Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By engaging Vertinus for web design services, you ("Client") agree to the terms below. These terms govern the relationship between you and Vertinus for any design, development, or related services we provide.

2. Services

Vertinus will provide web design and development services as described in the project proposal or quote agreed upon before work begins. The scope of work, deliverables, and timeline will be specified in that proposal.

Any work outside the agreed scope will be quoted separately before it is undertaken.

3. Payment

Projects are priced as a flat fee, payable in two instalments unless otherwise agreed: 50% upfront before work begins, and 50% upon delivery of the completed site. Work does not begin until the initial payment is received.

All fees are quoted in USD unless specified otherwise.

4. Revisions

Each project includes a reasonable number of revisions as specified in the proposal. Revisions must be requested within 14 days of delivery. Changes that constitute new work (additional pages, features, or substantially altered design direction) will be quoted separately.

5. Client responsibilities

The Client is responsible for providing all necessary content (text, images, logos, brand guidelines) in a timely manner. Delays in providing content may result in timeline adjustments. The Client warrants that they have the rights to any content they provide and that its use will not infringe on third-party rights.

6. Intellectual property

Upon receipt of final payment, the Client receives full ownership of the completed website code and design. Vertinus retains the right to display the work in a portfolio unless the Client requests otherwise in writing.

Third-party assets (fonts, icons, stock imagery) remain subject to their respective licences, which the Client is responsible for maintaining.

7. Warranties and liability

Vertinus will build your site to a professional standard using current best practices. However, we do not guarantee specific search engine rankings, conversion rates, or business outcomes.

Our liability for any claim arising from the services is limited to the total fees paid for the specific project giving rise to that claim.

8. Cancellation

Either party may cancel a project with written notice. If the Client cancels after work has begun, they are responsible for payment proportional to the work completed at the time of cancellation. The initial deposit is non-refundable after work has started.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation before any formal proceedings.
