Service Usage Terms
Acceptable Use
When using our website and services, you agree to: provide accurate information in all communications; use our services only for lawful purposes; respect our intellectual property and that of others; not interfere with the proper functioning of our website; and refrain from any activity that could harm our reputation or business.

You may not: attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems; use automated tools to scrape or collect data from our site; impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation; upload malicious code or content; or use our services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
Service Access
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our services at any time. We may also restrict access to certain features or services without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes when possible.
Communication and Projects
Project Inquiries
When you contact us about a potential project, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Initial consultations and discussions are exploratory and do not constitute a binding agreement until a formal project proposal is accepted in writing.
Confidentiality
We treat project discussions with discretion. However, please note that initial inquiry details shared through our website contact form are not covered by formal confidentiality agreements. For sensitive projects, we recommend discussing confidentiality terms before sharing detailed information.
Project Agreements
Formal project engagements are governed by separate project agreements that outline scope, deliverables, timelines, and payment terms. These Terms of Service apply to website usage and general interactions, while specific project terms are defined in individual contracts.
Service Availability
Website Uptime
While we strive to maintain consistent website availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Our website may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.
Service Modifications
We may update our services, pricing, and offerings at any time. Changes to active project agreements require mutual consent. Website content and service descriptions may be updated without prior notice.
Geographic Availability
Our services are available internationally. We work with clients across different time zones and accommodate remote collaboration. Specific availability for certain regions may be subject to local regulations.

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, and images, is owned by Pixelvine or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express permission.
Project Work
Intellectual property rights for project deliverables are defined in individual project agreements. Generally, upon full payment, clients receive agreed-upon rights to the completed work. We may retain certain rights for portfolio use unless otherwise specified.
Trademarks
Pixelvine and associated logos are our trademarks. Use of our trademarks requires prior written permission. References to other companies, products, or services are for identification purposes only and do not imply endorsement.
Fair Usage Guidelines
We expect all users and clients to engage with our services in good faith. This includes: responding to communications in a timely manner during active projects; providing necessary materials and feedback as agreed; respecting our team's time and expertise; and honoring agreed-upon payment schedules.
We reserve the right to decline or terminate services if these guidelines are not followed, or if we believe continued engagement would be detrimental to either party.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review these terms periodically.
