4. Intellectual Property Rights

All intellectual property created by us during the course of your project—including logos, design elements, and website layouts—shall belong to The Celebrant Studio Ltd until full payment has been received.

Upon full payment, intellectual property rights will be assigned to you, the client, for your specific project use. This excludes any elements developed prior to, or independently of, your project, or licensed third-party components (such as plugins), which remain the property of their respective owners.

You warrant that all content provided to us (including text, images, trademarks, or other materials) is either owned by you or you have appropriate permission to use it. You agree to indemnify us against any third-party claims resulting from infringement of intellectual property rights.

5. Hosting and Support

If you have selected our hosting package:

• Hosting is mandatory for a minimum of 12 months from the date of website launch. A hosting package must be selected during the checkout process to proceed with your website purchase.
• Our hosting includes security monitoring, regular updates, and daily backups
• After 12 months, you may migrate your website to another provider; however, you will lose access to any premium plugins provided through our hosting
• We will not be responsible for website performance or security once migrated

6. Changes and Revisions

The scope of your project includes one round of design amendments unless otherwise specified. Further revisions will be chargeable at the agreed hourly rate. Significant changes outside the original scope, or changes requested after final sign-off, will require a separate quotation.

We are flexible in accommodating your needs, but all change requests must be made in writing and may impact the project timeline and costs.

7. SEO and Browser Compatibility

We ensure all websites are SEO-ready and compatible with modern web browsers. We install a standard SEO plugin (e.g. Yoast) to assist with search optimisation. However, ongoing SEO performance is your responsibility unless otherwise contracted.

• Payments must be made in full or via an agreed payment plan

We will not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including but not limited to lost profits or data, arising from your use of our Website or services.

Your liability to us is limited to the total amount paid for the relevant project or service.
