Last updated on:

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the WP Web Designers website (ivory-oryx-130615.hostingersite.com) and any services you engage us to provide, including WordPress website design, development, SEO, maintenance, and related services. By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.

Use of Our Website

You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use of, this website by any third party. Content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is the property of WP Web Designers unless otherwise stated, and may not be reproduced without permission.

Services

WP Web Designers provides WordPress website design, development, e-commerce (WooCommerce) development, SEO, speed optimization, maintenance and support, hosting, security, compliance-related services, and related web services (“Services”), as described on our Services page and agreed upon in an individual project scope or contract.

Quotes and Scope

All project quotes are provided in writing following a consultation and scoping discussion. A quote is valid for [INSERT VALIDITY PERIOD, e.g., 30 days] from the date issued unless otherwise stated. Work begins only after a scope and quote have been mutually agreed upon in writing.

Changes to Scope

Any changes to the agreed project scope after work has started will be documented and may result in an adjusted timeline or additional cost, communicated and approved before the additional work begins.

Payment Terms

  • Project pricing is fixed as quoted, unless a documented scope change occurs.
  • [INSERT YOUR PAYMENT STRUCTURE, e.g.: A deposit of [X]% is required before work begins, with the remaining balance due upon completion / in milestone installments.]
  • Maintenance and retainer services are billed monthly in advance, unless otherwise agreed.
  • Late payments may result in a pause of active work until the account is brought current.
  • All fees are non-refundable once work has commenced, except as required by applicable law or as otherwise stated in an individual project agreement.

Intellectual Property and Ownership

Upon full and final payment for a completed project, ownership of the final website design and custom code developed specifically for the client transfers to the client. WP Web Designers retains the right to:

  • Display the completed project in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials, unless the client requests confidentiality in writing
  • Reuse general, non-client-specific code frameworks, snippets, and development methods across other projects

Third-party themes, plugins, stock assets, and licensed software used in a project remain subject to their original licensing terms and are not owned by WP Web Designers or transferred as proprietary IP.

Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for:

  • Providing timely content, feedback, and approvals needed to keep a project on schedule
  • Maintaining valid hosting, domain, and any third-party service accounts required for the site to function
  • Ensuring any content or materials provided to us for use on the site do not infringe third-party rights

Delays caused by late client feedback or missing content may extend the agreed project timeline accordingly.

Warranties and Disclaimers

We build every site to the technical and performance standards described on our website (e.g., Core Web Vitals optimization, accessibility standards). However, we do not guarantee specific search engine rankings, traffic levels, or business outcomes, as these depend on factors outside our control, including search engine algorithm changes, market conditions, and client-side content decisions after launch.

Our website and services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, except as explicitly stated in an individual signed service agreement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, WP Web Designers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our website or services, including loss of revenue, data, or business opportunity. Our total liability for any claim arising from a project shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client for that specific project.

Maintenance and Support

Ongoing maintenance plans cover the services explicitly listed in the applicable plan (e.g., plugin updates, security monitoring, backups). Issues arising from changes made outside our team (e.g., by the client or a third party) after launch may not be covered under an existing maintenance plan and may be billed separately.

Termination

Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement (such as a maintenance retainer) with [INSERT NOTICE PERIOD, e.g., 30 days’] written notice. Upon termination, any outstanding fees for work completed become immediately due. Access to hosting, credentials, and site files will be handed over upon full and final payment.

Third-Party Services

Projects may involve third-party plugins, hosting providers, payment gateways, or integrations. WP Web Designers is not responsible for outages, pricing changes, or policy changes made by these third-party providers, though we will make reasonable efforts to advise clients of known risks during the project scoping stage.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [INSERT JURISDICTION, e.g., the State of ______, United States], without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or a service agreement will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
