Terms of Use

I offer three named tiers — Start, Complete, and Premium — each described in full on the Services page. The exact scope for your project is set out in a signed agreement before any work begins. Anything outside that scope isn't included by default; if you want more, I'll quote it separately before starting it.

Projects are billed in two parts: 30% of the project fee to start work, and the remaining 70% before the site is handed over and published. Invoices are due within 5 days of issue. If a balance goes unpaid past that term, I hold the handover — files, credentials, and the live site — until it's settled.

If a payment is disputed or charged back, please contact me first so we can sort it out directly, before involving your bank or card provider. Your domain name, if I register it on your behalf, is billed separately and registered in your name, not mine — it's yours from day one.

A project moves at the pace you provide materials. Please send text, images, logos, and any other content I need within 5 business days of my request. You confirm you hold the rights to everything you send me, and that I can use it to build your site.

Feedback on drafts and revisions is also due within 5 business days. If materials or feedback arrive later than that, the project timeline moves back accordingly — I can't hold a delivery date against a gap I'm waiting on you to close.

Each tier includes a set number of revision rounds: 1 round for Start, 2 for Complete, 3 for Premium. A round is your consolidated feedback on a draft, addressed in one pass. Extra rounds beyond your tier's allowance are quoted separately before I start them.

If a request changes the structure or scope of the project — new pages, new sections, a different approach — I write it up as a change request with its own timeline and cost before proceeding.

Full ownership of your finished site — the design, code, and content created for you — transfers to you once the final payment clears. Until then, it remains mine. I retain ownership of any pre-existing tools, components, or code frameworks I use to build sites in general, and grant you a perpetual license to use them as part of your site.

Third-party assets — fonts, stock imagery, plugins, and similar — keep whatever license they were supplied under; I'll flag anything with unusual terms. Any materials you supply — your logo, photos, copy, brand assets — remain yours throughout, as they always were.

Unless you tell me otherwise, I may display your finished site in my portfolio and credit it in my website's footer, as a record of the work and to help future clients see what's possible. If you'd prefer your project stay private, let me know in writing at any point — before, during, or after the project — and I'll remove it and honor that going forward.

The care plan is an optional, ongoing service covering hosting, domain administration, and monthly content updates for your site. No price is listed here — ask about the care plan for current terms. Either of us can cancel with 30 days' written notice. If the terms of the plan change, including price, I'll give 30 days' notice before the change takes effect.

Your site may depend on services I don't operate — domain registrars, hosting providers, email platforms, booking or payment tools, and similar. I choose these carefully, but I don't control their uptime, pricing, or policies, and I'm not liable for outages, changes, or failures on their end. If a third-party service causes a problem, I'll help you resolve it, but the responsibility sits with that provider.

I bring professional skill and care to every project and stand behind the quality of the work. If something I built breaks or misbehaves within 30 days of launch, through no fault of a third-party change, I'll fix it at no extra cost.

What I don't promise: search ranking positions, traffic numbers, or revenue — those depend on far more than a website, and anyone who guarantees them isn't being straight with you.

If something goes wrong and I'm found liable, the total amount I owe you is capped at the fees you've actually paid me for the project. I'm not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages — lost profits, lost data, or similar knock-on effects — arising from the site or its use.

Nothing here limits any right you hold as a consumer under Romanian or EU law; where those rights are stronger than this clause, they take precedence.

You're responsible for the materials you provide me — text, images, logos, and similar — and for confirming you have the right to use them. If a claim arises because something you supplied infringed someone else's rights, that responsibility is yours, not mine.

You're also responsible for your own legal compliance — things like privacy notices, terms of sale, or industry-specific rules that apply to your business, not to the act of building a website.

Either of us can end a project with written notice. If you terminate, the deposit already paid is retained, along with a pro-rata amount for any work completed beyond it. If I fail to deliver the work as agreed, you're entitled to a full refund of your deposit.

Clauses that by their nature should outlive termination — intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and payment for work already done — continue to apply after the project ends.

Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances reasonably beyond our control — natural disasters, power or internet outages, war, government action, and similar events. The affected obligation is paused, not cancelled, and we agree on a revised timeline once things return to normal.

This agreement is governed by Romanian law. If a disagreement comes up, I'd rather sort it out directly than in court: both sides agree to a good-faith, informal resolution attempt for 15 business days before pursuing anything further. If that doesn't resolve it, the competent courts are those of [CONFIRM CITY].

For a signed, one-off project, the terms in place when you signed are the ones that apply for the life of that project — I won't retroactively change your deal. For ongoing services like the care plan, I may update these terms with 30 days' written notice before they take effect.

Questions about these terms? Reach me at [CONFIRM EMAIL].
