My unresolved payment dispute with FortLab Corp, also known as NimbusNexus cloud services (nimbusnexus.net)
I worked for FortLab Corp, also known as NimbusNexus cloud services, for four months in 2025. The earlier months were paid. For April and May — the last two — the company used the work I delivered, reduced my tracked hours after I had invoiced, then paid nothing at all, and revoked my access without the fourteen days’ written notice the signed contract requires. On the first recording, vice president Denys Burnis says the transfer for April “will be done today”; it never arrived. Asked later for a legal justification, he answers: “Well, we sort of don’t have one…” Unresolved since May 2025. This page is written for developers considering a contract with the company, and for clients evaluating its services. Based on the recordings and documents on this site, I would not recommend FortLab Corp or NimbusNexus to anyone, contractors and clients alike. In my opinion, a company that handles a signed contract this way is not one I would trust with money for services either. For additional details, you may contact me at [email protected].
Right of reply: I last asked FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus) for a response in June 2025 and have received none. If the company or Denys Burnis responds, their statement will be added to this page.
What do the recordings and documents show about FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus)?
1. April and May 2025 remain entirely unpaid
FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus) has paid nothing for April or May 2025 — the last two of the four months I worked for the company — although it used the work I delivered. The earlier months were paid without incident. On the first recording, vice president Denys Burnis says the April transfer “will be done today”, and that the company will “pay what we owe”. Neither happened.
Evidence: Recorded call 1
2. Tracked hours were cut after invoicing, with no legal basis given
After I submitted the invoices, the company re-evaluated and reduced my tracked hours. Asked on the record for the legal justification, Denys Burnis answers: “Well, we sort of don’t have one…” Of the disputed hours he says: “So we won’t pay for those hours at all.” Despite repeated requests no written explanation followed, for either the reduction or the refusal to pay April and May — each request was answered verbally, with a promise to consult HR that produced no document.
Evidence: Recorded call 4, Recorded call 5
3. Access was revoked without the contractual fourteen days’ notice
The signed contract requires fourteen days’ written notice before termination. My access was revoked without that notice, and payment for delivered and accepted work was not completed. On the recording the company describes the revocation as standard security practice when cooperation is paused, rather than as a termination.
Evidence: Recorded call 2
4. Communication was confined to Telegram, with no company email
Denys Burnis stated that communication should happen exclusively via Telegram, and did not provide an official company email when I asked for one. That left no independently verifiable record of decisions such as the reduction of tracked hours and the revocation of access.
Evidence: Recorded call 6
5. Delivered work is still in use and still unpaid
FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus) continues to use code and deliverables from April and May 2025 that it has not paid for at all. On my reading of the contract that leaves the ownership and licence status of the unpaid work unresolved, and in my view it violates my IP rights.
6. No response and no documents since May 2025
All negotiation went directly through vice president Denys Burnis, the most senior person available to me, and after the recorded conversations he stopped responding altogether — with no one else at FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus) taking the matter over. The documents he undertakes to look into on the recordings — an HR review of the contract provisions, an official letter confirming termination, a written justification for the reduced hours — were never sent. Every commitment made to me was verbal. I have continued to write since; not one message has been answered, and the company has made no contact through any formal channel. In my view it is ignoring the dispute rather than contesting it: at no point has FortLab Corp (NimbusNexus) disputed that the work was delivered, that it is still in use, or that April and May were never paid. It simply stopped replying, and has not followed the notification and payment procedures set out in the signed contract.
Evidence: Recorded call 3, Recorded call 5
