Terms of Service

Last updated: 30 June 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms govern the web design, hosting, and related services provided by Aposlo Studios Ltd, registered in England and Wales (Kidderminster). By engaging our services you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the services.

2. Services Overview

We provide custom website design, web hosting, domain registration, website maintenance, and optional search engine optimisation (SEO), primarily on a monthly subscription basis, for UK small businesses and tradespeople.

3. Subscription Plans & Pricing

Monthly plans:

  • Starter — £24.99/month: custom design, UK hosting, SSL, domain, updates, support.
  • Professional — £34.99/month: adds priority support, advanced features, blog, Analytics, reports.
  • Growth — £49.99/month: adds SEO, Google Business Profile management, keyword strategy, ranking reports.

Domain renewal is £14.99/year. Any one-off build, design, or setup fee (see Section 4) is agreed in writing before work begins. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' written notice.

4. Website Build & Build Fees

We build your website as part of your engagement with us. Depending on the project's scope and complexity, the build may be included within your subscription or carried out for an agreed one-off fee, quoted and confirmed in writing before work starts. Website builds and continued hosting require an active subscription unless otherwise agreed in writing. Typical turnaround is around 5 working days, varying with complexity and how promptly feedback and content are provided.

5. Payment Terms

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance on your anniversary date. One-off build/setup fees are invoiced as agreed. If payment is not received within 14 days of the due date, we reserve the right to suspend your website until the balance is cleared.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel anytime by emailing hello@aposlostudios.com. There are no cancellation fees or penalties, and no minimum contract period. Your website remains live until the end of the current billing period.

Keeping your website:If you cancel but wish to keep your website, you may purchase it outright for a one-off fee of £600. On receipt of this fee, ownership of your website's design and build files transfers to you (see Section 7), we provide you with the files and reasonable migration assistance, and you are free to host it wherever you choose. If you do not take up the buyout, the website is taken offline at the end of the billing period. Any domain we registered on your behalf transfers to you either way.

7. Website Ownership & Intellectual Property

Underlying code, frameworks, and design systems remain the intellectual property of Aposlo Studios Ltd and are licensed to you for the duration of your subscription (not transferred). Ownership of a specific website's design and build files transfers to you only where (a) you purchase the website outright under a separate written agreement, or (b) you take the £600 buyout option on cancellation (Section 6) — in each case, on full payment. Our underlying reusable tools, frameworks, and code libraries always remain ours.

Any content you provide — text, images, logos, and branding materials — remains your property at all times. Domains we register on your behalf belong to you and transfer to you on cancellation. We may reference and display completed work in our portfolio and marketing unless you ask us in writing not to.

8. Updates & Maintenance

All plans include ongoing updates and maintenance — text changes, image replacements, minor layout adjustments, and general upkeep. Significant redesigns or new functionality may incur additional charges, agreed in advance.

9. Hosting & Uptime

We provide UK hosting with a 99.9% uptime target. We are not liable for downtime caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including server failures, third-party outages, natural disasters, cyberattacks, or scheduled maintenance.
