These are the terms for building and looking after your website. I've kept them short and plain. If anything is unclear, email me before you pay the deposit.
"I" and "me" means Francis Dexter Brown, trading as Dexter Brown Web, Old Hall, Kerdiston Road, Reepham, Norwich, NR10 4RY.
"You" means the business I'm building the website for. These terms are for business clients.
Before I start, I send you a written quote. It says what I'll build, the price, and roughly how long it will take. The quote and these terms together make up our agreement.
Timings start once I have everything I need from you, such as your text and photos.
If you want anything that isn't in the quote, I'll price it in writing before I do it.
Two rounds of changes are included before launch. A round is one list of changes, sent together. I make them all, then send the site back for you to check.
Changes after launch are covered by ongoing care if you have it, or quoted separately if you don't.
You supply the text, photos and logos for your site. By sending them, you confirm you own them or have permission to use them on your website.
You are responsible for what your content says, including prices and claims about your business. If anyone makes a claim against either of us because of content you supplied, you are responsible for it.
Your domain name, such as yourbusiness.co.uk, is registered in your name. You control it, even if you stop working with me.
Once you have paid in full, the finished site is yours. Until then, the work stays mine.
If you'd like me to host your site, keep it updated and make small changes, that's a monthly fee set out in your quote.
It runs month to month. To stop, email me and give 30 days notice. When the notice ends, I stop hosting the site. The site and the domain stay yours.
If I let you down, the most I'll owe you is what you have paid me.
I'm not responsible for indirect losses, such as lost profit or lost business.
Nothing in these terms limits my responsibility for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow me to limit.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales.
If I update these terms, the version you agreed to when you paid your deposit applies to your project.
