Terms & Conditions

The Work

We (Using My Head Ltd) create websites using Squarespace, a subscription-based web application that provides integrated website hosting, content management tools, and design tools that are accessed through a web browser.  We don’t work for Squarespace, and the subscription to the Squarespace service will be your responsibility, meaning you will be liable to pay the subscription fee and accept their Terms of Service in order to have your website hosted on their platform.

We will use the Squarespace tools to adapt a Squarespace template to make your overall website appearance and individual page layouts match your aesthetic wishes as closely as possible. We’ll use the Squarespace tools to provide the interactive functionality on your site, too. We don’t have the ability to alter the core functionality of the Squarespace platform, so the website we create for you will be constrained by the  functions provided by Squarespace.  We can expand the capabilities of your website by incorporating other web applications, if those applications are compatible with the Squarespace platform. If we use a third party application for your website, the accounts will be set up by you (or on your behalf by us), and you will be liable to accept the terms and conditions and pay any associated costs for using any such service.

Since your website will be built on the Squarespace platform, your core website will be functional in any of the browsers supported by Squarespace. However, should we incorporate any third party applications, these applications may have different levels of browser support, which you can find on those third party websites or by contacting them directly.

Although most of the design work is conducted within the Squarespace interface and not by writing code, in some cases, we may apply CSS , HTML and/or JavaScript code to further adapt the Squarespace template to meet your wishes.  If we do this, we promise to use the latest standards for these languages, and to test any such custom coding on the main browsers on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.

Since browser technology and web applications change over time, we can make no guarantee that embedded third party applications or custom code will continue to operate in the desired way at any time after we conclude this project. In the unlikely event that Squarespace, the third party, or web browser technology changes in such a way that this breaks your website, we can provide an estimate for fixing it at that time.

The work is also subject to the following General Terms & Conditions:
