Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the website at solhbihai.com (the "site"), operated by Solhbihai Studio Ltd. By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms cover use of this public website and any enquiry you send through it; the delivery of studio services is governed separately by a written statement of work or services agreement signed by both parties, which prevails over these terms in the event of any conflict.

1. Who these terms are for

The site is intended for business and professional users evaluating or engaging our services, and for anyone reading our published writing. It is not directed at children, and it is not intended for use in any jurisdiction where doing so would be unlawful. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the site complies with the laws that apply to you.

2. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and reasonably. In particular, you must not: attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server, or any connected system or network; probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the site except with our prior written permission; introduce malware, or any code intended to disrupt, damage or degrade the site; use automated means to scrape, harvest or overload the site beyond ordinary browsing, including submitting the contact form by bot or in bulk; impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation; or use the site to transmit unlawful, defamatory, harassing or infringing material. We may suspend or block access that breaches these rules.

3. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on the site — including text, writing, graphics, the compass emblem and wordmark, layout, and code — is owned by or licensed to Solhbihai Studio Ltd and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own reference and quote short extracts of our published writing with clear attribution and a link. You may not otherwise copy, republish, adapt, or exploit our content commercially without our prior written consent. All trade marks and brand features shown remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing on the site transfers any ownership right to you.

4. Enquiries and no engagement

Submitting the contact form, or otherwise contacting us, does not create a client relationship or any obligation on our part to provide services. Any engagement begins only when we and you sign a written statement of work. Information you send us through the site is handled in line with our Privacy Policy. Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information through the contact form; use it to open a conversation, and we will agree a secure channel before any confidential material is exchanged.

5. Content and no professional advice

Our published writing and other site content is provided for general information. It reflects our opinions at the time of writing and is not professional, legal, financial or technical advice for your specific circumstances. You should not act, or refrain from acting, solely on the basis of site content without seeking appropriate advice. We may change or remove content at any time without notice.

6. Third-party links

The site may reference third-party organisations, tools or resources. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, practices or availability. A reference is not an endorsement, and your dealings with any third party are solely between you and them.

7. Disclaimers and no warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected. You use the site at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraud. Subject to that, to the fullest extent permitted by law we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity arising out of or in connection with your use of the site, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise. Our total aggregate liability arising from your use of the site is limited to one hundred pounds sterling (£100).

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Solhbihai Studio Ltd and its officers and staff from any claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.

10. Termination

We may suspend or withdraw all or part of the site, or restrict your access to it, at any time and without notice, particularly where we reasonably believe you have breached these terms. The provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law survive any termination.

11. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The version in force is the one published on this page, with the "last updated" date shown above. Your continued use of the site after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the site (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Before starting formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at hello@solhbihai.com so we can try to resolve the matter in good faith. If we cannot, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, save that if you are a consumer you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live.
