How We Keep Things Clear, Fair, and Collaborative
We believe good work starts with good communication, and that includes being upfront about how we operate. These terms outline the basics: what you can expect from us, what we expect from you, and how we handle the practical stuff like timelines, payments and responsibilities. It’s not about fine print, it’s about building trust, setting clear boundaries, and making sure we’re aligned from day one.

We provide a complimentary introductory call to discuss potential projects, strategies, or collaborations. The free call is designed to:
Understand your needs and goals.
Share how our services may be a fit.
Offer initial guidance without obligation.

Calls are used for purposes unrelated to our services.
Behavior is abusive, offensive, or disruptive.
Calls are limited in duration (typically 60 minutes) to respect both parties’ time.
2.4 Recording & Confidentiality
Calls may not be recorded, shared, or redistributed without prior written consent from Compagnons Nation SRL.
We treat all discussions as confidential, but the free call does not establish a formal client relationship or create binding obligations.
2.5 No Guarantee of Engagement
Participation in a free call does not obligate either party to enter into a contract.
Any subsequent collaboration will be subject to a separate written agreement (see Section 3: Service Contracts & Engagement Terms).
3. Service Contracts & Engagement Terms
3.1 Formation of Contract
A binding contract is established once both parties sign a written agreement (proposal, statement of work, or service contract).
Email confirmations or verbal discussions do not constitute a binding agreement until formalised in writing.
In the event of any dispute or legal proceedings arising from this contract, the agreement shall be legally translated into Romanian for submission before Romanian authorities.
The cost of such translation shall be borne by the party initiating the proceedings, unless otherwise determined by the competent authority.
For clarity, the Romanian translation will be used as the authoritative version in all legal contexts.
3.2 Scope of Work
The scope of services will be clearly defined in the contract or proposal.
Any work outside the agreed scope will require a written amendment or a new agreement.
Deliverables, milestones, and responsibilities will be specified to avoid ambiguity.
3.3 Pricing & Payment Terms
Fees are agreed in advance and stated in the contract.
Unless otherwise specified, the standard payment structure is:
50% upfront before work begins.
50% upon delivery of final deliverables.
Payments must be made within the timeframe stated in the invoice (typically 14 days).
Late payments may incur statutory interest as permitted under EU law.
3.4 Delivery & Timelines
We commit to delivering services within the agreed timelines.
Delays caused by the client (e.g., missing content, delayed approvals, lack of feedback) may extend deadlines without penalty to Compagnons Nation SRL.
If unforeseen circumstances arise, both parties will agree in writing on revised timelines.
3.5 Intellectual Property Rights
Upon full payment, ownership of final deliverables transfers to the client.
Compagnons Nation SRL retains ownership of any pre‑existing intellectual property, frameworks, or tools used in the project.
Unless otherwise agreed, we reserve the right to showcase completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials.
3.6 Amendments & Change Requests
Contracts may be amended to reflect evolving project needs.
All amendments must be agreed in writing by both parties.
Additional work outside the original scope may be subject to additional fees.
3.7 Termination of Contract
Either party may terminate the contract with written notice under the conditions specified in the agreement.
The client remains responsible for payment of all work completed up to the termination date.
The initial advance payment of 50% is non‑refundable, as it secures the project slot and covers preparatory work.
Prepaid fees for work not yet performed (beyond the non‑refundable advance) may be refunded at our discretion.
3.8 Liability & Warranties
We provide services with reasonable skill and care but do not guarantee specific business outcomes (e.g., revenue growth, search engine rankings).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the total amount paid under the contract.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including loss of profits, business interruption, or data loss.
3.9 Project‑Specific Terms
While these Terms & Conditions outline our general framework for engagement, the specific terms of each project are determined in the legally binding contract signed between Compagnons Nation SRL and the client. This contract will set out, among other things:
The precise scope of work and deliverables.
Project timelines and milestones.
Applicable fees, including any additional charges for out‑of‑scope work or special requirements.
Project‑specific responsibilities of both parties.
Any amendments or variations agreed during the course of the engagement.
In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms & Conditions and the signed contract, the provisions of the contract shall prevail.
3.10 Maintenance and Managed Maintenance Services
Unless expressly stated otherwise, maintenance and managed maintenance services are not included in any project contract.
These services are offered separately and are governed by a distinct contract, based on the service subscription period agreed with the client (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or annual plans).
The scope, pricing, and conditions of maintenance or managed maintenance will be defined in that separate agreement.
Project contracts cover only the design, development, or consulting deliverables specified in the scope of work and do not extend to ongoing updates, monitoring, or support unless explicitly contracted.
We do not permit hosting or distribution of adult content, gambling/betting platforms, or any other material that is inappropriate or harmful.
We strictly prohibit all illegal content, including but not limited to child exploitation, violent material, or any activity that violates applicable laws.
If such prohibited or illegal activity is detected on our managed maintenance plan, we will immediately notify the relevant authorities.
In addition, we reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings to protect our reputation and recover damages. The value of such damages is contractually determined at 50,000 € per breach.
3.11 Client Legal Status & Accountability
Clients requesting a project from Compagnons Nation SRL are required by law to operate through a registered legal entity (such as a company, association, or other legally recognized organization).
By entering into discussions or contracts with us, clients confirm that the information they provide regarding their legal entity is accurate and valid.
In the event that false or misleading information is provided, we reserve the right to pursue legal action against the individual(s) responsible. Such action may include recovery of the full value of the project as well as damages calculated by the loss of business, including the time and resources already invested in the project.
Compagnons Nation SRL is never accountable for any illegal actions carried out by its clients. Responsibility for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards rests solely with the client.
