Bytenot

Terms and Conditions

Effective date: [Effective date]

These are the terms for using bytenot.com. They're deliberately short. The important stuff — what we'll build for you, what it costs, who owns it — lives in the proposal and contract we agree with each client, not here.

1. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to anyone who visits or uses bytenot.com (the "site"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

If you become a client, your engagement is governed by the proposal, statement of work or contract we sign with you. Where that document and these terms disagree, that document wins.

2. About us

The site is operated by [Company legal name], trading as Bytenot.

  • Registered address: [Registered address]
  • Company / registration number: [Company number, if any]
  • Email: [hello@bytenot.com]

3. The site

The site exists to tell you what we do and to let you get in touch. It's for information only. Nothing on it is professional advice, and nothing on it is an offer that you can accept to create a contract.

We try to keep the site accurate and available, but we may change, suspend or remove any part of it at any time without notice. We don't promise it will always be online or error-free.

4. Our services

We build websites and digital products, custom software, and AI and automation tools. Descriptions of our services on the site are general. Each engagement is scoped, priced and agreed separately in writing.

Sending an enquiry, or receiving a reply from us, doesn't create a contract or oblige either of us to anything. A contract exists only when we've both signed a proposal, statement of work or agreement.

Any figures on the site (including the budget ranges in our enquiry form) are for orientation only and aren't quotes.

5. Your enquiry

When you use the enquiry form, please give us accurate contact details and a brief you're comfortable sharing. Don't include anything confidential, or anyone else's personal data, until we've agreed how it will be handled — an NDA, for example. We treat everything you send us with care, but the form isn't a secure channel for secrets.

How we handle the personal data in your enquiry is explained in our Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual property

The site is ours. The text, design, code, images, logo and the Bytenot name are owned by [Company legal name] or our licensors and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own reference, and you may link to us. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, republish or commercially exploit any part of the site without our written permission.

Client work is governed by contract. Who owns the software, designs and other deliverables we create for a client is set out in that client's contract, not in these terms. Unless a contract says otherwise, we keep the right to reuse general know-how, techniques, and any tools or components we developed independently. Case studies or examples of client work shown on the site are shown with permission and remain the property of the client or its licensors.

Open source. Where our work incorporates open-source software, that software remains under its own licence.

7. Acceptable use

Please don't:

  • use the site for anything unlawful
  • try to gain unauthorised access to the site, its hosting, or any connected system
  • introduce viruses, malware or anything else harmful
  • scrape, crawl or harvest content or data from the site beyond what a normal search engine does
  • use the enquiry form to send spam, marketing, abuse or automated submissions
  • use the site in any way that could damage it or interfere with anyone else's use of it

We may block access to the site, and report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities, if you break these rules.

8. Third-party links and social media

The site links to our profiles on Instagram (instagram.com/bytenot) and LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/bytenot), and may link to other sites and services. Those are run by other people. We don't control them, we're not responsible for their content or practices, and linking to them isn't an endorsement. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.

9. No warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises about it — including that it will be accurate, complete, up to date, uninterrupted, secure or free of errors or viruses. You use the site at your own risk.

This section covers the website only. Warranties for services we provide to clients are set out in the relevant contract.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site, or from your reliance on anything on it. That includes indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data, and business interruption — whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if we were told it was possible.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that can't be limited or excluded by law — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Liability for services provided to clients is dealt with in the client contract, not here.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect through the site and how we use it. It forms part of these terms.

12. Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the site, are governed by the laws of [Country/jurisdiction]. The courts of [Country/jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you're a consumer you may also be able to bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always on this page with its effective date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.

14. General

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term straight away, we haven't waived our right to enforce it later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about your use of the site.
