Terms — the one-page version
We promised plain English everywhere, including here. These terms cover the £79 a month subscription and the free homepage preview. [Draft, review before launch.]
Who we are
Kent.design is a trading name of Palmer Marketing Ltd, registered in England and Wales in 2014, company number 09051345, registered office 20a Albion Road, Broadstairs, Kent CT10 2UP.
The service
We design, build and manage brochure websites on a monthly subscription of £79 per month plus VAT, with nothing to pay upfront. The subscription includes design, build, copywriting, UK hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups, ongoing maintenance, booking-system integration, and setting up a domain and business email if you need them.
Small edits are unlimited within fair use and we aim to make them the same day. A small edit means text, image and minor layout changes. It does not mean new features, additional pages beyond the agreed site or a redesign.
Work outside the subscription
Larger builds, including e-commerce and custom platforms, are not covered by the subscription. Where you want work of that kind, we will quote for it upfront in writing before any of it starts.
The free homepage preview
The homepage preview is free and carries no obligation. No payment or card details are required to request one. Preview designs remain our property unless you become a client.
The 12-month minimum
Because there is nothing to pay upfront, the subscription has a 12-month minimum term, and the first twelve monthly payments pay for the design and build of your website. After that it continues month to month, covering hosting, maintenance and edits, and you can cancel at any time, giving us 30 days' notice.
Ownership
Your domain, your content, your images and your reviews are yours, always, and your domain is registered in your name. Ownership of the website design and build passes to you once the first twelve monthly payments have been made. Until then it remains the property of Kent.design.
Leaving
Cancel after the minimum term and we'll hand over the website, its files, your domain and your content, and help you move it to a new host. We'll be helpful about it, because the no-hostage promise is a promise.
If you want to leave during the minimum term, pay the remaining months of the twelve and ownership of the website passes to you, handed over the same way. There is no separate exit fee.
Payments
Monthly by Direct Debit. If payment fails and isn't resolved within 14 days, the site may be suspended until it's brought up to date.
The boring-but-necessary
