Project work
In short
Sending an enquiry does not create a contract. Projects run under their own signed agreement.
Sending an enquiry through this website, by email or by phone does not create a contract between us. All design, development and care work is provided under a separate written proposal and our terms of business, which both parties sign before work begins. If anything in those documents differs from these terms, those documents apply to the project.

Links to other websites
In short
We are not responsible for websites we link to.
The website links to other websites, including those of our clients and the platforms we build on. We have no control over those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse everything on the site it points to.
