Terms & Conditions

The terms for using this website and working with Lochlan Smith Web Design on web design and development projects.

These Terms & Conditions were last updated in 2026. By using this website or engaging services, you agree to these terms.

1. About This Website

This website provides information about freelance web design and development services offered by Lochlan Smith Web Design. The content is for general information only and may change without notice.

2. No Guaranteed Outcomes

Every effort is made to build fast, modern, and effective websites. However, specific outcomes such as search engine rankings, traffic levels, or sales cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on many factors outside of web design, including competition, marketing, and industry conditions.

3. Project Engagement

Project details, pricing, and timelines are agreed upon in writing before work begins, usually via email or a formal proposal. By approving a quote or proposal, you confirm that you have the authority to engage services on behalf of your business.

Client responsibilities: You are responsible for providing accurate information, timely feedback, and any required content such as text, images, or branding assets, unless otherwise agreed.

Revisions: Reasonable rounds of revisions are typically included as outlined in your proposal. Additional changes outside the agreed scope may be billed separately.

4. Content and Intellectual Property

Your content: You are responsible for ensuring that any content you provide (such as text, images, logos, or media) is owned by you or properly licensed, and does not infringe on the rights of others.

Project work: Upon full payment, you are granted the right to use the final website design and build for your business. Unless otherwise agreed, Lochlan Smith Web Design may display the project in a portfolio or case study, including screenshots and a link to your website.

5. Payments and Invoices

Payment terms, deposit amounts, and due dates are outlined in your quote or proposal. Work may be paused if invoices are significantly overdue. Ownership of the final website and associated deliverables may remain with Lochlan Smith Web Design until payment is received in full.

6. Third-Party Services

Some projects may involve third-party services such as hosting providers, domain registrars, email services, plugins, or integrations. These services are subject to their own terms and conditions, and I am not responsible for changes, outages, or issues arising from those third parties.

7. Website Maintenance and Support

Ongoing support, updates, and maintenance may be offered as part of a separate agreement or on an as-needed basis. Unless explicitly included, long-term maintenance is not automatically provided after launch.

8. Limitation of Liability

Reasonable care is taken in all work, but Lochlan Smith Web Design is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from the use of this website or any services provided. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profits, business interruption, or data loss.

9. Changes to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the website or services after changes are published will be taken as acceptance of the updated terms.
