Terms of Service

1. About us & accepting these terms

We are the Corfu Websites Team, a web design and software studio based in Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. In these terms, "we", "us" and "the studio" mean Corfu Websites Team; "you" and "the client" mean the person or business that engages us.

These terms apply when you accept a written proposal from us, pay a deposit or invoice, or otherwise instruct us to begin work. By doing any of these, you agree to the terms below. Where a specific proposal says something different, the wording of that signed proposal takes priority over these general terms.

Corfu Websites Team is operated by Henri Shani, based in Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. You can reach us at info@corfuwebsites.com.

2. What we do

We design and build digital products for businesses. Each project is defined in its own proposal, but our work generally falls into the categories below.

• Custom websites: designed and built for your brand, not from a generic template.
• Web apps and booking web-apps: interactive tools such as reservation and booking systems.
• Full systems with a backend and database: when your project needs to store and manage data.
• Bilingual EN/GR builds: sites and apps delivered in both English and Greek.
• Maintenance and hosting-care plans: ongoing updates, monitoring and support after launch.

3. Quotes & proposals

We do not publish fixed pricing. Every project is quoted individually based on what you need, the scope of work, and the time involved. After we discuss your project, usually starting with a short call, we send you a written proposal that describes the work, the deliverables, the price and the payment schedule.

A proposal is valid for the period stated on it (for example, 30 days). After that period, prices and availability may change and we may need to re-quote. A proposal becomes binding only once you accept it in writing.

4. Project scope, revisions & timelines

The scope of each project (the pages, features and deliverables) is set out in the agreed proposal. Work that falls outside that scope is treated as a new request and may need extra time and a separate quote. We will always tell you before doing chargeable extra work.

Unless the proposal says otherwise, the price includes one round of revisions within the agreed scope. Further rounds, or changes that go beyond the original scope, can be added and quoted separately.

Most projects are delivered within roughly 3 to 6 weeks. This is a realistic estimate, not a guarantee. The timeline depends heavily on receiving your content, materials, feedback and approvals on time. Delays on the client side, or changes to the brief, will move the delivery date accordingly.

5. Payment

The price, payment schedule and any deposit are set out in your accepted proposal. We do not list fixed amounts here because every project is quoted individually. You agree to pay according to the schedule in the proposal.

Work may be paused if an agreed payment is overdue, and final files, code or transfer of ownership are released once payment in full has been received. Any third-party costs (such as domains, hosting, paid plugins or licences) are billed as agreed in the proposal or passed on to you at cost.

6. Your responsibilities

A good project is a partnership. To keep things on schedule, we need a few things from you.

• Content and materials: text, logos, photos and any other assets you want used, supplied in a usable format and on time.
• Timely feedback and approvals: reviewing what we send and approving it within a reasonable time, so the project keeps moving.
• Account access: where needed, access to your domain, hosting, social or other third-party accounts, or help setting them up.
• Rights to your content: confirming you own or have permission to use everything you give us. You are responsible for the legality of the content you supply.

7. Intellectual property

Once the project is paid for in full, ownership of the final, custom-made work we created specifically for you (the design and code delivered under the proposal) transfers to you. Until full payment is received, all work remains our property.

Third-party assets (fonts, stock photos, icons, libraries, frameworks, plugins and similar) remain under the licences of their original owners. You receive the right to use them within your project under those licences; ownership of them is not transferred.

We keep the right to showcase the work we did for you in our portfolio and marketing, for example screenshots, a case study or a link, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.

8. Third-party services

Your project will usually rely on services run by other companies, such as hosting providers, domain registrars, payment gateways, content management systems, analytics and similar tools. These are provided by those companies under their own terms of service and privacy policies, and their pricing and availability are outside our control.

We will recommend suitable services and can help set them up, but we are not responsible for their performance, outages, price changes or any changes they make to their own terms.

9. Warranties & disclaimers

We deliver your project to the scope and quality agreed in the proposal, with reasonable professional care and skill. We will fix genuine faults in our work that are reported within a reasonable period after delivery.

We do not guarantee any specific search-engine ranking, position on Google, amount of traffic, number of sales, leads or any other business result. We can build a site following good SEO practice, but rankings and outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including search-engine algorithms, competition and your own market.

Beyond what is set out here, the work is provided without further warranties to the fullest extent allowed by law. This does not affect any rights you have that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, our total liability for any claim connected to a project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of business opportunity) arising from the use of, or inability to use, the work or any third-party service.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

11. Maintenance & support plans

After launch, you can choose a maintenance or hosting-care plan to keep your site updated, monitored and supported. What each plan covers, for example updates, backups, small content changes and response times, is described when you sign up for it.

Maintenance plans are optional and separate from the build. They usually run on a recurring basis and can be cancelled with reasonable notice as described in the plan. Work requested outside the plan is quoted separately.

12. Termination

Either side can end a project by giving written notice. If you cancel after work has started, you are responsible for paying for the work completed up to that point, plus any third-party costs already committed on your behalf.

We may pause or end a project if invoices stay unpaid, if we cannot get the content or approvals we need to continue, or if the working relationship breaks down. Any transfer of ownership only takes effect once amounts due have been paid in full.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Greece. Any dispute that cannot be resolved between us will be subject to the courts of Corfu (Κέρκυρα), Greece.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example if our services or the law change. The current version is always the one published on this page, with the date shown at the top. The terms that apply to your project are the ones in force when you accepted your proposal.
