Legal
Terms of Use
Effective Date:
Welcome to MelonPixels.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the MelonPixels website, including its pages, content, features, forms, and other materials made available through the website.
By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
In these Terms, “MelonPixels,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MelonPixels and the business operating under the MelonPixels name.
1. About MelonPixels
MelonPixels is a digital design and marketing business based in the Philippines. We provide services such as website design and development, copywriting, search engine optimization, social media content creation, and related digital services.
Our website allows you to learn about our services, view selected projects, explore available plans or packages, read our content, and contact us regarding a potential project.
The information available on our website is intended to help you understand what we offer. It does not, by itself, create a contractual relationship between you and MelonPixels.
2. Website Use Does Not Create a Client Relationship
Browsing our website, contacting us, submitting an inquiry, completing a form, requesting a quotation, or discussing a potential project does not automatically make you a MelonPixels client.
A client relationship begins only when we have mutually agreed on the applicable project terms, which may include the scope of work, deliverables, fees, payment schedule, timeline, revision limits, responsibilities, and other project-specific conditions.
These may be contained in a proposal, quotation, service agreement, statement of work, invoice, written confirmation, or other agreement between you and MelonPixels.
If a project-specific agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding the services being provided, the project-specific agreement will generally control for that project.
3. Service Information, Packages, and Pricing
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on our website clear and up to date. However, our services may evolve over time.
We may update our:
- Services and deliverables
- Packages and inclusions
- Pricing
- Promotional offers
- Project processes
- Availability
- Timelines
- Website content
unless doing so would conflict with an existing agreement that we have already entered into with a client.
Prices displayed on the website apply only to the services and inclusions described with them. Additional requirements, third-party costs, expanded scope, custom functionality, additional revisions, or other services may result in additional fees.
Where we provide you with a specific quotation or proposal, the terms of that quotation or proposal will govern the applicable project pricing.
Promotions may also be subject to additional conditions, availability, eligibility requirements, deadlines, or client limits stated alongside the promotion.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
Unless otherwise stated, the MelonPixels website and the original content created for it are owned by, licensed to, or used with permission by MelonPixels.
This may include:
- Website copy
- Graphics and illustrations
- Page layouts
- User interface designs
- Branding elements
- Logos and visual assets
- Photographs
- Videos and animations
- Case study presentations
- Code and website components
- Articles and other written content
These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may view and use the website for legitimate personal or business evaluation purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute, modify, commercially exploit, or present MelonPixels content as your own without our written permission or another lawful basis for doing so.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of MelonPixels intellectual property to you.
5. Client Work and Third-Party Intellectual Property
Our website may feature work created for clients, including websites, designs, branding materials, screenshots, copy, campaign materials, photographs, logos, trademarks, and other project assets.
Ownership of individual materials may belong to MelonPixels, our clients, licensors, photographers, software providers, or other third parties depending on the project and applicable agreements.
Client names, logos, trademarks, products, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.
Their appearance on the MelonPixels website does not give website visitors permission to copy or use those materials.
6. Acceptable Use

In particular, you must not:

We may restrict or block access to the website where we reasonably believe it is being misused.
7. Information You Submit to Us
You may choose to provide information through our contact forms, project questionnaires, email, or other communication channels.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to provide any materials you send to us.
When you submit materials for an inquiry or potential project, you authorize us to use those materials as reasonably necessary to review your request, communicate with you, prepare a quotation or proposal, and determine whether we can provide the requested services.

Please avoid sending passwords, financial credentials, highly sensitive personal information, or other confidential information unless it is necessary for the purpose of your request and an appropriate method of sharing it has been agreed upon.
8. Privacy
Your privacy is important to us.
Our collection and handling of personal information through the website are described separately in our Privacy Policy.

9. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may link to or make use of third-party websites, platforms, applications, tools, plugins, hosting providers, analytics services, social networks, or other external services.
These third parties operate independently from MelonPixels and may have their own terms, privacy practices, and policies.
We do not control third-party websites or services and cannot guarantee their availability, accuracy, security, functionality, or continued operation.
A link to another website does not necessarily mean that MelonPixels endorses everything available on that website.
Your use of third-party services is subject to the terms and policies of the applicable provider.

We aim to provide a reliable and useful website, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or completely up to date.
From time to time, we may:

- Perform maintenance
- Correct errors

We may also correct typographical errors, outdated information, technical inaccuracies, or other mistakes when we discover them.
We do not guarantee specific business, marketing, search ranking, traffic, revenue, conversion, or other commercial results simply from using information found on our website.
Any examples, case studies, results, or project outcomes shown on the website should be understood in their individual context and should not be treated as a guarantee that every client will achieve identical results.
11. Informational Content
Articles, guides, resources, recommendations, and other informational content published by MelonPixels are provided for general informational purposes.
Digital marketing, search engines, technology, software platforms, industry practices, and online services change frequently. Information that was accurate when published may eventually become outdated.
You should evaluate information according to your own circumstances before making important business, financial, legal, technical, or other decisions.
Where appropriate, you should consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MelonPixels will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or similar losses arising solely from your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website or its general informational content.
This may include losses resulting from interruptions, third-party services, external links, technical issues, or reliance on information that has become outdated.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or limit any right, remedy, warranty, obligation, or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Liability relating to paid services provided to a MelonPixels client may be governed separately by the applicable proposal, agreement, quotation, or other project terms.

Any dispute relating to these Terms or use of the website will be handled in accordance with applicable Philippine laws and rules regarding jurisdiction and venue.
Before beginning formal proceedings, we encourage users to contact us so that we can attempt to resolve concerns directly and in good faith where appropriate.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, business practices, technology, or applicable requirements.
When we make changes, we will publish the updated version on this page and revise the effective date where appropriate.
Your continued use of the website after updated Terms become effective means that your subsequent use of the website will be subject to the updated Terms.
We encourage you to review this page periodically.
16. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
