The information on this site is for general guidance only. If you decide to work with Algarve WebCraft, the final details of services, pricing, timelines, and ownership will be agreed upon in writing via email or invoice. We may update or modify our services at any time without notice. We reserve the right to decline any project at our discretion.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on this site—including code, text, images, and branding—is the intellectual property of Algarve WebCraft unless stated otherwise. You may not reuse or reproduce anything without our written consent.

5. Hosting and Third-Party Services

This site is hosted by Netlify, which may automatically apply technical cookies or log general usage data for hosting and performance. Algarve WebCraft does not access, store, or use this data.

We aim to reply to all messages within 24 hours. No communication takes place directly through the website (e.g., no forms, logins, or comments).

7. Pricing and Payments

We offer both one-time payment options and ongoing monthly packages for our services.

  • One-time payments grant you ownership of your site upon full payment. Hosting can be arranged through us for an additional fee or handled by you independently.
  • Monthly packages include ongoing hosting, support, updates, and small changes. The monthly rate is locked in for the duration of your ongoing plan. If you cancel and return in the future, current pricing will apply at that time.

Once full payment has been made, ownership terms will be clearly outlined in your client agreement or invoice.

8. Cancellation and File Ownership

  • If you are on a monthly package and cancel, your access to the website files and hosting ends. Files are not transferred unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • If you paid once-off, you may host and manage the files yourself and do as you please with them.

We do not issue refunds for services already rendered or for work that has begun.
