Terms & Conditions

The short version

Browse the site, read anything, get in touch. Don't copy our work or our clients' work and pass it off as your own, don't try to break the site, and understand that everything here is information rather than a promise or a contract. If you go on to hire us, a separate written agreement covers that project.

Who we are

Splinx Studio is a web development studio. Throughout this page, "we", "us" and "our" mean Splinx Studio, and "you" means anyone visiting or using this website. You can reach us any time at letsbegin@splinxstudio.com.

Using this website

By visiting splinxstudio.com you accept the terms on this page. If there's something here you don't agree with, please stop using the site.

You're welcome to use the site for anything reasonable: reading about what we do, looking through our work, quoting a line or two with credit, or contacting us about a project. What we ask you not to do:

• Copy the design, code, layout or written content and republish it as your own work
• Scrape the site in bulk or use automated tools that put load on it
• Try to gain access to any part of the site or its hosting that isn't public
• Use anything here to mislead people about who built what
• Use the site for anything unlawful, or in a way that harms other visitors

Our work, and our clients' work

The design, code, text, layout and structure of this website belong to Splinx Studio and are protected by copyright.

The case studies are a different matter. The screenshots, product names, logos and brands shown in our portfolio belong to the clients who own those projects. They appear here to show what we've built, with permission. Nothing on this site transfers any right to use those brands, and you shouldn't treat a case study as an endorsement by that client of anything beyond the work described.

If you'd like to reference our work somewhere, just ask. We're usually happy to say yes.

Accuracy and availability

We write this site carefully and keep it current, but we can't promise that every detail is complete or correct at the moment you read it. Timelines, technology choices and service descriptions are typical examples rather than guarantees, and the right answer for your project only becomes clear once we've talked about it.

We also can't promise the site will always be online. Hosting has outages, updates happen, and sometimes things break. We'll fix problems as quickly as we reasonably can, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted access.

Enquiries are not contracts

Sending us a message, and us replying to it, doesn't create a binding agreement between us. Work only begins once we've both agreed the scope, price and timeline in writing, and that separate agreement is what governs the project, not this page.

Any price, estimate or timeline we mention before that point is indicative. It can change once we understand the full picture, and we'll always tell you before it does.

What you send us

When you email or message us, we receive whatever you choose to send: your name, contact details, and whatever you tell us about your business or project.

We use that information for one thing only, which is replying to you and, if it goes ahead, running your project. We don't sell it, rent it, or add you to a marketing list you didn't ask for. If you'd like us to delete your enquiry and details from our records, email us and we'll do it.

This site itself is static and doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies. Fonts are loaded from Fontshare and Google Fonts, which means those providers may see your IP address as part of serving the files, in the same way any website using hosted fonts works.

Links to other websites

Our case studies link to live client sites, and other pages may link to third party tools or resources. Those sites are run by other people, under their own terms and privacy practices. We include the links because they're useful, not because we control or vouch for everything on them, and we're not responsible for what you find once you leave our site.

Limits on our responsibility

This website is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for any loss you suffer from relying on information published here, from the site being unavailable, or from anything you reach through a link on it. That includes lost profit, lost data and lost business opportunity.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that legally cannot be limited, including liability for fraud.

Changes to these terms

We may update this page as the studio and the site change. The date at the top always shows the most recent version, and continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. We won't email you about small wording changes, so it's worth a glance if you're relying on something specific here.

Questions

If any part of this page is unclear, or you want permission for something it doesn't cover, write to letsbegin@splinxstudio.com and a real person will answer.
