3. Intellectual property
All content on this site (text, images, design, code, logos and other materials) is owned by COZQ Limited or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and print one copy for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, modify, distribute or use our content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

Part B – Terms of business (services)
These terms apply when you engage COZQ Limited to provide web design, development, hosting, maintenance or related services (“Services”). COZQ Limited is a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16592649, VAT number 519163195) with its registered office at 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU. Specific projects may be governed by a separate proposal or statement of work; in the event of conflict, the proposal or statement of work prevails for that project.
We maintain professional indemnity and public liability insurance appropriate to the Services we provide. Certificate details are available on request.
6. Quotations and acceptance
Quotations and estimates are valid for the period stated (or 30 days if not stated). A contract is formed when you accept our quote in writing (including email) or by paying a deposit or otherwise proceeding as agreed. You are responsible for ensuring that your requirements and any brand/source materials you provide are accurate and complete.
7. Fees and payment
Fees are as set out in our quotation or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed, we may require a deposit before starting work. Invoices are due within the period stated (typically 14 or 30 days). We reserve the right to charge interest on late payments and to suspend work until payment is received. All prices are in GBP and exclude VAT unless stated.
8. Your obligations
You agree to provide content, access (e.g. to existing sites or hosting), feedback and approvals in a timely way. Delays caused by your failure to do so may affect timelines and we are not liable for resulting delay. You confirm that any materials you provide (text, images, logos) do not infringe third-party rights and that you have permission for us to use them for the project.
9. Intellectual property in deliverables
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, once we have received full payment for the work, we assign to you the intellectual property in the specific deliverables we create for your project (e.g. custom design and code for your site). We retain the right to use general skills, know-how and non-custom code, and to display the project in our portfolio unless you request otherwise in writing. Pre-existing materials and third-party assets remain with their owners.
10. Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other’s confidential information (including business and technical information) confidential and use it only for the purpose of the project, except where disclosure is required by law or the information is already public.
11. Limitation of liability
We will perform the Services with reasonable skill and care. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with a project or these terms shall not exceed the fees you have paid to us for the relevant project in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue or data, or for any failure due to your actions, third-party services (e.g. hosting) or force majeure. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
12. Termination and cancellation
Either party may terminate a project in writing if the other materially breaches and fails to remedy within a reasonable time. We may terminate if you fail to pay or to provide required materials or access. On termination, you pay for all work done and costs incurred up to the termination date. Cancellation by you after work has started may incur a cancellation fee as set out in our quotation or as reasonably incurred.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, save that we may bring proceedings in your country of residence.
