1. About Aescent

Aescent Web Studio ("Aescent," "we," "us," or "our") is a web studio based in Laguna, Philippines. The Website presents our studio, work, and services for prospective clients and collaborators.

2. Informational website only

The Website is provided for general information and to help you enquire about Aescent's services. Content may change without notice. We try to keep it accurate, but we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or suitable for every situation.

The Website does not provide legal, financial, medical, tax, regulatory, or other professional advice. You should obtain advice from a qualified professional for decisions that need it.

3. Enquiries and estimates

You may contact us using the channels linked from the Website. An enquiry, estimate range, project-estimator result, conversation, or proposal is not an offer to provide services and does not create a client relationship or binding agreement.

Services begin only when Aescent and the client have accepted a separate written project agreement or other written scope, including agreed fees and payment terms. Project-estimator ranges are indicative only and may change after we understand the actual scope, content, integrations, timeline, and third-party requirements.

You agree not to:

• use the Website unlawfully or in a way that interferes with its availability or security;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its hosting, accounts, or related systems;
• introduce malware, scrape the Website at an excessive rate, or bypass security or access controls;
• copy, reproduce, republish, sell, license, or exploit Website content except as permitted below or with our written permission; or
• use Aescent's name, logos, portfolio materials, or content in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written permission.

5. Intellectual property

The Website and its contents, including its design, text, graphics, logos, images, portfolio presentation, and code, are owned by Aescent or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view the Website and make a reasonable personal or internal business reference to it. You may not otherwise copy or use its materials without Aescent's prior written permission. Client work displayed in the portfolio may be subject to additional rights held by the relevant client or third parties.

6. Third-party services and links

The Website may link to third-party services, including email and social-media platforms. Those services are not controlled by Aescent and have their own terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

7. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in the Aescent Web Studio Privacy Notice. By using the Website or contacting us, you acknowledge that notice.

8. No warranty

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the Website will always be available, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components, or that its content will meet your requirements.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Aescent will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Website. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

10. Changes, suspension, or termination

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We may revise these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Your continued use after the updated Terms are posted means you accept them.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Website will be handled by the appropriate courts or other lawful forum in the Philippines, subject to applicable law.
