Terms of Service

These Terms govern all design, development, marketing and automation services supplied by Moz Digitals. Please read them in full — in particular Section 7 (Fees, Refunds & Chargebacks), which limits when any money is returnable.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“Client”, “you”) and Moz Digitals (“Moz Digitals”, “we”, “us”). They apply when you browse https://mozdigitals.com, submit an enquiry, accept a proposal, or pay an invoice. Where a signed proposal or statement of work conflicts with these Terms, the signed document prevails for that engagement only.

§ 1

Who We Are and What We Provide

Moz Digitals is a digital agency providing web design, web development, e-commerce builds, mobile application development, branding and graphic design, search engine optimisation, digital marketing, and CRM and marketing-automation implementation (including GoHighLevel).

We provide professional services on a best-efforts basis. We do not sell goods, we do not resell third-party software licences unless expressly stated, and we do not guarantee any particular commercial outcome such as revenue, rankings, traffic volume, conversion rate, funding, or sales.

Any figures, ranges, timelines or case-study results shown on this website are illustrative of past work. They are not a forecast, promise or warranty of the results your project will achieve.
§ 2

Eligibility and Authority

By engaging us you represent that you are at least 18 years old, that you have legal capacity to enter contracts, and that where you act for a company you are authorised to bind it.

You further represent that all information you supply — including billing details, domain ownership and content you provide — is accurate and lawfully yours to use.

§ 3

Proposals, Scope and Acceptance

Each engagement is defined by a written proposal or statement of work setting out deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, milestones and price.

  • Proposals are valid for 30 days from issue unless stated otherwise.
  • A project is accepted when you approve the proposal in writing (email is sufficient) or pay the deposit — whichever occurs first.
  • Anything not expressly listed as in scope is out of scope.
  • Additional work is quoted separately as a change request and does not extend the original timeline or price.
3.1 Change Requests

Requests that alter agreed scope, structure, platform or design direction after approval of that stage will be quoted as additional work. We are not obliged to begin change-request work until it is approved and, where applicable, paid for.

§ 4

Your Responsibilities

Delivery depends on your timely cooperation. You agree to:

  • Provide content, copy, images, logos, brand assets and access credentials promptly;
  • Nominate a single decision-maker authorised to give approvals;
  • Respond to review requests, proofs and questions within five (5) business days;
  • Hold all necessary rights and licences for material you supply to us; and
  • Maintain your own hosting, domain and third-party subscriptions unless we have agreed in writing to manage them.

You are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy and ownership of content you supply. We are entitled to rely on it without independent verification.

§ 5

Timelines, Delays and Dormant Projects

Timelines quoted are estimates based on prompt client response and are not of the essence. Dates shift where you are late supplying material or approvals, where scope changes, or where a third party we depend on is delayed.

5.1 Client-Caused Delay

Where a project is delayed by you for more than fourteen (14) days, we may reallocate the assigned team and reschedule the remaining work to the next available slot. Rescheduling is not a breach by us and does not entitle you to a refund, discount or compensation.

5.2 Dormant Projects

A project with no substantive client response for thirty (30) consecutive days is treated as dormant. A project dormant for sixty (60) consecutive days is deemed completed and delivered as-is. All sums paid become non-refundable in full, outstanding invoices fall due immediately, and resuming work requires a new proposal and a reactivation fee.

Storing, backing up and maintaining an inactive project has an ongoing cost to us. Dormancy provisions are applied consistently and are not waived on request.
§ 6

Revisions and Approval

Your proposal states the number of revision rounds included at each stage. A revision round is one consolidated set of feedback, delivered in a single response.

  • Revisions must relate to the agreed scope. Requests for a new direction, new concept or restructured layout are new work, not revisions.
  • Revisions beyond the included allowance are chargeable at our prevailing hourly rate.
  • A stage is deemed approved once you confirm it in writing, or after five (5) business days without written objection, whichever is earlier.
  • Once a stage is approved, revisiting it is a change request under Section 3.1.

Subjective dissatisfaction with an approved stage does not constitute a defect and is not grounds for refund. Taste is not a deliverable; the agreed scope is.

§ 7

Fees, Refunds and Chargebacks

Summary: deposits are never refundable; work already performed is never refundable; and no refund of any kind is available once a project has been open for more than sixty (60) days. Read this section in full before paying.
7.1 Payment Terms
  • A non-refundable deposit of 50% (or as stated in your proposal) is payable before work begins.
  • Remaining sums are payable at the milestones set out in the proposal, or on completion for smaller engagements.
  • Invoices are due within seven (7) days of issue unless stated otherwise.
  • Overdue amounts accrue interest at 2% per month, and we may suspend work, staging access and support until the account is settled.
  • All prices exclude applicable taxes, third-party licences, subscriptions, stock assets, domains and hosting unless expressly included.
  • Final files, source code and credentials are released only after all sums due have cleared.
7.2 Deposits Are Non-Refundable

The deposit reserves your production slot, removes that capacity from sale to other clients, and covers discovery, planning and scheduling performed at the start of every engagement. It is non-refundable in all circumstances, including where you change your mind, your funding falls through, your business circumstances change, or you decide not to proceed before any deliverable is issued.

7.3 The 60-Day Rule

No refund of any kind is available for a project that has been open with us for more than sixty (60) days, measured from the date of deposit payment. This applies regardless of the stage reached, regardless of how much of the delay was caused by awaiting your content or approvals, and regardless of whether the project has launched.

After sixty (60) days the entire contract value is earned and payable in full, and any unpaid balance remains due.

7.4 When a Refund May Be Considered

Within the first sixty (60) days, a partial refund of amounts paid — less the non-refundable deposit and less the value of all work performed, third-party costs incurred and time booked — may be considered only where all of the following apply:

  • We have materially failed to deliver an agreed deliverable;
  • You notified us of the failure in writing, with specifics, within seven (7) days of it arising;
  • We were given a reasonable opportunity of at least thirty (30) days to remedy it and did not do so; and
  • The failure was not caused or contributed to by your delay, your supplied content, a change of requirements, or a third-party service outside our control.

Refund requests are assessed on the documented record of work performed. Our determination of the value of work performed is final. Refunds, where granted, are issued to the original payment method within thirty (30) days and are accompanied by immediate termination of all licences granted to you under Section 9.

7.5 Circumstances That Are Never Refundable

For the avoidance of doubt, no refund is available where:

  • You change your mind, rebrand, restructure, or no longer want the deliverable;
  • You are dissatisfied with a design direction you previously approved;
  • The work is complete but you have not deployed or used it;
  • The project is delayed or dormant because of your non-response (see Section 5.2);
  • A commercial outcome — traffic, rankings, leads, sales or revenue — did not meet your expectations;
  • A third-party platform, plugin, host, API or payment processor changes, fails or withdraws service;
  • You or another party modified the delivered work after handover;
  • The engagement is for SEO, advertising, marketing, consulting, strategy, training or any other time-based service; or
  • Any sum remains outstanding on your account.
7.6 Recurring Services and Retainers

Monthly retainers, care plans, hosting and management fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable for the current period. Cancellation requires thirty (30) days' written notice and takes effect at the end of the notice period. Unused hours do not carry over and hold no cash value.

7.7 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

You agree to raise any billing concern with us in writing before contacting your bank or card issuer, and to allow us fourteen (14) days to respond.

Initiating a chargeback, payment reversal or dispute for services that have been delivered, or in circumstances where these Terms provide no refund, is a material breach of this agreement. In that event we may, without further notice:

  • Immediately suspend or terminate all services, access, hosting and support;
  • Revoke all licences to the deliverables under Section 9, making continued use of them an infringement of our intellectual property;
  • Take the delivered work offline where it sits on infrastructure we control;
  • Submit the full project record — proposal, approvals, correspondence, timesheets, commits and delivery evidence — to the card scheme in response;
  • Charge an administrative fee of USD 150 per disputed transaction, plus any fee levied on us by the processor; and
  • Recover all sums due, together with interest and reasonable costs of collection, including legal and agency fees.
We keep detailed, timestamped delivery records for every engagement precisely so that disputes can be answered with evidence. A chargeback does not extinguish a debt properly owed and does not transfer ownership of any deliverable.
7.8 Statutory Rights

Nothing in this Section removes any right you have that cannot lawfully be excluded under the mandatory consumer-protection law of your jurisdiction. Where such a right applies, this Section operates to the fullest extent permitted by that law. Where you contract as a business, the exclusions in this Section apply in full.

§ 8

Cancellation and Termination

8.1 Cancellation by You

You may cancel at any time on written notice. On cancellation the deposit is forfeited, all work performed up to the cancellation date becomes immediately payable at our standard rates, and any third-party costs already incurred on your behalf are recharged in full. Deliverables produced but not paid for remain our property.

8.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate an engagement where you fail to pay, fail to cooperate, breach these Terms, supply unlawful material, or behave abusively toward our staff. Where we terminate for cause, sums paid are non-refundable and outstanding sums remain due.

8.3 Effect of Termination

Sections 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19 survive termination.

§ 9

Intellectual Property

Ownership transfers on full payment, and not before. Until every sum due has cleared, all deliverables, source code, design files and assets remain the exclusive property of Moz Digitals, and any use of them is unlicensed.

On receipt of final payment we assign to you the intellectual property rights in the final deliverables produced specifically for you.

  • We retain ownership of our pre-existing frameworks, libraries, tooling, internal components and know-how, and grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use them as embedded in your deliverable;
  • Third-party assets — fonts, stock imagery, plugins, themes and SaaS products — remain subject to their own licences, which you are responsible for maintaining;
  • Concepts, drafts and rejected directions are not assigned and remain ours; and
  • We may display the completed work in our portfolio, case studies and marketing unless you request otherwise in writing before launch.
§ 10

Third-Party Services and Platforms

Projects frequently rely on services we do not control — hosting, domain registrars, payment gateways, WordPress, Shopify, GoHighLevel, Google, Meta, plugins and APIs.

We are not responsible for their availability, pricing, policy changes, data handling, deprecations or failures. Subscription fees for such services are your responsibility and are not included in our fees unless expressly stated. Where a third party changes or withdraws functionality, any remedial work is chargeable.

§ 11

Support, Warranty Period and Maintenance

Unless your proposal states otherwise, we correct defects in our own work — functionality not performing as specified in the agreed scope — free of charge for thirty (30) days after delivery.

The warranty period does not cover new features, content changes, design changes, third-party breakages, issues arising from modifications made by you or another party, or problems caused by your hosting environment. Work outside the warranty is billable, or covered by a separate care plan.

§ 12

Confidentiality and Data

Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential and use it only to perform this agreement. This obligation survives termination.

Where we process personal data on your behalf, we do so in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. You remain the data controller for personal data in systems we build or configure for you, and are responsible for your own privacy notices and lawful basis for processing.

§ 13

Acceptable Use

You may not instruct us to build, host or promote anything unlawful, infringing, deceptive, defamatory, adult, hateful, or designed to mislead consumers, and you may not use deliverables for such purposes.

You may not attempt to breach, probe or disrupt this website or our systems, scrape content at scale, or misuse our forms for unsolicited messages. We may refuse or discontinue any engagement on these grounds without refund.

§ 14

Disclaimer of Warranties

Beyond the express warranty in Section 11, the Service and all deliverables are provided “as is” and “as available”. We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every future browser or device version, or any specific commercial result.

§ 15

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the total fees actually paid by you for that engagement in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data, business or anticipated savings, however arising.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

§ 16

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Moz Digitals, its officers, employees and contractors against any claim, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content or materials you supplied, your use of the deliverables, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of a third party's rights.

§ 17

Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disaster, war, civil unrest, epidemic, strike, utility or internet failure, cyber-attack, government action, or third-party platform outage. Timelines extend accordingly; such events do not create a right to a refund.

§ 18

Dispute Resolution

  • Step one — direct notice. Raise the issue in writing to [email protected], describing it specifically.
  • Step two — good-faith discussion. Both parties will attempt resolution within thirty (30) days of that notice.
  • Step three — mediation or arbitration. Unresolved disputes proceed to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, conducted in English, before any court action is commenced.

Claims must be brought within twelve (12) months of the event giving rise to them, on an individual basis only. Class, collective or representative actions are waived to the extent permitted by law.

§ 19

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Moz Digitals is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 18, the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction.

§ 20

General Provisions

  • Entire agreement. These Terms together with your proposal form the whole agreement and supersede prior discussions.
  • Changes. We may update these Terms; the version in force when your proposal was accepted governs that engagement.
  • Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands and the provision is read down to the minimum extent necessary.
  • No waiver. Failing to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign this agreement without our written consent. We may assign it on a reorganisation or sale of business.
  • Independent contractor. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship.
  • Notices. Written notice to us means email to [email protected].

Acknowledgment

By approving a proposal, paying a deposit, or otherwise engaging Moz Digitals, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms — including the non-refundable deposit, the 60-day rule and the chargeback provisions in Section 7.

Questions about these Terms should be sent to [email protected] before you engage us.
