Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of pagesmith.co (the "Site") and any services provided by Pagesmith ("Pagesmith," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, submitting an inquiry, or purchasing our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or services.

1. Our services

Pagesmith provides brand identity, website design, and related creative and development services. The Site presents information about our studio and lets you request work. Specific projects are governed by a separate proposal or statement of work ("Project Agreement") that describes deliverables, timelines, and fees. If a Project Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Project Agreement controls for that project.

2. Inquiries & proposals

Submitting the intake form or booking a call does not create a binding engagement. A project begins only when both parties agree to a Project Agreement and any required deposit is paid.

3. Fees, payments & deposits

Fees are stated in your Project Agreement or checkout. Payments are processed securely through Stripe; by paying, you also agree to Stripe's terms. Unless stated otherwise:

• A deposit may be required before work begins;
• Invoices are due on the dates specified in your Project Agreement;
• Work may pause if payments are overdue.

4. Refunds & cancellations

Because our work is custom and time-based, deposits and fees for work already performed are generally non-refundable. If you cancel a project, you remain responsible for work completed up to the cancellation date. Any specific refund terms in your Project Agreement take precedence. To discuss a cancellation, contact hi@pagesmith.co.

5. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, and code — is owned by Pagesmith or its licensors and is protected by law. Ownership of project deliverables transfers to you as set out in your Project Agreement, typically upon full payment. Until then, deliverables remain our property. We may display completed work in our portfolio and marketing unless we agree otherwise in writing.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site — including attempting to disrupt it, access it without authorization, or use it for unlawful purposes.

7. Third-party links & services

The Site may link to third-party sites and services (such as Calendly, Stripe, or client work we've launched). We are not responsible for the content or practices of those third parties.

8. Disclaimers

The Site and services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pagesmith will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenues. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site or a project will not exceed the amount you paid to us for the service giving rise to the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Pagesmith harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the Site or your breach of these Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site means you accept the updated Terms.
