Terms and Conditions

1. Parties

These terms govern the relationship between Digital Editions Web Design (James Goatley, trading as Digital Editions Web Design) ("we", "us", "our") and any client engaging our services ("you", "the client").

2. Services

We provide website design, development, and maintenance services. The exact scope of work for each project is agreed in writing before any work begins. Any changes to the agreed scope must be confirmed in writing by both parties.

3. Payment

Project fees and payment schedules are agreed before work begins. Invoices are due within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Work will not proceed beyond agreed milestones until the corresponding payment has been received.

Late payments may incur interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate, in line with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

4. Intellectual property

On receipt of full payment, all rights in the completed website pass to you. Until full payment is received, we retain all intellectual property rights in the work.

We reserve the right to include the completed project in our portfolio unless you request otherwise in writing before the project begins.

5. Client-supplied content

You are responsible for ensuring any content you supply (text, images, logos, data) does not infringe any third-party rights. You agree to indemnify us against any claims arising from content you have supplied.

6. Limitation of liability

Our total liability to you in connection with any project will not exceed the fees paid for that project. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or loss of profit arising from our services.

We are not responsible for any third-party services, platforms, or hosting providers and their availability or performance.

7. Termination

Either party may terminate a project with 14 days' written notice. You will be invoiced for all work completed up to the termination date. Retainer agreements require 30 days' written notice to cancel.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
