You agree to take full responsibility for all usage of the domain name, hosting and email services and to fully abide by the terms and conditions set out by the third-party for such services.
Websites & Design
Please note, that an HTML page built from a graphic design may not exactly match the original design because of the difference between the display in design software and the rendering of HTML code by the internet browser software. We will try to match the design as closely as is possible when building the code.
We do our best to create pages that are accessible to search engines. However, we can give no guarantee that the site will become listed upfront with search engines, as it depends on many factors beyond our control.
If an error or issue with the design or code arises during the project, which does not allow the design or code to match the original plans, then we will apply a nearest available alternative solution.
After a subscription cancellation, we take no responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the websites we produced. Websites may start malfunctioning after a while if they are not updated continuously due to browser updates and other changing factors. You or any third party of your choosing may wish to edit the website code yourselves to make updates. However, in doing so, you have full responsibility for any issues which occur as a result of changing the code yourselves
After cancellation, it is your responsibility to have regular backups in case of a software or hardware failure at the third-party hosting servers. We only keep design files, research, copy and all other material until your subscription is active, therefore we advise you to save everything you need until your Subscription is active.
We test our sites and templates to ensure they comply with W3C, CSS, HTML5 standards during your active subscription period. Should updated W3C, CSS, HTML5 guidelines be introduced after your Subscription plan is cancelled, we are not responsible for the additional work.
We make every effort to ensure sites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Sites are designed to work with the standard development platform, which includes recent versions of the main browsers, Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Edge (latest version only). We cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.
After your Subscription plan is cancelled, any updated software versions of the browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge), domain name set-up changes or hosting set-up changes may affect the functionality and display of your website. We can only resolve such problems under an active Subscription plan.
Please note that we are a digital design studio and we do not prepare materials for printing. If you wish to print our designs you have to take care of finalizing the materials, checking the colors, printing proof, etc. so that they are ready to print. Therefore we do not take responsibility for any printing failure, mistake, etc.
