These Terms and Conditions are a legal agreement between DED Design (“we”, “us”, “the Designer”), operated by David Edmonds of Washington, West Sussex, and the person or business commissioning work from us (“you”, “the Client”). They apply to all quotes, invoices, and projects for graphic design, logo design, branding, website design, or related services.
1. Quotes & Acceptance
Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date issued. A project begins once you confirm acceptance in writing (email is sufficient) or make any payment toward the quoted amount — whichever happens first. Work outside the scope of the original quote will be treated as additional and quoted separately before we proceed.
2. Ownership & Copyright
We retain ownership and copyright of all designs, source files, and code until the final invoice for a project has been paid in full. Once paid in full, ownership of the agreed final deliverables (for example, the finished logo or website) transfers to you, for the purpose described in your brief.
We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio, website, and marketing materials, unless you ask us in writing not to.
Any third-party assets used in a project — fonts, stock photography, plugins, and so on — remain governed by their own licence terms, which are separate from this agreement.
3. Revisions
Each project includes 2 rounds of revisions as set out in your quote. Further revisions, or a change of creative direction after work has begun, will be quoted separately.
4. Your Responsibilities
You agree to provide the content, access, and feedback we need in good time — delays on your part may push back delivery. You confirm that any content, images, or material you supply is either owned by you or used with proper permission, and you agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising from material you provide.
5. Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are payable within 7 days of the invoice date. We may pause work on a project if an invoice becomes overdue. Late payments may incur interest in line with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
For larger projects, we may request a deposit before work begins, or staged payments — this will be set out in your quote.
6. Hosting, Domains & Third Parties
Where a project involves third-party services — domain registration, hosting, plugins, and similar — you’re responsible for any ongoing costs and for complying with that provider’s own terms. We’re not liable for outages, price changes, or policy changes made by third-party providers.
7. Liability
We provide our services with reasonable skill and care, but we can’t guarantee a website or design will be completely error-free, uninterrupted, or will achieve any particular business outcome (search ranking, sales, and so on).
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the relevant project. We are not liable for indirect losses such as loss of profit, business, or data.
8. Confidentiality
We’ll keep any confidential information you share with us private, and we expect the same in return regarding our own business processes, methods, and pricing.
9. Termination
Either party may end a project in writing. If you cancel after work has started, you agree to pay for the work completed up to that point. We reserve the right to end a project immediately, without refund, if these Terms are breached.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be handled by the courts of England and Wales.
By confirming a quote or making a payment, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
