3. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

By using our website or engaging our services, you represent that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.

If you are acting on behalf of a business or another organization, you represent that you have the authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

You agree not to:

• Use our website or services for unlawful, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our website, servers, systems, or business accounts.
• Upload or transmit malicious software, harmful code, or other disruptive material.
• Interfere with the security, availability, or normal operation of our website.
• Copy, reproduce, distribute, or misuse our website content, branding, or intellectual property without permission.
• Provide false, misleading, or unauthorized information when requesting our services.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to our website or services if we reasonably believe these requirements have been violated.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, materials, instructions, and approvals reasonably necessary for the completion of their projects.

Depending on the services requested, client responsibilities may include:

• Providing website content, images, branding assets, product details, and other required materials.
• Ensuring that all supplied materials are legally owned, licensed, or authorized for use.
• Providing timely feedback, approvals, and project-related instructions.
• Maintaining access to relevant domains, hosting accounts, third-party platforms, and business systems where required.
• Reviewing completed work and identifying requested changes within the agreed review period.
• Ensuring that business information, advertising claims, and materials supplied for publication are accurate and lawful.

Delays in providing required information, access, materials, or approvals may affect project schedules and delivery dates. Web Design Ritual will not be responsible for delays directly caused by missing client requirements or delayed responses.

5. Quotes, Proposals, and Project Scope

Project quotations and proposals are based on the information and requirements available at the time they are prepared.

Each proposal may specify the services included, project deliverables, estimated completion schedule, pricing, payment requirements, and other applicable conditions.

Any work or functionality requested outside the originally agreed project scope may require an additional quotation, revised timeline, or separate payment.

Changes to the project scope must be discussed and approved by both parties before additional work begins.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, quotations are subject to the validity period communicated in the relevant proposal or quotation.

6. Payments, Invoices, and Refunds

Clients agree to pay all fees associated with the services they purchase according to the pricing and payment schedule provided in the applicable proposal, invoice, or service agreement.

Payment arrangements may include:

• Advance payments or deposits before project commencement.
• Milestone-based payments during project development.
• Final payments before website launch, delivery, or transfer, where applicable.
• Recurring payments for ongoing maintenance, subscriptions, or marketing services.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are payable by the due date stated on the invoice.

Additional work, third-party subscriptions, licensing fees, advertising budgets, hosting charges, domain registrations, and other external expenses may be billed separately.

Failure to make payments when due may result in the suspension of work, delayed delivery, restricted access to certain services, or termination of the applicable service agreement, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.

Refund eligibility depends on the nature of the service, work already completed, project expenses incurred, and the terms of the applicable agreement. Any approved refund will be handled according to applicable law and the written agreement between the parties.

7. Revisions and Project Approvals

Project revisions and adjustments will be handled according to the scope and revision terms specified in the applicable proposal or agreement.

Requests for changes that substantially alter the original design, functionality, content, or project requirements may be treated as additional work.

Clients are responsible for reviewing submitted work and communicating feedback within a reasonable period.

Once a deliverable has been approved by the client, subsequent changes may require additional charges and may affect the original delivery schedule.

8. Intellectual Property Rights

All website content, branding, graphics, designs, materials, code, and other intellectual property displayed on the Web Design Ritual website remain the property of Web Design Ritual or their respective owners unless otherwise stated.

Clients retain ownership of materials, content, logos, trademarks, and other assets they independently own and provide for their projects.

Ownership and usage rights for custom project deliverables will be determined by the applicable proposal or written agreement. Where full ownership transfer is agreed, it will generally take effect after all applicable project payments have been received.

Third-party software, plugins, themes, fonts, stock images, frameworks, and other licensed resources remain subject to their respective license terms. Such resources may not be transferable or owned by either party.

Web Design Ritual may request permission to display completed projects in its portfolio, promotional materials, or case studies. Client work will not be publicly identified or displayed as a portfolio example without appropriate authorization.

9. Third-Party Tools and Services

Our services may involve third-party platforms, applications, software, hosting providers, payment processors, advertising networks, analytics tools, and other external services.

Examples may include:

• Content management systems and e-commerce platforms.
• Payment gateways and financial service providers.
• Search engines and online advertising platforms.
• Social media platforms and marketing applications.
• Third-party plugins, themes, software, and integrations.

These services are operated independently by their respective providers and may have separate terms, fees, privacy policies, and technical requirements.

Web Design Ritual does not control third-party platforms and cannot guarantee their uninterrupted availability, continued functionality, pricing, policies, or performance.

Clients are responsible for maintaining their own third-party accounts, subscriptions, and applicable licensing arrangements unless otherwise agreed in writing.

10. Digital Marketing and Performance Disclaimer

Web Design Ritual uses professional strategies and industry practices when providing SEO, digital marketing, advertising, and related services.

However, digital marketing results depend on several factors, including market conditions, competition, advertising budgets, platform algorithms, website quality, customer behavior, and external circumstances beyond our control.

Accordingly:

• We do not guarantee specific search engine rankings or permanent search visibility.
• We do not guarantee a particular number of leads, visitors, sales, conversions, or customers.
• We cannot guarantee advertising approval, account availability, or uninterrupted access to third-party advertising platforms.
• We are not responsible for changes to search engine algorithms, advertising policies, platform rules, or third-party systems.
• Past campaign performance or projected results should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future outcomes.

Our responsibility is to provide the services and deliverables agreed upon in the applicable project or service agreement.

11. Project Timelines and Delivery

Project timelines are estimates based on the agreed scope, availability of required resources, and timely cooperation from the client.

We make reasonable efforts to complete projects within the communicated timeframe. However, delays may occur due to:

• Late submission of content, materials, or project information.
• Delayed client feedback or approvals.
• Changes to project scope or requirements.
• Third-party service interruptions or technical issues.
• Events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Where a significant delay occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to communicate the situation and provide an updated delivery estimate.

12. Cancellation and Termination

Either party may request termination of an ongoing service arrangement in accordance with the applicable written agreement.

Clients wishing to cancel a project or recurring service should submit their request through our available communication channels.

Upon cancellation or termination:

• Outstanding invoices and fees for work already performed may remain payable.
• Non-refundable third-party expenses and approved project costs may remain the client's responsibility.
• Access to ongoing services may be discontinued according to the applicable agreement.
• Transfer of completed project files or deliverables will be handled according to the payment and ownership terms of the agreement.

Web Design Ritual reserves the right to suspend or terminate services if a client materially breaches these Terms, fails to meet payment obligations, engages in unlawful activity, or misuses our services.

Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue before termination, unless immediate action is necessary.

13. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to take reasonable steps to protect confidential business, technical, financial, and project-related information shared during the course of a business relationship.

Confidential information should not be disclosed to unauthorized third parties except where disclosure is necessary to perform the agreed services, authorized by the relevant party, or required by applicable law.

This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available through no breach of confidentiality, independently developed, or lawfully obtained from another source without confidentiality restrictions.

14. Warranties and Service Disclaimer

Web Design Ritual will make reasonable efforts to provide services professionally and in accordance with the agreed project requirements.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law.

16. Indemnification

• Your infringement of another party's intellectual property or legal rights.
• Materials or content supplied by you that violate applicable laws or third-party rights.
• Your breach of any agreement or obligation applicable to your project.

This obligation will not apply to the extent that a claim results from our own unlawful conduct or other circumstances for which indemnification cannot legally be required.

17. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be held responsible for a failure or delay in performing its obligations where the failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include natural disasters, severe weather, acts of government, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, widespread service outages, and other unforeseen events.

The affected party will make reasonable efforts to notify the other party and resume performance when reasonably possible.

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services should first be addressed through good-faith discussions between the parties.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Florida, subject to applicable law.

19. Changes to These Terms

Web Design Ritual reserves the right to update, revise, or modify these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, services, technology, or applicable legal requirements.

Updated Terms will be published on this webpage with a revised effective date where appropriate.
