Terms of service.

These terms cover the use of the morimake.com website and any work commissioned from MoriMake. They are written in plain English so clients can read them. If we sign a separate written contract for a specific project, that contract overrides anything you read here.

1. Who we are

2. Use of this website

You can read, link to, and share this site freely. Don't copy substantial portions of the design, code, or written content for use elsewhere without permission. The text and visual design on this site are © MoriMake.

3. Quotes and project agreements

Quotes given via email or the brief-builder are estimates based on the information you provide. They become binding only when both parties agree to a written project scope, sign-off, or contract. Until then, nothing here commits you to anything, and nothing here commits us to anything.

For each engaged project we will agree, in writing: - Scope (pages, features, integrations) - Timeline and milestones - Total fee and payment schedule - Number of revision rounds included - What happens if scope changes mid-project

Anything not listed in writing in the project agreement is out of scope. Scope changes after signing require a written change order, which may adjust both fee and timeline.

4. Payment and late payment

Payment is split across milestones agreed in writing in your project contract — typically an initial deposit before work begins, milestone payment(s) at agreed checkpoints, and a final payment on launch or delivery. Exact amounts and split are quoted per project.

Invoices are issued in EUR and payable within 14 days of issue. Late payments accrue statutory interest under Lithuanian law from the day after the due date. We may, on 7 days' written notice, suspend work on the project until all overdue invoices are paid. If an invoice remains unpaid for 30 days after the due date, we may treat the agreement as materially breached and terminate it under section 12.

5. Ownership, intellectual property, and client content

Once you have paid in full, you own the final delivered code, content, and design assets specific to your project. We retain the right to showcase the finished work in our portfolio and on this site, unless you ask us in writing not to.

Components, libraries, frameworks, and snippets that pre-date your project (or that we develop for general reuse) remain our property. You receive a perpetual, worldwide licence to use them as part of the delivered project.

Third-party software (e.g. open-source frameworks, npm packages, fonts, stock imagery) is governed by its own licences. We tell you which ones we used.

Client-supplied content. When you give us text, images, video, logos, brand assets, or any other content for use in your project, you confirm that you have the right to use it as supplied, and that it doesn't infringe any third-party right or break the law. You'll cover us against any claim or cost arising from a problem with content you supplied (see section 9).

6. Hosting and ongoing maintenance

If we host or maintain your site as an ongoing service, the following applies in addition to the project agreement: - Hosting is provided on a managed Node.js environment. Best-effort uptime, no formal SLA unless agreed in a separate document. - Maintenance retainers cover an agreed scope of monthly time. Anything outside that scope is billed separately at the rate quoted for your account. - Either side can end a hosting or maintenance arrangement with 30 days' written notice. On termination we will hand over a copy of your site, data, and credentials. - You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of any content, customer data, and credentials after handover. We are not liable for data loss caused by your hosting account, your third-party services, or your failure to back up.

7. Confidentiality

We treat anything you share about your business as confidential and only use it to do the work you hired us for. The same goes the other way — if we share commercial information about how we work, please don't pass it on. This obligation continues for 3 years after the project ends or these terms otherwise stop applying.

8. Data protection in client projects

The privacy policy at /privacy covers visitors to morimake.com. Where we process personal data on a client's behalf — for example, when handling form submissions for a site we built or maintain, or running a database that holds your customers' data — that processing is governed by a separate Data Processing Addendum (DPA) agreed with the client in writing, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

In that arrangement, the client is the Data Controller and we are the Data Processor. We process personal data only on the client's documented instructions, apply appropriate technical and organisational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, regular backups), and notify the client without undue delay (and within 48 hours) of becoming aware of any personal data breach affecting their data. Personal data is processed within the EU/EEA. Sub-processors we use (e.g. hosting, email delivery, analytics) are disclosed and may be objected to on reasonable grounds.

For projects with significant personal data exposure (user accounts, e-commerce, etc.) the DPA may be incorporated as a separate signed annex on top of the project agreement.

9. Indemnification

You indemnify us against any claim, demand, loss, or damage (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: - content, materials, or instructions you supplied that infringe a third-party right or break the law (see section 5); - your use of what we delivered in a way the project agreement didn't cover; - your failure to meet your obligations as Data Controller under applicable data-protection law.

We indemnify you (limited) against a third-party claim that what we delivered — excluding content you supplied — infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, up to the amount of fees you paid us for the affected work. This is your sole remedy for any such infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law:

• Cap on total liability. Our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with any project, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, is limited to the fees you have actually paid us for that project in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
• Excluded losses. Neither of us is liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses — including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated savings, or loss of data — however arising and whether or not such loss was foreseeable.
• Carve-outs. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable Lithuanian or EU consumer law. EU consumers retain all mandatory rights under the consumer-protection law of their country of residence.

11. Force majeure

Neither of us is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, including acts of war, civil unrest, natural disasters, epidemics, government action, large-scale infrastructure outages, or failures of third-party services on which performance depends. The affected party will notify the other promptly. Performance is suspended for the duration of the event. If the event continues for more than 60 consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected project under section 12, and you pay only for work actually completed.

12. Termination and survival

Either side can end an active project for any reason, with written notice. If you end a project mid-way, you pay for work done to date plus any non-recoverable costs. If we end a project without cause (very rare), we refund any portion of the deposit not yet earned.

Either side may also terminate immediately on written notice if the other materially breaches the agreement and does not remedy that breach within 14 days of being asked to do so in writing. Failure to pay an undisputed invoice within 30 days of its due date is a material breach.

Survival. Sections that protect either side from harm — Ownership and IP (5), Confidentiality (7), Data Protection (8), Indemnification (9), Limitation of Liability (10), and Governing Law (13) — continue in effect after the project ends or the agreement is terminated.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania. We will first try to resolve any dispute through good-faith conversation. If that fails within 45 days of written notice from one side to the other, either side may submit the dispute to mediation or to the competent courts of Lithuania.

For B2B clients across the EU, the choice of Lithuanian jurisdiction is enforceable under Brussels I bis Regulation (EU 1215/2012). EU consumers retain all rights granted to them under their local law.

14. Assignment

Neither side can transfer this agreement to a third party without the other's written consent. We may, however, transfer this agreement to a successor entity if we restructure the business (for example, by forming a Mažoji Bendrija to continue the same work) — we'll notify you in writing if this happens.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the business evolves. Material changes will be flagged on this page with a new "last updated" date. For projects already underway, the version of the terms in force at signing applies.
