Terms & conditions

The website is operated under the Atelier Cadre name by Melina Yorgova as a natural person. The activity has not yet been registered as a business. These website terms do not create a separate company or state that one exists. The current site is presented for business enquiries and does not offer online checkout or online contract acceptance.

Visitors may use the site for lawful purposes. Do not attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the website or its security, or knowingly send malicious code. Nothing in these terms removes a right or liability that applicable law does not allow to be removed.

The website describes website design and development, e-commerce website development, website redesign, and website maintenance or ongoing support. An enquiry asks the studio to consider a possible project; it is not an offer accepted by the visitor and does not itself create a contract.

If a project is suitable, the parties are expected to document it in a written proposal or quotation. The quotation is accepted by signature or another clear written acceptance method stated in it. Work begins only after the proposal and applicable project terms have been accepted in writing and the initial payment has been received. No public price, fixed delivery date, or guaranteed result is offered on this site. The Contact page states an expected response time for enquiries; it is not a project start or delivery deadline.

The accepted project documents should describe the deliverables, milestones, dependencies, approvals, and each party's responsibilities. The client should provide accurate content, decisions, access, and materials needed for the agreed work, and confirm that it has the rights needed to supply them.

Two rounds of revisions are included for each agreed design phase. The quotation or project agreement should define when a phase is ready for review and how feedback is collected. Further revision rounds, new features, or other changes to the agreed scope require written approval before the additional work begins and may be charged separately. Approvals and scope changes should be recorded in writing, including by email where appropriate.

Requests that change the agreed scope, content, functionality, or direction should be assessed and agreed in writing before the additional work is carried out. Delays caused by missing materials, access, feedback, or approvals may affect the schedule; any revised dates should be confirmed in writing.

Projects are quoted individually after the requirements have been discussed. Unless the accepted quotation provides a milestone schedule for a larger project, the intended payment schedule is 50% of the agreed fee when the project is accepted and 50% before final handover. The initial payment must be received before work begins. Any milestone schedule, payment method, due dates, applicable taxes, and agreed expenses must be stated in the quotation and invoices. Due dates must comply with the payment rules applicable to the transaction. This page sets no public price, discount, cancellation charge, or automatic non-refundable payment rule.

For professional transactions where the French B2B rules apply, applicable sales conditions and invoices must state payment terms, the late-payment penalty rate and its application, and the fixed recovery-cost indemnity. The rate used for a particular offer must be confirmed and stated in its commercial terms; it must meet the statutory minimum, including the applicable rule that it may not be below three times the statutory interest rate. The €40 fixed recovery-cost indemnity applies where required by law. The exact penalty rate and calculation have not yet been selected for the studio's B2B sales conditions. See Articles L. 441-1 and L. 441-10 of the French Commercial Code and Article D. 441-5 on the recovery indemnity at the official text, and the official overview of general terms and conditions of sale. These website terms do not yet provide the complete adopted B2B payment conditions needed before they are used as sales terms.

The project documents should state how and when work is delivered, how the client reviews and accepts it, and how any correction of agreed defects is handled. No fixed warranty period or acceptance window is created by these website terms. Any defect-correction, maintenance, or ongoing-support commitment must be expressly stated in the relevant written agreement.

Hosting, domain registration, subscriptions, software licences, maintenance, and support are included only if the accepted project documents say so. Responsibility for renewals, third-party charges, and access after delivery should be recorded in those documents.

Website materials and project deliverables may contain works owned by the author, the client, or third parties. The intended commercial arrangement is that, after full payment, the project agreement will transfer or license the specifically identified applicable rights in the final agreed deliverables. That agreement must define the rights, permitted scope, purpose, territory, and duration. French Intellectual Property Code Article L. 131-3 requires transferred rights to be identified distinctly and the scope of exploitation to be delimited; see the official text.

Fonts, themes, plugins, stock assets, and other third-party software remain subject to their own licences and terms. The project documents should identify material third-party costs and who must hold or renew any relevant subscription. The client is responsible for having permission to use content and materials it supplies.

The parties should identify confidential project information and agree how it may be used or disclosed. Personal data handled in a client project should be addressed in the project documents and, if required, a separate data-processing agreement before processing begins.

A project may involve a subcontractor only under arrangements agreed for that project. If a subcontractor will access personal data, its role, instructions, and required contractual safeguards must be documented before that access. No current subcontractor or engagement with Deveit is represented by these terms.

Website information is general and may change. The site may be unavailable or modified from time to time. Project-specific warranties, liability allocation, suspension, and termination arrangements must be stated in the accepted agreement. Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory legal rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. No cancellation penalty or refund term is created here.

A request to cancel a project should be made in writing. The parties should resolve it under their agreement and applicable law, taking account of work completed, work in progress, and non-cancellable commitments. No initial payment is automatically described here as non-refundable, and no cancellation percentage is set by this page.

The owner intends to work with professional clients only, and this framework is written for professional enquiries. Before accepting each engagement, the client's legal category must still be checked: a small business or individual acting for professional purposes may receive specific protections under applicable law. If consumer work is ever offered, separate consumer terms, pre-contract information, any applicable withdrawal arrangements, and an approved consumer mediator must be in place first. Official guidance explains that consumer mediation details must be given to consumers and shown on the professional's website and commercial documents; see the Service Public guidance.

A person contacting the studio through a business form is not automatically a professional client for every legal purpose. Some small-business clients may receive consumer protections in the circumstances defined by law. The client category must be checked for each engagement.

The operator's intended business location is Paris, France, but the applicable-law and court provisions for project contracts have not been approved. Each accepted project agreement must state its dispute process and applicable law, subject to mandatory protections and rules for the parties concerned. These website terms do not choose a court or override mandatory law.

A concern about a project should first be raised in writing with the other party so the issue and requested resolution can be discussed directly. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or using a legal remedy that cannot be waived.

A party is excused from performing an obligation to the extent that an event outside its control, not reasonably foreseeable when the agreement was made, and whose effects could not be avoided by appropriate measures prevents performance, as assessed under applicable law. A temporary impediment suspends the affected obligation unless the resulting delay justifies ending the agreement; a permanent impediment has the effects provided by law. The parties should promptly notify one another and discuss reasonable mitigation. This clause follows the framework of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code and does not classify particular events in advance.

The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy describe the information handled by the current website and the remaining verification items. See also the Legal Notice. The operator may update these website terms when the site or its practices change. A project-specific agreement governs that project to the extent its terms are valid and do not conflict with mandatory law.

This is a publication draft, not a completed B2B sales-terms set. Before it is relied on to contract, confirm the business registration and contracting identity, select and state the applicable late-payment formula and invoice terms, and approve the governing-law and dispute provisions. Complete the applicable B2B sales conditions and have a qualified French professional review them.
