  • You can cancel within 14 days of agreeing the contract, without giving a reason (C2).
  • We won’t start work in those 14 days unless you ask us to by ticking the early-start box (C3). If you then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point and we refund the rest within 14 days (C4).
  • Your statutory rights are not affected (C5).

  • Missed payments: after 14 days unpaid we may pause edits and support; after 30 days we may end the plan (10.7). Your site keeps running on your own accounts.
  • We give 30 days’ notice of any price or terms change, and you can cancel before it takes effect (10.8).
