2. Acceptance of Orders
A contract is formed between the Company and the Client when:

We reserve the right to refuse any project or service request at our discretion.
3. Web Design & Development Services
If you are engaging us for website design or development:
- Client Obligations: You agree to provide all necessary text, images, and other content required for the project in a timely manner. Delays in providing content may result in a delay in the project completion date.

- Browser Compatibility: We design websites to work with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). We cannot guarantee compatibility with outdated browsers or future browser updates released after the project is completed.
- Mobile Responsiveness: We ensure that websites are responsive and function correctly on standard mobile devices.
4. Hosting & Cloud Services
If you are engaging us for hosting, cloud storage, or VoIP services:
- Service Availability: While we strive for 99.9% uptime, we cannot guarantee that our services will be uninterrupted or error-free. We are not liable for downtime caused by third-party providers, maintenance, or force majeure events.
- Backups: Unless explicitly stated in a separate Maintenance Agreement, the Client is responsible for maintaining their own off-site backups of data.
- Acceptable Use: You agree not to use our hosting or cloud services for any unlawful purpose, including spamming, distributing malware, or hosting illegal content.

- Late Payment: We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate (8% plus the Bank of England base rate) in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
- Suspension of Service: If an account remains unpaid for more than 30 days, we reserve the right to suspend web hosting, VoIP lines, or other ongoing services until the balance is cleared.
6. Intellectual Property (IP)
- Pre-Payment: The Company retains ownership of all IP, code, and design work until the final invoice is paid in full.
- Post-Payment: Upon full payment, ownership of the final website design and custom graphics is transferred to the Client.
- Company Rights: Connect In Cloud Ltd retains the right to display the project in our portfolio and to place a small credit link in the footer of the website (e.g., “Designed by Connect In Cloud”).

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law:
- Connect In Cloud Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.
- Our total liability under any contract shall be limited to the total fees paid by the Client to the Company for the specific Service that gave rise to the claim.
