Terms of service

Plain-language terms

Last updated: September 22, 2026. Short version: fixed quote before I start, 50% deposit to book, you own everything once the balance clears.

Who I am

Northline Web Studio, based in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Contact: northlinewebstudio7@gmail.com or 416-771-6007.

Quotes

Nothing starts until you've approved a fixed written quote. Quotes are honoured for 30 days. If the scope changes mid-project, I quote the change plainly before doing it — no surprise invoices.

Deposits and payment

Fixed quote before I start. 50% to book, 50% at launch. You own everything once the balance clears.

Cancellations

Cancel any time by email. Before work starts: full refund of anything paid. After work starts: the deposit is kept and you owe nothing further.

Revisions

One full revision round is included with every website project. Further rounds are quoted plainly before I start them — you'll never be billed for revisions you didn't approve.

Timelines

Timelines on the services page are honest estimates: one-page sites typically live within 5 business days of kickoff; five-page sites take 1–2 weeks. Late content or feedback moves the timeline by the same amount; bigger builds get a timeline in the written quote.

Free mockup

The free homepage mockup is exactly that — free, with no obligation. You only continue if you like what you see.

Ownership

You own your website, content, and domain 100% once the final balance clears. I may show finished work in my portfolio unless you ask me not to.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version goes on this page with a new "last updated" date. Significant changes will be noted here in plain language. Work already quoted stays under the terms you approved.
