Terms

These terms apply when you enquire about, review, or buy work from Store Lantern, Torenlaan 5, 1402 AT Bussum, The Netherlands, KvK 88291308, hello@storelantern.com (“we”, “us”). They are aimed at businesses, not consumers. If anything in an individual offer or invoice differs from this page, the offer or invoice prevails for that project.

What we offer

We design and build websites for local businesses, usually starting with a one-page preview. Typical packages are a one-page site, a site of three to five pages, and an optional monthly Care plan. Starting prices are shown on the website in US dollars and are not a binding quote. A price is only agreed once we confirm it to you in writing.

The preview is a proposal

A preview is a proposal so you can see a possible website before you pay. You may look at it, share the private link with people in your business, and ask for reasonable adjustments we agree to make. A preview is not a live website, is not an assignment of rights, and does not mean we will keep it online indefinitely if you do not go ahead. Please do not present a preview as your official live site.

You do not pay us for the chance to look at a preview we have offered. If you do not accept an offer, you may walk away. We may then take the preview down.

Accepting work and payment

A project starts when you accept our written offer and, unless we agree otherwise, when the agreed payment is received. We usually put a site live on your domain only after payment of the design fee. Care is billed monthly in advance if you choose it. You may cancel Care with 30 days’ written notice; hosting then ends at the close of that notice unless we agree a handover.

Prices are stated in US dollars. Any applicable taxes are shown on the invoice. Domain registration fees charged by a registrar are separate unless an offer says otherwise.

Your materials

You warrant that you have the right to give us the names, text, logos, photographs and other materials you send, and that their use on the site will not infringe someone else’s rights. You remain responsible for the accuracy of prices, hours, allergen or licensing information, and other claims about your business.

What you own, and what we keep

After the agreed project fee is paid in full, you receive the rights you need to use the finished website for your own business, including the page files we delivered for that site. Until payment, all rights in the preview and unused work stay with us. We keep the right to reuse general methods, layouts and code patterns that are not unique to your brand. We will not use your name or preview as a public example unless you agree.

Care, hosting and changes

If you take the Care plan, we host the site, provide SSL, keep an eye on uptime, and make small text or photo edits. Larger changes, new pages, or redesigns are quoted separately. We aim for a reliable site but we cannot promise unbroken uptime or a particular search ranking, number of customers, or amount of revenue.

Our responsibility

We provide the work with reasonable care and skill for a small studio. We are not liable for lost profits, lost data, or other indirect or consequential loss, except where the law of the Netherlands does not allow that limit (including for intent or gross negligence). Our total liability for a project is limited to the fees you paid us for that project in the twelve months before the claim, except where such a limit is not permitted by law.

Law

These terms, and any agreement they form part of, are governed by the law of the Netherlands. Dutch courts have jurisdiction, without limiting any mandatory protection that may apply to you. If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
