Website Project Terms
These terms explain how you may use this website and how JW Digital Services Ltd, which runs Contractor Websites HQ, prices and delivers website work. References to "we" or "us" are to that company.
Every project is governed by the written proposal you accept together with these terms, and the proposal takes priority where they differ. A sample design or a starting price shown on this site does not create an order.
Using this website
Pages, guides and tools on this site give general information for US businesses. They are not legal, tax or other professional advice, and calculator results are planning estimates. Where we mention third-party prices or features, we show when we checked them, so confirm current details with the provider.
Please do not use the forms for bulk marketing, automated or unlawful messages. Our spam protection may reject requests like these.
Written scope and fixed project price
The proposal identifies pages, content, design work, integrations, revisions and the material you need to supply. It also states the price, the currency, how long the price is valid, any applicable taxes and any third-party costs.
If you ask for work beyond that scope, we explain the extra cost in writing and wait for your agreement before starting it. Hosting, ongoing care and SEO are distinct services unless expressly included in your proposal.
Review, approval and payment
We build the agreed work and share it with you for review. The proposal sets the number of revision rounds and the time allowed for feedback. You pay the fixed price once you approve the build, and we put the website live when payment clears.
Before approving, check business names, services, locations, license details, prices, contact details and any statements about your work. Approval confirms that the content is accurate and yours to publish.
What you provide
Agreed dates depend on getting the business details, photos, logos, license numbers and sign-offs we request on time. If material arrives late, the schedule moves with it while the fixed price stays the same.
You must be entitled to use supplied photos, logos, text, reviews and project details. We do not create licensing credentials, customer reviews or business results that you cannot substantiate.
Website ownership
Once the agreed price is paid, the finished website, its design, text and images belong to you. The proposal says who registers and holds the domain name.
Our general code, components and templates stay ours to use on other work, and we may feature your site in our portfolio unless you tell us not to. Third-party platforms, fonts, images and software remain subject to their own licenses, which the proposal identifies.
Hosting, care and search work
Hosting, care and SEO each have their own scope and price in your proposal. Unless the proposal says otherwise, each is paid monthly ahead of the month and can be stopped at the end of any month you have paid for. Stopping a service leaves your website and content with you, and we help with any move to another provider.
We work to keep sites available but cannot promise they will never go offline. Rankings are decided by search engines, so we promise no position, traffic, lead volume or revenue, and we avoid methods that break search-engine guidelines.
Liability
We carry out the work in your proposal with reasonable care and skill. Except where the law prevents it, we are not responsible for indirect losses such as lost profit, lost business or lost data, or for problems caused by other companies such as hosts, registrars, directories and search engines.
Our combined liability for any project will not exceed the fees you paid us for that project. These limits do not apply to any liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
Ending a project
Either side may end a project by written notice. If you stop before approving the build, you owe nothing unless your proposal provides a fee for completed work. If we stop for a reason that is not your fault, we return any money paid for work we have not done.
Law and disputes
The law of England and Wales governs these terms and any contract with us, and only the courts of England and Wales can decide disputes. Rights that your state's law makes mandatory are not affected.
