Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the Square Status website and any enquiries, quotations, or services we provide, unless a separate written agreement applies.

2. About Us

Square Status is a South African business providing website design, website support, WordPress services, technical setup assistance, business email setup, and related digital services for businesses.

3. Use of This Website

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others, interfere with the operation of the website, or attempt unauthorised access to any systems, data, or services.

4. Service Information

Information on this website is provided for general information purposes. Descriptions of services, packages, prices, turnaround times, and availability may change from time to time without prior notice.

5. Quotations and Proposals

Any quotation, estimate, or proposal provided by Square Status is subject to scope, availability, and confirmation. A quotation does not create a binding agreement until accepted by both parties and, where applicable, the required deposit or first payment has been received.

6. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for:

• Providing accurate information and content
• Responding to approvals, feedback, or requests within a reasonable time
• Ensuring they have the right to use any text, images, logos, or materials supplied to us
• Reviewing work and notifying us of required corrections or concerns promptly

7. Payments

Fees, deposits, recurring charges, and payment terms will be set out in the applicable quotation, package, invoice, or written agreement. Failure to pay on time may result in delayed work, suspension of services, or termination where allowed by law or agreement.

8. Recurring Services

Where you subscribe to a monthly or recurring service, the scope of included support will depend on the package selected. Work falling outside the agreed package scope may be quoted separately.

9. Suspension or Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate services where fees remain unpaid, where there is abuse of our services, where the working relationship breaks down, or where continued service is not reasonably possible. This does not limit any rights we may have under law or contract.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all intellectual property rights in pre-existing tools, methods, templates, source materials, and proprietary processes remain with Square Status or the relevant owner. Final deliverables may be subject to separate licensing, ownership, or usage terms as agreed with the client.

11. Third-Party Services

Our services may involve third-party providers or platforms such as hosting services, domain registrars, email providers, analytics tools, plugins, or payment providers. We are not responsible for outages, changes, pricing, or actions taken by third-party service providers.

12. No Guarantee of Specific Results

While we aim to provide high-quality work and useful support, we do not guarantee specific rankings, sales, enquiries, traffic levels, or business outcomes unless explicitly agreed in writing.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Square Status will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, including loss of profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill arising from use of this website or our services.
