Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Welcome to Pixaroa. By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. This document outlines the legal framework governing our relationship as a Paris-based web design studio and the expectations for all clients and visitors.
Our approach is rooted in clarity and mutual respect. These terms are designed not as barriers, but as a foundation for a successful collaboration, ensuring transparency in process, deliverables, and intellectual property.
Usage & Access
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our website for informational purposes and to view our portfolio. This license does not permit you to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our content or services.
As a visitor, you agree to use the website in a manner that respects its purpose and our other users. This includes refraining from automated scraping of content, unauthorized data collection, or any activity that could disrupt the site's functionality.
"Our site is an extension of our studio's craft. We view access as a form of engagement, and we protect the integrity of the work displayed here with the same care we apply to our client projects."
Access Symbol
All content on this website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, video clips, data compilations, and software, is the property of Pixaroa or its content suppliers and is protected by French and international copyright laws.
Client projects displayed in our portfolio are shared with explicit permission. Each case study is a curated narrative of a completed project, showcasing our process and the client's final product. The intellectual property for the delivered work (e.g., the website code, design files) is typically transferred to the client upon final payment, as specified in the individual service agreement.
Any unauthorised use, reproduction, or distribution of this content violates these terms and may result in civil and criminal penalties.
Intellectual Property
Key Distinctions
- •Our Studio's IP: The website you are on now, our internal methodologies, and presentation materials remain our property.
- •Client IP: All deliverables created for a specific project are owned by the client, barring any licensed third-party assets.
- •Portfolio Rights: We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio, unless a strict non-disclosure agreement is in place.
Design Decisions & Trade-offs
Our service agreements are built on transparency. Here are common compromises we navigate with clients to align vision, timeline, and budget.
Speed vs. Polish
Launching an MVP in 3 weeks means prioritizing core functionality and clean typography over extensive custom animations or micro-interactions.
Mitigation: Phased rollout schedule defined in the contract.Custom vs. Template
A custom build offers infinite flexibility but requires more development time. A premium theme speeds up launch but may limit unique brand expression.
Mitigation: Audit existing brand assets for reusable elements.Scope vs. Budget
Adding a complex feature (e.g., member portal) impacts the timeline and cost. We provide clear alternatives, like a phased integration.
Mitigation: Line-item estimates for all potential add-ons.Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
Based on years of collaboration, we've identified patterns that can derail a web project. Here’s how we navigate them.
Scope Creep via Constant Revision
Endless tweaks on launched designs delay the go-live. We establish a clear "revision window" post-design sign-off, treating further changes as a new project phase.
The "Everything" Brief
A single email with 20 goals is a recipe for a confused outcome. We use a structured intake process (discovery workshop) to distill 3-5 core objectives.
Poor Content Hand-off
Delayed or low-quality content (text, images) causes launch delays. We provide a content brief with examples and deadlines from day one.
Disclaimer of Warranties & Liability
The Pixaroa website and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties or representations of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of the site or the information, content, materials, or products included therein.
To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, Pixaroa disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
