INEYA Terms of service
Terms of service
How the contract is formed, what is owed and when, who owns what we produce, and what happens if either of us stops.
1. Purpose and scope
These terms govern design, development and advisory work carried out by INEYA Studio, a French simplified joint-stock company registered in Paris under number 107 137 994, with its office at 36 rue de Wattignies, 75012 Paris.
They form the sole basis of commercial negotiation under article L. 441-1 of the French Commercial Code, and apply to business clients only: the studio sells nothing online and does not serve consumers.
They prevail over the client’s purchasing terms unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.
2. Formation of the contract
No work is due before a quotation has been accepted in writing. The quotation states scope, deliverables, schedule, price and payment terms, and is valid for thirty days.
Anything not in the quotation is not included: new requests are priced in an addendum before execution.
3. Price, deposit and payment
Prices are in euros excluding tax. The reverse charge applies to valid EU VAT-registered business customers in other member states.
Unless the quotation states otherwise, a thirty per cent deposit is due on order and the balance on delivery. Payment terms are thirty days from the invoice date.
4. Late payment
Late payment triggers, without prior notice, interest at the ECB refinancing rate plus ten percentage points and a fixed recovery fee of forty euros, as required by French commercial law. Work may be suspended after a reminder has gone unanswered for seven days.
5. Deadlines and client cooperation
Deadlines run from receipt of the deposit and of everything needed to proceed: access, content, approvals, a named contact. The studio undertakes a best-efforts obligation, and client-side delays shift the schedule accordingly.
6. Acceptance
Deliverables are deemed accepted absent a written, reasoned response within ten working days. Two rounds of adjustments within scope are included in the price.
7. Ownership of deliverables
Economic rights in bespoke deliverables transfer to the client upon full payment, for the legal term of protection and worldwide. The studio retains ownership of its pre-existing or generic tools, libraries and components, and grants a non-exclusive right of use for the deliverable concerned.
The client warrants that it holds the rights to the materials it supplies.
8. References
Unless the client objects in writing, the studio may name the client and present the work as a reference. No confidential data or commercial figure is published without express consent.
9. Confidentiality
Each party keeps the other’s non-public information confidential during the engagement and for three years afterwards.
10. Personal data
Where the studio processes personal data on the client’s behalf, it acts as a processor under article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, on documented instructions, under a processing agreement. Processing carried out for the studio’s own purposes is described in its privacy policy.
11. Liability
Liability is limited to proven fault and direct damage, capped at the amount actually paid for the engagement concerned. Indirect damage is excluded, and no commercial, financial or search-ranking outcome is guaranteed.
None of these limitations applies in cases of wilful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, or where the law forbids them.
12. Termination
Either party may terminate for breach after fifteen days' unremedied notice. The client may also stop at any time: work performed and costs incurred remain due, and partial deliverables are handed over together with the access needed to continue with a third party.
13. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for a failure caused by an event beyond its reasonable control within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
14. Governing law and disputes
French law applies, and the Paris Commercial Court has exclusive jurisdiction. As the studio does not serve consumers, consumer mediation does not apply.
