4. Our services
We provide web design, web development, e-commerce, and SEO & growth services as described on our Services page. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline and price for your project will be set out in a written proposal or quotation. We will perform the Services with reasonable skill and care and in a professional manner.
5. Quotes, proposals & project scope
Quotations are based on the requirements you provide and are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. The agreed scope defines what is included. Work that falls outside the agreed scope (“out-of-scope work”) may be subject to additional fees, which we will agree with you in advance.
6. Fees, payment & deposits
- Prices are quoted in euro (EUR) and, where applicable, are exclusive of VAT, which will be added at the prevailing rate.
- Unless agreed otherwise, projects require a deposit (typically 50%) before work begins, with the balance due on completion or per the agreed milestones.
- Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless stated otherwise.
- We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts and to suspend work or withhold Deliverables until outstanding invoices are paid.
- Recurring services (such as care plans) are billed in advance and may be cancelled with reasonable notice as set out in the relevant agreement.
7. Your responsibilities
To deliver your project successfully, we rely on you to:
- provide accurate, complete content, materials and information in good time;
- ensure you own or are licensed to use any content, images, fonts or trademarks you supply;
- review work and provide consolidated feedback and approvals promptly;
- nominate a single point of contact authorised to make decisions; and
- maintain your own backups of any content you provide.
Delays in providing materials or approvals may affect the timeline and cost of your project.
8. Revisions & change requests
The number of revision rounds included is specified in your proposal. Additional revisions or changes to previously approved work may be charged at our applicable rate. Approved milestones are considered final for the purposes of progressing the project.
9. Intellectual property
- On full payment of all applicable fees, ownership of the final Deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you, except for any third-party components and our pre-existing or reusable tools.
- We retain ownership of our pre-existing materials, frameworks, code libraries and know-how, and grant you a non-exclusive licence to use them as part of your Deliverables.
- Third-party assets (such as stock images, fonts and plugins) are licensed under their own terms, which you are responsible for maintaining.
- Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may display the work we produce for you in our portfolio and marketing as an example of our services.
10. Third-party services
Your project may rely on third-party services (such as hosting, domains, content management systems, payment gateways or analytics). These are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, performance or changes. Any fees charged by third parties are your responsibility unless agreed otherwise.
11. Warranties & disclaimers
We warrant that the Services will be performed with reasonable skill and care. Except as expressly stated, the Services and Deliverables are provided “as is” and we make no other warranties, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that a website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will achieve any particular search ranking, traffic level or commercial result.
12. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that:
- we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill; and
- our total liability arising out of or in connection with a project is limited to the total fees paid by you for that project.
If you are a consumer, this section does not affect your statutory rights under EU and Maltese consumer protection law.
13. Termination & cancellation
Either party may terminate a project on written notice if the other materially breaches these Terms and fails to remedy the breach within 14 days. On termination, you will pay for all work performed and costs incurred up to the date of termination. Deposits are non-refundable to the extent work has been carried out. We may suspend or terminate access to the website at any time.
14. Force majeure
We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages, supplier failures, illness, or acts of government.
15. Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of Malta. The courts of Malta have exclusive jurisdiction, except that, if you are a consumer resident in the EU, you may also bring proceedings in your country of residence, and mandatory consumer protections of that country continue to apply.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you engage us applies to that engagement. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
