Terms of service
The terms governing use of the Areza website and the services delivered by AI Merge Studio LTD.
Last updated
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to the website at areza.digital and any services delivered by AI Merge Studio LTD (Company No. 16370224, Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk, IP28 7DE, United Kingdom), trading as Areza (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using this site or engaging us for services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Use of the website
You may read, share, and link to anything on this site. You may quote our articles with attribution. You may not republish content wholesale, scrape the site at high volume, attempt to circumvent security measures, or use the site to transmit malware, spam, or unlawful content.
2. Our services
We offer the following services, described on our services pages:
- AI & automation: AI assistants and automated workflows.
- Brand & digital design: brand identity, website design, and interfaces.
- Websites & platforms: business websites and online shops.
- Digital products: MVPs, customer portals, and custom digital products.
- Connected systems: CRM, API, and business systems integration.
- Support & growth: maintenance, support, and improvements after launch.
When you engage us for any service, we sign a separate written agreement (the “Services Agreement”) that sets out scope, deliverables, schedule, fees, payment terms, acceptance criteria, and any service-specific conditions. Where these Terms conflict with a Services Agreement, the Services Agreement takes precedence for that engagement.
3. Pricing, payment, and VAT
- All prices we quote are in EUR.
- AI Merge Studio LTD is not registered for UK VAT and does not charge VAT on its invoices.
- For business clients outside the United Kingdom, including in the EU, our services are taxed where you are established: you account for any VAT due under the reverse-charge rules of your country. This stays the same if we register for UK VAT.
- If we register for UK VAT, clients in the United Kingdom and private clients will be charged UK VAT where the law requires it, and we will give existing clients at least 30 days’ notice before the change takes effect on ongoing engagements.
- Upfront fees set out in the Services Agreement are invoiced on signature and are payable before work begins, unless otherwise agreed.
- Monthly retainer fees are invoiced in advance, payable within 7 days of invoice date.
- Late payments accrue statutory interest under the UK Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, currently the Bank of England base rate plus 8%.
4. Cancellation and termination
- Fixed-fee projects: cancellation after work has begun means you pay for work completed to that point. Refunds are not given for completed phases.
- Monthly services: month-to-month after any initial setup. Either party may terminate with 30 days’ written notice. We hand over data and credentials within 14 days of termination.
- Material breach: either party may terminate immediately if the other commits a material breach that is not cured within 14 days of written notice.
5. Intellectual property
- Site content: text, code, and visuals on areza.digital are owned by AI Merge Studio LTD or our licensors. You may not copy or republish without permission.
- Client deliverables: once you have paid the agreed fees in full, you own the deliverables produced under the Services Agreement (source code, designs, copy, configurations) for use in your business. We retain the right to reference the work in our portfolio and case studies, with anonymisation if requested.
- Pre-existing IP and tooling: we retain all rights in our pre-existing tools, frameworks, internal libraries, and methodology. Where our tools are embedded in deliverables, you receive a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them as part of the deliverable.
- Third-party services: services we integrate (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare, n8n) remain governed by their own licences. Their fees, where pass-through, are itemised in your invoice.
6. Warranties and disclaimers
- We deliver services with reasonable skill and care, in line with industry standards for a small specialist team.
- We do not guarantee specific business outcomes (e.g. search visibility, conversion rate, lead volume, or time saved). Examples and figures shown on the site are illustrative, not contractual.
- The website is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. Content is informational, not professional advice.
- Third-party AI models (e.g. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT) are used as part of certain services. Their outputs may contain errors, biases, or inaccuracies, and are subject to the model provider’s terms. We tune for quality but do not warrant that AI outputs will be error-free.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Neither party is liable for indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.
- Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from a Services Agreement is limited to the total fees paid by you to us under that Agreement in the 12 months preceding the claim.
- Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (e.g. fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence).
8. Confidentiality and data protection
Each party will keep confidential any non-public information shared during an engagement and use it only for the purposes of the engagement. Personal data we process on your behalf is handled in line with our Privacy Policy and, for client engagements, a Data Processing Agreement signed alongside the Services Agreement.
9. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including (without limitation) major outages of cloud providers, internet backbone failures, war, epidemic, government action, or natural disaster. Affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any Services Agreement are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except that we may bring proceedings to enforce payment in any jurisdiction where you have assets.
For EU consumers, this does not displace mandatory protections under the law of your country of residence.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes are noted on this page with a new “last updated” date. For changes that affect ongoing engagements, we give 30 days’ notice; you may terminate within that period if you do not accept the change.
