Terms of Service

1. Introduction; Scope

Effective Date: August 30, 2026.

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern the website design and development services provided at no charge by Parallo, a volunteer project operated as a sole proprietorship from New York, United States (“Parallo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), to the organization requesting those services (the “Client” or “you”). These Terms apply from the time a project brief is submitted through the website at https://parallo.studio (the “Site”) and continue to apply to any work that follows.

No fee is charged for the services described in these Terms and no payment is due at any time. These Terms are published so that the scope of what is offered, the ownership of what is delivered, and the allocation of risk between the parties are stated in advance rather than assumed.

2. Scope of Services

Parallo designs and builds one website for the Client and delivers it to the Client upon completion. No fee, invoice, or other charge applies to that work at any time.

The following are the Client’s responsibility and are not furnished by Parallo:

• Domain registration. The Client registers and renews its own domain name, in the Client’s own name and on the Client’s own account.
• Hosting. The Client provides hosting for the delivered site, including any cost that arises where the site’s requirements exceed the free tier of the provider the Client selects.

The following are outside the scope of these Terms unless separately agreed in writing: ongoing maintenance; subsequent revisions or additional pages; written copy; photography; and technical support following delivery.

3. Client Materials; Client Warranties and Indemnity

The Client furnishes the text, photographs, logos, and other materials to be incorporated into the site (the “Client Materials”).

The Client represents and warrants that it owns, or is licensed to use, all Client Materials, and that it has obtained every consent and release necessary for their use, including the consent of any identifiable individual depicted and, where that individual is a minor, the consent of a parent or guardian. Parallo does not independently verify the Client’s rights in the Client Materials and relies on the representations in this Section.

The Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Parallo from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to the Client Materials or to any breach of the representations in this Section.

4. Ownership of the Delivered Site

Upon delivery, Parallo assigns to the Client all right, title, and interest in the design, layout, and original text and imagery prepared for the Client (the “Deliverables”). No fee, license, or further condition applies to that assignment.

The assignment in this Section does not extend to:

• Third-party materials. Typefaces and other third-party components are furnished under their own licenses, which remain in force and accompany the Deliverables.
• Generated imagery. Certain visual elements are produced using generative tools. The Client may use them without restriction, but Parallo makes no representation that comparable output will not be produced by or for another party.
• Parallo’s underlying tools. The frameworks, engines, and techniques Parallo reuses across projects remain Parallo’s property and are licensed to the Client only as incorporated in the Deliverables.

5. Portfolio Rights

Parallo reserves the right to reproduce, publish, and display the Deliverables, as images, as video, or by link, in portfolios, on social media, and in applications made for educational, professional, or funding purposes.

A Client that requires the Deliverables not be displayed publicly shall notify Parallo before work begins, and no such display shall occur.

6. Delivery; Subsequent Operation

The site is delivered into an account controlled by the Client. Parallo configures the initial deployment and provides the Client with a walkthrough of its operation.

Following delivery, hosting, domain renewal, backups, monitoring, and all subsequent modification of the site are the Client’s responsibility. Parallo does not operate, monitor, or maintain the site after delivery and undertakes no support obligation of any kind.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS. PARALLO MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL BE FREE OF ERRORS, THAT IT WILL FUNCTION ON ANY PARTICULAR BROWSER OR DEVICE, THAT IT WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE, OR THAT IT WILL PRODUCE DONATIONS, VOLUNTEERS, OR ATTENTION FOR THE CLIENT. PARALLO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Parallo performs the work with care and tests what it delivers. The foregoing describes Parallo’s practice and is not a representation as to any outcome.

8. Limitation of Liability

PARALLO’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO THE CLIENT, FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WORK AND HOWEVER ARISING, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO ZERO DOLLARS ($0). SEPARATELY AND INDEPENDENTLY OF THE FOREGOING, PARALLO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOST DONATIONS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

The services are furnished without charge and the limitation in this Section is set accordingly. Nothing in this Section limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and nothing in it applies to fraud or to willful misconduct.

9. No Obligation; Termination

Projects are accepted at Parallo’s discretion and on a case-by-case basis. Submission of a brief, and any discussion that follows from one, creates no obligation on either party.

Either party may terminate before delivery, for any reason and without liability to the other. Where Parallo terminates, the Client receives the work completed to that point at no charge.

10. General Provisions; Contact

Parallo may revise these Terms at any time. Revisions become effective upon posting to the Site, and the version posted at the time a project begins governs that project.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms.
