Terms of Use
Last updated: [DATE — set when the site goes live]
[Remove this note before launch] Starter document written for a brochure site with one contact form. Every item in [square brackets] must be confirmed, and the whole document should be reviewed by a lawyer before the site goes live. These terms cover use of the website only; work we do for clients is covered by the terms we confirm to you in writing.
1. Acceptance
By using this website you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Who we are
The site is operated by [PLACEHOLDER: legal entity name] (“Web Leads Made Easy”, “we”, “us”), [PLACEHOLDER: mailing address]. You can reach us at hello@studio.example or (555) 555-0100.
3. Using the site
You may browse the site and use the contact form to get in touch about work for your business. You may not:
- scrape, copy or harvest content, code or contact details from the site by automated means;
- interfere with the site, its hosting or its security, or try to gain access to anything not intended to be public;
- use the contact form to send spam, unlawful content, or anything that misrepresents who you are or who you work for;
- use the site for any purpose that is unlawful where you are.
4. Ownership of content
Everything on this site — text, design, code, logos, photographs, video and the client site screenshots shown in the portfolio — belongs to Web Leads Made Easy or to the clients and licensors who allowed us to show it. Client names, logos and websites shown in the portfolio belong to those clients. You may view the site and share links to it. You may not reuse, republish or redistribute any of it without our written permission, except where the law allows (for example, brief quotation for review).
5. What you send us
Anything you send through the contact form is used to reply to you, as described in the Privacy Policy. Do not send confidential business information, passwords, payment details or anything you would not want an email to contain. By sending us a message you confirm that the details in it are accurate and that you are entitled to share them.
6. No guarantees
The site is provided “as is”. Information on it, including prices, timelines and the results described in the portfolio, is general information about our services and not an offer, a quotation or professional advice. The price and scope for your project are the ones we confirm to you in writing before work starts. [PLACEHOLDER: lawyer to confirm how the rent-to-own terms are recorded, given the site says there is no contract.] We try to keep the site accurate and available but do not promise that it will be error-free, uninterrupted or up to date.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Web Leads Made Easy is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or anything on it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Links to other sites
The portfolio links to client websites, and other pages may link to third-party sites. Those sites are run by other people, have their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.
9. Your responsibility to us
If your misuse of the site (see section 3) causes a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and losses that result.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [PLACEHOLDER: governing-law jurisdiction, e.g. the State of __ / the Province of __], and any dispute will be dealt with by the courts there, unless the law where you live gives you the right to a different forum.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Severability and contact
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. Questions about these terms: hello@studio.example.
