Terms of Service

1. Service provider details

• Trading name: Amethyst Nexalune
• Legal form: Sole Trader (registered under UK law)
• Owner and operator of the business: [FULL NAME], acting as a private individual, sole trader
• Registered address: [UK ADDRESS]
• Tax ID / UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference): [UTR NUMBER]
• Email: [EMAIL ADDRESS]
• Website: amethyst-nexalune.co.uk
• Bank account / payment provider: [Revolut/Wise details, if needed]

(Hereinafter: the "Provider")

Note: as a sole trader, the Provider and the private individual owner are not legally separate – the owner is personally and unlimitedly liable for contracts and debts. This does not require a separate company registration number or Companies House registration, only registration with HMRC (self-employment).

2. Scope of services

The Provider offers the following services on request:

• website design and development,
• web application development,
• development of custom systems, forms, calculators, admin interfaces,
• related services: domain and hosting setup, maintenance, technical support (by separate agreement).

The exact scope, extent and price of the service is in every case set out in an individual quote, or in the agreement between the parties (order confirmation).

3. Formation of contract

• The Client indicates their request by email, form, or in a personal consultation.
• The Provider sends a written quote that includes the project description, the agreed deadline, and the fee.
• The contract is formed when the Client accepts the quote in writing (email, signed document).
• Work begins only once the deposit specified in Section 4 has been paid.

4. Payment terms

Fees are due, by default, in two instalments:

• 20% deposit – when the contract is formed (upon order confirmation), before work begins.
• 80% final invoice – on completion / delivery, by the agreed deadline.

The parties may also agree on a payment schedule different from these Terms, which will be recorded in the individual contract.

Further provisions:

• If the deposit is not paid, the Provider will not begin work, and the agreed deadline shifts accordingly.
• Until the final instalment is settled, the Provider is entitled to withhold final delivery of the completed materials (source code, access credentials, domain transfer).
• Payment is made by bank transfer to the account provided, within [X] days of the due date.
• In the event of late payment, the Provider is entitled to suspend further work and, to the extent permitted by law, charge late-payment interest.
• Prices are stated in [net/gross], [currency: GBP/HUF], unless otherwise agreed.

5. Deadlines

• The agreed delivery deadline is set out in the individual quote/contract.
• The deadline depends on the Client fulfilling their cooperation obligations (e.g. providing necessary content, copy, images, access credentials on time). Delays here extend the deadline proportionally.
• A mid-project change request that goes beyond the agreed scope ("scope change") may require agreeing a new deadline and fee.

6. Client's obligation to cooperate

The Client agrees to:

• provide the content needed for the project (text, images, logo, access credentials) on time and in adequate quality,
• review completed work and give feedback within a reasonable time,
• provide the point of contact specified in the contract for consultations.

7. Intellectual property

• Ownership of the final, fully paid-for work (website/web app source code, custom graphic elements) transfers to the Client once the final invoice is settled, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• The Provider is entitled to showcase the completed work in their own portfolio as a reference, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing (e.g. a non-disclosure agreement).
• Third-party elements (e.g. licensed templates, stock photos, external libraries) are used under their own licence terms; rights to these do not transfer to the Client.

8. Defects and warranty

• The Provider will fix, free of charge, any defects caused by them (e.g. functional bugs, deviation from the order) for [X] days after delivery.
• It is not considered a defect if the Client subsequently requests a new feature or content change – this is treated as a separate order/fee.
• The warranty does not cover modifications made by the Client or a third party without the Provider's knowledge and approval.

9. Limitation of liability

• The Provider carries out their work with reasonable care, but accepts no liability for the lawfulness of content supplied by the Client, or for outages of third-party services (e.g. hosting provider, domain registrar, payment provider).
• In the event of breach of contract, the Provider's liability is limited to the fee set out in the contract, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Withdrawal and termination

• If the Client withdraws after the contract is formed but before work begins, the deposit is refunded [in full / in part] – unless the parties agree otherwise.
• If the Client withdraws after work has begun, the Client must reimburse the proportional fee for work already completed.
• Either party may terminate the contract with immediate effect in the event of a serious breach by the other party.

11. Data protection

The Provider processes the personal data of the Client and their customers in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and – for Hungarian clients – the applicable data protection laws. A separate Privacy Notice is available on the website.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

• The Provider is a sole trader registered in the United Kingdom, so these Terms and any contracts formed under them are governed by the law of England and Wales, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
• If the Client is a private individual (consumer) based in Hungary, mandatory Hungarian consumer-protection provisions that cannot be excluded by contract may still apply to them – this choice of law does not exclude that.
• Hungarian Clients contracting as a business (B2B) may expressly agree in the contract to the application of UK law and UK jurisdiction.
• In the event of a dispute, the parties will first seek to resolve it amicably, through negotiation.
• If this does not lead to a resolution, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, unless otherwise agreed.

13. Miscellaneous provisions

• The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms; amendments take effect upon publication on the website and do not retroactively affect contracts already in progress.
• If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
• Matters not covered by these Terms are governed by applicable law.
