Terms & Conditions

Last updated: May 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By submitting an enquiry, approving a website design, or subscribing to the VIV-Z hosting service ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all clients ("you", "your") who engage VIV-Z for website design, hosting, or any associated services.

2. Description of Service

VIV-Z is a website design and hosting service for small businesses. The Service consists of two distinct parts:

  • Website design and build: We design and build a custom website based on your brief and style preferences. This is provided free of charge — you do not pay anything until you have reviewed a live preview and chosen to proceed.
  • Hosting subscription: A recurring monthly subscription that keeps your website live. This includes global CDN hosting, SSL certificate, custom domain connection, and access to the client booking portal.

3. The Free Build

We will design and build your website at no cost. Once complete, we will share a live preview for your review. You may request revisions before committing to any payment. You only subscribe if you are satisfied with the result.

The free build does not create any obligation to subscribe. However, the website design and all associated work remains the intellectual property of VIV-Z until a hosting subscription is active (see Section 8).

4. Hosting Subscription

The hosting subscription is billed monthly and begins when you confirm you wish to go live. Your subscription includes:

  • Global CDN hosting and sub-second load times
  • SSL certificate
  • Custom domain connection
  • Client booking portal (no additional charge)
  • Ongoing site maintenance and uptime monitoring

You may cancel at any time. Upon cancellation, your website will be taken offline at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months already billed.

5. Payments and Billing

Payments are processed securely via Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. Your subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled.

We reserve the right to update our pricing. Where pricing changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before the new rate applies to your subscription.

6. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate business information and content for your website
  • Ensuring all content you supply (text, images, logos) does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights
  • Complying with all laws applicable to your business and the content published on your website
  • Any domain registration costs outside of our Service

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Publish unlawful, defamatory, or fraudulent content
  • Infringe the intellectual property rights of others
  • Distribute malware or engage in phishing
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations

We reserve the right to remove content or suspend your website without notice if we reasonably believe it violates these provisions.

8. Intellectual Property

Upon activation of an active hosting subscription, you are granted a non-exclusive licence to use the website design we have created for you for as long as your subscription remains active.

If your subscription is cancelled or never activated, the website design, code, and all associated assets remain the exclusive property of VIV-Z. You may not reproduce, copy, or repurpose any part of the design without prior written consent.

Content you supply (text, images, logos) remains your property at all times.

9. Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VIV-Z shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunity, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Service shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to VIV-Z in the three months preceding the claim.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we take all reasonable steps to maintain uptime, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

11. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time by emailing hello@viv-z.com. Your website will remain online until the end of the current billing period.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Service immediately if you breach these Terms or if continued provision of the Service would expose us to legal or reputational risk.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
