Website Terms of Use

The terms on which you may use the Whitespace Digital website, including acceptable use, intellectual property, liability and governing law.

Last updated

These terms govern your use of whitespacedigital.co.uk. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Work we carry out for clients is governed by a separate written agreement, not by these terms. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer capable of acceptance.

Who we are

This website is operated by Whitespace Digital, a web design and development studio based near Farnham, Surrey, England. You can contact us by telephone on 01420 446331.

Using this website

You may view, download and print pages from this site for your own use, or to evaluate our services. You must not remove or alter any copyright or other proprietary notice.

We may update, change or withdraw any part of the site at any time without notice. We may also suspend availability for maintenance.

Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Use the site in any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or that has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the server it is hosted on, or any connected system
  • Introduce any virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb or other malicious code
  • Attack the site by means of a denial-of-service attack
  • Use any automated system to access the site in a way that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce, or to scrape content for republication
  • Submit false, misleading or abusive information through the enquiry form, or use it to send unsolicited commercial messages
  • Reproduce, duplicate or resell any part of the site in breach of these terms

We report breaches of this section to the relevant law enforcement authorities where appropriate, and will co-operate with them by disclosing your identity. Breach of this section may result in your access being withdrawn immediately.

Enquiries and quotations

The enquiry form is provided so that you can tell us about a possible project. Submitting it creates no contract and no obligation on either side.

Any indicative prices given on this website, including price ranges, are illustrative and are not a quotation. A quotation is only binding when we have provided it in writing for a defined scope of work, and it remains valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.

Descriptions of our services are given in good faith and in general terms. What we would actually recommend for your business depends on your specific circumstances, which is what the initial conversation is for.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — text, layout, design, graphics, source code and the arrangement of them — is owned by Whitespace Digital or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.

You may quote short extracts of our written content with clear attribution and a link to the original page. You may not republish substantial parts of it, present it as your own, or use it to train a commercial model without our written permission.

Photographs on this site are licensed from Unsplash under the Unsplash licence and are not ours to sub-license.

The Whitespace Digital name and logo are our trade marks.

Content produced for clients

Where we produce work for a client, ownership of that work transfers to the client in accordance with our separate written agreement, normally on final payment. Any examples of client work shown on this site are shown with permission, and remain the property of the client concerned.

Accuracy of information

The articles and guidance on this site are written carefully and in good faith. They are general information, not professional advice for your particular situation, and technology changes quickly. We update articles when we become aware that something has materially changed, but we do not warrant that everything is current or complete at any given moment.

You should not act on anything here without taking appropriate advice on your own circumstances. Where an article touches on legal or regulatory matters — data protection, accessibility obligations, consumer law — that is doubly true: we are a web studio, not a law firm.

Where we link to a third-party website, we do so because we believe it is useful. We have no control over those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Availability

We aim to keep this website available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for any unavailability, however caused.

Our liability

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

Subject to that:

  • We exclude all conditions, warranties and other terms which might otherwise be implied by statute, common law or equity, to the extent permitted by law
  • We are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website
  • We are not liable for any loss or damage caused by a virus or other technologically harmful material that you may contract through this website, or through any site linked from it
  • We do not accept liability for any indirect or consequential loss of any kind

Where you use this website as a consumer rather than in the course of a business, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

Indemnity

If you use this website in breach of these terms, you agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from that breach.

Privacy and cookies

How we handle personal information is set out in our privacy policy. What is stored in your browser is set out in our cookie policy.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time by amending this page. Please check it from time to time; the "last updated" date at the top shows when it was most recently changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms, their subject matter and their formation are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

Contacting us

If you have a question about these terms, or a concern about anything on this website, please telephone 01420 446331 and we will deal with it. We would always rather resolve something directly than have it escalate.
