Terms & conditions

Last updated: 12 November 2026

1. About this website

This website presents the web design, development, redesign, debugging and maintenance services offered under the name AETHER Studio. By using the website, you accept these terms.

2. The provider

Services are provided by Samuel Renato Barone, a private individual in Romania, under the trading name AETHER Studio. Contact: studioaetherro [at] gmail.com.

3. Services and prices

Prices are shown in Romanian lei (RON), fixed and final for the scope described in each package. The provider is not VAT-registered.

Domain, hosting and any paid third-party services are not included and are paid directly to the providers.

Information on this website is not a binding offer. The exact scope, delivery time and payment terms are confirmed in writing before each project starts.

3.1 Care plans (AETHER Essential and AETHER Growth)

Care plans combine a one-time setup fee (building the website) with a monthly price for maintenance and improvements: AETHER Essential costs 800 RON + 300 RON/month and AETHER Growth 1,500 RON + 500 RON/month. Each plan has clear limits on time and changes, described on the Care plans page; unlimited changes, paid advertising, social media management and guarantees of Google rankings or customers are not included.

The website built during setup belongs to the client. When a plan ends, the client receives the website files and access to the domain and hosting, under the handover terms in the contract. The minimum term, notice period and billing are set in the contract before work begins. The domain, hosting and paid third-party services are not included.

4. Revisions and timelines

The Starter, Professional and Premium packages include two revision rounds, and the E-commerce package includes three. Estimated timelines (about 10, 15 and 20 days, and 30 days for E-commerce) start once the client's content has been received.

Changes beyond the two rounds, or changes to the agreed structure, are agreed and approved in advance.

5. Portfolio

The projects shown in the portfolio are independent concepts featuring fictional businesses, created to demonstrate the provider's skills. They are not client work and do not suggest any association with real businesses. The photography used is licensed stock imagery.

6. Intellectual property

The design, text and code of this website belong to the provider and may not be copied or reused without written consent. Rights to websites built for clients are transferred according to the contract agreed for each project.

7. Liability

The website is provided “as is”. I make every effort to keep the information accurate and up to date, but cannot guarantee it is free of errors. I'm not responsible for the content of external websites linked from here.

I make no guarantees about search engine rankings; SEO improves a website's structure, but results depend on external factors.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by Romanian law. Any disagreement is first settled amicably; otherwise, by the competent courts in Romania.

Consumers may contact the Romanian National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), anpc.ro.
