Terms of Use

Introduction

These Terms of Use explain the rules for using this website (matthewalexanderdesign.com). By browsing or using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't continue to use the site.

These terms cover the website itself — not the services I provide as a designer and developer. If you become a client, the work I carry out for you is governed separately by my Website Design & Development Agreement (for a website build) and, where applicable, my Care Plan Terms (for ongoing support). Where there's ever a conflict between this page and a signed agreement, the signed agreement takes priority for that piece of work.

Who I Am

This website is owned and run by Matthew Alexander Design, a sole trader based in the UK. You can contact me at hello@matthewalexander.design

Using This Website

You're welcome to browse this website and get in touch through it. In return, please don't:

• Use the site in any way that's unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful
• Try to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server, or any connected system
• Introduce viruses, malicious code, or anything else designed to disrupt the site
• Scrape, copy, or harvest content from the site using automated tools
• Impersonate me, or misrepresent your connection to this business

I reserve the right to restrict access to this website for anyone who doesn't follow these terms.

Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, the content on this website — including text, page layouts, the Matthew Alexander Design name and wordmark, and my own photography and design work — belongs to me or is used with permission.

You're welcome to view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. Beyond that, please don't copy, reproduce, republish, or reuse content from this site without asking me first.

Screenshots or examples of completed client websites shown on this site remain the property of the relevant client. They're shown here as portfolio examples with the client's permission, as set out in my Website Design & Development Agreement.

Accuracy of Information

I do my best to keep this website accurate and up to date, but I can't guarantee that every detail — including prices, package contents, and page content — is current at all times. Prices shown are starting prices and are always confirmed as a fixed price in writing before any project begins; nothing on this website is itself a binding offer or quote.

Content on this site is provided for general information only, and isn't intended as professional, technical, or legal advice for your specific circumstances.

Links to Other Websites

This site sometimes links to other websites — for example, live client websites in my portfolio, or my social media pages. I'm not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites, and I'd encourage you to check their own terms and policies before using them.

Availability of This Website

I aim to keep this website available and running smoothly, but I can't guarantee it will always be accessible or fault-free — for example, it may occasionally be unavailable during maintenance or due to issues outside my control. I may also update, change, or remove content on this site at any time without notice.

Liability

This website, and the information on it, is provided on the basis that your use of it is at your own risk. I won't be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website, or your inability to use it, except where that loss is caused by my negligence or where the law doesn't allow liability to be limited (for example, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

This section relates to the website itself. If you become a client, my liability for the actual design and development work I carry out for you is set out separately in my Website Design & Development Agreement — where, as a genuine safeguard for you, I also hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Privacy & Cookies

How I collect and use personal data through this website is set out in my Privacy Policy, and how I use cookies is set out in my Cookie Policy. Both apply alongside these Terms of Use.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes relating to them will be dealt with in the courts of England and Wales.

Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms of Use from time to time — for example, if the website changes or new features are added. The "last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version. Continuing to use this website after an update means you accept the revised terms.
