Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Studio Mare ("we", "us"), a web design studio operating from Ireland, reachable at contact@dunaai.dev. By using our site, submitting a briefing or purchasing a website, you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to these terms, we'll post the update here and, for active customers, give reasonable notice by email before it takes effect.

You must be at least 18 and, if you're buying for a business, you confirm you're authorised to bind that business.

Studio Mare designs, builds, publishes and hosts a one-page website for your business. You describe your business in our concierge chat; we generate a draft website — partly using AI, from the details you provide — and show it to you before you pay. When you check out, your site is published: first on a Studio Mare address (yourbusiness.studio-mare.dev), and on your own domain shortly after if you chose one.

Because drafts are generated partly with AI, they can contain mistakes. Review your preview before paying, and tell us about anything to fix after launch — content corrections are covered by the Care Plan. You are responsible for the accuracy of factual claims about your business (prices, qualifications, certifications, service areas) that appear on your site.

Checkout creates an account so you can manage your site and billing. Keep your login details safe and your contact email current — it's where your website link, enquiry notifications and billing messages go. You're responsible for activity under your account. Tell us straight away if you suspect unauthorised access.

• A one-off €209 setup fee for your website, charged at checkout.
• The Care Plan at €69/month (hosting, content edits, automatic backups and a monthly report), with the first 30 days free. It renews monthly until cancelled and is included with every site.
• If you ask us to register a domain, the first year's fee is shown and charged at checkout; renewals are billed annually at the then-current rate, notified in advance.

Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card details. Your Stripe receipt serves as your proof of payment. If a renewal payment fails we'll retry and email you before anything is taken offline. A chargeback on an active service may lead to suspension while we resolve it with you.

You can cancel the Care Plan anytime from your dashboard. If it lapses, your site may be taken offline after any remaining paid period plus a short grace period; we don't delete your content immediately (see section 10).

Your website is built and published within minutes of payment. Under EU consumer law (in Ireland, the Consumer Rights Act 2022), the 14-day right of withdrawal for services ends early when the service is fully performed with your prior express consent. That's why checkout asks you to tick a box confirming that you ask us to start immediately and acknowledge that once your website is delivered, the withdrawal right no longer applies to the setup fee.

• If you buy as a business (B2B), the consumer withdrawal right does not apply.
• The Care Plan can be cancelled at any time and the first 30 days are free — cancel within the trial and you pay nothing for it.
• Domain registrations are purchased in your name the moment we register them and, like all domain purchases, are non-refundable once registered.

None of this affects your statutory rights where the service wasn't delivered with reasonable skill and care — if something's wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.

When we register a domain for you, you are the registrant (owner). Registration data (name, address, email) is passed to the registrar and registry as ICANN rules require, and must be accurate. You can transfer your domain away at any time and we'll provide the authorisation code without charge. Registrations for some extensions (like .ie) have registry-specific requirements we'll help you through.

Addresses under studio-mare.dev remain ours. Your subdomain stays yours to use while your site is live with us; if your service ends we may reclaim it after a reasonable period.

While on the Care Plan, reasonable content edits (text, images, contact details, services and prices) are included — reply to our emails or request a change from your dashboard. "Reasonable" means the kind of ongoing upkeep a one-page site needs, not a rebuild. New pages, custom features or full redesigns are quoted separately.

Your site (and your use of our service) must not involve:

• anything unlawful, or services you're not legally allowed to offer;
• content that infringes someone else's rights — copyright, trademarks, privacy — including logos or photos you don't have the right to use;
• false or misleading claims: invented reviews or testimonials, fake credentials, qualifications or insurance you don't hold, or impersonating another business;
• malware, phishing, spam, or attempts to probe or disrupt our infrastructure;
• hateful, defamatory or adult content.

We may decline a briefing, remove specific content, or suspend a site that breaches this section — with notice and a chance to fix it except where the breach is serious or unlawful. We build honest websites; we won't publish fabricated social proof, and we may neutralise it where we find it.

Yours: your business information, logo, photos and the published content of your site are yours. You give us the licence we need to host, display, back up and edit that content in order to provide the service — and nothing more. We don't use your content to train AI models. If you leave, you can request a copy of your site content.

Ours: the Studio Mare platform — our templates, designs, code, software and brand — remains ours. Your purchase gives your business the right to have its website built on and served from our platform; it doesn't transfer the underlying template or code, and the same design system may serve other clients.

With your permission (never by default), we may mention your business and show your site in our portfolio — you can withdraw that permission at any time.

• You can leave anytime: cancel the Care Plan from your dashboard. Your site stays up through the paid period plus a short grace period.
• We may suspend for non-payment, a chargeback, or an acceptable-use breach — with notice where practical.
• After the service ends, we keep your content for a reasonable offboarding period (at least 30 days) so you can request an export or reactivate, then delete it from production systems, keeping only what tax and legal obligations require. Domains you own are unaffected — they're yours to transfer or point elsewhere.

We host on reputable infrastructure and aim to keep your site online continuously, but we can't promise uninterrupted availability. The service depends on third-party providers (hosting, DNS, payments, e-mail, AI), and events outside our reasonable control — outages, force majeure — can affect it. We'll act promptly to restore service when something breaks. Scheduled maintenance will be brief and, where possible, notified.

We provide the service with reasonable skill and care, but we can't guarantee specific business results — a website helps customers find and trust you; it doesn't guarantee enquiries. To the extent permitted by law: we're not liable for indirect or consequential loss (lost profits, lost business, loss of data caused by events outside our control), and our total liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with the service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under Irish law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory consumer rights.

If a third party brings a claim against us because content you supplied infringes their rights, or because of your breach of the acceptable-use section, you'll cover the reasonable costs and losses we incur as a result. This doesn't apply to consumers where such clauses aren't enforceable.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland and the Irish courts have jurisdiction. If you're a consumer, you keep any mandatory protections of the law of the country where you live, and disputes within the relevant limits can be brought in the Irish Small Claims procedure. First, though: email us — nearly everything can be fixed faster by talking.

• These terms plus the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us for the service.
• If any clause turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.
• Not enforcing a clause once doesn't waive our right to enforce it later.
• You need our consent to assign this agreement; we may assign it as part of a business transfer with notice, without reducing your rights.
• Sections that by their nature should survive (content ownership, liability, governing law) survive termination.
