The ground rules, kept fair.
Good projects start with everyone knowing the deal. These terms cover this website and the design work we do. Your written proposal can add to them for your project, and where it does, the proposal wins.
About these terms
By using this website, or by asking us to work with you, you agree to these terms. “We” and “us” mean Phxonix Studio. “You” means you and the business you act for. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Questions are welcome at hello@phxonix.studio.
What we do
We design websites, apps, brand identities and brochures. We do design only: we do not build or host websites and apps. We can hand your finished designs to your developer in a form they can use.
We use AI tools to speed up first drafts. A person reviews, rebuilds and finishes everything by hand before you see it as final.
Projects and proposals
Each project starts with a short written proposal that says what we will make, how many rounds of changes are included, the timeline and the price. We do not publish fixed prices because every project is different.
If you ask for something outside the proposal we will tell you what it changes in time and cost before we start on it. Nothing extra is charged without your agreement.
Payment
Payment terms are set in your proposal, usually a deposit before work starts and the balance when the final files are ready. Invoices are due by the date shown on them. We may pause work on an overdue invoice, and we release final files once everything is paid.
Feedback and approval
You get the number of revision rounds written in the proposal. Please send your feedback together, and in good time, so the project keeps moving. When you approve a stage in writing (an email is fine), we move on to the next one.
Who owns the work
- Once you have paid in full, you own the final designs we deliver to you.
- We keep our own working files, tools, templates and ideas that existed before your project, and we give you the right to use any of them inside the finished work.
- Fonts, stock images, icons and similar items come from other people and stay under their own licences. We will tell you which ones are used so you can license them.
- Because some parts may be produced with AI tools, the law on who owns purely AI-made material is still developing, and we cannot promise it can be protected in every country.
Showing our work
We would love to show finished work in our portfolio and on social media. If your project is confidential or you would rather we did not, tell us in writing when we begin and we will respect that.
What we need from you
You promise that anything you give us (logos, text, photos, ideas) is yours to use, or that you have permission, and that it does not break anyone else’s rights. You are responsible for how you use the finished designs.
Using this website
The words, pictures and designs on this site belong to Phxonix Studio or to the clients whose work is shown, with their permission. You may look, share a link and quote a little with credit. Please do not copy, resell or pass off our work as your own, scrape the site in bulk, or try to disrupt it.
Warranty and liability
We work carefully and we stand behind our work, but we cannot promise particular business results such as sales, rankings or traffic. The website is provided “as it is”.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, and our total responsibility for any one project is limited to the fees you paid us for it. Nothing here limits anything that the law does not allow us to limit.
Stopping a project
Either of us can end a project by writing to the other. You then pay for the work done up to that point, including any time already reserved for you, and we hand over the files for the parts you have paid for.
Law and disagreements
These terms follow the laws of India. If we disagree, let us talk first: most things are settled with one honest conversation. If that fails, the courts of India decide.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version. A project already running keeps the terms that applied when it began, unless we both agree otherwise in writing.
