You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Use the website for unlawful activities

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website where we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

4. Project Scope

Before beginning a project, Proton Web Studio may provide a proposal, quotation, scope of work, project brief, or similar document.

The agreed project scope may include:

• Specific deliverables
• Features and functionality
• Number of pages
• Design requirements
• Technology requirements
• Estimated timeline
• Project milestones
• Payment terms
• Revision limits
• Third-party services
• Client responsibilities

Work requested outside the agreed scope may be treated as additional work and may result in additional charges or timeline changes.

5. Client Responsibilities

To complete a project efficiently, the client may need to provide:

• Business information
• Branding assets
• Logos
• Images
• Text and content
• Product information
• Technical credentials
• Hosting or domain access
• Third-party platform access
• Feedback and approvals
• Other materials reasonably required for the project

The client is responsible for ensuring that information and materials supplied to Proton Web Studio are accurate and that the client has the necessary rights to use them.

Delays in providing required materials, information, approvals, or access may affect the project timeline.

6. Design Revisions

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable project agreement, reasonable revisions may be included within the agreed project scope.

A revision means a reasonable modification to an existing design or deliverable. Requests that substantially change the original concept, functionality, structure, or project requirements may be treated as additional work.

Additional revisions or significant scope changes may result in additional charges.

7. Project Timeline

We will make reasonable efforts to complete projects within the estimated timeline provided to the client.

However, timelines may be affected by:

• Delayed client feedback
• Delayed content or assets
• Delayed approvals
• Changes to project scope
• Third-party services
• Technical issues
• Unexpected development requirements
• Force majeure events

Estimated timelines are therefore not guaranteed unless a specific completion date has been expressly agreed in writing.

8. Payments

Project pricing and payment schedules will be communicated in the relevant proposal, quotation, invoice, or agreement.

Depending on the project, payment may be structured as:

• Upfront deposit
• Milestone payments
• Monthly payments
• Final payment upon completion
• Recurring service fees

Unless otherwise agreed, work may not begin until the required initial payment has been received.

9. Late or Non-Payment

If a payment becomes overdue, Proton Web Studio may:

• Pause project work
• Suspend access to applicable services
• Delay delivery
• Withhold final deliverables
• Suspend maintenance or support
• Require outstanding balances to be paid before resuming work

Any applicable late-payment charges will be specified in the relevant agreement or invoice.

10. Cancellation and Termination

Either party may request termination of a project subject to the applicable project agreement.

If a client cancels a project after work has begun, the client may be responsible for payment for:

• Work already completed
• Approved expenses
• Third-party costs
• Non-refundable services
• Other committed project costs

Any specific cancellation or refund terms agreed in writing will take precedence.

11. Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the type of service, project stage, and applicable agreement.

Because digital services may involve significant time, design, development, research, and third-party expenses, payments for completed work or committed services may be non-refundable.

Any applicable refund policy will be communicated before or during the engagement.

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Proton Web Studio retains ownership of its pre-existing:

• Code libraries
• Frameworks
• Templates
• Design systems
• Development tools
• Processes
• Methodologies
• Reusable components
• Internal resources
• General technical knowledge

Upon receipt of full payment for the applicable project, the client will receive the rights to the final custom deliverables specifically created for the client, subject to any third-party licenses and the terms of the project agreement.

13. Third-Party Software and Assets

Projects may use third-party:

• Software
• APIs
• Plugins
• Themes
• Fonts
• Libraries
• Hosting platforms
• SaaS services
• Payment providers
• Stock assets
• Open-source software

These third-party products are subject to their own licenses, terms, and policies. Proton Web Studio does not transfer ownership of third-party software or assets that it does not own. The client may be responsible for ongoing subscription, licensing, hosting, API, or platform fees unless otherwise agreed.

14. Website Hosting and Domains

Domain registration, hosting, email hosting, SSL certificates, cloud infrastructure, and other third-party services may involve separate fees.

Unless explicitly included in a service agreement, Proton Web Studio does not guarantee continued availability or pricing of third-party hosting or domain providers. The client is responsible for maintaining ownership and renewal of domains and third-party accounts unless otherwise agreed.

15. SEO Services

SEO services are intended to improve a website's technical health, search visibility, content quality, and organic growth opportunities.

However, Proton Web Studio does not guarantee:

• A specific Google ranking
• A specific search position
• A specific amount of organic traffic
• A specific number of leads
• A specific revenue increase
• A specific time period for achieving SEO results

Search engines frequently change their algorithms and ranking systems, and results may depend on factors outside our control.

16. Digital Marketing and Advertising

Digital marketing services may include SEO, paid advertising, social media marketing, content marketing, analytics, and conversion optimization.

Advertising budgets paid to third-party advertising platforms are separate from our service fees unless specifically stated otherwise.

We do not guarantee:

• A specific number of leads
• Sales
• Revenue
• Advertising return on investment
• Specific advertising performance
• Specific campaign results

Marketing performance depends on many factors, including market conditions, competition, budget, offer quality, audience, website performance, and platform policies.

17. Web Application and Software Development

Custom software and web applications may depend on third-party infrastructure, APIs, hosting providers, payment processors, authentication providers, databases, or other services.

While we make reasonable efforts to develop reliable applications, we cannot guarantee that software will always be:

• Completely error-free
• Continuously available
• Completely secure
• Compatible with every third-party system
• Free from future technical issues

Applications may require ongoing maintenance, updates, security patches, infrastructure management, or feature development.

18. Client Content

The client is responsible for all text, images, videos, logos, trademarks, documents, product information, and other materials provided to Proton Web Studio.

The client represents that they have the necessary rights, permissions, and licenses to use those materials. The client agrees not to provide materials that infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of third parties.

19. Third-Party Links

Our website and services may contain links or integrations to third-party websites and services.

We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for:

If a project is confidential or subject to a non-disclosure agreement, we will respect the applicable confidentiality obligations. Clients who do not want their project publicly displayed should notify us in writing.

We will take reasonable steps to protect confidential information shared with us during a project.
