Terms of Service

The basis on which you may use levarlux.com, and the standard commercial terms behind a Levarlux engagement. Client agreements are always negotiated and signed — these are the defaults, not the ceiling.

[ Effective 25 Sep 2026 ][ Governing Law: England & Wales ]

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the levarlux.com website and set out the standard basis on which Levarlux Studio (“Levarlux”, “we”, “us”) proposes, scopes, and delivers software engineering work. By using this site you agree to Section A. Where you engage the studio, the signed statement of work (“SOW”) and master services agreement take precedence over Section B — the rest of these Terms apply as a fallback.

Section A — Using this website

A1. Permitted use

You may browse, link to, and quote from this site for legitimate purposes. You may not scrape it at volume, reuse its design system or copy as your own, attempt to disrupt it, or use it to send unsolicited communications. Automated crawling that affects availability may be blocked without notice.

A2. Accuracy of content

We write our own content and correct it when it is wrong. Case studies describe real engagements, with client-identifying details removed where confidentiality requires. Benchmarks are production measurements from specific systems, not promises about your future project. Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice, and we make no warranty that any content is complete, current, or suitable for your purpose.

A3. Intellectual property

The site’s design, copy, illustrations, and code are owned by Levarlux or licensed to us. You may quote brief extracts with attribution. You may not reproduce substantial portions, redistribute the design system, or use our content to train commercial models without written permission.

A4. Third-party links

This site links to third-party resources for reference. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices, and a link does not imply endorsement.

A5. Availability

We aim to keep the site available and free of harmful code, but it is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We may change or withdraw content at any time.

A6. Liability for site use

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Levarlux is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from use of this site, and our total liability arising from the site in any twelve-month period is limited to £100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Section B — Standard engagement terms

These apply to proposals and engagements until superseded by a signed agreement. They exist so both sides start from the same assumptions.

B1. Proposals and scope

A proposal states the scope, deliverables, assumptions, milestones, and price. It is valid for 30 days. Work begins once both sides sign an SOW or provide written confirmation. Anything outside the agreed scope is a change request: we re-price it and show the schedule impact before any work starts.

B2. Fees and payment

  • Discovery sprints are fixed-price, invoiced 50% on booking and 50% on delivery of the blueprint.
  • Build phases are milestone-based, invoiced on acceptance of each milestone.
  • Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance, with a three-month minimum term.
  • Invoices are payable within 14 days. Public-sector and enterprise terms may be extended by agreement.
  • Prices exclude applicable taxes and third-party costs (cloud, licences, fonts), which are passed through at cost or billed directly to you.

B3. Delivery and acceptance

Each milestone carries written acceptance criteria agreed before work starts. You review within five business days of delivery and either accept, or list the specific deviations from the criteria. We correct those within the milestone at no additional cost. Delayed feedback delays the schedule accordingly — we will say so plainly.

B4. Change control

No change enters a sprint without an explicit conversation covering effort, cost, and schedule impact. Approvals may be given by email from a named contact on either side. This is how we avoid open-ended hourly surprises.

B5. Intellectual property

On payment in full, all intellectual property in the deliverables is assigned to you. We retain ownership of pre-existing materials, generic utilities, and internal tooling, and grant you a perpetual, royalty-free licence to any such material embedded in the deliverables. We may describe the engagement and show non-confidential work in our portfolio unless you ask us not to.

B6. Confidentiality

Each side keeps the other’s confidential information secret, uses it only for the engagement, and protects it with at least the care it uses for its own. Obligations survive for three years after the engagement ends, or indefinitely for trade secrets. We will sign a mutual NDA before you share sensitive detail — ask at first contact.

B7. Data protection

Where we process personal data on your behalf, we do so as a processor under a data processing agreement covering Article 28 requirements, sub-processor disclosure, security measures, and deletion or return on termination. Our own practices as a controller are described in the Privacy Policy.

B8. Warranties

We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care, by suitably qualified personnel, and substantially in accordance with the agreed specification. For 30 days after acceptance of a milestone we will correct reproducible defects in that milestone at no charge. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of third-party services, or that any particular search ranking or revenue outcome will be achieved.

B9. Termination

Either side may terminate for material breach not remedied within 14 days of written notice, or insolvency. You may terminate for convenience with 14 days’ written notice; we may terminate for convenience with 28 days’ notice. On termination you pay for work completed up to the termination date, and we hand over all work in progress, repositories, and documentation. Confidentiality and IP provisions survive.

B10. Limitation of liability

Subject to the exclusions below, each party’s total liability under an engagement in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees paid or payable in that period, and neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss of anticipated savings. Nothing limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, breach of confidentiality, infringement of the other party’s intellectual property, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

B11. Non-solicitation

During an engagement and for six months afterwards, neither side will knowingly solicit for employment any individual introduced by the other side as part of the engagement, other than through a general public advertisement. This does not restrict applications made without direct approach.

B12. Governing law

These Terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are contracting as a consumer in another jurisdiction, your mandatory local rights are unaffected.

Section C — Contact and changes

We may update these Terms; the effective date at the top of the page changes when we do. Material changes affecting an active engagement are notified to your named contact before they take effect.
