Effective Date: August 19, 2026
Last Updated: August 19, 2026
Welcome to The Quiet Loft Workshop (workshop.thequietloft.com). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, digital offerings, and custom web architectural services. By browsing this site, purchasing digital products, or engaging our studio for design and development services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Studio Scope & Services
The Quiet Loft Workshop is an independent digital craft practice operating out of Canada. Our work encompasses three primary operational disciplines:
- Content & Digital Art: Story-driven editorial hubs, holistic platforms, and narrative web design.
- Technical & Web3: Custom web applications, interactive tools, dynamic UIs, and Web3 integration.
- E-Commerce & Creator Shops: Custom Fourthwall storefront customization, print-on-demand (POD) merchandise styling, and digital product distribution engines.
All client engagements are subject to individual written project agreements or scope outlines that detail timelines, deliverables, and fees.
2. Client Engagements, Scoping & Payments
- Proposals & Scopes: Studio engagements begin with a mutual proposal detailing project milestones, technical specifications, and fee structures.
- Deposits & Milestones: Unless agreed otherwise in writing, client projects require a non-refundable deposit prior to commencing work. Remaining balance payments are tied to agreed-upon project milestones or final delivery.
- Deliverables & Approvals: Final sign-off on staging builds or design proofs signifies client approval of the work. Revisions requested outside the original project scope will be quoted as additional development hours.
3. Intellectual Property & Ownership
- Client Assets & Content: You retain full ownership of all copy, branding assets, logos, imagery, and proprietary data provided to the studio for your project.
- Custom Client Work: Upon full payment of all outstanding invoices, you own the final custom front-end code, bespoke graphics, and unique design layouts created specifically for your platform.
- Studio Tools & Frameworks: The Workshop retains ownership of pre-existing software libraries, reusable code components, boilerplates, internal workflow scripts, and generalized design frameworks used across client projects. You are granted a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use these embedded components within your delivered site.
4. Digital Products & Storefront Transactions
- Digital Products: Due to the immediate delivery nature of downloadable digital assets (stationery, software files, site templates), all digital product sales are final and non-refundable unless otherwise required by law or specified on the product page.
- Physical Merchandise & POD: Physical merchandise sold through studio storefronts (including platforms like Fourthwall) is fulfilled by third-party print-on-demand partners. Exchanges or refunds for damaged or misprinted physical goods are handled according to the specific fulfillment partner’s support policies.
5. Web3, Blockchain & Third-Party Protocols
For technical builds involving Web3 wallet connections, smart contract interfaces, or decentralized network features:
- Third-Party Networks: Blockchain networks and decentralized protocols operate independently of the Workshop. We are not responsible for network gas fees, network congestion, smart contract execution errors on third-party protocols, or wallet provider software failures.
- User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for securing your digital wallets, private keys, and seed phrases. The studio will never ask for your private keys.
6. Hosting, Maintenance & Third-Party Services
- External Dependencies: Web platforms often rely on third-party services (e.g., domain registrars, hosting platforms, payment processors, API providers, Fourthwall, WooCommerce extensions). The Workshop is not liable for service outages, policy shifts, or platform disruptions caused by third-party vendors.
- Post-Launch Maintenance: Site maintenance, core updates, and security monitoring following project handover are the responsibility of the client, unless an ongoing maintenance retainer with the studio is active.
7. Limitation of Liability
The website and all studio services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Quiet Loft Workshop disclaims all warranties, express or implied.
In no event shall the studio be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from site unavailability, data loss, third-party platform changes, or business interruptions. Total liability under any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you to the studio for the specific service in question.
8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal proceedings arising from these Terms or studio engagements shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Canada.
