Terms of Service

These terms govern the working relationship between Akos Digital Services ("the Studio", "I", "me") and any individual or business ("the Client", "you") that commissions design, development, or related digital work. By requesting a quote, approving a proposal, paying a deposit, or otherwise engaging my services, you accept these terms.

Where a signed proposal or written agreement conflicts with anything here, the signed document takes precedence for that particular project.

Akos Digital Services is a solo studio based in Athens, Greece. Correspondence address: Epidamnou 21, 11254, Athens, Greece. All enquiries can be sent to [email protected].

I provide website design and development, e-commerce, booking and CRM systems, brand and interface design, AI automations, and related consulting. The exact scope of any engagement is set out in the individual proposal or quote agreed for that project. Anything not listed there is treated as out of scope and may be quoted separately.

Quotes are based on the information you provide and stay valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. A project is confirmed once you approve the proposal in writing and pay any agreed deposit. Significant changes to the brief after confirmation may affect both the price and the timeline.

Prices are quoted in euros and, unless noted, exclude applicable taxes and third-party costs such as hosting, domains, plugins, stock media, and fonts.

Unless a proposal says otherwise, an upfront deposit is required before work begins, with the balance due on completion and before final files are handed over or the project is deployed. Invoices are payable within the period shown on them. Overdue payments may pause work and, where the law allows, accrue statutory interest.

You agree to supply, in good time, the content, materials, access, and feedback needed to complete the project, and to confirm you hold the rights to any text, images, or other assets you provide. You are responsible for reviewing deliverables and confirming they are correct before launch. Delays in providing materials or approvals may extend the agreed timeline.

Any timeline in a proposal is a good-faith estimate that depends on prompt feedback, content, and payment from you. I am not responsible for delays caused by factors outside my control, including third-party providers.

Each proposal states how many rounds of revisions are included. Reasonable revisions within the agreed scope are part of the project; requests that go beyond the original brief are treated as additional work and quoted accordingly.

Until a project is paid in full, all designs, code, and materials I produce remain my property. On receipt of final payment, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you passes to you, with two exceptions: (a) third-party components, which stay under their own licences; and (b) my own pre-existing tools, libraries, and know-how, which I keep and may reuse.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, I may show the finished work in my portfolio and reference you as a client.

Projects often rely on third-party services and software (for example hosting, payment providers, and open-source libraries). These are governed by their own terms, and I am not responsible for their availability, changes, or costs. Ongoing subscriptions and licences are your responsibility unless we agree that I manage them for you.

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information shared during a project and to use it only for that project. This does not apply to information that is already public or that must be disclosed by law.

Personal data you submit through my forms or share during a project is used only to respond to you and deliver the work, and is never sold. Where I process personal data on your behalf, we will agree appropriate terms in line with applicable data-protection law, including the GDPR.

Work is delivered on a reasonable-effort basis. Beyond any specific warranty stated in a proposal, deliverables are provided "as is", without guarantees of uninterrupted or error-free operation, of particular commercial results, or of compatibility with every future device or third-party update.

To the extent permitted by law, my total liability arising from any project is limited to the fees you paid for that project. I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, data, or business, however they arise.

You agree to hold me harmless from claims arising out of materials you supply or instructions you give (for example, content that infringes someone else's rights), except where the claim is caused by my own fault.

Either party may end a project in writing. If you cancel, work completed and costs incurred up to that point remain payable, and any non-refundable deposit is retained. I may pause or end a project if invoices go unpaid, or if continuing would be unlawful or unreasonable.

These terms are governed by the laws of Greece. Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably falls under the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Athens.

If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.

I may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you engage my services is the one that applies to your project.

Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected], or by post to Epidamnou 21, 11254, Athens, Greece.
