Terms of service

01Who you are dealing with

This website is operated by Sleek Duck, a creative studio based in Romania producing 3D ads, brand visuals and websites. In these terms, “the studio”, “we” and “us” mean Sleek Duck; “you” means whoever is using the site.

02What this website is

It is a portfolio and a way to get in touch. Nothing more.

Nothing on this site is a binding offer to sell anything, and nothing on it forms a contract. The work shown is a record of projects that have been made; it is not a promise that any particular result will be repeated for you.

You may browse, read and share links to this site freely. You do not need an account, because there isn't one.

03Quotes and pricing

There is no price list on this site, and no price shown anywhere on it is fixed. Every project is quoted individually, because scope, complexity and timeline differ every time.

The budget ranges in the booking form exist to start a conversation, not to set a price. Selecting one does not commit you to spending it and does not commit the studio to working within it.

A price is only real when it is given to you in writing for a defined scope. That written quote holds for the scope it describes; if the scope changes, the price is re-agreed before the extra work begins. Unless the quote says otherwise, amounts are exclusive of any taxes that apply.

04Sending an enquiry

When you use the booking form you agree that the details you give are accurate, that you are entitled to give them, and that you are enquiring on behalf of yourself or of a business you are authorised to represent.

Sending an enquiry does not oblige you to buy anything, and does not oblige the studio to take the project on. Work is accepted at the studio's discretion, and an enquiry may be declined without giving a reason.

Please do not send confidential material with a first enquiry. If a project needs it, a confidentiality agreement can be signed first — just ask.

05How a project actually starts

A project exists once, and only once, all of these are true:

• a written scope, timeline and price has been sent to you;
• you have accepted it in writing; and
• any deposit stated in it has been paid, where one is stated.

That written agreement governs the work — including deliverables, revision checkpoints, payment terms, delivery dates and what happens if either side needs to stop. Where it and this page disagree, the written agreement wins.

06Intellectual property

This site and its contents

The design, text, code, renders, videos and images on this site belong to Sleek Duck or to the clients the work was made for, and are protected by copyright. You may not copy, republish, resell, or use them to train a machine-learning model, or present them as your own work, without written permission.

Linking to the site, or quoting a short passage with credit, is fine and welcome.

Work made for you

Rights in commissioned work transfer as set out in the written agreement for that project — ordinarily on full payment. Until a project is paid in full, delivered files remain the property of the studio.

Unless the agreement says otherwise, the studio may show finished work in its portfolio and on social media. If a project needs to stay private, say so before it starts and it will be kept out of the portfolio.

What you send

Anything you supply — logos, product photos, brand assets, copy — stays yours. By sending it, you confirm you have the right to use it and to let the studio use it for your project, and you accept responsibility for that being true.

07Acceptable use

Please do not:

• use the booking form to send spam, advertising or automated submissions;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its host, or any connected service;
• scrape, mirror or bulk-download the site's media;
• use the site in a way that breaks the law or interferes with anyone else using it.

Automated submissions are filtered, and abusive traffic may be blocked.

08Third-party services and links

The site relies on a small number of outside services — a hosting provider, Google Fonts for typefaces, and Web3Forms to deliver booking form submissions by email. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, and their availability is not under the studio's control.

Where the site links out to another website, that site's content is not the studio's responsibility.

09Availability and accuracy

The site is provided as it is. Reasonable care is taken to keep it accurate and online, but no guarantee is given that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that everything on it is current at the moment you read it.

Pages may change or be removed without notice. Portfolio work is shown as delivered at the time, and does not represent a service level for future projects.

10Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the studio is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website — including lost profit, lost business or lost data.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Liability for commissioned work is dealt with in that project's written agreement, not here.

11Privacy

How personal data is handled is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms. In short: what you type into the form is used to reply to you, it is not sold, and you can have it deleted by asking.

12Governing law

These terms are governed by Romanian law, and the courts of Romania have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the EU, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

13Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated. The version in force is the one published here, with the date at the top of this page. Changes are not applied retroactively to a project already agreed in writing.

This version has effect from 5 September 2026.
