1. Agreement
These terms govern your use of this website and any services provided by [Company legal name] ("we", "us"). By using the site you accept them. Individual projects are additionally governed by a signed proposal, which prevails where the two conflict.
2. Services
We provide web development, branding, marketing, consulting and support services. The scope of any engagement is defined exclusively in the written proposal. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer capable of acceptance.
3. Quotes and pricing
Quotes are valid for 30 days. Prices are fixed per the agreed scope. Work outside that scope is quoted separately and requires written approval before it begins.
4. Payment
Standard terms are 40% on commencement, 30% at the midpoint milestone and 30% on delivery, unless the proposal states otherwise. Invoices are payable within 14 days. Late payment may attract interest at [rate] and we may suspend work until the account is settled.
5. Client responsibilities
You agree to provide content, feedback and approvals within the timeframes in the project schedule, and to ensure you hold the rights to any material you supply. Delays in your approvals move the delivery date by an equivalent period.
6. Intellectual property
On full payment, all deliverables created specifically for you transfer to you, including source code and design files. Pre-existing components, libraries and internal tooling remain ours and are licensed to you perpetually for use within the delivered work.
We retain the right to display the work in our portfolio and case studies unless the proposal records otherwise.
7. Third-party services
Projects may rely on third-party services (hosting, fonts, APIs). Their terms and fees are your responsibility, and we are not liable for their availability, changes or discontinuation.
8. Warranty and support
We warrant that deliverables will substantially conform to the agreed scope for 30 days after delivery, and we will correct defects reported in that period at no charge. This does not cover changes of requirement, third-party failures or modifications made by others.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability under any engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost data. Nothing limits liability for death, personal injury or fraud.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate with 14 days written notice. You pay for completed milestones and work in progress, and you receive all deliverables produced to that point. Retainers may be cancelled with 30 days notice.
11. Confidentiality
Each party keeps the other's confidential information private and uses it solely for the engagement. This survives termination by 3 years.
12. Website use
Content on this site is provided for general information and may change without notice. You may not copy, scrape or republish it without written permission. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], and the courts of [jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction.
