Common questions about website rental

What happens if I stop the subscription?

You give three months' notice after the first twelve months. Your text and your photos are handed over as source files, and the domain stays in your name.

Who owns the domain name and the photos?

The domain name is registered in your name. The photos from the session are yours, with no limit of duration or medium.

Three weeks, really?

Yes, on two conditions: you answer the brief within three days and the photo session takes place in the first week. INDYANASTUDIO went online on that basis.

Who writes the text?

Christophe, starting from a one-hour call. You review it and you decide before it goes online.

Why no cookies?

No advertising trackers, so no banner to click. Visits are counted on the server side, with no personal data.
