Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of ribersonstudio.com (the "Site") and any inquiry you make through it. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. Project work is governed by a separate written agreement — see Section 1.

1. About these Terms

These Terms cover the Site and initial inquiries. They are not a project contract. Any engagement for design or development services is governed by a separate written proposal and agreement that defines scope, deliverables, timeline, and price.

2. Services & pricing

Riberson Studio offers web design and development services across tiers (Launchpad, Momentum, Flagship). Pricing is provided individually: your quote follows a discovery conversation and a written proposal that defines scope, deliverables, and timeline. Offerings may change.

3. Quotes, deposits & payment

Unless your project agreement states otherwise, projects typically require a deposit to book, with the balance due at milestones or on launch (for example, 50% / 50% for smaller projects and milestone-based for larger ones). Payment terms, refunds, and revision limits are defined in your project agreement.

4. Client responsibilities

For projects to succeed, you agree to provide accurate information, the necessary content and assets, and timely feedback and approvals. Delays in these may affect timelines.

5. Intellectual property

Upon receipt of full payment, you own the final website deliverables created for you — except for third-party components, fonts, plugins, or stock assets, which remain under their respective licenses. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, Riberson Studio may display the completed work in its portfolio and marketing. Pre-existing tools, code libraries, and know-how remain the property of Riberson Studio.

6. Disclaimers

The Site and services are provided "as is." I don't guarantee specific business results, search rankings, traffic, or conversion outcomes. I make reasonable efforts to deliver quality, accessible, and secure work.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Riberson Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Total liability for any claim relating to the Site or a project is limited to the amount you paid for the related service.

8. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other's non-public information confidential and to use it only to carry out the project.

9. Termination

Either party may end an engagement as set out in the project agreement. Fees for work completed up to termination remain payable.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts.

11. Changes to these Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time; the "last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use of the Site means you accept the changes.
