Terms of Service

Last updated: {{LAST_UPDATED}} · Version {{TERMS_VERSION}}

DRAFT — NOT YET IN FORCE. This document is a working draft written alongside the site. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer, and the operator details are still placeholders. It must not be published or relied on until a qualified lawyer in the operator’s jurisdiction has reviewed it, and until every {{TOKEN}} below has been replaced.

These terms govern the website-build service offered at byfriday.co (“the Service”) by Oleksandr Mamieiev (“we”, “us”). By accepting a quote you agree to them.

1. What we do

We build a WordPress website from a design you supply. The scope of a given project is the set of sections and features recorded in the written quote we confirm — that quote, once accepted, is the definition of the work. Nothing shown on the site’s estimate calculator is itself an offer.

The estimate calculator produces a preliminary figure only.

We read your brief and confirm a fixed price in writing. That price is valid for 14 days.

Work begins after the fixed price is accepted and the brief is confirmed.

2. Timing

Our build window is at most five working days — one to three for a Landing project, two to four for a Multi-page project and three to five for a Corporate project — unless the confirmed quote says otherwise. The window is BUILD time and it starts at the next free build slot once the brief is confirmed and any required materials have been received — not on the day of payment and not on the day of enquiry.

The start date depends on the next free slot in our queue. We tell you that date before you accept.

The window pauses while we are waiting on you — for content, access, feedback or a decision — and resumes when the thing we were waiting for arrives.

3. What you give us, and what you promise about it

You supply the design, text, images, logos, fonts and any other material to be used in the site. You warrant that you own that material or are licensed to use it for this purpose, and that our use of it as instructed will not infringe anyone’s rights.

You agree to indemnify us against any third-party claim, and against the reasonable costs of defending one, that arises from material you supplied. This is the single clause most likely to matter in practice: we cannot verify the provenance of a font licence or a stock photograph, and we price the work on the assumption that we do not have to.

4. Acceptance

We deliver on a staging link. The site is accepted when either you confirm it, or 10 working days pass after delivery without you reporting a defect.

What counts as a defect

A defect is a difference between the delivered site and the confirmed brief: a section that is missing, a feature that does not work, or a visual difference from the supplied design beyond normal browser rendering variation.

What counts as a change request

A change request is anything that alters the confirmed brief: a new section, a different layout, revised copy, an added feature, or a change of mind about a choice already made. Change requests are quoted separately. We will always tell you which of the two we think something is, and why, before doing the work.

5. Revisions

Two consolidated rounds of revisions are included on Landing, Blog and Multi-page projects, three on Corporate. A round is one batch of comments on the staging link. Rounds are for defects and for the small adjustments any build needs; they are not an open-ended redesign, and unused rounds are not refundable or transferable.

6. Our commitment on matching the design

If the delivered site does not match the design you supplied, tell us within 14 days of handover and we will correct it at no cost.

If after that correction we still cannot match the design, you may request a refund of the fees paid for the affected project, and you keep the files delivered so far. This is the whole of the remedy: it does not extend to loss of profit, lost revenue or any other consequential loss.

The commitment covers matching the supplied design. It does not cover a change of mind about the design itself, differences caused by content you later add, or rendering differences between browsers and devices that are inherent to the web.

7. Payment

Fees are as stated in the confirmed quote. The full fee is payable before the build begins, and the slot is held once the payment clears. We do not raise an agreed price after acceptance; if a brief turns out to require more work than quoted, we say so and quote again BEFORE the work is agreed, and you are free to decline.

Prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated. By Friday is not registered for VAT and applies the Polish small-business exemption under article 113 of the Polish VAT Act, so invoices carry no VAT. An EU client who needs a VAT invoice gets one from the point of registration.

8. Right of withdrawal (consumers in the EU and the UK)

If you are a consumer resident in the EU or the UK, you normally have 14 days from the conclusion of the contract to withdraw from it without giving a reason.

Because our build window is shorter than that period, we ask at checkout whether you want us to start immediately. Two separate confirmations are required, neither of them pre-ticked:

that you request performance to begin during the withdrawal period; and

that you understand you lose the right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed.

If you withdraw after work has begun but before it is complete, you owe an amount proportionate to what has been performed up to that point. If you have not asked us to start early, nothing is charged.

How to withdraw

Tell us in an unambiguous statement — email to hello@byfriday.co is enough. You may use the model form below, but you do not have to. We will acknowledge receipt without delay and refund any amount due within 14 days, using the same means of payment you used.

Model withdrawal form

To Oleksandr Mamieiev, {{ADDRESS}}, hello@byfriday.co:

I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the supply of the following service: ______________________

Ordered on: ______________ Name of consumer: ______________

Address of consumer: ______________ Date: ______________

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited — including a consumer’s statutory rights, which these terms do not affect.

Subject to that, our total liability arising out of a project is limited to the fees paid for that project, and we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, or business interruption.

We are not liable for the content you publish on the site after handover, for third-party services you choose to connect, or for hosting you arrange yourself.

10. Force majeure

Neither party is in breach for a delay caused by something outside its reasonable control — including infrastructure or network failure, a serious illness, or an act of a public authority. Delivery dates extend by the length of the disruption. If the disruption lasts more than 30 days, either party may end the contract, and we refund fees paid for work not yet performed.

11. Handover and ownership

On full payment, the site files and content are yours. We hand over administrator access, and, where we arranged them, the hosting and domain credentials.

Our own plugins remain our property and are licensed to you for use on the delivered site.

12. What happens if a plugin licence is not renewed

The site keeps working. Our plugins do not phone home to decide whether to render, and they do not disable themselves, hide your content or add a notice to your visitors when a licence lapses.

What you lose is updates and support: no new versions, no security patches, and no help from us. Over time an unpatched plugin is a real risk, which is the honest reason to renew — not a switch we can flip.

13. Confidentiality

Each party keeps the other’s non-public information confidential. We may show the delivered work publicly only with your permission.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Poland. {{JURISDICTION_CLAUSE}}

A consumer in the EU can find an out-of-court dispute resolution body in their own country through the European Commission’s consumer redress portal at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu. {{ADR_STATEMENT}}

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version that applies to your project is the one in force when your quote was accepted; we keep previous versions available on request.
