Terms of service
Last updated: [date]
Before you publish: this is a working template prepared for a Spain-based web design business. Replace every highlighted field with your real details and have it reviewed by a lawyer — MHCreators isn't one, and requirements vary with how you actually operate.
These terms govern the design and development services provided by [Full legal name] ("MHCreators", "we") to the client ("you"). A signed proposal or accepted quote incorporates these terms.
1. Scope and quotes
Each project is defined in a written proposal setting out deliverables, timeline and a fixed price. Work outside that scope is quoted separately and only begins with your written approval. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
2. Payment
Unless the proposal says otherwise, [50]% is invoiced on acceptance and the balance on completion, before the site goes live. Invoices are payable within [14] days. Prices exclude VAT (IVA) where applicable. Late payment may incur statutory interest under Spanish Law 3/2004 on late payment in commercial transactions.
3. Your responsibilities
You provide content, images, brand assets and feedback within the agreed schedule, and confirm you hold the rights to everything you supply. Delays in materials or approvals move the timeline accordingly.
4. Revisions and timelines
Each design stage includes [two] rounds of revisions. Timelines in a proposal are good-faith estimates that assume timely feedback; we tell you promptly if anything changes.
5. Ownership and intellectual property
On receipt of final payment, all rights in the final design and custom code produced for you transfer to you. Until then, they remain ours. This transfer does not cover third-party components — fonts, plugins, stock images or frameworks — which stay under their own licences, nor our pre-existing tools and libraries, for which you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use as part of your site.
6. Portfolio
We may display completed work in our portfolio and marketing unless you ask us in writing not to. Confidential business information is never published.
7. Launch, warranty and support
For 30 days after launch we correct, free of charge, any defect that means a delivered feature does not work as agreed. This does not cover new features, third-party service changes, or edits made by others. Ongoing maintenance is available under a separate agreement.
8. Liability
We provide our services with professional care but do not warrant specific commercial outcomes such as rankings, traffic or revenue. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from a project is limited to the fees you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or data. Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Cancellation
Either party may end a project in writing. You pay for work completed up to that date; deposits covering completed work are non-refundable.
10. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including infrastructure or third-party service failures.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by Spanish law. Disputes are submitted to the courts of [Málaga], unless mandatory consumer rules give you the right to another forum.
