Terms of Service

Acceptance

These terms are between WeMakeSites (company number 2025/527655/07) and you. By requesting, approving, or paying a quote you accept these terms.

Services

We design and build custom websites and web apps, integrations, content structure, performance tuning, analytics setup, and post-launch support or growth retainers.

Quotes, scope & changes

• Quotes are free and valid for 30 days from the date issued.
• Scope is defined in your proposal or quote. Assumptions and client responsibilities are listed there.
• Changes outside scope are priced and scheduled via written change orders.

Timelines & responsibilities

We provide an estimated schedule with milestones. Delays in feedback, content, or access extend timelines fairly. You agree to supply timely approvals, content, and account access needed to deliver the project.

Fees & payment

• Projects are billed by milestone with clear deliverables. Retainers bill monthly.
• Invoices are due on the date shown on the invoice. Late or unpaid invoices may pause work.
• Taxes and government charges (if applicable) are additional.

Expenses

Pre-approved third-party costs (for example domains, hosting, assets, or fonts) are billed at cost or paid directly by you.

Intellectual property & ownership

• You own the final project code delivered, your content, and brand assets once invoices are settled.
• We retain ownership of our pre-existing tools and know-how and license them to you within the deliverables.
• Third-party components remain under their original licences.

Third-party services

You may use third-party providers for hosting, email, analytics, payments, or similar. You are the account owner and their terms apply.

Warranties & disclaimers

We will provide services with reasonable care and skill. We do not guarantee specific rankings, revenue, or outcomes. Except where stated, services are provided “as is”.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid to us for the services giving rise to the claim in the six months before the event.

Indemnity

You indemnify us against claims arising from your content, unlawful instructions, or breach of these terms.

Confidentiality

Both parties must keep non-public information confidential, except where disclosure is required by law.

Data protection

Each party will comply with POPIA and similar laws. Our processing of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. A data processing addendum is available if required.

Support & care plans

Post-launch support may include fixes, updates, backups, and monitoring. The scope and response window are defined in your quote or plan.

Suspension & termination

• Either party may terminate for convenience with written notice. We will invoice completed milestones and hand over work-in-progress on payment.
• Either party may terminate for cause if the other fails to cure a material breach within 14 days of written notice.

Portfolio reference

You allow us to reference the project in our portfolio. A small footer credit link is optional and can be removed on request.

Governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Disputes are handled by good-faith negotiation, then mediation, and, if needed, the courts of Gauteng with non-exclusive jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect new features or legal requirements. When we do, we update the effective date. Projects already agreed continue under their signed version unless both sides agree to adopt updates.

Notices

Formal notices should be sent by email to howmanymarks1@gmail.com. Our place of business is Pretoria, South Africa.

Effective date

Effective: 2025-08-23
