Terms of Service
for pigoid.com
Last updated: September 26, 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of pigoid.com (the “Website”) and your voluntary contributions to the Pigoid film project.
The Website and the Pigoid brand are owned and operated by Cum Laude OÜ (“Pigoid”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
By accessing the Website or making a voluntary contribution, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Website or make a contribution.
If you act on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms and to use the payment method provided.
2. Definitions
For the purposes of these Terms:
- Consumer means a natural person acting for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession.
- Contribution means a voluntary monetary payment made to support the production of the Pigoid film without entitlement to goods, services, rewards, ownership rights, profit participation or repayment.
- Contributor means a person or organisation that makes a Contribution.
- User means any person who accesses or uses the Website or makes a Contribution.
3. Eligibility to Use the Website
You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your country of residence to make a Contribution.
If you are under the age at which you can independently enter into a contract, you may use the Website or make a Contribution only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate, complete and current and that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.
4. Payments
Payments for Contributions are processed securely by Stripe. Stripe may collect and process payment, contact and transaction information in accordance with its own terms and privacy policy.
We do not receive or store your complete payment card details.
You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method provided and that the payment information is accurate. A Contribution is not complete until the payment has been successfully processed.
Payments may be displayed and processed in a currency different from the currency of your card or bank account. Your bank, card issuer or payment provider may apply currency conversion rates or fees for which we are not responsible.
5. Voluntary Contributions
Contributions support the development and production of the Pigoid film. The Contributor chooses the amount, subject to any minimum or maximum limits displayed on the payment page.
Contributions are voluntary and do not constitute the purchase of a product or service. A Contribution does not give the Contributor any goods, services, rewards, ownership rights, intellectual property rights, investment interest, share of profits, decision-making rights or right to repayment.
A Contribution does not create any guarantee or obligation that the film will be completed, released by a particular date, distributed through a particular platform, contain particular content or achieve any particular commercial, creative or other result. Creative, production, financing, release and distribution decisions remain solely with us and our authorised production partners.
We may use Contributions for costs reasonably connected with the development, production, post-production, promotion, administration, financing and distribution of the Pigoid film project. Contributions are made to Cum Laude OÜ and do not create a trust, escrow arrangement, partnership, joint venture or fiduciary relationship.
Except where required by applicable law or where we determine that a payment was duplicated, unauthorised, fraudulent or made in error, successfully processed Contributions are generally non-refundable. Any approved refund will normally be returned to the original payment method. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
6. Optional Supporter Acknowledgements
When making a Contribution, you may be asked whether we may consider displaying your chosen name at the end of the film. This choice is optional and you may make a Contribution without requesting public acknowledgement.
Providing permission or a chosen name does not guarantee inclusion in the film. It is a voluntary acknowledgement and is not a good, service, reward or other benefit provided in exchange for the Contribution.
We retain reasonable editorial and production discretion over the film credits. We may omit a submitted name for production, technical, legal, safety or editorial reasons, including where a name is unlawful, misleading, offensive, infringes another person’s rights or is otherwise unsuitable for publication.
You confirm that you have the right to submit the chosen name and that its publication will not infringe another person’s rights or violate applicable law. A submitted company name, brand, logo, promotional message or similar commercial material will not be treated as advertising or sponsorship unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement.
If a chosen name is included, it may be visible worldwide as part of the film’s end credits through screenings, distribution, streaming, broadcasts, recordings and other authorised releases of the film.
You may withdraw permission or request a correction by contacting info@pigoid.com. We will honour requests where reasonably possible before the film credits are finalised. After a version of the film has been completed, released or distributed, it may not be technically or practically possible to remove or change the name in copies that have already been produced or made available. Further information is provided in our Privacy Policy.
7. Intellectual Property
The Website, film materials, text, graphics, illustrations, characters, designs, branding, logos and other materials are owned by or licensed to Cum Laude OÜ and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
You may browse the Website and view materials made available for that purpose. Except as permitted by applicable law or our express permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, adapt, sell or commercially exploit our protected materials, or remove proprietary notices.
Making a Contribution does not transfer any ownership or intellectual property rights to you.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Website for unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purposes;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its systems, accounts or data;
- interfere with the security, availability or proper operation of the Website;
- introduce malware, harmful code, automated scraping tools or an unreasonable technical load;
- circumvent access controls, payment systems or technical protection measures;
- misrepresent your identity or payment authority; or
- use our content in a way that infringes our rights or the rights of another person.
9. User Content and Communications
The Website does not currently provide public user-posting features. If you send us feedback, enquiries, testimonials or other material, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and that it does not infringe another person’s rights or violate applicable law.
You retain ownership of material you submit. Where you expressly agree that we may publish a testimonial or similar material, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce and display that material for the agreed purpose. You may withdraw permission for future use by contacting us, without affecting lawful use that occurred before withdrawal.
Supporter names submitted for possible inclusion in the film credits are governed by Section 6 of these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Website may use or contain links to third-party services, including Stripe, analytics providers, video platforms and other external websites.
Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, availability or practices of independent third-party websites or services, except to the extent responsibility cannot be excluded under applicable law.
The inclusion of a third-party link does not necessarily imply endorsement.
11. Privacy and Cookies
Our collection and use of personal data, including payment information and optional supporter names, are described in our Privacy Policy. The Website may use essential cookies and, with consent where required, preferences, statistics or marketing cookies.
Cookie preferences can be managed through the cookie banner or the consent settings in our Cookie Policy. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will not be activated before consent is provided.
12. Availability of the Website
We may update, maintain, suspend or modify the Website where reasonably necessary. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available without interruption or error.
13. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable, fraud or mandatory consumer rights.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business opportunity or loss resulting from a User’s failure to follow reasonable technical or security instructions.
Nothing in these Terms creates liability merely because the Pigoid film is delayed, changed, not distributed through a particular platform or not completed, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
14. Indemnification
If you use the Website for business purposes, you agree to compensate us for reasonable losses, liabilities and costs arising directly from your unlawful use, infringement of intellectual property rights or material breach of these Terms.
This section does not apply to Consumers to the extent that it would restrict mandatory consumer rights or impose liability not permitted by applicable law.
15. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Website where we reasonably believe that you have materially breached these Terms, infringed intellectual property rights, engaged in fraud or created a security risk.
Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to remedy the breach before termination. Immediate action may be taken where necessary to prevent fraud, unlawful activity, security harm or continued infringement.
Termination does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination. Provisions concerning Contributions, supporter acknowledgements, intellectual property, liability, governing law and other terms intended by their nature to survive will remain in effect.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our film project, business practices, technology or legal obligations.
The version applicable to a Contribution is the version presented or linked when the relevant transaction is made. Material changes will not retroactively reduce mandatory rights relating to a completed transaction unless required by law or expressly agreed with you.
The latest version will be published on this page with the updated date shown above.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights available under the law of your country of habitual residence.
We encourage you to contact us first so that we can attempt to resolve any concern directly.
If you are a Consumer residing in the European Union or European Economic Area, you may also have the right to submit a complaint to the competent consumer dispute resolution body in your country of residence. You retain the right to bring proceedings before any court that has jurisdiction under applicable law.
For business Users, disputes that cannot be resolved amicably will be subject to the courts of the Republic of Estonia, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
18. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. The invalid provision will be interpreted or replaced, where legally possible, in a way that most closely reflects its lawful purpose.
Our failure to enforce a provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a business reorganisation or transfer, provided that this does not reduce mandatory rights available to Consumers.
These Terms, together with the relevant contribution description, payment confirmation and Privacy Policy, form the agreement between you and us regarding the relevant transaction and use of the Website.
