Terms & Conditions

The rules for using this website, and the general terms we work under when a project starts. Written to be read, not to be survived.

Last updated 4 September 2026  ·  Effective 4 September 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of thewebxstudio.com (the “website”) and set out the general terms on which Web{X} Studio (“Web{X}”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides design, development and related services.

By browsing the website or sending us an enquiry, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website.

A signed proposal always wins. Sections 6 to 14 are defaults that apply where no separate written agreement covers the point. Where you have a signed proposal, statement of work or contract with us, that document governs the project, and these terms fill only the gaps it leaves.

2. Definitions

  • Client — the person or organisation engaging us for services.
  • Proposal — the written quote, statement of work or scope document describing a specific project, its price and its timeline.
  • Deliverables — the designs, code, content and files we produce for the Client under a Proposal.
  • Third-Party Materials — anything not created by us that a project depends on: fonts, stock imagery, plugins, themes, APIs, hosting, and open-source libraries.

3. Using this website

You may view, browse and print pages from this website for your own use and to evaluate working with us. You agree not to:

  • Copy, republish or redistribute our content as your own, or use it to build a competing offering.
  • Scrape, crawl or harvest the site beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, or use automated tools that place unreasonable load on it.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server or any connected system, or probe it for vulnerabilities without our written permission.
  • Introduce malware, or interfere with the site’s availability for anyone else.
  • Use our contact form, email or phone number to send spam, bulk sales approaches or unlawful content.
  • Use the site in any way that breaks the law in your country or in India.

We may withdraw access to the site, without notice, from anyone who does any of the above.

4. Website content and intellectual property

Everything on this website — the code, layout, copy, photography, illustrations, the Web{X} name and logo, and the case studies — is owned by Web{X} Studio or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and trade mark law.

Project images shown in our work and case studies are published with the relevant client’s permission. Those clients own their own brands, logos and content; nothing here grants you any right to use them.

You may quote or link to our writing with clear attribution and a link back to the original page. Anything more — reproduction, adaptation, commercial use — needs our written permission first.

5. Prices and quotes are not binding offers

Any prices, packages, timelines or indicative figures shown on this website or in our blog are illustrative. They are not an offer capable of acceptance, and they do not commit us to a price for your project.

A price binds us only when it appears in a written Proposal issued to you and is accepted within the validity period stated on it. Where no period is stated, a Proposal is valid for 30 days from its date.

We reserve the right to decline any enquiry or project, and we are not obliged to give a reason.

6. How a project starts

A project begins when you accept a Proposal in writing — by signature, or by a clear confirmation by email — and any deposit stated in that Proposal has been received.

Until both of those have happened, we hold no dates for you and no work is in progress. Scheduling is allocated in the order Proposals are accepted.

7. Scope, revisions and changes

Each Proposal defines what is included: the pages or screens, the features, the number of revision rounds, and what is explicitly out of scope. We deliver what that document describes.

Work that falls outside it — new pages, added features, a change of direction after a stage is approved, or revisions beyond the agreed rounds — is a change. We will quote it before starting it, in writing, along with any effect on the timeline. Nothing extra gets billed to you as a surprise.

Timelines in a Proposal assume feedback, content and approvals arrive within the agreed windows. Where they do not, dates move accordingly, and we will tell you the new dates rather than let them drift silently.

8. What we need from you

To deliver on time we rely on you to:

  • Supply content, copy, images, logos and brand assets in the agreed formats and by the agreed dates.
  • Give us the access we need — domain, hosting, analytics, repositories, third-party accounts — when the work requires it.
  • Name one person who can give feedback and sign off decisions, so we are not reconciling contradictory instructions.
  • Give consolidated feedback within the agreed window.

You confirm that you own, or have the right to use, everything you send us, and that our using it as intended will not infringe anyone else’s rights.

9. Fees and payment

  • Fees, currency, the payment schedule and any deposit are as stated in the Proposal.
  • Unless the Proposal says otherwise, invoices are payable within 15 days of the invoice date.
  • Prices exclude GST and any other applicable taxes, duties or bank charges, which are added where required by law and payable by the Client.
  • Recurring services — maintenance, retainers, hosting we arrange — are billed in advance for the agreed period.
  • Third-party costs passed through at our cost (domains, licences, stock, paid plugins) are itemised, and we will not commit you to them without approval.
  • We may pause work on an overdue account after giving written notice, and may charge interest on overdue sums at the rate permitted by law.
  • Deposits reserve time in our schedule and are non-refundable once work has begun, except where we are at fault.

10. Ownership of the work

On receipt of payment in full for a project, we assign to the Client the intellectual property rights in the final Deliverables produced specifically for that project, so you own the site or product we built for you.

Two things sit outside that transfer:

  • Our toolkit. We keep ownership of the general know-how, methods, frameworks, component libraries and reusable code we bring to every project. You receive a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use those elements as part of your Deliverables — but not to extract and resell them on their own.
  • Work not chosen. Concepts, drafts and design routes that were not selected remain ours.

Until payment is made in full, all rights in the Deliverables stay with us, and any use of them is unlicensed.

11. Third-party materials and services

Most projects rely on things we did not build: fonts, stock imagery, plugins, themes, hosting, payment gateways and APIs. Those come with their own licences and terms, which we will identify, and which the Client is responsible for holding and renewing in the Client’s own name.

We are not responsible for a third party changing its pricing, terms, API or availability, or for downtime in a service we do not operate. Where such a change breaks something we built, fixing it is chargeable work unless a maintenance agreement covers it.

12. Portfolio, credit and publicity

Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may display the completed work in our portfolio, case studies, social media and award or directory entries, including screenshots, your logo, and a description of what we did and the results it produced.

We will not publish anything you have marked confidential, and we will hold a project back until its public launch. If you would rather we did not feature the work at all, say so — before or after launch — and we will take it down.

We may place a small, tasteful credit and link in the footer of sites we build. Ask, and we will remove it.

13. Confidentiality

Each of us will keep the other’s confidential information confidential, use it only for the project, and protect it as carefully as we protect our own. This covers business plans, unreleased products, pricing, credentials and anything reasonably understood to be confidential.

It does not cover information that is already public, that a party already knew, that is developed independently, or that must be disclosed by law.

These obligations continue for 3 years after the project ends, and indefinitely for anything that is a trade secret.

14. Launch, support and fixes

After launch we fix defects — work that does not behave as the approved scope said it would — free of charge for 30 days, unless the Proposal states a longer period.

That warranty does not cover new features, content changes, third-party breakage, or problems caused by someone else editing the code or the CMS after handover. Ongoing maintenance, updates, monitoring and content support are available under a separate agreement.

Once a project is handed over, keeping backups, licences and hosting current is the Client’s responsibility unless we are engaged to do it.

15. Warranties and disclaimers

We warrant that we will perform our services with reasonable skill and care, in a professional manner, and in line with the Proposal.

Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows:

  • This website is provided “as is”. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
  • Content on this website — including our blog and guides — is general information, not professional, legal, financial or technical advice for your situation. Take your own advice before acting on it.
  • We do not guarantee particular business outcomes: specific search rankings, traffic volumes, conversion rates, revenue or leads. Search engines and markets are not ours to control. What we commit to is the quality of the work and the practices behind it.
  • We do not warrant that Deliverables will be compatible with every browser, device or third-party service ever released — only with those listed in the Proposal.

16. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent the law allows:

  • Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill or business interruption, however caused.
  • Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with a project is limited to the total fees paid by the Client to us for that project in the 12 months before the claim arose.
  • Our total aggregate liability in connection with your use of this website, where you are not a Client, is limited to INR 10,000.

These limits reflect the fees charged and the allocation of risk both parties accepted when the Proposal was agreed.

17. Indemnity

The Client will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from: content or materials the Client supplied that infringe someone else’s rights; the Client’s use of the Deliverables in a way not contemplated by the Proposal; or the Client’s breach of these terms or of applicable law.

18. Termination

Either party may terminate a project by giving 14 days’ written notice, or immediately if the other party commits a material breach that is not remedied within 14 days of being told about it, or becomes insolvent.

On termination: fees for work completed and costs already committed up to the termination date become payable; deposits are not refunded where work has begun; and rights in the Deliverables transfer only to the extent that the corresponding work has been paid for in full.

Sections 4, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, 23 and 24 survive termination.

19. Events outside our control

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control — including natural disaster, war, civil unrest, epidemic, strike, failure of power or telecommunications, or the failure of a major third-party platform. Affected obligations are suspended for the duration, and we will tell you promptly and agree revised dates.

21. Privacy and cookies

How we handle personal data, which cookies we set, and the choices you have over them are set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

22. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page when you use the website is the version that applies to that use, and the version in force when a Proposal is accepted is the version that applies to that project. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version.

23. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of India.

The courts at Ludhiana, Punjab, India have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may bring proceedings to protect our intellectual property in any competent court.

Before starting proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith — a conversation first, escalated in writing, with 30 days to reach a resolution. Most disagreements are cheaper to solve that way, and usually are.

24. General

  • Entire agreement. A signed Proposal together with these terms is the whole agreement between us on its subject matter, and replaces earlier discussions.
  • Severability. If a clause is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
  • No waiver. Not enforcing a right once does not waive it.
  • Assignment. Neither party may assign the agreement without the other’s written consent, except to a successor of its business.
  • Independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship.
  • Notices. Written notice by email to the addresses used for the project is valid notice.
