Legal notice
The website www.studio-ats.com (the “Site”) is published by:
- Legal name: Studio Atonservice
- Legal form and share capital: SARL
- Registered office: 178 chemin du Ramelet Moundi
- Registration: [to be completed: company registration number]
- Publication director: Studio
- Contact: [to be completed: contact email]
Hosting: Vercel Inc. — [to be completed: host address] — vercel.com.
In the articles below, “Studio/ATS” means Studio Atonservice and “the Client” means anyone who commissions a service from it.
Article 1. Scope
These terms apply to every service provided by Studio/ATS: design, development of websites, applications and software, integrations, automation, hosting, maintenance and support. They form an integral part of every offer and quote.
Placing an order means accepting these terms without reservation; they prevail over the Client’s own terms unless Studio/ATS agrees otherwise in writing. They are intended for business clients; where the Client is a consumer, mandatory consumer-protection rules take precedence.
Article 2. Formation of the contract
A verbal commitment binds Studio/ATS only once confirmed in writing (email included).
An order becomes firm on receipt of the quote signed by the Client and of the 30% deposit set out in article 5.
If the Client cancels less than 2 business days before the agreed delivery date, the full price remains due. Whenever cancellation occurs, purchases made specifically for the project (licences, equipment, third-party services ordered) remain payable by the Client.
Article 3. Obligations of the parties
The parties work together actively and inform each other promptly of any difficulty.
The Client undertakes to:
- define its needs clearly and approve the specifications;
- provide the required content and materials on time, in usable formats;
- provide the legal information it is responsible for (legal notice, terms of sale, privacy policy of its own services);
- guarantee that it holds all rights to the materials it supplies, and indemnify Studio/ATS against any third-party claim in that respect.
Studio/ATS undertakes to:
- keep the Client regularly informed of progress;
- keep the Client’s information confidential, during the engagement and after it ends.
Article 4. Prices and invoicing
Prices are in euros including VAT, unless stated otherwise on the quote. They are based on the information provided by the Client; any substantial change to the project leads to a new quote.
Work not included in the quote — additional requests, new features, interventions, training — falls under the Studio Remix offer: it is billed on a time basis at €50 per hour including VAT, under the terms of a quote agreed with the Client for its needs. An offer based on incomplete information is indicative and does not bind Studio/ATS.
Article 5. Payment terms
A 30% deposit is invoiced when the offer is accepted. The balance is payable 30 days after the end of the engagement.
Any dispute about an invoice must be sent in writing within 30 days of receipt; after that, the invoice is deemed accepted.
Any late payment automatically triggers, without prior notice:
- immediate payability of all sums owed, even if not yet due;
- late-payment interest at the European Central Bank rate plus 10 percentage points (French Commercial Code, art. L441-10);
- a fixed €40 recovery-costs indemnity;
- as a penalty clause, a 15% surcharge on the sums owed, with a minimum of €125.
Studio/ATS may suspend its services until full payment. Hosting and subscriptions may be suspended; their reactivation is invoiced separately.
Article 6. Interruption of the engagement
If the Client interrupts the engagement for any reason, it pays for all work completed or in progress — sketches, studies, specifications, architecture, mock-ups, prototypes, development, management fees — calculated on a time basis at the agreed rates.
Studio/ATS remains the owner of the documents produced, except materials supplied by the Client. Working files and rejected options may be handed over for a fee.
Article 7. Deliverables, intellectual property and copyright
Studio/ATS retains ownership of the creations, concepts, strategies, source files and source code developed for the project, which form part of its know-how. The Client receives final, ready-to-use deliverables.
The right to use the deliverables is granted to the Client for the use set out in the quote and takes effect on full payment. Any other use requires Studio/ATS’s written consent. Unless the Client refuses in writing, a discreet “Made by Studio/ATS” credit may appear on the work.
Source files may be handed over within 3 months of the end of the project, for a fee where applicable, to allow minor updates: text, dates, lists, prices, information, visuals.
A new agreement is required in particular for:
- a new language version;
- adapting the project into a similar project;
- replacing more than 50% of the content;
- a major change of format;
- changes to the visual identity beyond the logo, typefaces and corporate colours.
Article 8. Third-party services: subscriptions, licences and rights
Some projects rely on third parties: stock images, fonts, domain names, hosting, APIs and online services, external production. These are invoiced in addition.
The Client is solely responsible for performing, renewing and paying for these contracts, and for respecting the rights attached to them. Studio/ATS is not liable for failures by these third parties.
Rights to stock content are limited to the originally intended use. Non-free fonts cannot be transferred: the Client buys the necessary licences itself. On receiving source files, the Client becomes responsible for the term of, and compliance with, the licences they contain.
Article 9. Conduct of the engagement
Work starts once the specifications or detailed quote are approved and all required materials have been received in the requested formats.
Deadlines are indicative; a delay gives no right to cancel or to compensation. Where Studio/ATS has confirmed a schedule in writing, proven economic loss from a delay attributable to it is compensated up to the order amount. Delays caused by late materials or approvals from the Client are not attributable to Studio/ATS.
The Client is responsible for the content it publishes and for its compliance with the law of every country where it is distributed. Studio/ATS is not liable for the legality of that content or its use.
Mock-ups and prototypes do not exactly reflect the final result (screens, browsers, print); customary industry tolerances apply.
The Client reviews proofs (mock-ups, prototypes, acceptance versions, final proofs) carefully within the agreed time and reports any error clearly. Its approval — final proof or acceptance — constitutes firm and final acceptance: no later claim is admissible on approved items, and the price remains due in full.
Unless agreed otherwise, Studio/ATS has no obligation to archive the work or the materials received.
Article 10. Digital services
For sites and applications with an administration interface, a hands-on training session is provided within 1 month of delivery, for up to 4 people. It covers content management (pages, articles, text, images) and is not a development course.
Studio Pro and Studio Premium subscriptions include maintenance of the service’s core functions (and of user accounts for Studio Premium) and a monthly allowance of free revision hours: 1 hour for Studio Pro, 5 hours for Studio Premium. These hours do not cover the development of new features, which requires a new quote (Studio Remix).
The Client then manages its content under its own responsibility. Data loss caused by the Client’s actions is not attributable to Studio/ATS; any corrective work is billed at the maintenance rate.
A Client who edits the source code does so at its own risk. Studio/ATS is not liable for resulting malfunctions but can help restore the service, on quote.
Article 11. Changes by the Client and liability
Studio/ATS is bound by an obligation of means. The Client makes regular backups of its environment. Before any change, professional advice is recommended; Studio/ATS offers its services on quote. The Client releases Studio/ATS from liability for changes it makes itself.
Studio/ATS is not liable for content published by the Client or its online activities (for example unsolicited emails). Except in case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, its liability is capped at €100,000 per incident, material and immaterial damage combined, and excludes indirect damage.
Article 12. Claims
Any claim must be made in writing within 8 days of delivery; otherwise the delivery is deemed accepted. Justified claims are handled within a reasonable time, and any compensation is limited to the order amount.
Article 13. Confidentiality
In addition to the obligation in article 3, a specific non-disclosure agreement can be signed at the Client’s request before any sensitive information is exchanged.
Article 14. References
Unless the Client refuses in writing, Studio/ATS may mention its name and show the work in its communication (website, portfolio, social media, presentations), and add a discreet link to its own site on the sites it builds.
Article 15. Term and termination
If a party fails to meet its obligations, the other may send formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. If the failure is not remedied within 30 days, the contract may be terminated automatically, without prejudice to damages.
Recurring services (maintenance, hosting, subscriptions) run for one year and renew automatically for one-year periods unless cancelled in writing at least 1 month before the renewal date. Renewed services remain payable even if unused.
If insolvency proceedings are opened against the Client, the contract is governed by applicable law.
Article 16. Assignment
The contract is entered into in consideration of the Client’s identity. The Client may not assign or transfer it, for payment or free of charge, without Studio/ATS’s prior written consent.
Article 17. Personal data
Contact form. Studio Atonservice is the controller of the data entered in the Site’s form: first name, last name, email address, phone number, chosen offer and project description. If you accept it in the cookie panel, the campaign that brought you to the Site (“utm” parameters, landing page, referring site) is attached. No other data is kept.
Purpose: getting back to you about your project — no advertising, resale or profiling. Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time. Retention: less than 30 days from receipt, then deleted; if a project goes ahead, the data needed is processed under the contract.
Recipients: the Studio/ATS team only. Our technical providers — Vercel Inc. (hosting) and Resend (email delivery) — act solely on our behalf and may process this data outside the European Union (United States) under the safeguards provided by the GDPR (European Commission standard contractual clauses).
Your rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent, by writing to [to be completed: contact email]. You may lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr) or your local supervisory authority.
Client projects. When Studio/ATS processes personal data on the Client’s behalf as part of a service, it acts as processor; the parties then sign an agreement compliant with Article 28 GDPR.
Article 18. Use of the Site and cookies
The Site is free to use and requires no account; its availability is not guaranteed. Sending a request through the form commits neither party: any work is subject to a quote.
The Site’s content (text, visuals, animations including the “Digital Core”, code, the Studio/ATS brand) is protected; reproduction without written permission is prohibited. Interfaces shown are illustrative examples with fictitious data. Studio/ATS is not liable for external sites the Site links to.
How we use cookies and similar technologies is described in the cookie policy.
Article 19. Governing law, jurisdiction and limitation
These terms are governed by French law. Failing an amicable settlement, any dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts for the place of Studio Atonservice’s registered office, including where there are several defendants or third-party claims.
Between businesses, any action relating to the performance of a service is time-barred 12 months after delivery, or after the Client’s written challenge if later; for hidden defects, from their discovery.
Article 20. Address for service and communications
Studio/ATS’s address for service is its registered office: 178 chemin du Ramelet Moundi. The Client’s is the address shown on the quote.
Communications are validly sent to the parties’ postal and email addresses — for Studio/ATS: [to be completed: contact email].
