1. Who we are
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website located at northlanestudio.com (the "Site") and any services provided under the name Northlane Studio, currently operated by [your full legal name] as an individual ("Northlane Studio," "we," "us," or "our"). Northlane Studio is not currently registered as a separate legal business entity; services are provided directly by the individual named above. This section will be updated once formal business registration is complete.
By accessing the Site or engaging our services, you ("Client," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or our services.
2. Services
Northlane Studio provides website development, web application development, AI integration, e-commerce development, and related website maintenance services ("Services"). The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and price for each engagement will be set out in a separate written proposal, quote, or contract ("Project Agreement"), which forms part of these Terms once accepted by both parties.
3. Quotes, payment, and pricing
- Prices listed on the Site are starting estimates. Final pricing is confirmed in writing before work begins.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, projects require an upfront deposit before work starts, with the remaining balance due on agreed milestones or on completion.
- Late payments may result in a pause of work and, where relevant, late payment interest as permitted by applicable law.
- Monthly maintenance plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis and can be cancelled with [X days'] written notice.
4. Client responsibilities
You agree to provide timely feedback, content, access credentials, and any materials reasonably required for us to complete the project. Delays in providing these may extend agreed timelines accordingly.
5. Intellectual property
Upon full payment, you will own the final deliverables created specifically for your project (e.g. the website's design and custom code written for you), excluding any third-party tools, libraries, stock assets, or frameworks used to build it, which remain subject to their own licenses. Northlane Studio retains the right to display completed work in its own portfolio and marketing materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.
6. Revisions and project scope
Each package or Project Agreement includes a defined number of revision rounds. Requests that fall outside the agreed scope ("scope creep") may be quoted and billed separately.
7. Warranties and limitation of liability
We aim to deliver functional, well-tested work, but Services are provided "as is" beyond any specific warranty stated in the Project Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Northlane Studio's total liability for any claim arising from the Services is limited to the amount paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost data.
8. Third-party services
Projects may rely on third-party platforms (hosting providers, payment processors, CMS platforms, AI tooling, etc.). Northlane Studio is not responsible for outages, pricing changes, or policy changes made by these third parties.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate an ongoing project with written notice as specified in the Project Agreement. Work completed and expenses incurred up to the termination date remain payable.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [your country, e.g. Republic of Albania], without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless a specific Project Agreement states otherwise for a given client's jurisdiction.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site or ongoing Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
