The signing of a quotation (sent by e-mail, fax, post or hand-delivered) implies unreserved acceptance of these terms and conditions of sale, which are intended to govern the contracts concluded between LUWN Agency and its Clients.

Article 1: Definitions
“LUWN Agency” refers to the company LUWN Agency, SIRET 88199875100013 located at Calle del Castillo – 15A / 38002 Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain – Canary Islands).

“Client” refers to any individual or legal entity signing a quote issued by LUWN Agency.

Article 2: Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the general terms and conditions of sale and the terms and conditions under which LUWN Agency provides services to its Clients. These general terms and conditions of sale comprise 15 articles.

The main characteristics of the services offered by LUWN Agency are detailed on the website accessible at www.luwn.net, which the Client acknowledges having read.

Quotations act as purchase orders, in paper or electronic format, and together with the present document constitute the contracts between LUWN Agency and its customers.

Article 3: Duration of LUWN Agency’s offers
The contract is taken out for a period of one year from the date it takes effect, as defined in article 9 below.

In the case of recurring services (digital marketing management, website maintenance, etc.), the contract will be renewed by tacit agreement under the same terms.

Article 4: Terms of use of LUWN Agency services

Concerning all the work:
Transfer of ownership
LUWN Agency undertakes to transfer to the Customer, once the service has been paid for in full by the Customer, all its intellectual property rights to the work carried out on behalf of the Customer (creation, identifiers, source code, databases, etc.).

References
The Client authorizes LUWN Agency to quote on its own communication media (website, brochures, etc.) the elements (name, logo, etc.) that identify the Client for reference purposes.

If the customer does not wish to be mentioned as a reference, he will have to pay a fee of €1,000 excluding VAT, to keep the contract entirely private.

Provisional schedule
In the event that LUWN Agency provides the Customer with a work schedule, this is provisional and takes particular account of: a response time from the Customer of less than 2 working days to all e-mails from the agency; a maximum of 3 return visits to the functionalities.

In addition, any delay in the delivery of content in relation to the schedule initially agreed verbally or in writing will have an impact on the overall duration of the project. The customer may not complain about late delivery if the contents have not been delivered in their entirety within the original delivery period.

A. Concerning website creation :
A.1 – Domain names and hosting
LUWN Agency does not verify the legality of the domain names entrusted to it and the Client certifies that he is the owner of the rights (trademark, etc.) necessary for the purchase and management of the domain name(s). The Customer is the owner of the domain name reserved for him/her, LUWN Agency acting only as a technical intermediary with the naming organizations. The Customer agrees to register and use the domain name in accordance with current legislation and the legal rights of third parties. LUWN Agency cannot be held responsible for the unavailability of an ordered domain name.

However, LUWN Agency offers the possibility of managing web hosting and domain names for a service fee, for hosting and related services (email boxes, domain names, etc.).

A.2 – Specifications
In order to carry out the projects, the Client must send LUWN Agency precise and exhaustive technical specifications. On this basis, LUWN Agency will draw up an estimate which will become the reference document for the project. Items mentioned in the expression of need, the specifications or verbally, but not explicitly mentioned in the quotation, are not included in the project scope. In the absence of details in the quotation, LUWN Agency will make the technical and functional choices according to its experience, without these being contestable by the Client.

A.3 – Website
Whenever necessary, LUWN Agency will submit to the Client “mock-ups” of the work to be supplied, showing its visual appearance.

Mock-ups will be made using the time specified in the quotation, with a maximum of 3 iterations per mock-up, unless otherwise specified in the quotation. In the event of additional iterations, an additional estimate will be drawn up by LUWN Agency, subject to acceptance by the Customer. If the additional estimate is rejected, work will continue on the basis of the customer’s validation of one of the versions of the mock-ups already produced.

Once the customer has accepted the mock-ups (by e-mail, fax or post), any request to modify the visual and functional aspect of the projects concerned will be subject to an additional quotation, subject to the customer’s acceptance. If the additional estimate is rejected, the work will continue on the basis of the Customer’s initial validation.

A.4 – Contract approval and amendment
If for any reason the Client, during the performance of the contract, validates work carried out by LUWN Agency (by telephone, e-mail, fax or post) and subsequently reverses its decision, such request or objection will lead LUWN Agency to draw up an additional estimate for the extra work involved, subject to the Client’s acceptance. If the additional estimate is rejected, the work will continue on the basis of the Customer’s initial validation.

If, for any reason whatsoever, the Customer should, during the course of the contract, formulate a new request that does not comply with the specifications or an objection that calls into question the work already carried out, such a request or objection will lead LUWN Agency to draw up an additional estimate, subject to the Customer’s acceptance. If the additional estimate is rejected, work will continue on the basis of the original scope.

A.5 – Browser and mobile device compatibility
The websites set up by LUWN Agency function correctly on the latest versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers (version current at the date of signature of the contract), with rendering differences necessarily remaining. LUWN Agency cannot guarantee the compatibility of the site developed on all browsers and mobile devices. In particular, LUWN Agency does not guarantee the compatibility of the site developed on Internet Explorer (a browser not recommended by its publisher, Microsoft, as it does not support the new web standards).

It takes several weeks from the time a site goes online to its appearance in search engine results. LUWN Agency cannot guarantee any delay or search engine ranking.

A.6 – Dysfunction guarantee
LUWN Agency will correct any bugs or malfunctions identified and reported by the Customer within one month of the website going online. Changes notified after this deadline will be subject to an additional quotation, subject to customer acceptance.

A.7 – Updating the site
LUWN Agency may intervene after delivery of the site within the framework of a maintenance contract or invoicing on a time spent basis. Any intervention on site other than the repair of malfunctions described above will be invoiced separately.

A.8 – Backup
LUWN Agency does not keep backups of websites and other work carried out for its Clients. In the event of data loss, LUWN Agency is under no obligation to restore any data that may be lost. However, in order to offer our customers an option for backing up and protecting their data, we offer an additional service. Customers can subscribe to our secure backup service, for a fee that depends on the size and complexity of their project. With this option, LUWN can create backup copies of your site and store them on secure servers around the world. This solution guarantees the availability of your data in the event of technical problems or unforeseen losses, offering additional peace of mind.

B. Concerning Google Ads campaigns:
B.1 – Google Ads budget and Ads personalization:
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the budget specified in this contract includes campaign expenses for Google Ads. LUWN Agency undertakes to use reasonable efforts to personalize advertisements to target them to appropriate persons who may be interested in the Client’s services.

Article 5: Obligations and responsibilities of the Customer
Data supplied by the Customer
The Customer shall supply all text content in electronic format (Word, Powerpoint or e-mail file). Audio and video material will be supplied in digital format.

The data sent must be final versions. Any request to modify site content already integrated into the site will be billed by the hour at a rate of €50 (excl. VAT) per hour spent.

The Client undertakes to cooperate actively with LUWN Agency by providing it with the information necessary to carry out the commissioned work. In the event of non-compliance with this commitment, LUWN Agency reserves the right to terminate the service after 3 written reminders (by email, fax or post) and 3 months from the signature of the quotation.

Article 7: Data processing
LUWN Agency and the Customer undertake to keep confidential all information and documents concerning the other party, of any nature whatsoever, whether financial, technical, social or commercial, to which they may have had access in the course of performing the service. The foregoing provision shall not prevent LUWN Agency from mentioning in its advertising or commercial documents or commercial offers all orders carried out, with the possibility of mentioning the Client’s company name and the purpose of the service. This possibility does not confer on LUWN Agency any right whatsoever over the Client’s trademarks other than those mentioned above.

If LUWN Agency is required to process data on behalf of the Client, such processing will be carried out as a subcontractor of the Client. LUWN Agency may only be held liable in this capacity.

Personal data provided by the Customer (e-mail address, telephone number, etc.) may be used by LUWN Agency for communication purposes (sending of newsletters, sales proposals, etc.). Personal data can be deleted at the customer’s request by e-mail to contact@luwn.net.

Article 8: No poaching
Each of the parties agrees not to make direct or indirect offers of employment to any employee of the other party who has worked on the services covered by the contract, or to take such employee into its service, under any status whatsoever, without prior written agreement. This waiver is valid for a period of three years from the date of the collaborator’s intervention.
