Refund Policy

Effective Date: July 2026

1. Scope

This Refund Policy applies to all digital services, consulting engagements, and development projects contracted with GlacierAnchorWorks. By engaging our services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.

2. Project-Based Refunds

As our services involve custom development and bespoke digital engineering, refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis relative to completed project milestones:

  • Pre-Engagement Cancellation: If a project is cancelled before any work has commenced (defined as the official kick-off meeting or first invoice date), a full refund of any advance payment will be issued within fourteen (14) business days.
  • Mid-Project Cancellation: If a project is cancelled after work has commenced, payment is retained for all milestones already completed and approved. Any pre-paid amounts for uncompleted milestones will be refunded on a pro-rata basis, minus a 10% administrative fee to cover committed resource allocation.
  • Post-Delivery Disputes: If you believe delivered work does not meet the agreed specifications documented in the project brief, you must notify us in writing within fourteen (14) days of delivery. We will review the claim and, if substantiated, either remedy the deficiencies or issue a proportional refund.

3. Recurring Services

For ongoing retainer or subscription-based services, cancellations must be submitted in writing at least thirty (30) days before the next billing cycle. No refund is issued for partial months of service already rendered.

4. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed within fourteen (14) business days to the original payment method. Stripe-processed payments are refunded directly through the Stripe dashboard. For international transfers, processing may take an additional five (5) business days.

5. Non-Refundable Items

The following are non-refundable: domain registration fees, third-party software licenses procured on your behalf, stock imagery or asset purchases, and fees for work completed and approved through the milestone approval process.

Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 2026

Provider: GlacierAnchorWorks, 08750, Crer. Nostra Senyora de Lourdes 26 002 0001, Molins de Rei Barcelona, Spain (“the Provider,” “we,” “us”)

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing our website, engaging our services, or entering into a project agreement with GlacierAnchorWorks, you (“the Client”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use our services or website.

2. Scope of Services

All services are defined in individual project proposals or statements of work (SOWs) agreed upon by both parties. The Provider delivers custom digital engineering, web development, and consulting services. Any work outside the agreed SOW scope requires a separate written change order with updated pricing and timelines.

3. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment of all outstanding invoices, the Client receives a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use all custom code, designs, and digital assets created specifically for the Client under the applicable project agreement. The Provider retains the right to use general methodologies, frameworks, and non-proprietary knowledge developed during the engagement. Pre-existing libraries, tools, and components used in development remain the property of the Provider or their respective licensors.

4. Payment Terms

Invoices are issued according to the milestone schedule defined in the project agreement. Payment is due within fourteen (14) days of invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing. Late payments incur a statutory interest rate of 8 percentage points above the ECB base rate, in accordance with Directive 2011/7/EU on late payment in commercial transactions. The Provider reserves the right to suspend work if payment is overdue by more than fifteen (15) days.

5. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information exchanged during the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the agreement for a period of three (3) years. Confidential information shall not be disclosed to third parties without prior written consent, except where required by law.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider’s total aggregate liability under any project agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client under that agreement. The Provider shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunity. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from willful misconduct or gross negligence.

7. Data Protection

Both parties act as independent data controllers. Where the Provider processes personal data on behalf of the Client in the course of service delivery, a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) shall be executed in compliance with Article 28 GDPR.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate a project agreement with thirty (30) days’ written notice. In the event of termination, the Client is obligated to pay for all work completed and approved up to the termination date. Pre-paid amounts for uncompleted milestones are refundable in accordance with the Refund Policy above.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Spain and the European Union. Any disputes arising from or related to these terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Barcelona, Spain, without prejudice to the Client’s right to bring proceedings in their country of residence under applicable consumer protection regulations.

10. Amendments

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms of Service at any time. Changes take effect upon publication on this page. Continued use of our services following publication constitutes acceptance of the amended terms. Material changes affecting active project agreements will be communicated in writing with a minimum of thirty (30) days’ notice.
