Legal notice

Last updated: 2 August 2026

Article 1. Identification

Information published pursuant to French Act No. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy (loi pour la confiance dans l’économie numérique). The website https://vicou.studio is referred to below as “the Site”.

1.1 The publisher

Publication director: Mr Victor Rouvreau, reachable at the details above.

1.2 Host of the Site

IONOS SARL 7 place de la Gare, BP 70109 57200 Sarreguemines Cedex, France Telephone: 0970 808 911

1.3 Data storage

The data processed in connection with the publication of the Site (personal space, call-back requests) is stored by:

IONOS SARL, 7 place de la Gare, BP 70109, 57200 Sarreguemines Cedex, France.

1.4 VAT and prices

The publisher benefits from the VAT basic exemption scheme (franchise en base de TVA): no VAT is charged, and the wording “TVA non applicable, article 293 B du CGI” (VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code) appears on quotes and invoices.

The prices displayed do not include VAT. Nor do they include the costs paid directly by the client to third parties (hosting, domain name, email addresses, subscription to an online commerce platform), or the options and additional work agreed in writing. Should the publisher cease to qualify for the exemption scheme, the prices of services not yet ordered will be amended accordingly.

Article 2. Purpose of the Site

The Site presents the activity of a service provider: the creation of websites. It is not a shop selling physical goods: no tangible product is sold, shipped or returned there. It also allows the visitor:

1. to view demonstrations, which are mock-ups intended to show a look and feel. The website actually delivered is built on WordPress, or on Shopify when the chosen template is an online shop;
2. to request a call back by means of a form;
3. to access a private personal space, open to clients of the package in which the client fills in the site themselves and to those who have purchased the videos option, for the term set out in the contract;
4. for one of the three packages only, to pay online through Stripe, on that payment provider’s own pages. The Site does not collect, process or store any bank card data.

The delivered website runs on hosting and a domain name bought and paid for by the client, in the client’s own name, and where applicable on a subscription to an online commerce platform taken out by the client. These costs are recurring and borne by the client.

The terms of the service (scope, contents of each package, timescales, prices, payment, withdrawal, support, assignment of rights) are set out in the terms and conditions of sale and in the quote accepted by the client.

They can be read here: Terms and conditions of sale, as can the information notice on the right of withdrawal.

Article 3. Intellectual property in the Site

This article concerns the Site and the demonstrations published on it, not the websites delivered to clients: rights in a delivered website are governed by the assignment clause set out in the terms and conditions of sale and in the quote.

The contents of the Site (text, trade marks, logos, images, videos, mock-ups, developments) are protected under intellectual property law and belong to the publisher, to its partners or to the rights holders who have authorized their use. Any reproduction or representation, in whole or in part, made without the consent of the author or of their successors in title is unlawful (article L122-4 of the French Intellectual Property Code, code de la propriété intellectuelle).

Article 4. Liability

The publisher may suspend access to the Site at any time for an update or for maintenance. The information published is provided for guidance: the publisher cannot be held liable for an interruption of access that is not attributable to it.

Liability in respect of the services ordered is governed by the terms and conditions of sale. These provisions apply within the limits permitted by law and do not restrict the visitor’s mandatory rights, in particular where the visitor is a consumer.

Article 5. Personal data

The publisher processes personal data, in particular when a call-back is requested, when the personal space is used and when services are invoiced. The details of this processing (data, purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention periods, transfers outside the European Union, rights) are set out in the privacy policy, which forms an integral part of this legal notice.

It can be read here: Privacy policy.

Any request may be sent to contact@vicou.studio or to the postal address in article 1.1. The publisher does not sell, rent or pass on any data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Article 6. Cookies and local storage

The Site uses no advertising cookie, no audience measurement and no third-party tracker: no Google Analytics, no Google Tag Manager, no advertising pixel. Fonts are hosted on the Site itself and call no third-party server.

The only markers placed on or read from your device are the following:

None of these markers contains personal data or any secret. All are strictly necessary for the service expressly requested by the user: placing them does not require prior consent and the Site displays no banner.

Article 7. Consumer mediation

In accordance with articles L612-1 and L616-1 of the French Consumer Code (code de la consommation), any consumer may use a mediator free of charge for the amicable resolution of a dispute with a trader.

Mandatory prior step. The consumer must first send a written complaint to the publisher, at contact@vicou.studio or to the postal address in article 1.1. A request for mediation is admissible only if it is brought within one year of that written complaint.

The mediator to whom the publisher is affiliated is:

Article 8. Governing law and language

This legal notice is governed by French law. A consumer client residing in another Member State of the European Union retains the benefit of the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence and the right to bring proceedings before the court of their own domicile.

The Site is published in French and in English. In the event of a discrepancy in wording, the French version prevails.
