Last updated: 16 June 2026

About Duces

Duces ("Duces", "we", "us" or "our") is a boutique technology consulting firm, organised as a partnership and deeply specialised in Data & AI, Digital products and platforms, and Enterprise Apps & Platforms. These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of duces.co (the "Site").

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to comply with them, together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms on its behalf.

Website use, not a services contract

These terms govern the Site only. They are not an offer to provide services and do not create any consulting, advisory or other engagement. Any services we provide are governed exclusively by a separate, signed agreement as described under "Engagements & proposals" below.

Definitions

A few defined terms are used throughout this page for clarity and consistency.

Key terms

  • "Site" — the website operated by Duces at duces.co.
  • "Content" — all material on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, illustrations, layout and code.
  • "You" — any person or organisation accessing or using the Site.
  • "Engagement" — consulting services delivered by Duces under a separate signed agreement, such as a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and/or Statement of Work (SOW).

Use of the Site

Our content is provided for general information about who we are and what we do. We ask that you use the Site responsibly.

Acceptable use

You may use the Site for lawful purposes — to learn about Duces, to read our material, and to contact us about working together. The Site and its Content are provided for general information only and do not constitute professional, legal, financial or technical advice on which you should rely.

Prohibited use

You agree not to:

  • use the Site in any way that breaches applicable law or these terms;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers or related systems;
  • introduce malware or otherwise interfere with the Site's operation or security;
  • scrape, harvest, systematically extract or republish Content without our written consent; or
  • misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organisation.

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site at any time if we reasonably believe these terms are being breached.

Intellectual property

The Site and its Content belong to Duces or its licensors and are protected by law.

Ownership of Content

All Content on the Site is owned by Duces or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws. Except where we expressly allow it, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify or create derivative works from any part of the Site without our prior written consent. You may view and print pages for your own internal, non-commercial reference.

Trade marks

"Duces" and our logos are trade marks of Duces. Other product, service and company names referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only; their use does not imply any endorsement or affiliation.

Engagements & proposals

How an enquiry through the Site turns into a working relationship with Duces.

No binding offer

Information on the Site, including descriptions of our services, is provided for general guidance and does not constitute a binding offer. Submitting the "Hire Us" form, or otherwise contacting us, does not create a contract or oblige either of us to proceed.

Services under separate agreement

Consulting services are delivered only under a separate Engagement agreed in writing between you (or your organisation) and Duces. That agreement — typically a Master Services Agreement and/or Statement of Work — sets out the scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, warranties, data protection terms and liability that apply to the work. In the event of any conflict between these Site terms and a signed Engagement, the Engagement prevails for that work.

Confidentiality

We treat non-public information you share with us when discussing a potential Engagement as confidential and use it only to evaluate and respond to your enquiry. Confidentiality obligations for an actual Engagement are set out in the relevant signed agreement.

Disclaimers & liability

These provisions limit our responsibility for your use of the Site, to the extent the law allows.

Disclaimer

The Site and its Content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we take care to keep information accurate and up to date, we make no warranties or representations, express or implied, that the Content is complete, current or error-free, or that the Site will be uninterrupted or free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Duces will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Liability in respect of an Engagement is governed solely by the relevant signed agreement.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Duces against reasonable claims, losses and costs arising from your misuse of the Site or your breach of these terms.

Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of those sites, and a link does not imply our endorsement.

Governing law & contact

The law that applies to these terms, and how to reach us with any question.

Governing law & jurisdiction

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Site, are governed by the laws of Romania and, where applicable, the law of the European Union. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Bucharest, Romania.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, with the "last updated" date shown above. Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
