Terms of Service

1. Scope and Acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of houseofhoma.com and any creative services provided by House of Hōma OÜ (“we”, “us”, “our”). By visiting the website or engaging our services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Services Offered

We provide creative consulting, design, and storytelling services as described on the website or in individual project proposals (“Project Briefs”). Specific deliverables, timelines, and fees are agreed in writing before work commences.

3. Client Obligations

• Provide accurate information and prompt feedback necessary to complete the Project.
• Respect intellectual-property rights and obtain any third-party licences required for supplied materials.
• Pay agreed invoices by the due date stated on each invoice.

4. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

• We retain ownership of drafts, concepts, and underlying source files. Upon full payment, you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use the final deliverables for the purposes defined in the Project Brief.
• You grant us a limited right to showcase the finished work in our portfolio which is optional, except where a separate NDA overrides this right. You reserve the right to revoke this permission at any time.

5. Fees and Payment

Prices are quoted in EUR and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise. Invoices are issued on the delivery date of the final work and are payable within 14 calendar days. If you exercise the cancellation right in Section 6, any invoice issued during that 14-day review window will be voided and, if already paid, fully refunded.

6. Cancellation and 14-Day Review Period

6.1 Free-Use Review Period.
Upon delivery of the final work you receive a 14-day review period. During this time you may use the deliverables in real conditions to evaluate fitness for purpose without payment becoming due.

6.2 Cancellation within 14 days.
If, for any reason, you decide the work is not suitable, you may cancel the Project by giving written notice within the 14-day window. We will issue a 100 % refund of any fees already paid and revoke the licence in Section 4. You must then cease all use of the deliverables and delete any copies in your possession.

6.3 Acceptance after 14 days.
If no cancellation notice is received within the review period, the work is deemed accepted, the invoice becomes immediately payable, and the licence in Section 4 becomes permanent (subject to full payment).

6.4 Cancellation after Acceptance.
Cancellations requested after the 14-day period are possible only by mutual agreement and may incur a pro-rated fee for work already rendered.

7. Warranty and Liability

I provide our services with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that, I don’t make promises I can’t keep. I'm not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, creative blocks, existential crises, or the spontaneous combustion of household pets while reading this website. My total liability is capped at the amount you paid me for the specific project in question. Nothing more, nothing less.

8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia. Any dispute will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules under Regulation (EU) 1215/2012.
