Terms of service

Effective December 1, 2026

These terms cover stanfixes.com and the first-look service. The service is provided by me, Stanley Goldman, a sole proprietor (“I”, “me”). “You” means the person using the site or asking for a first-look. By sending a request or going ahead with a first-look, you agree to these terms.

Using the site

You can read and share the site freely. Don’t use the request form to send spam, malware or anything you don’t have the right to send. The site’s text, design and examples are mine; the example report is made up.

Requests

Sending a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. I reply within one business day to say whether a first-look fits. I may decline any request, and if I do, I’ll say why.

The first-look

What you get. I read your app’s code and settings and write a report, signed by me. It answers the problem you asked about and lists up to five other things I found, each with a severity and a fixed price for fixing it. Then we have a 15-minute call to go through it.

What you provide. Read-only access to the code: a GitHub invite or your builder platform’s share or export. You confirm you own the app or have the right to give me that access. Don’t give me passwords, keys or your users’ data.

When. The report arrives 5 business days after both payment and access are in place.

Price. $299, fixed, agreed before work starts. For a limited period I may waive the fee for some first-looks. If I waive yours, I’ll tell you before we start, and in return I ask for honest feedback. I may also ask to use an anonymised version of your report as a sample, but only with your written permission, given separately.

Refunds. If I can’t deliver the report, for example because the access you gave doesn’t let me see the code, I refund the fee in full.

Follow-on work

The report includes a fixed price for each fix. A quoted price holds for 30 days from the report. If you agree to any follow-on work (a fix, hourly work or a full readiness review) within 30 days of your report, the full first-look fee comes off it. Hourly work is $150 an hour, only if you prefer it to a fixed price. Follow-on work is agreed in writing, by email is fine, before it starts.

What a first-look is not

A first-look is an experienced engineer’s honest read of your app. It is not a penetration test, a compliance certification or legal advice, and it does not guarantee that your app is secure or free of bugs. I read your code; I don’t change it. Problems I don’t find, or that appear after the report, aren’t covered.

Your code and the report

Your code stays yours. I use it only to do the work, I keep it confidential, and I delete any copy I made when the work ends. The report is yours to use, share, and hand to your AI tool or another developer. I keep a copy, and I keep the right to reuse my general know-how and anonymised notes of the kinds of problems I find, as the privacy policy describes.

Liability

I provide the site and the report “as is”. To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, lost data or business interruption, and my total liability for a first-look is limited to the fee you paid for it, or $100 if the fee was waived. Nothing here limits liability that the law doesn’t allow to be limited.

General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. I may update these terms; the version in force when you agree to a first-look applies to that first-look. Questions go to hello@stanfixes.com.
