Terms of Service

The Fine Print (That You Probably Won't Read)

But if you do read it, we promise it's not that bad. Probably.

Agreement to These Terms
You're agreeing to this by using our website. No pressure.

By accessing or using Elmao Industries' services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, you can leave now. We won't be offended. Much.

Our Services
What we actually do (and what we definitely don't do).

What We Offer

Web development, consulting, and whatever crazy idea you throw at us. We'll try our best to make it work.

What We Don't Do

Magic. Time travel. Fixing your old code for free. We're good, but not that good.

Web DevelopmentConsultingProject ManagementProblem Solving
Your Responsibilities
Don't be that person. Please.

Be Honest

Tell us what you actually want. We're not mind readers. If you say "make it pop" and mean "make it explode with confetti", we might disappoint you.

Pay Your Bills

If we agree on a price, pay it. If we don't agree on a price, we'll figure something out. No one likes chasing payments.

Respect Copyright

Don't give us stolen designs or copyrighted content. We're not getting sued for your bad decisions.

Payment Terms
Money makes the world go 'round. And our projects happen.

How We Charge

We work on a project basis or hourly rates. We'll quote you upfront and stick to it (unless you change everything halfway through).

When We Get Paid

Deposits up front for new projects. Milestone payments as we go. Final payment before delivery. Standard industry practice.

Late Payments

Pay on time or we might have to pause your project. We have bills too (coffee, servers, existential dread).

Intellectual Property
Who owns what after we're done.

Our Work

Once you pay us, the work is yours. We might keep a portfolio copy, but we won't use it for other clients without your permission.

Third-Party Stuff

If you provide us with content, make sure you have the rights to use it. We're not responsible for your copyright violations.

Open Source

We love open source, but we'll specify if we're using any GPL-licensed components that might affect your project.

Limitation of Liability
We're good, but we're not perfect.

We'll do our best to deliver quality work, but things happen. Bugs, server crashes, cosmic rays. We're not liable for indirect damages (loss of data, business interruption, or consequential damages), lost profits, or the collapse of Western civilization.

"Best efforts" means we'll try really hard, but we can't guarantee perfection.

Termination
How to end our beautiful relationship.

Ending the Project

Either party can terminate with reasonable notice. We'll bill you for work completed up to that point.

What Happens Next

You get whatever we've delivered so far. We get paid for our time. Everyone goes their separate ways.

Governing Law
Where we sort out our differences (hopefully not in court).

These terms are governed by the laws of France. We prefer to resolve disputes through conversation rather than lawyers. If that fails, the courts of France will have jurisdiction.

Lawyers are expensive. Let's try to avoid them.

Questions or Concerns?
We're actually here to help.

If anything in these terms confuses you, or if you want to discuss a project, don't hesitate to reach out. We're reasonable people.

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll post the new version here. By continuing to use our services after updates, you agree to the new terms. We'll try to keep them current (and maybe even remember to update the date).
