Terms

These terms cover your use of this website. They are not the agreement for the work itself — if you hire Saltcliff Studio, we sign a short written service agreement, and that document governs the engagement. Where the two disagree, the service agreement wins.

Using this site

You are welcome to read this site, share it, and link to it. Please do not attempt to disrupt it, submit the contact form automatically or in bulk, or use it to send anything unlawful, threatening, or deceptive. We may block access if you do.

Nothing here is a quotation

This site does not publish prices. What the work costs depends on what the work is, so it is quoted per project and becomes binding only when it appears in a signed service agreement between us. Nothing on this website — not the copy, not an email reply, not a conversation — is an offer or a fixed quotation until that agreement exists.

Cancelling

Either of us may end an ongoing arrangement on thirty days’ written notice. Work already agreed and in progress is finished and paid for; nothing after the notice period continues. There is no cancellation penalty, and you are never required to explain the decision.

What you own

You own your domain name, your content, your photographs, your logo, and your business data — before, during, and after we work together. If you leave, we hand over your content and transfer or release your domain promptly and without charge. Nothing about your business is held hostage to an ongoing arrangement.

We keep ownership of the underlying templates, components, code, and tooling we reuse across projects, and you get an unrestricted licence to keep using your site as built. We may show your finished site as an example of our work unless you ask us not to, which you are free to do at any time.

What we commit to, and what we don’t

We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at level AA, and we keep your site fast, correctly marked up, and current, with a real person answering when you need something changed.

We will not promise you search rankings, traffic, phone calls, or revenue. Nobody who makes that promise can honour it, and you should treat anyone who does with suspicion.

Liability

This website is provided as it is. We keep it accurate and available, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Our total liability arising out of this site or out of any work we do for you is limited to the fees you have paid in the preceding twelve months, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Third-party links

This site links to Google PageSpeed Insights and to havella.app. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts serving Orange County, California.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Material changes to an active engagement are handled through the service agreement, not by editing this page.
