Terms of service

These terms apply when you use this website, amnext.studio, and when you work with AMnext Studio (“AMnext”, “we”, “us”). They’re written to be read, not skimmed past, so we’ve kept them as plain as we can. If anything is unclear, ask us at hello@amnext.studio before you agree to a project.

1. Who we are

AMnext is a small independent studio based in India. We design and build websites and landing pages, Shopify stores, logos and other graphic design, AI video ads and business automations for businesses around the world.

2. Using this website

You’re welcome to read, share and link to anything on this website. The articles and answers here are general information to help you make decisions; they aren’t professional advice for your particular situation. Prices, fees and rules we mention for other companies (like Shopify, Etsy or Meta) were correct when we wrote them but change over time, so check them before relying on them.

Please don’t copy our designs, text or code to pass off as your own, try to break or overload the site, or use it for anything unlawful. The work shown in our portfolio includes client projects and studio concepts.

3. How a project starts

Every project starts with a conversation, usually a free 15-minute call. Afterwards we send you a written plan that sets out what we’ll make (the scope), the price, the timeline and when payments are due. When you accept the plan and pay the deposit, the plan and these terms together form our agreement. If the plan and these terms ever disagree, the plan wins.

4. Prices and payment

• The price in your plan is the price for the scope in your plan. It doesn’t change unless the scope does, and we always agree any change with you in writing first.
• We invoice through Wise. You can pay in most currencies; any bank or transfer fees on your side are yours to cover.
• A deposit is due before we start. It reserves our time for your project and is not refundable.
• The rest is due as your plan sets out.
• If a payment is late, we may pause work until it arrives, and the timeline moves by the same amount. We don’t hand over final files or put work live while payments are outstanding.
• Prices don’t include any taxes that apply where you are, which you’re responsible for.

5. Other companies’ costs

Many projects rely on services run by other companies, such as your domain name, hosting, Shopify plans and apps, premium themes, fonts or stock images, automation tools, AI tools and WhatsApp messaging fees. These costs are yours and are paid to those companies, not to us. We list the ones your project needs in your plan before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises. Where we can, we set these accounts up in your name, so they stay yours.

6. What we need from you

Good work needs your input: information about your business, content such as photos and product details, access to accounts we need to set things up, and timely feedback. Our timelines assume we get these when the plan says. If they arrive later, the timeline moves. If we don’t hear from you for 30 days during a project, we may treat it as paused, and restarting it will depend on our schedule at the time.

You confirm that you have the right to use anything you give us (text, images, logos, product claims) and that using it won’t break anyone else’s rights or the law. If a claim is made against us because of material you supplied, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it.

7. Changes during the project

Rounds of changes are built into every project. Unless your plan says otherwise, you get three rounds on websites, landing pages, Shopify stores and automations, and two rounds on logos, ad banners, email signatures and AI ads. A round is one set of feedback, sent together, and our update in response.

Extra rounds, and anything outside the agreed scope (a new page, a new feature, a different direction after approval), are quoted separately or billed by the hour. We’ll always tell you which before we do the work.

8. Timelines

The dates in your plan are our honest estimate and we work to them. They aren’t guarantees, because they depend on feedback, content and third-party services we don’t control. If something on our side is going to be late, we’ll tell you as early as we can.

9. Cancelling

You can end a project at any time by telling us in writing. The deposit isn’t refundable, and any work we’ve done beyond what the deposit covers is payable up to the day you cancel. Once that’s paid, you can have everything we’ve made so far.

We can end a project if payments are seriously overdue, if you ask us to do something unlawful or dishonest, or if the working relationship breaks down. In that case, you pay for the work done to that point and we hand it over, and if you’ve paid for work we haven’t done, beyond the deposit, we refund it.

10. After launch

For 30 days after launch or handover, small fixes and changes are free. That means things like editing text, swapping images, adjusting settings or fixing something that isn’t working as agreed. It doesn’t include new pages, new features or redesigns.

After those 30 days, or for anything larger, we work by the hour or quote the job, and we tell you which first. We’re not responsible for problems caused by changes you or someone else makes, or by changes to the third-party services your project uses, though we’re happy to help fix them on the same basis.

11. Who owns the work

Once you’ve paid in full, you own the final work we made for you: the designs, your logo files, the words we wrote and the code we wrote specifically for your project. Until then, it stays ours, and we may hold back final files.

We keep the code for websites in our own repository, so we can make changes quickly when you need them. You can ask for a full copy at any time after paying in full, and we’ll send it.

We keep ownership of our own tools, templates, know-how and general-purpose pieces of code we use across projects. Where they’re part of your work, you get a permanent licence to use them as part of it. Third-party materials, such as Shopify themes, fonts, stock photos, plugins and AI tools, come under their owners’ licences, which we’ll tell you about where they matter.

12. AI-made ads and content

• AI presenters in our ads come from licensed AI tools. You can use the finished ads commercially, on any platform, for as long as you like. The presenters themselves aren’t exclusive to you, so the same face or voice may appear in other companies’ content.
• We never use a real person’s face, likeness or voice without their written permission.
• We write ads as presenter-led ads, not as fake customer reviews or testimonials, and we won’t make claims about your product that you can’t back up. You’re responsible for the claims you ask us to include being true.
• Ad platforms such as Meta and TikTok require AI-generated content to be disclosed or labelled. We’ll show you how; running the ads in line with each platform’s rules and the law where you advertise is your responsibility.
• In some countries, content made wholly by AI may not be protected by copyright in the same way as work made by people. This doesn’t affect your right to use the ads.

13. Showing your project

We like to show our work. Unless you tell us in writing that you’d rather we didn’t, we may show the finished project in our portfolio and on our social media, and name your business. We never share confidential information, logins or anything you’ve asked us to keep private.

14. Confidentiality

We keep what we learn about your business private, and use it only for your project. That doesn’t cover information that’s already public, or that the law requires us to share. How we handle personal information is explained in our privacy policy.

15. Our responsibility

We do the work with reasonable skill and care, and we fix anything that doesn’t work as agreed. We can’t promise particular results, such as search rankings, sales, enquiries or ad performance, because they depend on things outside our control.

As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you for any project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project, and we’re not responsible for indirect losses such as lost profits, lost data or lost business opportunities. Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that the law doesn’t allow us to limit.

16. Age

You must be at least 18 to work with us, and by agreeing to a project you confirm that you’re acting for a business and have the authority to agree for it.

17. Disputes and the law that applies

If something goes wrong, please tell us first. Most problems are sorted out quickly with a conversation. If we can’t resolve it together, these terms and any project under them are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, and the date at the top will change when we do. A project you’ve already agreed stays under the terms that applied when you accepted its plan.
