Master Service Terms
These terms govern your relationship with PXLUX for web design, hosting, maintenance, and AI integrations. Use the overview or read the full legal text.
1) Acceptance & Parties
By using our site or engaging services, you accept these Master Terms and our Privacy Policy.
These Master Service Terms (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between the customer (“Client”, “you”) and PXLUX (“we”, “us”). By accessing pxlux.com or executing a proposal, estimate, or statement of work (“Proposal/SOW”), you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
2) Key Definitions
“Services” means our design, build, hosting, maintenance, and AI work delivered to you.
- Services: Design/build, hosting, maintenance, support, animations, integrations, AI/automation, and related consulting.
- Deliverables: Work products identified in a Proposal/SOW (e.g., WordPress site, UI, code, assets).
- Third-Party Services: External platforms (e.g., WordPress plugins, CDNs, email, Mapbox, GSAP, OpenAI).
3) Scope of Services
Your Proposal/SOW defines specifics; these Terms apply to everything we do.
We provide custom WordPress design, GSAP-driven interfaces, hosting/maintenance, and AI integrations. Each engagement may include a Proposal/SOW describing scope, milestones, and assumptions. If not otherwise stated, timelines are estimates dependent on Client inputs and approvals.
4) Deliverables & Acceptance
We present work for review; your sign-off or live launch confirms acceptance.
- PXLUX will present deliverables for Client review. Acceptance occurs upon written approval, release to production, or seven (7) days without material objection after delivery.
- Minor polish is included; out-of-scope requests may require a change order.
5) Client Responsibilities
Provide timely content, approvals, and access; keep info accurate.
- Provide content, assets, and approvals promptly to meet timelines.
- Ensure you have rights to all materials supplied and that they comply with law.
- Grant access/credentials necessary to perform Services; keep your info current.
6) Changes & Out-of-Scope
We handle change requests via written approval that may adjust timelines and fees.
Any material change to scope, features, or assumptions will be documented and requires Client approval. Changes may impact schedule, cost, and dependencies. Emergency changes may incur expedited fees as agreed.
7) Fees, Billing & Taxes
Hosting and maintenance plans vary by project scale. Setup and design fees depend on scope.
- Hosting + Maintenance: Monthly or annual plans vary based on site scale, resource usage, and support level. Pricing is stated in each Proposal or SOW.
- Setup/Build Fees: One-time design and configuration fees depend on project size, due per Proposal/SOW terms.
- Add-ons: Optional feature build cost + monthly operations fee; usage-based provider fees (e.g., APIs) may be passed through.
- Taxes: Prices exclude applicable taxes; Client is responsible for any required taxes or duties.
- Late/Non-payment: We may pause hosting or maintenance if invoices remain unpaid after notice.
8) Term & Termination
Termination and cancellation terms vary by contract. General terms apply unless a Proposal or SOW specifies otherwise.
- Each Proposal or SOW defines its own duration, renewal, and cancellation conditions. Those terms take precedence for that project.
- Unless otherwise stated, either party may terminate for material breach if not cured within ten (10) days after written notice.
- Clients may cancel hosting or maintenance at any time; service continues through the paid period.
- Prepaid amounts are generally non-refundable unless required by law or stated otherwise in the governing contract.
- Upon termination, we can provide a backup/export upon request (a reasonable fee may apply).

We will perform Services in a professional manner. EXCEPT AS SET OUT HERE, THE SERVICES AND SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
