Terms of Service

This website is provided to share information about Prado Pixels and its services, and to let visitors get in touch. It's provided "as is," without guarantees that it will always be available, error-free, or uninterrupted.

Nothing on this site (page copy, FAQ answers, blog-style content if added later) constitutes legal, financial, or technical advice specific to your situation. Any real engagement starts with a conversation and a written proposal scoped to your actual needs.

This applies in particular to anything said, in conversation, in a proposal, or on this site, about website accessibility or regulatory compliance (including ADA or GDPR). Kara Prado is not a licensed attorney, and none of that is legal advice. If a compliance question matters to your business, consult a qualified attorney directly; Prado Pixels isn't liable for outcomes based on informal guidance given outside that kind of review.

Submitting the contact form or booking a call is an inquiry, not a contract. Actual project work, pricing, and timelines are governed by a separate written proposal agreed to directly with Kara Prado before any work begins.

If a project moves forward, invoicing and payment happen separately, at billing.pradopixels.com, run on SureCart. Payment is currently processed through Prado Pixels' own Stripe account (credit cards and other payment methods), or through PayPal if you choose that option at checkout. This is a deliberate, temporary bridge while Prado Pixels rebuilds billing directly onto this domain, moving to Stripe only at that point; billing.pradopixels.com carries its own Terms for that checkout, and this arrangement is expected to change once that rebuild happens.

Prado Pixels may decline any inquiry or project, for any reason, at its own discretion, including requests involving illegal activity or content Prado Pixels isn't willing to build. Declining an inquiry isn't a breach of anything, since submitting the contact form is only an inquiry, not a contract (see "Project engagements" above).

The design, layout, and original text of this website belong to Prado Pixels. Client work delivered under a separate engagement is governed by that engagement's own agreement, not by these general terms.

Prado Pixels also reserves the right to showcase completed client work as part of its own portfolio (including this site's Selected Work section) and to discuss projects publicly, unless a specific engagement's signed proposal says otherwise.

Prado Pixels isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website, to the fullest extent the law allows. This section doesn't limit anything a signed client contract separately promises for actual project work.

This site may link to third-party tools or resources (a scheduling tool, a payment processor's site). Prado Pixels isn't responsible for the content or practices of external sites you reach that way.

If you have a dispute about this website (not a signed client project, which is governed by that project's own proposal/contract), please try emailing pixelsprado@gmail.com first, most things are a misunderstanding that a real reply can resolve quickly.

If that doesn't resolve it, you and Prado Pixels each agree to resolve any claim relating to this website through individual binding arbitration rather than in court, and each waive the right to a jury trial. Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator under the American Arbitration Association's consumer arbitration rules then in effect, and can be conducted on the papers, by phone, or in person in San Joaquin County, California, at your choice.

You and Prado Pixels also each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action. If this class-action-waiver sentence is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) may proceed in court instead, and the rest of this section still applies to every other claim.

This section doesn't apply to small-claims-court actions, which either party may bring instead, or to either party's right to seek injunctive relief in court for misuse of intellectual property.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If any part of these Terms is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is considered severable and doesn't affect the validity of the rest.

These terms may be updated as the site changes. The date at the top reflects the most recent update. Like the Privacy Policy above, this page ships without formal attorney review at launch and will be revised after that review happens.
