Terms of Service

Last updated: 14 April 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website alfacinhas.studio and the online application form we provide through it (together, the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Who we are

The Site is operated by:

In these Terms, "we", "us" and "our" refer to this entity. "You" means any person accessing the Site or submitting an application through it.

2. What the Site is

Alfacinhas Studio is a creative studio working with international clients and collaborators. The Site exists for one purpose: to inform interested people about the kind of collaborations we offer and to let them submit an application through our online form.

The Site does not sell products, does not host user accounts, does not offer paid services, and does not invite public comments, forums or uploads of any kind outside the application form itself. Submitting the form does not create an employment relationship, a contract of collaboration, or any obligation on our part to select you, contact you, or respond to your application.

3. Eligibility

To submit an application through the Site, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old;
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under the law of your country of residence;
• Provide information that is true, accurate, current and complete;
• Not be acting on behalf of another person without their explicit authorisation.

If we have reason to believe that any of the above is not met, we may discard your application without notice.

4. Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

• Submit information that is false, misleading, fraudulent or that impersonates another person;
• Submit content that infringes the intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any applicable regulation;
• Access the Site through automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) other than legitimate search-engine indexing;
• Attempt to interfere with the security, integrity or availability of the Site, or to probe, scan or test its vulnerabilities;
• Use the Site to harass, threaten or harm us, our collaborators, or any other person.

Breach of this section may result in immediate exclusion from any current or future application process and, where appropriate, in legal action.

5. Your application

The content you submit through the application form (answers, photos, links to public profiles, etc.) is referred to as your "Application". You remain the owner of your Application.

By submitting an Application, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free licence to access, store, review, share internally with the people involved in evaluating applications, and use your Application for the sole purpose of assessing your candidacy. This licence does not allow us to publish, reproduce, broadcast or commercially exploit your Application in any way. If a collaboration proceeds, any use of your name, image or work beyond the application-review stage will be governed by a separate, written agreement signed between you and us.

You are responsible for the content of your Application. You confirm that you have the right to share whatever you submit, and that sharing it with us does not breach any obligation you owe to a third party (including a previous or current agency, employer or partner).

6. Our content

The Site itself — including its layout, copy, images, logo, typography choices and the "Alfacinhas Studio" name — is protected by copyright, trade-mark law and unfair-competition law in Switzerland, in the European Union and internationally. We grant you a personal, non-commercial right to view the Site in a standard web browser. Beyond that, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, adapt, translate, frame, scrape or otherwise exploit the Site or any part of it without our prior written permission.

7. Third-party tools and links

The application form on the Site is hosted by Typeform. When you submit it, your data is also processed by the providers listed in our Privacy Policy (hosting, analytics, automation, email). These providers operate under their own terms of service and privacy policies, which we do not control.

The Site may also contain links to other websites operated by third parties (for example, social media platforms). We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security or practices of any third-party website. Visiting them is at your own risk.

8. Privacy

How we collect, use and protect your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. By using the Site, you confirm that you have read and understood that policy.

9. Availability and changes to the Site

We make reasonable efforts to keep the Site accessible, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or uninterrupted. We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Site at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you for doing so.

We may also update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always indicate the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you should stop using the Site.

10. Disclaimers

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Site's fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, absence of errors, or the accuracy of its content.

Nothing on the Site constitutes a promise, offer or guarantee of employment, collaboration, compensation or any particular outcome for applicants. Submitting an Application does not oblige us to respond, to shortlist you, or to engage in any further communication.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of data, loss of opportunity or reputational harm, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability for any direct damages arising out of or in connection with the Site shall be limited to one hundred Swiss francs (CHF 100).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or (iv) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Swiss law or under the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence in the European Union or European Economic Area.

12. Your indemnity to us

You agree to hold us harmless from any third-party claim, loss, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your breach of any applicable law, or (iii) your infringement of the rights of a third party through the content you submit.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the substantive law of Switzerland, excluding its rules on conflict of laws and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the ordinary courts of the Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland.

If you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the above choice of law and jurisdiction does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. You retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence and to rely on its mandatory consumer-protection rules.

The European Commission provides an online dispute-resolution platform accessible at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged, and do not commit, to use alternative dispute resolution to settle disputes with consumers.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site. If any provision is held to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign ours in the context of a restructuring, transfer of activity or similar operation, provided your rights are not diminished.
