4. Website Content & Client Responsibilities
4.1 Content Provision
You may provide text, images, logos, prices, product information, business details, and other materials required for your website.
Where your plan includes content creation or rewriting, we may create or improve content based on the information you provide.
You confirm that any content or materials you provide:
- Are accurate to the best of your knowledge
- Do not knowingly infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, or other third-party rights
- May legally be used by us for the purpose of providing the agreed service
4.2 Reviews & Social Media
You are responsible for your own social media accounts, customer relationships, and review activity.
Where we provide review or social media integration, setup, or guidance, we rely on the access and information you provide and on the availability and functionality of the relevant third-party platform.
5. SEO & Advanced SEO Services
5.1 SEO Nature
SEO is an ongoing process and search engine results depend on many factors outside our control.
We do not guarantee:
- Specific search engine rankings
- Specific levels of website traffic
- Specific numbers of leads or enquiries
- Specific sales or revenue
Our SEO services are intended to improve the technical quality, structure, content, and visibility of your website, but search engines ultimately determine how and where websites appear in search results.
5.2 Advanced SEO Services
Advanced SEO Services may be available as a yearly or monthly service, depending on the option shown on our website.
Advanced SEO may include content optimisation, technical SEO, schema markup, business listings, on-page optimisation, image optimisation, and other search visibility work as described on the relevant service page.
Some SEO tools, software, and third-party services may be required to maintain certain functionality. Where a third-party service is essential to the agreed service, its availability and pricing may be subject to change.
6. Business Listings & Third-Party Platforms
6.1 Third-Party Control
Platforms such as Google Business Profile, Trustpilot, Yell, Facebook, and other third-party services operate independently and apply their own rules and eligibility requirements.
Approval, suspension, review moderation, visibility, account restrictions, and removal are controlled by the relevant third-party platform.
6.2 Eligibility & Verification
Some platforms may require evidence or verification before approving a listing. This may include business registration information, matching business details, signage, location information, photographs, or other evidence.
It is your responsibility to provide accurate information and any evidence reasonably required for verification.
6.3 No Guarantee of Approval
We follow applicable platform guidelines and provide guidance based on the information available to us, but we cannot guarantee:
- Approval of a listing
- Continued approval or visibility
- Protection from suspension or removal
- Review publication or moderation outcomes
If a third-party platform rejects, suspends, restricts, or removes a listing, we are not responsible for the platform’s decision.
7. Website Hosting, Domains & Email
7.1 Hosting
Where hosting is included in your plan, we provide or arrange hosting as described on the relevant plan page.
Hosting is subject to the policies, availability, and technical limitations of the relevant hosting provider.
7.2 Domains
Where a domain is included in your plan, the applicable renewal terms will be stated on the relevant plan page.
Where a domain is purchased or managed by you independently, you remain responsible for keeping the domain registered and renewed.
7.3 Business Email
Where professional email accounts are included, the number of accounts and storage limits will depend on the chosen plan.
Additional email accounts or services may be subject to additional charges where stated.
8. Website Ownership & Access
Website ownership, hosting, domain registration, software licences, and access arrangements may vary depending on the plan and services purchased.
The applicable ownership and access arrangements will be explained as part of the chosen service where they differ from the standard arrangement.
Where a Client has supplied or independently owns a domain, hosting account, content, branding, or other assets, those assets remain the Client’s property.
Third-party software, plugins, themes, licences, hosting services, and other tools remain subject to the ownership and licence terms of their respective providers.
9. Cancellations & Changes to Plans
9.1 Monthly Plans
Monthly subscriptions may be cancelled in accordance with the terms of the chosen plan and applicable law.
Where you cancel a monthly subscription, future recurring payments will stop in accordance with the cancellation process and billing cycle. Any outstanding payments or charges for services already provided remain payable.
Nothing in these Terms removes or limits any statutory cancellation or consumer rights that may apply to you.
9.2 Yearly Plans
Yearly plans normally cover the agreed service period and are paid upfront.
Cancellation of a yearly plan will normally prevent renewal at the end of the current service period. Refunds for unused time are not normally provided, except where required by law or otherwise agreed by us.
Nothing in these Terms removes or limits any statutory rights that may apply.
9.3 Existing Customers Changing Plans
Existing customers may be able to switch between monthly and yearly plans without paying a new setup fee, subject to the applicable plan and any outstanding balance.
Where a customer moves to a different plan, the new plan’s pricing, inclusions, support level, and payment terms will apply from the agreed change date.
10. Custom Work & Additional Services
Where you request features, integrations, functionality, design work, or other services outside the scope of your chosen plan, we may provide a separate quotation.
Additional work will only be charged where the cost has been communicated and agreed before the work begins, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Examples may include:
- Booking or appointment systems
- Payment integrations
- API integrations
- Advanced automation
- Custom development
- Complex third-party integrations
- Non-standard website functionality
11. Fair Use
Where a plan includes unlimited support, unlimited pages, unlimited email addresses, or other unlimited services, those services are provided for the normal and reasonable use of the website and business covered by the plan.
Requests that are excessive, unrelated to the website, technically unreasonable, or substantially outside the intended scope of the plan may require additional charges or a separate agreement.
If we believe a request falls outside the reasonable scope of your plan, we will explain this before carrying out chargeable work.
12. Limitation of Liability
We aim to provide reliable and professional services, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access, completely error-free operation, or continuous availability of third-party services.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses caused by:
- Third-party service failures
- Hosting provider outages
- Domain registration or renewal failures caused by incorrect information or missed renewal
- Third-party platform suspensions or rejections
- Search engine algorithm changes
- Loss of rankings, traffic, leads, sales, or revenue
- Client-provided content, information, or instructions
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
13. Data Protection & Privacy
We process personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws.
Information about how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data is provided in our Privacy Policy.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our services, pricing, payment systems, legal requirements, or business practices.
The latest version published on our website will apply to new orders and services from the date it becomes effective.
Where a change materially affects an existing ongoing service or subscription, we will provide any notice required by law or by the applicable contract terms.
15. General Terms
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
These Terms, together with the applicable plan details, service descriptions, quotations, and any other agreed written terms, form the agreement between you and Web Designer Luton Ltd for the relevant service.
