Terms of use

Who these terms are with

This website, eolaswebdesign.ie (formerly eolaswebdesign.com), is operated by [CONFIRM: registered business name — the limited company name, or the sole trader's own legal name], trading as Eolas Web Design, of [CONFIRM: registered business address], Dublin, Ireland. “We” and “us” below mean that business; “you” means anyone using this site.

By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Using this website

You may read this site, and print or save pages from it, for your own use or for evaluating whether to work with us. You may not scrape it wholesale, republish it as your own, use it to train a commercial model, or use our forms to send anything unlawful, abusive or automated.

We may change, move or remove any part of the site at any time. We try to keep it available continuously but we do not promise that it will never be down.

The free demo

Our offer is what it says: you ask for a demo, we design and build a working preview of your website, and you only pay if you decide to launch it. There is no fee for the demo, no obligation to proceed, and nothing to cancel if you walk away.

A few things worth stating plainly so nobody is surprised:

• The demo is a preview, not a delivered website. It is illustrative of the design direction and will usually contain sample content in places.
• We keep ownership of the demo and everything in it until it has been paid for in full. It is not licensed to you, and it may not be copied, republished or handed to another developer to finish.
• [CONFIRM: how long a demo preview stays online before it is taken down — for example 30 days from the day it is sent].
• We may decline a request, or stop work on a demo, if the request is abusive, unlawful, plainly automated, or so far outside what we do that we would not be the right studio for it.
• Any timeframe we mention for getting a demo back to you is an intention, not a contractual deadline.

Quotes and estimates

Any figure produced by the quote tool on this site is an indicative estimate generated from the answers given. It is not a quotation, not an offer capable of acceptance, and it does not bind either of us. A real price follows a real conversation about the actual project, in writing.

Working with us

If you decide to go ahead after seeing your demo, the work is governed by a separate written agreement — a proposal or contract covering scope, price, payment schedule, timeline and what each of us is responsible for. That agreement takes precedence over anything on this page if the two ever disagree.

Standard commercial terms, stated here for transparency: [CONFIRM: deposit percentage required before work begins] and [CONFIRM: invoice payment terms, for example payment within 14 days of invoice date].

Intellectual property

The design, code, text and images on this site are ours or are used with permission, and are protected by copyright. Our name and logo are our marks. Nothing on this page grants you a licence to use any of it.

Anything you send us — your logo, your photographs, your copy — stays yours. You confirm that you have the right to give it to us and that our using it for your project will not infringe anyone else's rights.

[CONFIRM: what the client owns once a project is paid for in full — for example, ownership of the delivered site design and code transfers on final payment, while our underlying tools, components and know-how remain ours]. Third-party fonts, plugins, stock imagery and services carry their own licences, which pass to you on their own terms.

Links to other sites

Where we link to another website we do so because it is useful, not because we endorse it. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

What we don't promise

The content on this site is provided for general information. We keep it accurate and current as best we can, but we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free or suitable for any particular decision you are making. Articles on our blog are general commentary, not advice for your specific situation.

Our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill or data, arising from your use of this website.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Your rights as a consumer

If you are dealing with us as a consumer rather than as a business, nothing on this page affects your statutory rights under Irish and EU consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2022.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page at the moment you use the site is the one that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed.

Questions about any of this go to hello@eolaswebdesign.ie. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice, and it has not been reviewed by a solicitor.
