4. Services

La Ruche offers web design, development, and marketing services (including website design, branding, SEO, and digital support). Descriptions on the Site are for information only.

A separate written proposal or agreement defines the scope, timelines, deliverables, and commercial terms of a project. If there is a conflict between the Site and a signed contract, the contract prevails.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, La Ruche is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of—or inability to use—the Site (including data loss, business interruption, or lost profits).

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under the laws of Quebec or Canada.

7. Privacy

How we handle personal information is described in our privacy policy. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read that policy.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Any dispute will be submitted to the courts of the judicial district of Montreal, Quebec, subject to mandatory rights under applicable law.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date above will be revised when material changes are made. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, to the extent permitted by law.
