These terms explain what you get, what we ask of you, and how things work when you order a website or hosting from us. No surprises — that's the whole point of Portawebia.
These terms apply to the services Portawebia ("we", "us") provides to you ("the client"). By placing an order or accepting a proposal, you agree to these terms. We may update them from time to time; if a change is material, we'll give existing clients reasonable notice before it takes effect. The version in force for your project is the one accepted when you ordered.
We design and build custom websites — hand-coded, WordPress, or Shopify — and offer optional ongoing hosting and care plans. The exact scope, platform, number of pages, and price for your project are agreed in your order or proposal. We aim to launch full websites in about two weeks after approval, though timelines depend on how quickly you provide content and feedback.
Our demo homepage is genuinely free and comes with no obligation to buy. You pay nothing and give no deposit to receive it. Until you order and pay for a full website, the demo and its underlying files remain our property and are provided for preview only — you may not publish, copy, or reuse them.
To build a great site we need your input. You agree to provide accurate business information, any text, images, or logos you want used, and timely feedback. You confirm you own or are licensed to use any material you give us, and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights. Excessive delays or scope changes beyond what was agreed may affect timelines and price.
Once your website is fully paid for, ownership of the final delivered site transfers to you, along with the right to use it for your business. Third-party components (fonts, plugins, stock assets, platforms) remain under their own licences. We may include your finished project in our portfolio and marketing unless you ask us in writing not to.
Optional hosting and care plans are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time; service continues until the end of the paid period. We work to keep sites online and secure but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, as some factors (third-party platforms, domains, networks) are outside our control.
Where your site uses third-party services — such as WordPress, Shopify, domain registrars, payment providers, or hosting — your use of those services is also subject to their own terms. We're not responsible for changes, outages, or fees imposed by those providers.
We provide our services with reasonable skill and care. Beyond that, services and third-party components are provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as lost revenue or business interruption), and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the relevant service in the preceding 12 months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You may cancel an ongoing plan at any time as described above. We may suspend or end a service if an invoice stays unpaid or if these terms are materially breached. Any fees already due at termination remain payable.
We handle personal data in line with data-protection law. How we collect and use data is explained in our Privacy Policy. Where we process personal data on your behalf (for example data collected through your website), you remain the controller of that data and are responsible for handling it lawfully; we act on your instructions and keep it confidential.
These terms are governed by Finnish law. We'll always try to resolve any disagreement through direct discussion first; if that isn't possible, disputes are handled by the competent Finnish courts. Questions about these terms are welcome any time.
