Our standard terms and conditions are designed to ensure the smooth running of the project and to be in the interest of both parties. Please find specific details on our project terms below. Darlweb is the trading name for DARLWEB (SMLLC).
- Darlweb shall expect the client to carry out sufficient research before proceeding with a website. This will include ensuring that the website or business will operate legally.

- Darlweb will only commence work on a project after receipt of a non refundable deposit of the quoted project fee from the client.
- The final/remaining payment is to be made on completion of the website. The website will be switched to Live Mode once the clients remaining balance is paid in full.
- The deposit is non-refundable and should you wish to cancel at any point during the process you shall remain liable for the work that has taken place and shall be invoiced accordingly.
- The final payment should be paid to Darlweb within 7 days of the final work being completed. Payments that are 28 days late or more from the first final payment request will incur interest penalties at the rate of 5% above the UK Bank of England or Bank of Morocco base rate of interest.

- Darlweb will predominantly use open source technologies and has the right to use 3rd party plug-ins or expertise if required on any aspect of the project.
- During the development of this project we will ask you to sign off various stages of the project. Failure to sign off any stage within 7 working days of issue will be deemed that you are happy to continue to the next stage and the project and will be treated as if that stage has been signed off.
- Once a stage has been signed off all work within that stage will be considered final and fully approved by you. Any further change to work that has been signed off may require additional charges.
