Document Overview

When to use a Web Design Services Agreement

A Web Design Services Agreement should be used in situations where a web designer or web design agency is hired to provide web design and development services to a client. Here are some common scenarios in which you would use a Web Design Services Agreement:

  • Create or redesign a website for client business or organisation, or for personal use

What is a Web Design Services Agreement?

As a website designer, it's important that you have the right documents in place to make sure your services are delivered effectively, and even more importantly, that you get remunerated for those services.

A Web Design Services Agreement is a crucial legal contract that defines the terms under which a web designer or design agency offers their services to a client. It outlines project specifics, payment details, intellectual property rights, alterations, confidentiality, termination clauses, warranties, liabilities, dispute resolution, and the governing legal framework.

This agreement is vital for preventing misunderstandings and conflicts by providing a clear framework for both parties' responsibilities and expectations during the web design process. It's advisable to seek legal guidance when creating or evaluating such agreements to ensure their accuracy and enforceability.

Please note that this agreement has been specifically designed for use when providing website design services. If your services are of a more general nature, then you can use our services agreement.
