Trading name: Inkless Ideas
Company number: 07782545
Inkless Ideas provides web design, ecommerce, Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, development, consultancy, migration, optimisation, and related digital services.
References to “you”, “your” or “the client” mean the person, company, organisation, or representative using our website or services.
We provide services including, but not limited to:
The exact scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, and payment terms for each project will be set out in a written proposal, quote, invoice, statement of work, or email agreement.
Any quote or proposal is based on the information provided by the client at the time.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, quotes do not include:
Any additional work requested outside the agreed scope may be quoted separately or charged at our hourly rate.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our standard payment terms are:
For smaller projects, support work, urgent work, consultancy, retainers, or hourly work, we may require payment upfront or on completion.
Invoices must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice.
We reserve the right to pause work, delay launch, withhold delivery, suspend access, or retain project files where invoices remain unpaid.
The client agrees to:
We are not responsible for delays caused by missing content, delayed feedback, third-party issues, platform restrictions, or lack of access.
Where we are given access to websites, stores, servers, hosting, domains, admin systems, apps, repositories, analytics platforms, payment systems, or related accounts, the client confirms that they are authorised to provide such access.
The client must not provide access to unauthorised third parties where this could compromise the security, confidentiality, integrity, or functionality of our work.
The client is responsible for managing their own internal access permissions and for removing access from former employees, contractors, agencies, developers, or other third parties where appropriate.
Unless we give prior written permission, the client and any third party acting on the client’s behalf must not access, copy, download, export, duplicate, back up, mirror, decompile, reverse engineer, audit, inspect, scan, test, or review any development files, custom code, staging environments, repositories, credentials, documentation, implementation methods, logs, or technical materials created or supplied by us.
This includes, but is not limited to:
This clause does not prevent the client from using the completed website in the ordinary course of their own business once all outstanding invoices have been paid.
This clause also does not prevent access where disclosure is required by law, court order, regulator, insurer, or other binding legal process, provided that the client gives us as much prior written notice as legally possible.
Any unauthorised access, copying, backup, audit, review, scan, testing, disclosure, or third-party inspection may be treated as a material breach of these Terms.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
No ownership, licence, usage rights, or intellectual property rights are transferred until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.
The client must not resell, redistribute, licence, copy, transfer, or reuse our work for another business, website, product, theme, template, or third party without our written permission.
Many projects rely on third-party platforms and services such as Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Klaviyo, payment providers, analytics tools, apps, plugins, hosting providers, APIs, paid themes, and integrations.
We are not responsible for:
The client is responsible for reviewing and accepting any third-party terms, subscriptions, fees, permissions, and data processing arrangements.
We aim to follow good practice, but we do not guarantee specific results, rankings, traffic, sales, revenue, conversion rates, page speed scores, customer behaviour, advertising results, or commercial outcomes.
Search engine rankings, platform performance, conversion rates, checkout performance, ad performance, and analytics data can be affected by many factors outside our control.
The number of included revisions will be set out in the relevant proposal, quote, or agreed project scope.
Once work is approved, launched, handed over, or used by the client, any further changes may be chargeable unless they relate to a confirmed bug within an agreed warranty period.
Approval may be given by email, written message, payment of a completion invoice, launch instruction, sign-off, or continued use of the completed work.
We will make reasonable efforts to test work before launch.
However, the client is responsible for reviewing and approving the website, checkout, content, pricing, forms, apps, integrations, products, collections, navigation, shipping, taxes, legal pages, tracking, emails, and other business-critical functionality before launch.
We are not responsible for errors, omissions, incorrect settings, or business losses where the client has approved launch or failed to properly review relevant areas.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we may provide a limited post-launch bug-fix period for issues directly caused by our work.
This does not include:
Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, backups, security checks, support, updates, improvements, and optimisation are not included unless agreed in writing.
If the client chooses not to have an ongoing maintenance agreement, they are responsible for maintaining the website, apps, plugins, themes, licences, subscriptions, software, security, backups, and platform settings.
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, financial, commercial, login, customer, supplier, pricing, strategy, or project information disclosed during the course of the work.
Confidential information must not be shared with third parties without written permission unless required by law.
Unless the client requests otherwise in writing, we may refer to completed work in our portfolio, website, case studies, social media, proposals, sales materials, and marketing.
We will not disclose confidential commercial information without permission.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for:
Our total liability in relation to any project shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific services giving rise to the claim, unless otherwise required by law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
Either party may terminate a project by written notice.
If a project is terminated, the client must pay for all work completed up to the termination date, including committed time, expenses, third-party costs, and any unpaid invoices.
Deposits, upfront payments, and milestone payments are generally non-refundable once work has started.
We are not liable for delays or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, including illness, power outages, internet outages, platform outages, cyber incidents, supplier failures, strikes, extreme weather, legal restrictions, or other unavoidable events.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or our services.
