Introduction
Welcome to
Sócrates Creative Studio.
These Terms and Conditions govern access to
and use of our website, content, platforms,
forms, communications and professional
services.
When a service is contracted through a
proposal, quotation, work order, contract,
specific agreement or commercial document,
the specific conditions contained in that
document will prevail over these general
conditions in the event of any conflict.
✦
Our principle is simple:
human creativity, purposeful technology
and transparent business relationships.
01

By accessing, browsing or using this website,

extent that they apply to your use of the site.
A service engagement will be considered
confirmed when there is express acceptance of
a proposal, quotation, contract, work order,
agreed payment or another acceptance mechanism
used by both parties.
If you do not agree with these terms, you may
stop using the website or contact us before
engaging our services.

03
Proposals, quotations and projects
Commercial proposals may define scope,
objectives, deliverables, stages, pricing,
payment terms, included revisions,
responsibilities and estimated timelines.
Additional work outside the originally approved
scope may be quoted and contracted separately.
Material changes requested after approval of a
project stage may affect timelines, costs and
project planning.
Acceptance of a proposal means that the client
understands and accepts its scope and specific
conditions.
04
Pricing, billing and payments
Prices, currency, applicable taxes, payment
methods, deposits, installments and due dates
will be communicated in each proposal or
engagement.
Depending on the service, payment arrangements
may include:
-
One-time payment.
-
Deposit and balance.
-
Milestone payments.
-
Monthly plans.
-
Annual renewals.
-
Recurring services or subscriptions.
Recurring services must remain current in
order to continue uninterrupted unless
expressly agreed otherwise.
05
Timelines and delivery
Project and delivery timelines are based on
the agreed scope, resource availability and
the timely receipt of materials, content,
approvals and responses from the client.
If the client delays information, materials,
access credentials or approvals required for
the project, planned dates may be adjusted.
When a project depends on platforms, APIs,
suppliers, hosting services, domains,
external tools or third-party approval
processes, timelines may also be affected by
circumstances outside our control.
06
Client responsibilities
To enable us to properly provide our services,
the client agrees to provide the information,
materials and access credentials required for
the project in a timely manner.
The client represents that it has the necessary
rights or permissions for any text,
photographs, videos, trademarks, databases,
documents or other materials supplied for use
in a project.
The client is also responsible for reviewing
and approving content, data, configurations,
designs and deliverables before final
publication whenever the project workflow
provides for such approval.
07
Intellectual property
Designs, developments and materials created
specifically for a client will be subject to
the intellectual property terms set out in the
relevant proposal or contract.
Unless otherwise agreed, transfer of rights
relating to final deliverables may be
conditional upon full payment of the related
services.
Tools, methodologies, systems, reusable
components, libraries, frameworks, base code,
know-how, structures, techniques, templates
and pre-existing resources used to produce a
project may remain the property of their
respective owners.
Third-party resources such as fonts,
photographs, plugins, software, music, video,
APIs, templates or platforms are subject to
their own licenses.
08
Use of artificial intelligence
Certain creative, technical, strategic or
production processes may incorporate artificial
intelligence tools to support professional
work.
These technologies may be used for research,
ideation, analysis, programming assistance,
automation, generation of alternatives,
visual production, content optimization or
other project-related activities.
Our approach seeks to maintain human
supervision, creative judgment and review
over the solutions we develop.
AI
Designed by humans. Powered by AI.
Technology expands our capabilities;
judgment and direction remain human.
09
Third-party services and platforms
Our projects may integrate third-party
solutions including hosting, domains, email,
social networks, payment services, APIs,
software, plugins, cloud platforms, analytics,
artificial intelligence and other services.
These services are subject to their own terms,
policies, availability, pricing and changes.
We do not control technical, commercial or
contractual decisions independently made by
those providers.
10
Cancellations, suspension and refunds
Cancellation, suspension and refund conditions
will depend on the nature of the service and
the specific conditions agreed with the client.
Where work has already begun, completed work,
hours performed, licenses purchased, activated
services, third-party costs and completed
project stages may be considered when
determining any outstanding balance or refund.
Nothing in these conditions is intended to
exclude mandatory rights available to clients
or consumers under applicable law.
11
Warranties and operation
We work to deliver professional solutions in
accordance with the approved scope and
specifications.
Digital environments constantly evolve.
Updates to browsers, operating systems,
plugins, servers, platforms, APIs or external
services may subsequently affect how a project
operates.
Future maintenance, support or adaptation is
included only where it forms part of the
contracted service or an active support plan.
12
Limitation of liability
Sócrates Creative Studio will be responsible
for its own services within the limits
established by applicable law and the relevant
contractual terms.
Except where the law provides otherwise,
we are not responsible for interruptions,
losses or damages directly caused by systems,
platforms, providers, infrastructure or
third-party services outside our control.
We also cannot guarantee specific commercial
outcomes, sales levels, rankings, audience,
conversions or profitability when those
outcomes depend on multiple external factors.
13
Confidentiality
When we receive confidential information
required to perform a project, we will seek
to use it only for purposes related to the
relevant service.
Where a project requires specific
confidentiality conditions, these may be
formalized through a non-disclosure agreement
or additional contractual provisions.
14
Privacy and personal data
The processing of personal information
relating to our website and services is
explained in greater detail in our Privacy
Policy.
When you use forms, request information or
engage our services, certain information may
be required to respond, manage projects,
communicate with you or fulfill commercial
obligations.

necessary because of changes to our services,
technologies, procedures or legal requirements.
The current version will be published on this
website together with the date of its latest
revision.
Existing projects and contracts will continue
to be governed by their specific conditions
unless the parties expressly agree to amend
them.
