The terms of working together

Thank you for choosing You K Designs. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at youkdesigns.com (the “Site”) and the design, development and digital marketing services we provide (the “Services”). By accessing the Site or engaging our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms together with our Privacy Policy.

You K Designs is a trading name of You K Tech Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, with its registered office at 95 Kings Rd, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL2 1ER. In these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to You K Tech Ltd.

We provide website design and development, branding, UI/UX, digital marketing, SEO and related services as described on our Site. The specific Services, deliverables, timelines and fees for your project will be set out in a written proposal, quote or statement of work (the “Proposal”) agreed between us.

Where there is any conflict between these Terms and a signed Proposal, the Proposal takes precedence for that project. Any work outside the agreed scope (“additional work”) will be quoted and agreed separately before it begins.

The fees for your project are set out in your Proposal. Unless agreed otherwise:

• Deposits— projects may require a deposit before work begins, as stated in the Proposal.
• Stage payments— larger projects may be invoiced in stages tied to agreed milestones.
• Invoices— payment is due within the period stated on the invoice (typically 14 days) unless agreed otherwise.
• Third-party costs— our fees exclude third-party costs such as domains, hosting, premium plugins, stock assets, fonts and paid advertising spend, which you are responsible for unless your Proposal states otherwise.

We may charge interest on overdue invoices in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. We may pause work on a project where invoices remain unpaid.

To deliver your project effectively, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete and timely information, content and feedback;
• Supply any materials (text, images, logos, access credentials) we reasonably need;
• Confirm that you own or are licensed to use any materials you provide to us, and that they do not infringe any third party’s rights;
• Respond to requests and approvals within a reasonable time;
• Pay all agreed fees and expenses when due.

Delays in providing materials, feedback or approvals may affect project timelines and costs. We are not responsible for delays caused by matters outside our control.

Unless your Proposal states otherwise, ownership of the final deliverables transfers to you once we have received payment in full for the relevant project. Until full payment is received, all rights in the work remain with us.

We retain ownership of any pre-existing tools, code libraries, frameworks and know-how we use to create your deliverables, and grant you a licence to use them as part of the final work. Third-party assets (such as fonts, plugins or stock media) remain subject to their own licences, which you are responsible for maintaining.

Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may display your project in our portfolio and marketing as an example of our work.

Your Proposal will set out the number of revision rounds included. Additional revisions beyond those included, or changes to previously approved work, may be charged at our standard rates.

Once you approve a deliverable or stage, it is treated as accepted. Work required to change an approved deliverable will be treated as additional work.

We deliver our Services with reasonable skill and care. However, for marketing, SEO and advertising services in particular, we cannot and do not guarantee specific results such as search rankings, traffic volumes, conversions or revenue. These depend on many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithms, competition and market conditions.

Any timelines, estimates or projections we provide are made in good faith but are not guarantees.

Your project may involve third-party platforms and services (such as hosting providers, content management systems, payment processors, advertising platforms and analytics tools). These are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, performance or actions. Where we recommend a third party, the decision to use them remains yours.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to that, we are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with our Services.

Subject to the above, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with a project, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the total fees paid by you to us for that project.

Either party may terminate a project by giving written notice as set out in the Proposal, or, if the Proposal is silent, by giving reasonable written notice. We may suspend or terminate Services immediately if you materially breach these Terms, including non-payment.

On termination, you agree to pay for all work completed and any non-cancellable costs we have committed to up to the termination date. Provisions intended to survive termination — including those on payment, intellectual property and liability — will continue to apply.

You may use our Site for lawful purposes only. You must not use it in any way that breaches applicable law, is fraudulent, or could damage or impair the Site or its security. The content on our Site is provided for general information and is owned by or licensed to us; you may not reproduce it without our permission.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right does not waive that right.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force is the one published on this page, with the effective date shown above. Continued use of our Site or Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
