Terms of Service

1Services we provide

CNWebDevs provides website design and setup on a per-project basis. Depending on scope, a project may include website design and development, domain procurement or transfer assistance, and website deployment and hosting configuration.

No ongoing service, maintenance, monitoring, or support of any kind is implied or guaranteed beyond the agreed project scope, unless it is set out in a separate signed written agreement.

2The free preview

At our discretion, we may build a functioning website preview for you before any financial commitment. You can review it and decline to proceed with no obligation and no penalty. If you decline at the preview stage, nothing is owed and neither party has any further obligation.

Once you confirm you wish to proceed beyond the preview, the Payment Agreement becomes binding.

3Pricing and estimates

Any online estimator or per-feature pricing shown on this site is indicative only. It is not a binding quote, a published rate, or a pricing precedent. Final project fees are determined individually after we review the full scope and requirements of your project, and the fee written into your Payment Agreement is the final agreed price and supersedes any earlier estimate.

4Deposit

A non-refundable deposit is required before we begin any final development beyond the free preview stage. Paying it confirms you wish to proceed and accepts both the Payment Agreement and the Terms of Service Agreement in full.

The deposit is non-refundable for anything initiated by you, including cancellation or change of mind, failure to provide required content or constructive responses, or dissatisfaction with the design direction before final delivery. We do not begin final development until the deposit is confirmed as received.

5Final payment and handoff

The remaining balance is due in full before Handoff. We reserve the right to withhold Handoff of all deliverables, including the completed website files, Project Credentials, domain access, and hosting configuration, until full and final payment is received. Credentials you provided to us are never withheld.

If final payment is not received within 5 business days of the Handoff notification, we may suspend access to the delivered website or retain the files and accounts until payment is confirmed. We are not liable for any business interruption or loss resulting from a delay caused by late final payment.

6Ownership, credentials, and accounts

Upon full and final payment, we transfer to you all practical access and Project Credentials for the project, including domain access, hosting configuration, and the final compiled website files. This is the Handoff.

• Project Credentials are accounts we created on your behalf, such as hosting, domain registrar, and deployment platform accounts. We may withhold these until final payment.
• Client-Provided Credentials are logins you gave us to complete the project. These are never withheld, and we destroy our copies of them on completion, handoff, or termination, whichever comes first.
• Accounts in your name: where we register a domain or set up registrar, hosting, or other accounts using your details, you authorize us to do so to deliver the project. We cover the first year of domain registration unless agreed otherwise; renewals and any optional paid services after that are your responsibility.

Until final payment and Handoff, we retain administrative control of those accounts even where they are registered in your name, and you agree not to contact a registrar or host to take them over early. You are responsible for updating any passwords you previously shared with us after handoff.

7Intellectual property

On full and final payment, you own the specific completed deliverable: its unique visual design, the content you provided, and the final compiled files as handed off.

We retain ownership of, and the unrestricted right to reuse, the underlying code, scripts, functions, components, and structures; general design approaches, layouts, workflows, and methods; and any reusable tools, templates, or frameworks we develop, including on other projects. Delivering your site to you does not stop us from producing similar work for other clients. We may reference your completed site in a professional portfolio unless you ask us in writing not to. Any third-party tools or libraries included in the deliverable remain subject to their own licenses.

8No post-handoff support

We provide no warranty, guarantee, or reasonable expectation of post-handoff technical support, maintenance, troubleshooting, updates, or modifications. Once the project is delivered and final payment is received, our obligations under the agreement are fulfilled in full.

You are solely responsible for the ongoing management, maintenance, security, and operation of your website after handoff. We are happy to take on future work for a separate fee, as described below.

9No revenue or performance guarantee

We make no representation or guarantee about your business revenue, website traffic, search engine visibility or rankings, customer acquisition, leads, sales, or any other business outcome. Any comments we make about potential benefits are informational only and are not a promise or projection of results.

10Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CNWebDevs, including Caleb Manning and Nazar Parkhomenko individually, is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages arising from the delivered website or its use, lost revenue, profits, data, or goodwill, failures by third-party hosting or domain providers, errors in content you supplied, unauthorized access after handoff, or actions taken with the site after delivery. Our total aggregate liability will not exceed the total amount you paid under the Payment Agreement.

11Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, materials, and content needed to complete the project;
• Review and respond to previews and revision requests within 5 business days. A response must be constructive, meaning it meaningfully advances the project (for example, providing requested content, giving specific feedback, or confirming a decision). One-word replies, non-committal statements, or repeated deferrals do not count;
• Ensure that all content, images, logos, and text you provide do not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights;
• Manage your own domain, hosting, credentials, and third-party services after handoff;
• Comply with all applicable laws in operating your website.

We may suspend or end services and void the agreement if you breach these duties. In that case any deposit is forfeited and we keep full ownership of all work completed to that point.

12Cancellation

If you cancel after paying the deposit, the deposit is forfeited and all work completed remains our property unless full payment is received. No further obligation then exists between us.

If we cannot complete the project due to circumstances solely on our end, we refund your deposit in full, which represents the full extent of our liability in that case. If we registered a domain on your behalf, we will transfer control of it to you once you reimburse the first-year registration cost. Where either party terminates because of a force majeure event, the deposit is refunded in full provided proper written notice was given.

13Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, civil unrest, government action, labour disputes, power or internet outages, or failures of third-party hosting, domain, or telecommunications providers. The affected party must give notice as soon as reasonably practicable. If such an event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate in writing, and the cancellation terms apply. Payment obligations are not waived by a force majeure event.

14Confidentiality

Each party keeps the other's non-public business, technical, and personal information confidential and uses it only to complete the project. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to it, or must be disclosed by law.

15Business continuity

We do not guarantee that CNWebDevs will continue operating at any point in the future and reserve the right to cease operations at any time. These terms govern only the specific project described in your Payment Agreement and do not imply or create any ongoing business relationship beyond it.

16Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CNWebDevs, including Caleb Manning and Nazar Parkhomenko individually, from any claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from content or instructions you provided and we incorporated, your use, modification, or hosting of the website after handoff, or your breach of these terms or applicable law. This obligation survives completion, handoff, or termination. It does not apply to material we sourced and added on our own initiative without your provision or instruction.

17Website content ownership

The design, code, copy, graphics, and interactive features of cnwebdevs.com are the property of CNWebDevs and are protected by copyright. You may view and interact with the site, but you may not copy, scrape, republish, resell, or redistribute any part of it or its source code without our written permission. Automated scraping, dataset crawling, and archiving are not permitted. Standard search engines and AI answer engines are welcome to index the site.

18Disputes and governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Any dispute is submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, and both parties waive any objection to venue or jurisdiction in any other forum. In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation before starting any formal legal proceedings.

19Future work

Your website is yours to keep and manage independently. We are available for updates, redesigns, new features, and maintenance at any time, for a fee based on the scope of the request. When we work on your live site, we request temporary access through official platform sharing tools, such as a Netlify team invitation. You stay in full control, and access returns to you alone once the work is complete.
