Terms of service

These terms apply to dutchplatformlab.online, to free architecture reviews, and to every tile set bought from the studio.

1The studio

DutchPlatformLab is a trading style of Techno Hiker Pvt Ltd, incorporated in India, whose registration details appear on quotes and invoices. Contact us about these terms at hello@dutchplatformlab.online. Our way of working is on the about page.

2Platforms we serve

We work only with businesses operating lawful platforms: adult product marketplaces and resale sites, creator and content platforms, dating and community memberships, and listing sites for lawful venues and events. We decline platforms whose main trade is advertising sex work or escorting.

3Your responsibilities as a platform

• Compliance with the Digital Services Act, the GDPR, consumer law and any other rules that apply to your platform remains yours.
• You keep effective age checks for adult content and a working process for reporting and removing illegal content.
• You give accurate information and reasonable access, and decide promptly on our recommendations.

4Work refused

The studio declines to design or recommend anything that weakens age checks, shows search engines content that visitors cannot see, exposes profiles without their owners' choice, creates fake listings or activity, or disguises paid placements.

5Scope of each set

Each tile set's tasks appear under pricing, and your quote repeats them. Platform development, advertising spend, legal advice and translation beyond review are separate unless agreed in writing.

6Outcomes

Rankings come from search engines' own systems, which shift unannounced. The studio undertakes careful, documented work and a monthly written report; specific positions or traffic are not promised.

7Fees and VAT

• Monthly fees in euros at the rate quoted, unaffected by listing counts or revenue.
• Rolling: thirty days' notice in writing from either party ends it.
• Committed: pick a three, six or twelve-month period at the lower price; each of those months is owed.
• VAT is charged where EU or Dutch rules require it; invoices are payable within fourteen days.

8Confidentiality and ownership

Information about your platform stays confidential. Specifications and reports become yours once paid for, while our general methods and templates remain ours. For personal data, the privacy notice applies.

9Liability

Nothing here removes rights the law makes compulsory. Beyond them, everything we could owe on every claim combined stops at one quarter's worth of fees received before the problem began, and never includes lost profit or what search engines, platforms or regulators decide.

10Ending the engagement

Once any commitment is complete, either party may end the engagement on thirty days' written notice. We may end it immediately if the conditions under "Platforms we serve" or "Work refused" are breached, and either party may walk away from a serious breach still unfixed a fortnight after being told of it.

11Governing law

This agreement is read under the law of India, before Indian courts, save where a jointly signed quote picks another forum.
