Terms & conditions

1. Who I am

William BRISA, entrepreneur individuel (EI), registered in France under SIREN 988 777 744, offers freelance product design and full-stack development. These terms govern the use of williambrisa.fr and set the general framework for any work commissioned from me. The publisher’s full details are in the mentions légales.

2. Using this site

Everything on this site, including text, images, designs, code samples and case studies, is my intellectual property or used with the permission of its rights holders. Reproducing, distributing or modifying any of it without prior written consent is prohibited, under Article L122-4 of the French Intellectual Property Code. The names and logos of the products shown belong to their respective owners.

The site is provided as is. I keep it accurate and online as best I can, but cannot guarantee that it is free of errors or always available. Links to other sites are there for convenience, and I am not responsible for what those sites contain.

3. Engagements

Every project is governed by a quote or statement of work (SOW) accepted by both parties. These terms are the general framework; where the SOW says otherwise, the SOW prevails.

4. Payment

Unless the SOW says otherwise, a deposit of 30% is due before work starts, and invoices are payable within 30 days of issue. For professional clients, late payment incurs interest at three times the French legal interest rate, under Article L441-10 of the French Commercial Code, plus a fixed recovery indemnity of €40 per late invoice, under Article D441-5.

5. Intellectual property in deliverables

Once a project is paid in full, the intellectual property rights in its deliverables pass to the client, to the extent and on the terms set out in the SOW. I keep the right to show the work in my portfolio unless we agree otherwise in writing.

6. Liability

I am not liable for indirect or consequential damage arising from the use of this site or of my services. Under a project, my total liability is capped at the fees paid for that project. Nothing here limits a liability that French law does not allow to be limited, or the statutory rights of a consumer.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information exchanged during a project. That obligation continues for two years after the project ends.

8. Ending an engagement

Either party may end an engagement with 14 days’ written notice. The client pays for all work completed up to the end date.

9. Personal data

How personal data is handled, on this site and during a project, is set out in the privacy policy.

10. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law and the applicable European Union regulations. In a dispute, we first try to settle it amicably; failing that, it goes before the competent French courts.

11. Changes

I may update these terms. Changes are published on this page with a new date, and a project already under way stays under the terms in force when its SOW was accepted.
