Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of my services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.
The following terms and conditions apply to all services provided by https://freelancewebdesigns.uk/ to the Client.
Definitions
- The Client: The individual requesting the services of https://freelancewebdesigns.uk
- The Project: Web design, Hosting, Emails, and other web-related services being provided to the Client.

Acceptance
No Client needs to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a client accepts a quote by paying the deposit invoice, then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full.
Agreement
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will carry out work only where an agreement is provided either by email, telephone, or text message. An ‘order’ is deemed to be a written or verbal contract between Freelancewebdesigns.uk and the client, this includes telephone, email, and text agreements.
Please ensure that you read the project quote and terms & conditions properly and that all details of the work are included, understood, and mutually agreed on.
Timeframes
Unless otherwise agreed upon with the client, the timescale for completion of work may vary and can take from 2 weeks to 2 months after approval of design and plan, depending on the scale of the work. Timeframes for the project will be discussed with the client before the project commences. Freelancewebdesigns.uk will do its best to complete the project as soon as reasonably possible. Once a website has been designed and completed the final balance of payment is then due by the payment terms.
Content
During the project, Freelancewebdesigns.uk will require the Client to provide website content, text, images, media links, and contact details. Being a freelancer, to remain efficient I must ensure that work is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions, I may have to reject offers for other work and inquiries to ensure that the Client’s work is completed at the time arranged.
Therefore, I ask that the Client provide all the required information within 8 weeks of the deposit being paid. On an occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because I have not been given the required information, and will be delayed as a result, I then reserve the right to close the project until the balance is paid in full.
Please Note: Text content must be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email, or text document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website.
All images can be sent via email or larger, large quantities can be sent via wetransfer.com
Web Design
Whilst every endeavour will be made to ensure that the website and any scripts or programs are free of errors, Freelancewebdesigns.uk cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred due to malfunction, the website, or any part of it.
The website, graphics, and any programming code will be the property of Freelancewebdesigns.uk until any outstanding balances are paid in full.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk cannot take responsibility for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the client.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation, or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will not be liable or become involved in any disputes between the site owner and their clients and cannot be held responsible for any wrongdoing on the part of a site owner.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will not be liable for any costs incurred, compensation, or loss of earnings due to the work carried out on behalf of the client or any of the client’s appointed agents.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will not be liable for any costs incurred, compensation, or loss of earnings due to the unavailability of the site, its servers, or any material provided by its agents.
Once a website has been designed and completed the final balance of payment is then due by the payment terms. There are no exceptions to this, i.e., if the client decides they no longer want the site, as they have commissioned the work and paid a deposit, they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done. Non-payment will result in legal action being taken.
Database, Application, and E-Commerce Development
Freelancewebdesigns.uk cannot take responsibility for any losses incurred using any software created for the client by a third party. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure products are problem-free and accurate, the ultimate responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that all software is functioning correctly before use.
Where applications or sites are developed on servers not recommended by Freelancewebdesigns.uk, the client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support, or cooperation about the server required for the application to be correctly developed.
The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by Freelancewebdesigns.uk before being made generally available for use. Where “bugs”, errors, or other issues are found after the site is live, Freelancewebdesigns.uk will endeavour (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief.
Charges
Charges for services to be provided by Freelancewebdesigns.uk are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. Freelancewebdesigns.uk reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after the expiry of the 30 days.
Payment of Accounts
An advance payment of a minimum of 50% of the project quotation total is required when the initial quote is agreed upon and before the project commences.
The remaining 50% percent of the project quotation total is required upon completion of the work, before upload to the server or launch of the website. The project is deemed completed once the website is live.
Any additions or amendments outside of the project, that are required by the client, will not extend the deadline for the payment of the remaining balance.
Any delays to the estimated project timeframe which are caused by the client, will not extend the deadline of the payment of the remaining balance. Any delays to project completion which are caused by the client, will not extend the deadline of the payment of the remaining balance.
Payment for services is due by bank transfer. Bank details will be made available on invoices.
Invoices will be provided by Freelancewebdesigns.uk upon completion but before publishing the live project. Invoices are normally sent via email and are due upon receipt.
It is the Freelancewebdesigns.uk policy that any outstanding accounts for work carried out by Freelancewebdesigns.uk are required to be paid in full, no later than 7 days from the date of the invoice unless by prior arrangement with Freelancewebdesigns.uk
We will contact clients via email and text to remind them of such payments if they are not received when due.
If accounts are not settled or Freelancewebdesigns.uk has not been contacted regarding the delay, access to the related website will be denied, work carried out removed and web pages removed, we will then pass such cases to the court to pursue payment, non-payment can result in court judgments being added to the client’s credit rating.
Client Review
Freelancewebdesigns.uk will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall project development is completed, but before uploading to a server or release of the materials to the Client. The client must inform Freelancewebdesigns.uk of any amendments required within 7 days. After the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved.
Web Browsers
Freelancewebdesigns.uk makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by most visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g., Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc.). The client agrees that Freelancewebdesigns.uk cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.
Freelancewebdesigns.uk cannot accept responsibility for web pages that do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, Freelancewebdesigns.uk reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software.
Passing of Rights
Once all amounts due are paid and cleared you are assigned the rights of ownership and rights to use, as applicable, the products and services, including the text, graphics, animation, audio components, and digital components contained within the finished website, by these terms and conditions and the Project.
Design Credit
A link to Freelancewebdesigns.uk will appear in small type at the bottom of the Client’s website. If a client requests that the credit be removed, this will be done at no cost. The Client also agrees that the website developed for the Client may be presented in Freelancewebdesigns.uk web portfolio.
Access Requirements
If the Client’s website is to be installed on a third-party server, Freelancewebdesigns.uk must be granted temporary read/write access to the Client’s storage directories which must be accessible via FTP. Depending on the specific nature of the project, other resources might also need to be configured on the server.
Domain Names, Website Hosting, SSL Certificate & Maintenance Services
