3. Engagement and Project Agreement

A Project becomes binding when the Client accepts a proposal, quotation, SOW, order, subscription, or other written engagement document issued by Designhood, or when the Client makes a payment for the Services.

Project-specific documents may contain terms that supplement or modify these Terms. Where there is a direct conflict, the specific written agreement for that Project will take precedence to the extent of that conflict.

Designhood may decline or discontinue an enquiry or proposed engagement where the requested Services are outside our capabilities, unavailable, unlawful, or otherwise unsuitable for the business.

4. Proposals, Scope and Changes

Before commencing a Project, Designhood may provide a proposal, quotation, or SOW describing the agreed scope.

Unless expressly included in the agreed scope, the following may be treated as additional work:

Additional pages, screens, features, functionality, or integrations

Additional content creation or migration
Additional development or custom coding
Third-party software, applications, plugins, subscriptions, licenses, domains, hosting, or other external costs
Work resulting from changes to previously approved requirements

Additional work may be quoted and invoiced separately before commencement.

5. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to provide accurate, complete, and timely information, materials, access credentials, approvals, content, branding assets, and other inputs reasonably required to provide the Services.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that materials supplied to Designhood, including text, images, logos, videos, documents, trademarks, and other content, may legally be used for the Project.

Delays caused by missing information, delayed approvals, unavailable access, or other Client dependencies may extend the agreed Project timeline.

The Client is responsible for reviewing and approving Deliverables within the agreed review periods.

For international Clients, invoices may be issued in USD or another mutually agreed currency. The Client is responsible for any applicable charges imposed by their bank, payment provider, or intermediary financial institution.

7. Digital Services and Service Delivery

Designhood primarily provides Services digitally.

Deliverables may be supplied through email, cloud storage, Wix, client accounts, project platforms, or other agreed digital channels.

Further details regarding delivery and fulfilment are provided in our Service Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Where a third-party subscription or service is required, the Client may be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the applicable account or subscription unless otherwise agreed.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Designhood retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property, proprietary processes, templates, frameworks, reusable components, systems, methodologies, tools, concepts, and know-how.

Continuing the engagement would create a legal, security, or reputational risk; or

Termination does not remove the Client's obligation to pay amounts already due for Services performed or expenses properly incurred.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Designhood will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or loss-of-profit damages arising from the use of our website or Services.

Designhood's aggregate liability relating to a specific Project will, to the extent permitted by law, be limited to the fees actually paid to Designhood for that Project during the applicable period giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

The affected party will take reasonable steps to resume performance when practicable.
