Terms of Service

Effective date: July 20, 2026
Last updated: July 20, 2026

Drafting note — remove before publishing: Replace [LEGAL OWNER NAME] with the person or entity that legally owns the business. For example: “Rebl Theory LLC, operating as Rebl Studio,” or “[Owner’s legal name], doing business as Rebl Theory and Rebl Studio.” A DBA is not itself a separate legal entity.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at https://rebl.studio and its related pages, forms, content, and features (collectively, the “Website”), as well as any services you request from or purchase through [LEGAL OWNER NAME], which operates under the Rebl Theory and Rebl Studio names (“Rebl,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Website, submitting an inquiry, booking a call, requesting an estimate, accepting a proposal, or purchasing services from us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website or purchase services through it.

1. Business Use and Eligibility

The Website and our services are intended primarily for businesses and for individuals acting in a professional or commercial capacity.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to use the Website or engage our services. If you use the Website or engage us on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” includes both you and the organization you represent.

2. Our Website and Services

Rebl is a creative studio offering services that may include brand strategy and identity, website strategy, web design, Webflow development, website development and migration, user experience and interface design, copywriting, search engine optimization and answer engine optimization, landing pages, integrations, maintenance, support, and related creative or technical services.

Descriptions on the Website are general and may not reflect the exact scope, deliverables, schedule, staffing, pricing, or terms of a particular engagement. Website content, discovery calls, estimates, and preliminary discussions are informational and do not require us to accept a project or reserve capacity.

A binding service engagement begins only when the parties accept a written proposal, statement of work, master services agreement, order form, or other written agreement (each, a “Client Agreement”), or when we otherwise confirm the engagement in writing.

3. Relationship Between These Terms and Client Agreements

These Terms apply to your use of the Website and, where relevant, to services that are not governed by a more specific Client Agreement.

A Client Agreement may contain additional or different terms concerning scope, deliverables, fees, payment schedules, revisions, intellectual property, confidentiality, warranties, termination, and liability. If a Client Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Client Agreement controls for the subject matter of that engagement. These Terms do not modify a Client Agreement unless the Client Agreement expressly says they do.

4. Estimates, Proposals, and Scope

Unless a proposal states otherwise:

  • estimates are based on the information available when prepared and are not guarantees of final cost or completion date;
  • third-party fees, taxes, licenses, hosting, domains, fonts, stock assets, plugins, applications, and other external costs are not included unless expressly listed;
  • work outside the agreed scope requires written approval and may result in additional fees and schedule changes; and
  • a proposal may expire on the date stated in it, or, if no date is stated, 30 days after it is issued.

We may correct clerical, typographical, pricing, or descriptive errors in Website content, estimates, or proposals before a Client Agreement is accepted.

5. Your Responsibilities

You agree to:

  1. provide accurate, complete, and timely information, content, credentials, materials, feedback, decisions, and approvals reasonably needed for the work;
  2. designate a representative who is authorized to give instructions and approvals on your behalf;
  3. ensure that you have all rights, permissions, consents, and licenses needed for materials, data, trademarks, photographs, copy, software, and other content you provide to us (“Client Materials”);
  4. maintain appropriate backups of your websites, systems, content, and data unless backup services are expressly included in the scope;
  5. protect credentials and promptly notify us if credentials or systems connected to the project may have been compromised;
  6. review deliverables and test functionality promptly, including on the devices, browsers, systems, and integrations that matter to your business;
  7. comply with applicable laws and third-party terms relating to your business, content, products, services, marketing, privacy practices, accessibility obligations, and use of deliverables; and
  8. avoid providing regulated, highly sensitive, or special-category personal information unless we have expressly agreed in writing to receive and process it.

Delays in providing materials, feedback, access, or approvals may affect the schedule, availability of personnel, and cost. We are not responsible for delays or defects caused by inaccurate instructions, incomplete materials, late approvals, third-party systems, or matters outside the agreed scope.

Unless a Client Agreement expressly includes legal, regulatory, privacy, accessibility, tax, accounting, or compliance advice, you remain responsible for obtaining that advice from qualified professionals.

6. Revisions, Changes, and Project Delays

The number and type of revisions included in an engagement are determined by the applicable Client Agreement. Requests that materially change the approved direction, assumptions, functionality, content volume, integrations, deliverables, or schedule may be treated as out-of-scope work.

We may require a written change order or updated proposal before performing additional work. Additional work may be billed at the rates stated in the Client Agreement or at rates agreed in writing.

Project dates are estimates unless expressly identified as guaranteed in a Client Agreement. Timelines may change because of client delays, expanded scope, third-party approvals, technical limitations, platform changes, force majeure events, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

7. Fees, Payment, Recurring Services, and Refunds

7.1 Fees and invoices

You agree to pay the fees and reimbursable expenses stated in the applicable Client Agreement or invoice. Payment schedules may include deposits, milestone payments, retainers, recurring fees, or payment upon delivery.

You authorize us and our payment processors, which may include Stripe and Wave, to process payments using the payment method you provide. Payment processors have their own terms and privacy practices.

Unless otherwise stated in writing:

  • amounts are due in U.S. dollars;
  • you are responsible for applicable sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes, excluding taxes based on our net income;
  • you may not withhold, offset, or deduct amounts unless required by law; and
  • we may pause work, withhold delivery or transfer of rights, or suspend ongoing services while an undisputed payment is overdue.

7.2 Recurring services

Recurring support, maintenance, retainers, or subscriptions apply only when described in a Client Agreement. Any billing interval, renewal period, minimum commitment, notice deadline, cancellation method, and effective cancellation date will be governed by that Client Agreement.

A recurring engagement does not renew automatically unless the Client Agreement clearly says that it does.

7.3 No refunds

Except where required by law or expressly stated in a Client Agreement, deposits, retainers, milestone payments, recurring charges, completed-work fees, and third-party costs are non-refundable.

If an engagement ends before completion, you remain responsible for work performed, approved expenses, non-cancellable commitments, and other amounts due under the Client Agreement through the effective termination date.

Before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute, you agree to contact us at contact@rebltheory.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to address the issue.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Rebl materials

Rebl and its licensors retain all rights in materials, tools, systems, processes, methods, know-how, templates, code libraries, reusable components, design systems, utilities, internal documents, working files, preliminary concepts, rejected concepts, and other intellectual property that:

  • existed before the engagement;
  • was developed outside the specific engagement;
  • has general application to multiple clients or projects; or
  • is identified as Rebl-owned material

(collectively, “Rebl Materials”).

No ownership of Rebl Materials transfers to you. To the extent Rebl Materials are embedded in a paid final deliverable, we grant you a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use those embedded materials only as reasonably necessary to use the final deliverable for your business, subject to the applicable Client Agreement.

8.2 Client Materials

You retain ownership of Client Materials. You grant Rebl and its contractors a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, modify, display, transmit, and otherwise use Client Materials as reasonably necessary to evaluate an inquiry, prepare a proposal, perform services, create deliverables, and satisfy legal or contractual obligations.

You represent and warrant that our authorized use of Client Materials will not violate law, infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, breach a contract, or require us to pay royalties or obtain additional permissions not disclosed to us.

8.3 Final deliverables

Ownership and license rights for deliverables are governed by the applicable Client Agreement.

If a Client Agreement does not address ownership, then, after we receive full payment of all amounts due for the engagement, Rebl assigns to you the rights Rebl owns in the final, client-specific deliverables expressly delivered and approved for use. This assignment excludes:

  • Rebl Materials;
  • third-party materials;
  • open-source software;
  • fonts, stock assets, plugins, applications, and platform components;
  • concepts and work not selected as final deliverables;
  • working files and production files not expressly included in the scope; and
  • rights that cannot legally be assigned.

Third-party and open-source materials remain subject to their applicable license terms. You are responsible for complying with those terms and for ongoing license, subscription, hosting, domain, or usage fees unless the Client Agreement states otherwise.

8.4 Working files and source materials

Editable source files, native design files, internal documentation, production files, research files, prompts, notes, component libraries, and development tools are not included unless expressly identified as deliverables in the Client Agreement.

8.5 Feedback

If you provide suggestions or feedback about our Website, services, processes, or offerings, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation, provided we do not publicly identify you as its source without permission.

9. Portfolio and Publicity Rights

Unless a Client Agreement or nondisclosure agreement states otherwise, after a project or deliverable has been made public, Rebl may:

  • identify you as a client;
  • display your name and logo;
  • link to the public project; and
  • display, describe, and discuss the public-facing final work in our portfolio, Website, social media, presentations, award submissions, case studies, and marketing materials.

We will not knowingly disclose your non-public confidential information in doing so. You may request a written portfolio restriction before the engagement begins, and any agreed restriction should be included in the Client Agreement.

10. Confidentiality and Inquiry Submissions

Submitting an inquiry, booking a call, or sending information through the Website does not by itself create a confidential, fiduciary, professional, or exclusive relationship. Do not submit trade secrets, regulated data, passwords, or highly sensitive information through a general Website form unless we have agreed to receive it securely.

During a service engagement, each party may receive non-public information that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). The receiving party will:

  • use Confidential Information only for the engagement;
  • apply reasonable measures to protect it;
  • disclose it only to personnel, contractors, and advisers who need it and are subject to appropriate confidentiality duties; and
  • not disclose it to others without permission, except as required by law.

Confidential Information does not include information that the receiving party can show was lawfully known without restriction, independently developed, rightfully received from another source, or made public without breach of an obligation.

A separate nondisclosure agreement or confidentiality provision in a Client Agreement controls if it conflicts with this section.

11. Third-Party Platforms, Services, and Materials

Our Website and deliverables may depend on or connect with third-party platforms and services, including Webflow, hosting providers, domain registrars, payment processors, analytics tools, content management systems, fonts, stock libraries, plugins, APIs, applications, social platforms, search engines, and other integrations.

Third-party products are governed by their own terms, licenses, privacy practices, fees, availability, and technical limitations. We do not control and are not responsible for:

  • third-party outages, security incidents, policy changes, price changes, feature changes, account restrictions, or discontinuation;
  • a third party’s review, approval, ranking, indexing, or distribution decisions;
  • changes required because a third party modifies its technology or requirements; or
  • defects or limitations in third-party products that we did not create.

Unless a Client Agreement states otherwise, ongoing maintenance, monitoring, updates, license renewals, platform fees, and remediation caused by third-party changes are outside the original project scope.

12. Acceptable Use of the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You may not, and may not encourage or assist another person to:

  1. violate applicable law or another person’s rights;
  2. copy, republish, sell, license, or commercially exploit Website content without written permission;
  3. use our name, logos, designs, case studies, or other content in a misleading manner or to imply endorsement;
  4. scrape, crawl, harvest, index, or extract Website content or data through automated means, except for ordinary public search-engine indexing that follows our technical instructions;
  5. use Website content, designs, copy, images, code, or data to train, fine-tune, test, or improve an artificial intelligence or machine-learning system without our written permission;
  6. reverse engineer, decompile, probe, or attempt to discover source code or non-public functionality, except where law prohibits that restriction;
  7. bypass access controls, rate limits, security measures, or technical restrictions;
  8. introduce malware, malicious code, or harmful material;
  9. interfere with the Website’s operation or place an unreasonable load on its infrastructure;
  10. impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation, identity, authority, or intentions;
  11. submit content that is unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, or privacy-invasive; or
  12. use the Website to send unsolicited commercial messages or collect contact information for that purpose.

We may investigate suspected misuse and cooperate with service providers or authorities where legally appropriate.

13. Website Content and Intellectual Property

The Website and its content—including text, graphics, branding, layouts, photographs, videos, animations, software, designs, case studies, and other materials—are owned by Rebl or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Website for your internal business evaluation and lawful personal use. No other rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

“Rebl,” “Rebl Theory,” “Rebl Studio,” associated logos, and other brand elements may be trademarks or trade dress of Rebl. You may not use them without prior written permission, except for accurate factual reference that does not imply endorsement.

To report suspected copyright or trademark infringement involving the Website, contact contact@rebltheory.com with sufficient detail for us to evaluate the request. This contact method is not a representation that Rebl has designated or registered a DMCA agent.

14. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. Links are provided for convenience and do not mean that we endorse or control the linked party. Your use of third-party resources is at your own risk and subject to their terms and privacy practices.

15. No Guarantee of Results

Creative, design, development, brand, search, marketing, and optimization results depend on many factors outside our control, including your offering, market, pricing, audience, content, implementation, internal operations, competition, platform policies, search algorithms, advertising activity, and economic conditions.

Unless a Client Agreement expressly states otherwise, Rebl does not guarantee:

  • search rankings, indexing, traffic, leads, conversions, sales, revenue, fundraising, customer acquisition, brand recognition, or other commercial outcomes;
  • uninterrupted or error-free Website, hosting, platform, integration, or third-party availability;
  • compatibility with every browser, device, system, plugin, or future software version;
  • approval by a platform, marketplace, search engine, regulator, or third party; or
  • that a deliverable alone will satisfy every legal, regulatory, accessibility, privacy, security, or industry requirement applicable to your business.

Any examples, case studies, testimonials, projections, performance figures, or prior results are illustrative and are not promises of future performance.

16. Disclaimers

Except for express commitments in an applicable Client Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

THE WEBSITE, WEBSITE CONTENT, PRELIMINARY ADVICE, ESTIMATES, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” REBL DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

We do not warrant that the Website will always be available, secure, complete, accurate, current, or free from errors or harmful components.

Website content and creative or strategic discussions are not legal, tax, accounting, financial, cybersecurity, accessibility, or regulatory advice. You should consult qualified professionals regarding those matters.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

REBL AND ITS OWNERS, PERSONNEL, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR DATA; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, DELIVERABLES, OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

REBL’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, AN ENGAGEMENT, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) $100; OR (B) THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO REBL FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT FIRST GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

These limitations apply regardless of the form of action, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise, and reflect the allocation of risk between the parties.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or other liability that applicable law requires to remain unlimited.

A Client Agreement may establish a different liability allocation for that engagement.

18. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rebl and its owners, personnel, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, penalties, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or related to:

  • Client Materials;
  • your products, services, business practices, instructions, claims, or content;
  • your use of deliverables or the Website in violation of law, third-party terms, or these Terms;
  • your alleged infringement or violation of another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights; or
  • your material breach of these Terms or a Client Agreement.

We will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes non-monetary obligations on an indemnified party without that party’s written consent. We may participate in the defense with counsel of our choice at our own expense.

19. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict or suspend access to the Website if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created a security risk, interfered with the Website, exposed us or another person to legal liability, or engaged in fraudulent or abusive conduct.

Service engagements may be suspended or terminated as provided in the Client Agreement. If no Client Agreement addresses termination, either party may terminate an ongoing engagement by written notice, but termination does not eliminate payment obligations for work performed, expenses incurred, or non-cancellable commitments made before termination.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, intellectual property provisions, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions.

20. Disputes, Governing Law, and Courts

Before filing a lawsuit, the complaining party will send written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days after the notice is received. This informal process does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief, protecting intellectual property or Confidential Information, or collecting undisputed overdue amounts.

These Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

The state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in Ohio will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or related to the Website, services, or these Terms, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

These Terms do not require mandatory arbitration and do not include a class-action waiver. A Client Agreement may establish a different dispute process for a particular engagement.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date identifies the latest revision. Updated Terms become effective when posted unless a later date is stated.

Changes will not retroactively modify a signed Client Agreement unless the parties agree in writing. Your continued use of the Website after updated Terms take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

22. General Terms

22.1 Force majeure

Neither party is responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, labor disputes, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, utility or telecommunications failure, widespread internet disruption, cyberattack not caused by the affected party’s failure to use reasonable safeguards, epidemic, pandemic, or failure of a critical third-party platform. Payment obligations for work already performed are not excused.

22.2 Independent contractors

The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, franchise, employment, agency, fiduciary, or exclusive relationship.

22.3 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms or a Client Agreement without our prior written consent, except as expressly permitted in that agreement. We may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the business, provided the assignee assumes the applicable obligations.

22.4 Severability

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain effective.

22.5 Waiver

A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific instance stated.

22.6 Entire agreement and order of precedence

These Terms and any applicable Client Agreement constitute the agreement concerning access to the Website and the applicable services. The Privacy Policy describes our processing of personal information and does not expand or modify the commercial terms of a Client Agreement. If a Client Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Client Agreement controls for that engagement.

22.7 Electronic communications

You consent to receive agreements, notices, invoices, and other communications electronically. Electronic records and signatures may be used to the extent permitted by law.

22.8 Headings

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
