Anything not specifically included in the agreed project scope may be treated as additional work and may require a revised price and timeline.
2. Quotes and Project Acceptance
Quotes are based on the information available at the time they are prepared and are valid for the period stated in the quote. A project will not be considered scheduled until:

The client is responsible for the accuracy, legality, ownership, and suitability of all content and instructions the client provides. QuickStart Websites may refuse to publish content that appears unlawful, misleading, infringing, abusive, discriminatory, fraudulent, or otherwise inappropriate.
4. Content and Materials
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the client is responsible for providing the text, photographs, logos, product information, policies, disclosures, and other content required for the website. QuickStart Websites may assist with editing, arranging, or creating content when included in the project scope. The client remains responsible for reviewing and approving all final content before publication. The client represents that materials provided to QuickStart Websites do not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other third-party rights. The client agrees to be responsible for claims arising from materials or instructions provided by the client, except to the extent caused by QuickStart Websites’ own unlawful conduct.
5. Payments
Payment terms will be stated in the applicable quote, invoice, or agreement. Unless otherwise stated in writing: A deposit may be required before work begins; The deposit reserves time in the project schedule; Remaining balances are due according to the invoice schedule; Final payment is due before the website is transferred, published, or released to the client; QuickStart Websites may pause work when an invoice is overdue; Late payments may delay the project timeline; The client is responsible for approved third-party expenses.

No ownership rights or final deliverables are transferred until all amounts due for the project have been paid in full.
6. Deposits, Cancellations, and Refunds
Unless otherwise stated in writing, deposits become non-refundable once work has begun because they reserve project time and cover initial planning and design work. If the client cancels a project: The client must pay for all work completed through the cancellation date; The client must reimburse approved third-party expenses already incurred; Any unpaid amount for completed work becomes immediately due; Any amount paid beyond the value of completed work and non-refundable charges will be handled according to the applicable agreement.

The client will remain responsible for completed work and approved expenses.
7. Revisions and Additional Work

Revisions do not include: A complete redesign; A new visual direction after a design has been approved; Additional pages; New features or integrations; Replacing most of the approved content; Work outside the original scope. Additional revisions or work outside the agreed scope may be billed separately. Once the client approves a page, design, feature, or content section, later changes may be treated as additional work.
8. Project Timelines and Delays
Any completion date is an estimate unless expressly guaranteed in writing. The project timeline depends on timely payment, content delivery, access credentials, feedback, approvals, and communication from the client. QuickStart Websites is not responsible for delays caused by: Late content or feedback; Delayed approvals; Changes in scope; Third-party services; Platform outages; Events outside our reasonable control. If the client delays the project, the original completion date may no longer apply, and the project may be moved to the next available opening.

When a project becomes inactive, QuickStart Websites may: Place the project on hold; Adjust the delivery schedule; Require payment for work already completed; Charge a disclosed restart fee before work resumes; Require a new quote if the scope or pricing has changed. A project inactive for 60 days or longer may be closed. Any deposit or payment already earned for completed work will not be refunded.

- Text and spelling
- Contact information
- Prices and service descriptions
- Images and branding
- Forms and links

11. Post-Launch Corrections and Support

17. Legal Policies and Client Compliance
QuickStart Websites may provide general templates or assistance with pages such as privacy policies, terms, accessibility statements, cookie notices, disclaimers, or refund policies.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, QuickStart Websites’ total liability for a claim related to a particular project or service will not exceed the amount the client actually paid QuickStart Websites for that project or service. These limitations do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited or excluded.

- Content or materials supplied by the client
- The client’s products, services, or business practices

QuickStart Websites may use qualified employees, contractors, or service providers to perform portions of the work while remaining responsible for the agreed services.
27. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. The invalid provision will be interpreted or modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.
28. Waiver
A failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later. Any waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific situation stated.
29. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the applicable quote, proposal, invoice, statement of work, and signed client agreement, form the complete agreement relating to the applicable services.
