Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of volund.studio and any services provided by Völund ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Services
Völund provides custom web design and development services. All project scopes, deliverables, timelines, and fees are defined in individual project agreements or quotes provided before work begins.
2. Payment
We require 50% payment upfront before project work begins, with the remaining 50% due upon project completion and before site launch. Payments are processed via Stripe. All prices are in USD.
Refunds are available within 48 hours of project kickoff if no design work has commenced. After design work begins, no refunds are available, though we will complete all agreed deliverables.
3. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of final payment, you own all custom design assets and code created specifically for your project. We retain the right to display your project in our portfolio unless you request otherwise in writing.
Third-party assets (fonts, stock images, open-source libraries) are subject to their respective licenses.
4. Revisions
Revision rounds are defined per project tier. Additional revisions beyond the included rounds may be charged at our current hourly rate, quoted in advance.
5. Client Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate business information and content in a timely manner
- Respond to feedback requests within 72 hours to avoid timeline delays
- Ensure you have rights to all content (text, images, logos) you provide
- Not use deliverables for illegal or harmful purposes
6. Warranties & Liability
We warrant that our work will be completed with reasonable skill and care. We do not guarantee specific SEO rankings, traffic volumes, or conversion rates.
Our total liability to you shall not exceed the fees paid for the specific project in question. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
7. Maintenance & Support
All tiers include a bug fix guarantee period (30, 60, or 90 days depending on tier). After this period, maintenance and support are available via our optional monthly plans.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate a project with 7 days written notice. In the event of client-side termination after work has begun, fees for work completed to date are non-refundable.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify active clients of material changes.
