4) Proposals, Projects & Change Management

Work is typically governed by a proposal, statement of work (SOW), or order form (collectively, “Order”). An Order specifies scope, deliverables, timeline, fees, and assumptions. Changes to scope require written approval and may adjust fees or schedule.

  • Client Responsibilities. Provide timely feedback, access, and materials; designate a primary contact; ensure you have rights to any content you supply.
  • Approvals. Milestones may require written or email approval to proceed.
  • Delays. If client delays exceed [10] business days, we may pause the project and reschedule based on availability; additional fees may apply.

  • Agency IP & Tools. Our pre-existing methods, libraries, templates, and processes remain our property.
  • Deliverables. Upon full payment, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the final deliverables for your business. We may retain copies for records and portfolio.
  • Third-Party & Open-Source. Deliverables may include third-party or open-source components subject to their own licenses (e.g., WordPress, plugins, fonts). You agree to comply with their terms.
  • Portfolio Display. Unless you opt out in writing, you grant us permission to display your project, name, and non-confidential visuals in our portfolio and marketing.

7) Fees, Invoicing & Taxes

  • Fees and payment schedules are defined in the Order. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are due upon receipt.
  • Late payments may incur the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law, plus reasonable collection costs.
  • Quoted fees exclude taxes, duties, and government charges, which you are responsible to pay.

8) Cancellations, Pauses & Refunds

  • You may cancel with written notice. You remain responsible for fees for work performed to date, committed costs, and minimums specified in the Order.

  • Deposits or setup fees may be non-refundable if stated in the Order.

9) Hosting, Maintenance & Third-Party Services

  • Hosting. If hosting is provided, uptime, bandwidth, and storage are subject to the host’s terms and network conditions.
  • Maintenance. Ongoing updates, backups, and support require an active maintenance plan; otherwise, post-launch changes are billable.
  • Third Parties. We may recommend or integrate with services (e.g., plugins, analytics, email). Your use is governed by their terms, and availability is outside our control.

10) Accessibility, SEO & Performance

We design with accessibility, performance, and SEO best practices appropriate to scope; however, results can vary due to hosting, content, third-party scripts, and future changes. We do not guarantee specific rankings, scores, or outcomes unless expressly stated in an Order.

11) Confidentiality

Each party may access the other’s confidential information. The receiving party will protect it and use it only for the project. These duties do not apply to information that is public, independently developed, or obtained lawfully without duty of confidentiality.

12) Privacy

Your use of our site and services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. If we process personal data on your behalf, a separate data processing addendum (DPA) may apply.

13) Warranties & Disclaimers

  • We warrant that we will perform services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards.
  • EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED, THE SITE, SERVICES, AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

14) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS/REVENUE. EXCEPT FOR YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, IP INFRINGEMENT, OR INDEMNITY DUTIES, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO CW4U FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT.

17) Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, outages, war, strikes, governmental actions), provided the affected party uses reasonable efforts to resume performance.

18) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

19) Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

The courts located in [Your County], California have exclusive jurisdiction, except either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court.

Option B – Arbitration (use only if you choose): Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by [AAA/JAMS] under its rules. The seat will be [City, State]. Each party waives class actions. Add a 30-day arbitration opt-out link if required.

20) Miscellaneous

  • Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict, the Order controls, then these Terms.
  • Assignment. You may not assign without our consent; we may assign in connection with a merger or sale.
  • No Waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • Notices. We may send notices to the email you provide; you may send notices to kenny@customwebsiteforyou.com.
  • Electronic Acceptance. You agree that electronic approvals, e-signatures, and emails constitute written consent.
