Terms of Service

These terms of service (“Terms”) apply to the use of bexleywebdesign.uk and to the web design, development, and website management services provided by Bexley Web Design (“we”, “us”, “our”). By engaging our services or using this website, you agree to these Terms.

Last updated: 26 July 2026

1. About us

Bexley Web Design provides website design, development, and ongoing WordPress management services to small businesses and organisations. You can contact us at hello@bexleywebdesign.uk or through our contact page.

2. Quotes and proposals

All quotes and proposals are valid for 30 days from the date issued. A project begins when you accept a quote in writing (email is fine) and pay any agreed deposit. The accepted quote describes the scope of work; anything not listed in it is outside the project’s scope.

3. Payment

  • Design and development projects — a deposit of 50% is payable before work begins, with the balance due on completion, before the website goes live. For larger projects we may agree staged payments in the quote.
  • Website management plans — billed monthly in advance.
  • Invoices — payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed.

If a business customer’s invoice is overdue, we may charge interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We may pause work, or suspend services, while payment is overdue.

4. Your responsibilities

To deliver your project on time, we need your cooperation. You agree to:

  • Provide the content, images, and information needed for the project within a reasonable time of being asked
  • Respond to requests for feedback or approval within a reasonable time
  • Ensure any materials you supply (text, images, logos) are accurate and that you have the right to use them — you are responsible for any claim arising from content you provide

If a project stalls for more than 60 days because we are waiting on you, we may invoice for the work completed to date and treat the project as paused; restarting may be subject to availability.

5. Revisions and changes of scope

Projects include a reasonable number of revision rounds as described in the quote. Requests that go beyond the agreed scope — new pages, new features, redesigns of approved work — will be quoted separately before any additional work begins. We’ll always tell you before anything becomes chargeable.

6. Timelines

Any timescales we give are good-faith estimates, not guarantees. Delivery depends on timely receipt of your content and feedback, and on third parties (such as hosting providers) outside our control.

7. Intellectual property

  • On receipt of full payment, you own the final website design and the content we created for you.
  • We retain ownership of any pre-existing tools, code libraries, and know-how used to build the site, which you are licensed to use as part of your website.
  • Third-party components (such as WordPress itself, plugins, themes, and fonts) remain subject to their own licences.
  • Unless you ask us not to in writing, we may feature completed work in our portfolio and marketing.

8. Third-party services

Websites depend on services we do not control — hosting, domain registration, plugins, email delivery, payment processors, and similar. Those services have their own terms and fees, which are your responsibility unless the quote says otherwise. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, price changes, or outages of third-party providers, though we will always do our best to help resolve issues with them.

9. Website management plans

  • Management plans cover the services described in your plan (such as updates, backups, and support time). Anything beyond the plan is quoted separately.
  • Either party may cancel a management plan with 30 days’ written notice.
  • If your plan includes backups, we will take reasonable care to keep them, but you remain responsible for keeping copies of your own content and data.

10. Warranties and liability

We provide our services with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that:

  • We do not guarantee that a website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will achieve any particular level of traffic, search ranking, or sales.
  • Our total liability to you in connection with any project or service is limited to the fees you have paid us for that project or service in the 12 months before the claim arose.
  • We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as loss of profit, revenue, or data.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded under UK law.

11. If you are a consumer

If you engage us as a consumer rather than a business, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Where the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you a 14-day cancellation period, and you ask us to start work within that period, you agree that you may be charged for the work done before you cancel.

12. Use of this website

The content of this website is provided for general information about our services. While we keep it up to date, we make no warranty that it is complete or error-free, and it does not constitute professional advice. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.

13. Privacy

How we handle personal data — both for website visitors and for clients — is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

14. Termination

Either party may end a project by written notice if the other seriously breaches these Terms and does not put it right within 14 days of being asked. If a project ends early, you will be invoiced for work completed up to that point, and any deposit is non-refundable to the extent it covers work already done.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force when you accept a quote is the version that applies to that project. The “last updated” date above shows when these Terms were last revised.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute — although if you are a consumer, you may also rely on any mandatory protections of the law where you live.
