Terms of Use

the paperwork: terms.

the plain rules for using this site and for working with the studio: who owns what, what we show, and which law applies.

11 october 2026

terms

how the site works, and how the work works.

anything here unclear

a person reads it. that is the whole system.

who you are dealing with

whysobasic, an independent creative studio working out of beirut. reach a person at info@whysobasic.com.

what is on this site

the writing, the code, the films, the wordmark and the strike through it belong to the studio or to the clients who commissioned the work. the typefaces and some of the code belong to the people who made them. look at it, link to it, quote it with a credit. do not republish it as your own and do not train on it.

nothing here is an offer

prices, timings and scopes discussed on this site or in a proposal are estimates until both sides sign something. the signed agreement is what binds, and where it disagrees with this page, it wins.

who owns the work

rights in the delivered work pass to the client on final payment, not before. working files, project scenes, unused directions and the tools we built to make it stay with the studio unless the agreement says otherwise.

we show what we make

we keep the right to show delivered work in this portfolio, in reels and in award submissions. if a project is under embargo or covered by an nda, tell us and we hold it until you say otherwise. ask us to take something down and we will.

the site is provided as it is

we build it carefully and we do not promise it is faultless or never offline. we are not liable for loss caused by using it, and we do not control the sites we link to.

which law applies

lebanese law, and the courts of beirut, unless a signed agreement with you names somewhere else.
