Terms

What you get, and what I ask.

The terms every project here runs on, in plain language. Written out so that nothing in them is a surprise after you have paid a deposit.

Who you are contracting with

NovaFaber is a one-person studio operated by Giannis Papadopoulos from Thessaloniki, Greece. There is no agency behind it and no subcontracted team: the person who answers your email is the person who writes the code.

These terms apply to design, development and marketing work commissioned through this site or by direct agreement. They are written in plain language on purpose. If anything here is unclear, ask before you pay anything — that is what the first call is for.

Price, and when it is fixed

Every project is quoted to its actual scope. After the first call you receive a written scope document listing everything that will be built and one fixed price against it, with most projects starting from €200. That number does not change unless the scope changes, and the scope only changes with your written approval.

If you ask for something outside the agreed scope mid-project, you get a price for that addition before it is built — never an invoice for it afterwards.

Projects run on a 50/50 split: half on signing the scope document, half on launch. Nothing starts before the first payment clears, and the site goes live when the second does. For projects over €10,000 the balance can be staged across agreed milestones instead — ask, and it goes in the scope document.

What you own at the end

The code, the domain and every third-party account created for the project are registered in your name and handed over at launch. You are not renting your own website, and you do not need this studio to keep it running.

Anything you supply — text, images, logos, product data — stays yours throughout. Anything built specifically for you becomes yours on final payment.

The studio keeps the right to show the finished work in its portfolio and to describe how it was built, unless you ask in writing that it stays private. If a project is under embargo before launch, it is not shown until you say so.

What you need to provide

Content is the usual reason a project slips: text, images, product information and access to whatever already exists. Delivery dates in the scope document assume that material arrives when agreed, and shift by the same amount if it does not.

You confirm you have the right to use anything you send. The studio cannot check the licensing of images or text you supply, and does not take responsibility for material it did not source.

Revisions

Design is reviewed and revised before production code is written — that is the point of showing you clickable screens first. Revisions inside the agreed direction are part of the price.

Two rounds of revisions are included at the design stage, which is where changes are cheap. Starting again on a new direction after a design has been signed off is new work, and is quoted before anything is built — never invoiced afterwards.

If either of us wants to stop

You can end a project at any point in writing. You pay for the work completed to that date, and you receive everything produced so far — files, code, and any accounts already in your name. Nothing is held hostage.

The studio may end a project if agreed material does not arrive, if payment is overdue, or if the work turns out to be something it should not have taken on. The same applies in reverse: completed work is handed over and only completed work is charged for.

What is not promised

No search ranking, traffic level, conversion rate or revenue figure is promised, by this studio or by anyone honest. What is promised is that the work is built to do the job described in the scope document, and that it is measured rather than guessed at.

Third-party services a project depends on — hosting, payment providers, mail delivery, analytics — are run by other companies under their own terms. The studio configures them properly and is not liable for their outages.

Liability for any project is limited to the amount paid for that project.

After launch

Sites are handed over working. Faults in the delivered work are fixed at no cost — that is not support, it is finishing the job.

Ongoing changes, new features and maintenance after handover are separate work, quoted separately or covered by a care plan if you have one.

Law, and changes to these terms

These terms are governed by the law of Greece, and any dispute is dealt with in the courts of Thessaloniki.

If these terms change, the version that applies to your project is the one in force when you approved its scope document. Changes here do not reach backwards into work already agreed.

Questions

Anything here you want changed for your project, say so before the scope document is signed and it can be. Write to contact@novafaber.com, or read what the site collects if that is what you were looking for.

These terms are not legal advice and have not been reviewed by a lawyer. They describe how this studio works. For a contract covering something larger or more unusual than a website, get your own advice.
