SC AQUAVITA SRL
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
This Terms of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding contract between Sivis, a product owned by Aquavita, a limited liability company established under the laws of Romania (“Sivis”), and the client, whether acting as an individual or on behalf of an entity (“Client”). This Agreement governs access to and use of Sivis’s website, located at sivis.ro (the “Website”), as well as any related media, channels, mobile websites, or mobile applications. By using the Website, the Client agrees to comply with all terms, conditions, and obligations outlined herein.
Failure to accept and adhere to these terms prohibits the Client from accessing or using the Website, and they must discontinue use immediately. Upon such termination, the relationship between the Client and Sivis will end and hold no further effect, except that any outstanding payment obligations for services already rendered by Sivis shall remain in force.
Intellectual Property Rights
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Website and its content are the exclusive property of Sivis. This includes but is not limited to, all source code, databases, software, website designs, functionalities, text, audio, video, photographs, graphics, trademarks, service marks, and logos (collectively, the “Content” and “Marks”). These elements are protected under Romanian copyright and trademark laws, as well as applicable international intellectual property laws.
The Content and Marks are provided “as is” for informational and personal use only. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, no portion of the Website, Content, or Marks may be reproduced, distributed, displayed, transmitted, sold, licensed, or otherwise used for commercial purposes without prior written authorisation from Sivis. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Sivis.
Ownership of Materials
While Sivis retains ownership of all Submissions as outlined in the Client Feedback section (Paragraph 4), all designs and original source files created for the Client (“Projects”) shall belong exclusively to the Client. The Client will hold sole ownership of the copyright for any Projects delivered.
If, under any circumstances, the law assigns ownership of a Project to Sivis instead of the Client, Sivis irrevocably assigns all such rights to the Client. The Client warrants that any materials they provide to Sivis for incorporation into a Project are either owned by the Client or used with proper authorisation and do not infringe upon third-party rights, including intellectual property or publicity rights.
Unless otherwise agreed, Sivis retains the right to publicly showcase the Client’s design work (e.g., on social media, portfolio, or website) as stated in Section 18 of this document.
Third-Party Fonts
If a Project includes fonts not owned by Sivis that require a commercial license for legal use, Sivis will inform the Client in writing. This notice will detail which Third-Party Fonts have been incorporated, what licenses are necessary, and how to acquire them. Once Sivis has provided this information, the Client assumes full responsibility for obtaining the appropriate licenses. Sivis will not be held liable for any consequences arising from the Client’s failure to secure such licenses.
