A contract for building a website. Version dated 7 November 2026.
Individual Entrepreneur Kateryna Orikhivska, Lviv, Ukraine, trading as SKERRY. Email [email protected], phone +380 96 795 53 52. Single tax payer, group 3, not a VAT payer. The tax number and full address are stated in the Invoice and the Acceptance Act.
1.1. This is the Contractor’s offer to conclude a contract on the terms below (Articles 641 and 642 of the Civil Code of Ukraine). Whoever accepts it becomes the Client. The Client may be an individual, a sole proprietor or a company.
1.2. Prices, packages and the calculator on the site show the order of magnitude and are not an offer. The scope, price and deadline of a specific project are fixed by the Brief and the Invoice. Before the Invoice is issued, neither party owes the other anything.
1.3. The offer is accepted when the Client has approved the Brief in writing and paid the first part of the Invoice. The contract is concluded on the day the money reaches the Contractor’s account. No separate signature is needed for this.
1.4. If the parties have signed a separate contract, that contract applies, not this page.
1.5. The Contractor sends this version as a file together with the Invoice. New versions do not apply to contracts already concluded. If the Ukrainian and English versions differ, the Ukrainian one prevails.
1.6. “In writing” in this document means email or the messenger the parties agreed to use for the project, unless a clause requires a signature.
Builds the site according to the Brief and hands it over to the Client. The Client accepts the work and pays for it. Anything not in the Brief is paid for separately, by written agreement.
3.1. The price is stated in the Invoice. For clients in Ukraine it is in hryvnias at the National Bank of Ukraine rate on the Invoice date. For clients abroad it is in the currency named in the Invoice. No VAT is charged.
3.2. Payment comes in two parts: 50% before work starts, 50% within three banking days after the Client approves the demo version on a temporary address in writing, and before the site is handed over.
3.3. Payment is by bank transfer to the sole proprietor’s account only. Barter and set-off of counterclaims are not allowed.
3.4. The domain and hosting are registered in the Client’s accounts, and the Client pays the providers directly. They are not part of the price of the work.
3.5. The price changes only in writing and only together with the scope of work.
3.6. An audit of an existing site is paid separately. If the Client then orders development, the audit fee is credited to the Invoice.
4.1. The deadline is stated in the Brief in working days and runs from the later of two moments: receipt of the first payment or handover of the materials.
4.2. Waiting for a reply or materials from the Client stops the clock. Silence for more than 10 working days puts the project on pause, and resuming it is agreed separately.
4.3. Overtime caused by a delay on the Contractor’s side is not charged.
4.4. A rush deadline costs +30% of the total. The new date is fixed in writing. Stages that depend on the Client are not made faster by a rush fee.
The Client provides texts, photos, the logo and business details before the build starts. If something is missing, the Contractor uses placeholders and the clock stops for that time. The Client is responsible for the materials not infringing anyone’s rights.
6.1. Two revision rounds are included in the price. A round is one collected list of comments sent in one message.
6.2. Every further round is paid at the price list on the Invoice date.
6.3. The design is approved in writing on the mockup. Changing the concept after that is new work, not a revision.
7.1. The Client receives: the site on their own domain, the source files, access in their own accounts, a test enquiry sent in their presence, and short instructions on changing text, photos and the phone number.
7.2. The parties sign an Acceptance Act. The Client reviews it within 5 working days and signs it or sends written comments. If there are no comments within that time, the work is accepted.
8.1. For 30 days after handover the Contractor fixes, free of charge, whatever breaks within the agreed scope. Anything that blocks enquiries is fixed the same day, the rest within three working days.
8.2. A new block, a different structure or rewritten text is separate work at the price list.
8.3. The Contractor does not guarantee search rankings, the number of enquiries or sales, or the work of third-party services if they change their rules.
9.1. After full payment, the economic rights to the design, texts and code of the site pass to the Client in full. The transfer is recorded in the Acceptance Act signed by the parties. Until then the site stays on a temporary address.
9.2. The Contractor’s reusable work (components, build setup, editing panel) remains the Contractor’s. The Client receives a perpetual non-exclusive right to use it as part of the site.
9.3. The Contractor may show the work in a portfolio and places one line about the developer in the site footer. If the Client objects, this is recorded in writing: the site stays out of the portfolio and the line is removed free of charge.
9.4. The Contractor may use any software tools, including generation of code and content. Rights to such elements pass to the Client together with the rest of the site under clause 9.1.
10.1. The Contractor is responsible for matching the approved mockup, for the site working at the moment of handover, and for handing over all access.
10.2. The Contractor is not responsible for lost profit, the content of the Client’s materials, the work of third-party services, or changes made by other people after handover.
10.3. The Contractor’s liability is limited to the contract amount. This clause does not limit consumer rights that cannot be limited by law.
11.1. The Client stops the project before work starts: the prepayment is returned in full. After that: payment for the completed stage is not returned, and the work from that stage is handed to the Client.
11.2. The Contractor stops the project: the money for the unfinished part is returned. Reasons: repeated silence, demands outside the Brief without extra payment, a demand to do something illegal or misleading.
11.3. If a payment is more than 14 calendar days late, the Contractor may suspend work and publication.
During circumstances the parties cannot control, including martial law, air raid alerts and power cuts, deadlines are extended and there is no liability for the delay.
Enquiries are used only to answer the request; details are on the privacy page. The Contractor keeps access details in a password manager and deletes them after handover. For data on the Client’s site, the Client is the controller.
Disputes are settled by negotiation and, failing that, in court under the law of Ukraine.
Version dated 7 November 2026. New versions do not apply to contracts already concluded.
