These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the “Client”) and Northern Light Media (Yorkshire ) Limited (the “Developer”) regarding the provision of website development services. By signing this agreement or using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.

  1. Project Timeline

The Developer will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the project by the deadlines set in the proposal or as agreed upon by both parties. However, delays due to unforeseen technical issues, Client delays in providing materials or feedback, or changes in project scope may impact the timeline.

 

  1. Payment Terms
  • Deposit: A percentage deposit is required before work begins. 
  • Milestone Payments: Payments will be made in stages and the exact milestones and payment schedule will be outlined in the project proposal. 
  • Late Payments: Payments not made within the milestones may delay the project launch. 

 

  1. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to: 

  • Provide all necessary content, such as text, images, and media, within the agreed timeframe or discuss possible support with The Developer if needed. 
  • Review and approve project milestones within the agreed timescale. 
  • Make any payments on time as agreed upon in the payment schedule. 
  • Adhere to the expectations section outlined in the proposal. 

 

  1. Revisions

The Client is entitled to 2 rounds of revisions prior to launch. Any additional revisions beyond this will be charged at our hourly rate. 

 

  1. Ownership and Intellectual Property
  • Website Ownership: Upon final payment, the Client will own the website and all its content, excluding third-party components, libraries, or plugins that may be subject to separate licensing agreements. 
  • Code: Custom code developed for the website will become the property of the Client upon final payment, but the Developer retains the right to use the code for future projects. 
  • Trademarks and Logos: The Client warrants that they own the rights to any logos, trademarks, or materials provided for the website. The Developer will not be liable for any intellectual property disputes that arise. 

 

  1. Third-Party Services

If the project requires third-party services (e.g., hosting, domain registration, plugins), the Client is responsible for all costs and agreements with third-party providers unless agreed with The Developer. 

 

  1. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep all confidential information obtained during the project private and not to disclose it to any third parties without written consent. This includes business practices, financial information, or technical data. 

 

  1. Warranty and Liability

  • Limitation of Liability: The Developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to data loss, business interruption, or loss of profits, arising from the use or inability to use the website. 

 

  1. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement if the other party breaches a material term of this agreement. Upon termination, the Client will be required to pay any outstanding amounts as outlined in the proposal. 

 

  1. Force Majeure
