Legal information.

Every project starts with a written proposal that sets out the scope, the price, the schedule and the milestones. Work begins once you accept the proposal in writing. The proposal and these terms together form our agreement; where they differ, the proposal applies.

The price in the proposal is fixed for the agreed scope. If you want to change or add to the scope, we tell you what it costs first and only start that work after you approve it.

We invoice per milestone, after you have approved that milestone’s work. Invoices are due within 14 days of receipt.

Hosting, domain names, paid plugins, payment providers, AI usage and other third-party services are bought in your name and paid by you directly, after we have agreed them together. They are not part of our fees.

You can stop a project at any time by telling us in writing. Milestones that are already finished are paid in full. Work on the current milestone is invoiced in proportion to how much of it is done. Anything you have paid for work we have not done is refunded.

Once everything has been paid, you own the website or system we built for you, your content, and the custom code we wrote for it. We hand over the source code, the documentation and administrator access. Open-source and other third-party components remain under their own licences.

You also provide what only you can supply: your text, images and product information, your own legal texts such as your privacy notice, the access we need, and feedback when a milestone is ready for review.

If you find a defect within 30 days of launch, meaning something that does not work as the proposal describes, we fix it free of charge.

After that you can choose an optional monthly maintenance plan with a set number of support hours each month. Its contents, hours and price are set out in the proposal. Other work is quoted separately.

If you are unhappy with our work or service, email halvern.studios@outlook.com and describe what went wrong. We confirm that we have received it and work with you to put it right.
