Terms.

SPICER DESIGNS LIMITED, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under number 04974419, incorporated 24 November 2003, with its registered office at Moorgate House, King Street, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 2LG, United Kingdom.

The content here is provided for information. We take care to keep it accurate but do not warrant that it is complete or current, and nothing on it constitutes advice you should act on without speaking to us.

The design, code, text and images on this site belong to us unless credited otherwise. You are welcome to read, link to and quote from it. You may not reproduce it wholesale or present it as your own.

Project work is quoted in a written proposal describing scope, deliverables, timescale and cost. Quotes are valid for thirty days. A quote covers what it describes — work that emerges later is welcome, but it is new work and will be quoted separately rather than absorbed silently.

Unless a proposal states otherwise, projects are invoiced in stages: a deposit to reserve studio time and begin, and the balance on completion. Invoices are payable within fourteen days.

Late payment on commercial contracts carries a statutory right to interest and reasonable recovery costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We would always rather have a conversation than invoke it.

On final payment, the intellectual property in the finished design and the bespoke code written for your project transfers to you. Until then it remains ours.

Some elements are not ours to transfer and never become yours exclusively: open-source libraries under their own licences, typefaces licensed from a foundry, and stock imagery licensed from its owner. Those are licensed to you on the terms their creators set, and we will tell you what applies.

We retain the right to describe the work and show it in our portfolio unless you ask us in writing not to, which is a request we will always honour.

Projects need content, feedback and decisions from your side, and they stall without them. You confirm that any text, images, logos or data you supply are yours to use and do not infringe anyone else’s rights.

We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit us to exclude. Subject to that, our liability for any project is limited to the fees paid for it, and we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, data or anticipated savings.

Websites depend on hosting, domains, third-party services and browsers we do not control, and we are not responsible for failures originating in them.

Either side may end a project in writing. Work completed and time committed up to that point is payable; deposits cover reserved studio time and are non-refundable.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

How we handle personal data is set out separately in the privacy notice.
