Terms of Service

Quarry is a digital studio based in Austin, Texas. We design brands, build websites, and ship custom software. These terms apply to anyone using quarry.studio and to clients who engage our services.

Projects begin after a signed proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) that specifies scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees. This site and any informal conversations are not themselves a contract — only a signed proposal binds either party.

Unless stated otherwise in the signed proposal:

• A 50% deposit is due before work begins. The balance is due according to milestones defined in the proposal, with the final payment due on delivery.
• Invoices are due within fourteen days. Overdue balances may accrue reasonable interest at our discretion.
• Expenses (stock imagery, third-party subscriptions, custom fonts, etc.) are passed through at cost and approved in advance.

Each proposal defines what's in scope. Reasonable revisions within the agreed scope are included; work beyond that scope is quoted as a change order before it begins. We do not start out-of-scope work on a verbal request.

• On final payment, the client owns all final deliverables produced specifically for the engagement — brand marks, site code, production assets.
• Quarry retains ownership of any tooling, libraries, or internal methods developed in the course of the project that are not client-specific.
• Quarry reserves the right to display completed work in its portfolio and case studies, including on quarry.studio and on third-party platforms, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We treat business information, unreleased work, and personal data shared during an engagement as confidential. We will not disclose it to third parties except as needed to deliver the project (e.g., sharing with a subcontractor bound by the same terms) or as required by law.

We build to the scope described in the proposal, using reasonable professional care. To the extent permitted by law, the site and our services are provided on an “as-is” basis without warranties beyond what's explicitly stated in the signed proposal. Our aggregate liability is limited to the fees paid for the engagement giving rise to the claim.

Either party may terminate an engagement in writing. Fees for work completed up to the termination date are due; deposits already paid are non-refundable to the extent work has been performed.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas.

We may update these terms as the business evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of quarry.studio after changes constitutes acceptance.
