Payment terms

Good to know

30-day bug-fix warranty
Anything that doesn't work as agreed and turns up within 30 days of launch is fixed free.
You own it
Once the final payment is made, you own the finished code, design and content.
Delays on your side
Timelines pause while we wait on your content, feedback or logins. If a project is on hold for more than 30 days, we'll agree a new schedule.
Cancelling
The deposit reserves your start date and covers the first stage of work, so it isn't refundable. If a project stops later, work completed beyond the payments made is billed at the hourly rate, and you get everything built so far.
Not included unless quoted
Writing your text, photography or stock images, logo and brand design, and translations.
Portfolio and reuse
We may show the finished project in our portfolio (just ask if you'd rather we didn't), and we keep the right to reuse our own general-purpose code and tools.
In writing
Every project is covered by a short written services agreement that includes these terms.
