Terms & Conditions

1. Who we are

Algave is a marketing studio providing paid advertising, website creation, video editing and branding services, based in Switzerland. You can reach us at guarnieridigital@gmail.com.

2. Services and quotes

The services and prices shown on this website are indicative and for general information only. Every engagement is defined by a written quote or proposal that we provide and that you accept. Prices are stated in Swiss francs (CHF) and exclude applicable taxes and third-party costs unless expressly stated otherwise.

Unless otherwise stated, a quote remains valid for 30 days from its date. We may decline any request at our discretion.

3. Engagement and acceptance

A binding agreement is formed when you accept our quote in writing (including by email) and, where applicable, pay the agreed deposit. Work begins only after acceptance and receipt of any deposit.

4. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide, in a timely manner, all content, materials, information, approvals and access we reasonably require, and to ensure they are accurate and lawful and that you hold the necessary rights to them.

Domain names, hosting and third-party tools are purchased in your name and remain owned by you, and you are responsible for their credentials and costs. Advertising budget (ad spend) is paid by you directly to the advertising platforms and is separate from our fees. Delays or omissions on your side may extend timelines and increase costs.

5. Fees and payment

For one-time projects, a deposit is payable upfront and the balance is due on delivery or at the milestones set out in the quote. Memberships are billed monthly in advance. All invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice.

If payment is overdue, we may suspend or stop work without liability and charge default interest at the applicable statutory rate. Ad spend and other third-party charges are billed separately by those providers.

6. Revisions and changes of scope

The number of revision rounds included is set out in the quote. Additional revisions or work outside the agreed scope are quoted and charged separately. Any change to the agreed scope must be agreed in writing.

7. Deliverables, ownership and intellectual property

Upon full payment of all sums due, ownership of the final deliverables prepared specifically for you transfers to you. This does not include third-party or licensed assets (fonts, stock, plugins, platforms), or our pre-existing tools, code, frameworks, methods and know-how, which remain the property of us or the respective owners and may be licensed to you for use in the deliverables.

Unless you ask us not to in writing, we may reference and display completed work in our portfolio and marketing.

8. Third-party platforms

Our services often rely on third-party platforms (for example Meta, Google, hosting and plugin providers). We are not responsible for those platforms, their availability, pricing, policy changes, account reviews or suspensions, and any such matters are subject to the third party's own terms.

9. No guarantee of results

We perform our services with reasonable skill and care. Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control. We do not warrant or guarantee any specific results, rankings, reach, leads, revenue or advertising performance. After handover, websites and materials are provided on an “as is” basis.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with a service is limited to the fees you paid us for that specific service in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill or data. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim, loss or cost arising from the content or materials you provide, from your instructions, or from your use of the deliverables.

12. Confidentiality

Each party will keep confidential the non-public information of the other party disclosed in connection with the engagement and use it only for the purpose of the engagement.

13. Term and termination

Either party may terminate for material breach that is not remedied within 14 days of written notice. Memberships may be cancelled monthly with effect from the next billing cycle; fees for the current period are non-refundable. On termination you must pay for all work performed up to the termination date.

14. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the CISG. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is the competent courts at our registered seat in Switzerland, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rules.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time your engagement is agreed applies to that engagement.
