Marketing technology studio

Terms and Conditions of Service

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to the services provided by Dr Christian Larrea, trading as Larrea Studios (the "Service Provider", "we", "us", or "our"), a sole trader operating in Scotland, United Kingdom with the business address at 62, Gorse Wynd, KY11 1BZ, Inverkeithing, Scotland, United Kingdom. By engaging with our services, you ("Client" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services

   We provide marketing technology, analytics, and web development services as described on our website www.larrea.co.uk. A detailed scope of work for each project will be outlined in a separate agreement, proposal, or project brief.

2. Engagement & Project Agreement

   Each project will be subject to an agreement outlining the specific deliverables, timelines, and fees. This agreement will form the basis of the contractual relationship between the Service Provider and the Client. If no formal agreement is in place, the acceptance of our proposal or commencement of work shall be deemed an acceptance of these Terms.

3. Client Responsibilities

   The Client agrees to provide the Service Provider with all necessary information, materials, and resources required to complete the project. The Client will also designate a point of contact to ensure smooth communication throughout the project.

   Failure to provide these requirements in a timely manner may result in delays to the project timeline and/or additional charges.

4. Payment Terms

   Payment for services is due in accordance with the payment schedule set out in the individual project agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, the following terms apply:

   • A deposit of 30% of the total fee is due upon the acceptance of the proposal or agreement.

   • The remaining 70% is due upon completion of the project or the delivery of final deliverables.

   Invoices will be issued for all payments, and payments should be made within 14 days from the date of the invoice unless otherwise agreed. We reserve the right to charge interest on late payments at a rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate.

5. Changes to Scope

   If the Client requests changes to the project scope or deliverables after the work has commenced, we will provide a written estimate of additional time or costs. Additional work or scope changes will be subject to agreement by both parties and may result in an amendment to the initial project timeline and fees.

6. Confidentiality

   Both parties agree to keep all confidential information (including business, technical, and financial details) confidential and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent. This obligation will continue even after the completion of the project.

7. Intellectual Property

   Unless otherwise agreed, the following applies to the ownership of intellectual property:

   • The Service Provider retains ownership of any pre-existing intellectual property used or incorporated into the deliverables.

   • The Client will own the final work product (e.g., website, analytics reports, etc.) upon full payment of the agreed fees. However, the Service Provider retains the right to use the work for portfolio and marketing purposes.

   If the Client fails to pay any outstanding invoices, the Service Provider reserves the right to retain ownership of the deliverables until payment is received.

8. Liability

   The Service Provider will perform services with reasonable skill and care. However, we do not accept liability for any indirect, consequential, or special damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, data, or business. Our maximum liability to the Client shall be limited to the amount paid for the specific project that gives rise to the claim.

9. Warranties & Disclaimers

   We do not warrant that the deliverables will be error-free or meet the Client's expectations in every regard. While we will work to ensure the highest quality, we cannot guarantee any specific results or outcomes, especially in relation to marketing technology and analytics services.

10. Termination

    Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice if the other party breaches these Terms or fails to meet agreed obligations. In the event of termination, the Client will pay for all work completed up to the date of termination.

    If the Client wishes to cancel the project before completion, the deposit is non-refundable. If the Service Provider terminates the agreement due to a breach by the Client, all payments made up to that point will be retained.

11. Force Majeure

    Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure in performance caused by circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of nature, war, terrorism, or government regulations.

12. Dispute Resolution

    In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the matter through informal discussions. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration or mediation, as agreed upon by both parties.

13. Governing Law

    These Terms and any dispute arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Scotland.

14. Amendments

    We reserve the right to amend or update these Terms at any time. Clients will be notified of any changes, and continued use of our services will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
