limited to the scope on the quote or invoice.

Use of these pages

Read it, quote it, cite it.

Everything public on this site may be read, quoted briefly with attribution, and summarized, by people and by software alike. That is what it is for. Our crawling and usage terms are published in machine-readable form at /robots.txt and /AGENTS.md.

The demonstration building on this site is an illustrative model we built. It is not a real property and not a real client's record.

Next step

Tell us what needs doing.

A job that needs doing, or the four hours a week your team keeps losing to something a computer should be doing. We will tell you whether it is worth it.

Describe the space, equipment you already have and the networking, device installation or software task you need help with.

Add a phone number or city (optional)

A person at Avodas reads this and replies, usually within a working day or two. Nothing is booked or priced yet. You can also email hello@avodas.tech.
