1. Who these terms apply to
These terms apply to any individual or business ("you", "the client") that engages Devespresso ("we", "us") for web design, development, or related services. A project begins when we both agree on scope and price — whether by email confirmation or a signed proposal.
2. Pricing & payment
- —All prices are quoted upfront and agreed before any work begins. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
- —50% deposit is due before work starts. The remaining 50% is due on delivery, before final files or site access are transferred.
- —Invoices are payable within 7 days of issue. Late payments may pause work on your project.
- —Out-of-scope requests (additional pages, features, or significant design changes) will be quoted separately and require approval before we proceed.
3. Revisions
- —Each package includes a set number of revision rounds as stated in your quote. Revisions mean adjustments to existing work — not new features or direction changes.
- —Additional revision rounds beyond what's included are charged at our standard hourly rate, agreed in advance.
- —We ask that feedback is consolidated — one clear round of notes per revision stage, not drip-fed changes.
4. Timelines
- —We agree a delivery timeline before work begins. We commit to it and expect the same from you on feedback and approvals.
- —If you delay providing feedback, content, or approvals by more than 7 days, the timeline will shift accordingly.
- —If a project is paused by the client for more than 30 days, we reserve the right to re-schedule it or apply a restart fee.
5. Intellectual property & ownership
- —Once final payment is received, you own all custom code, designs, and assets we created specifically for your project.
- —Third-party tools, fonts, plugins, or frameworks used in your project remain subject to their own licences. We'll flag anything that has a cost or usage restriction.
- —We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio, on our website, and in sales materials shown to potential clients — unless you request otherwise in writing before the project starts. This includes screenshots, live links, and descriptions of the work.
6. Your responsibilities
- —You are responsible for providing accurate content, brand assets, and access credentials we need to do the work.
- —You confirm that any content, images, or materials you supply don't infringe third-party rights. We're not liable for content you provide.
- —You're responsible for reviewing and approving your site before launch. Sign-off means you're happy with the result.
7. Cancellation
- —Either party can cancel a project with written notice.
- —If you cancel after work has begun, the deposit is non-refundable. If significant work has been completed beyond the deposit value, we'll invoice for work done to date.
- —If we cancel (which we'd only do in exceptional circumstances), we'll refund any payment for work not yet started.
8. Post-launch support
- —All projects include 30 days of post-launch support at no extra cost, covering bug fixes and minor adjustments.
- —After 30 days, ongoing support is available under a separate maintenance plan. Changes outside a plan are charged at our standard rate.
9. Liability
We take our work seriously and stand behind it. That said, our liability is limited to the total amount you paid us for the project. We're not liable for indirect losses, loss of revenue, or consequential damages arising from use of the site.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
