2. Website Use

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use of the Website.

We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time without notice.

3. Requests, Proposals and Project Confirmation

Any information on the Website is for general informational purposes and does not constitute a binding offer.

A project starts only after one of the following occurs:

• we confirm your request in writing (email/message), and

• you accept our proposal/quote in writing, and/or

• you pay the required deposit (if applicable).

Project scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, and conditions are defined in the agreed proposal, quote, or written communication.

4. Pricing and Payments

Prices are provided individually based on the scope and complexity of each project.

Unless agreed otherwise:

• invoices are payable by bank transfer, and

• work may be paused until payment is received.

All prices are stated excluding VAT, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Late payments may result in delays to delivery and/or additional fees.

5. Revisions and Scope Changes

Your project includes the number of revisions agreed in the proposal/quote.

Requests outside the original scope (“scope creep”) may require:

• an updated quote, and/or

• an adjusted delivery timeline.

Any additional work will be confirmed in writing before proceeding.

6. Client Responsibilities

To deliver the Services efficiently, you agree to:

• provide complete and accurate information and materials (text, images, access, feedback),

• respond to feedback requests within a reasonable time,

• confirm approvals (e.g., final design, copy, print files) before production or publishing.

We are not responsible for delays caused by missing assets, delayed feedback, or changes requested after approval.

7. Intellectual Property and Licensing

All designs, concepts, drafts, and working files created by Houbi Studio remain our intellectual property unless agreed otherwise.

7.1 Ownership and Usage Rights

Upon full payment of all invoices related to the project, you receive a license to use the final approved deliverables for the agreed purpose.

Unless explicitly included, the following are not automatically transferred:

• editable source files (e.g., Figma, AI, PSD),

• fonts and third-party licenses,

• stock photos or paid assets (unless purchased and invoiced).

7.2 Portfolio Use

We may display completed work in our portfolio, case studies, social media, and marketing materials, unless you request confidentiality in writing before the project begins.

8. Third-Party Tools and Services

Projects may involve third-party platforms (e.g., Framer, Webflow, Shopify, hosting providers, plugins, analytics tools).

You acknowledge that:

• third-party services have their own terms and pricing,

• we are not responsible for outages, changes, or limitations caused by third parties.

9. No Guarantee of Business Results

We deliver design and creative services with professional care. However, we do not guarantee specific outcomes such as increased revenue, conversions, ranking, engagement, or sales, as these depend on multiple external factors.

10. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages (loss of profit, business interruption, etc.),

• our total liability for any claim related to the Services shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

You remain responsible for how you use the final deliverables (including legal compliance for marketing claims, disclosures, and industry regulations).

11. Termination

Either party may terminate the cooperation in writing.

If a project is terminated after work has started:

• you agree to pay for work completed up to the termination date,

• any paid deposits may be non-refundable if they cover time already spent (unless agreed otherwise).
