Terms and conditions

1. Who I am and what these terms cover

Ing. Vit Hofman, a self employed professional registered in the Czech trade register, company ID 020 65 681, VAT ID CZ8602215072, place of business tr. Tomase Bati 332, 765 02 Otrokovice, Czech Republic. Contact: info@rovnoukveci.cz, +420 730 732 751. I am registered for VAT.

These terms cover websites, web applications, their operation and related work ordered from me. Anything we expressly agree otherwise takes precedence over them.

2. How an agreement comes about

The quotation I send you by link is a calculation, not a binding offer. You can select the scope in it and submit an order.

By submitting the order you express your will to order the work in the stated scope and price. The contract itself comes about only when I confirm the order, which I do within two working days. Until then neither of us is bound.

After you submit an order you receive an email recapitulating what you ordered, including prices and scope. That email is the confirmation of the agreed content in textual form.

A quotation is valid until the date stated in it. After that date I may recalculate the prices.

3. Price and payment

Prices in the price list on this site exclude VAT. I am registered for VAT and 21 % is added. For consumers I always state the final price including tax as well, at the latest in the quotation.

Prices on the site are indicative and give you the order of magnitude. What binds is the price in the quotation you receive, which already reflects your specific brief.

The price is paid in two or more milestones depending on scope, usually a deposit at the start and the balance on handover. The exact split is always in the quotation.

Invoices are due in 14 days unless we agree otherwise. On late payment I am entitled to statutory default interest and to suspend work until payment.

Work beyond the ordered scope is charged at the hourly rate stated in the quotation. Before I start it I give you an estimate and wait for your approval. Without approval I do nothing extra.

4. What I need from you

The work is a joint effort. I need materials from you (copy, photos, access credentials, company details), answers to questions, and approval of proposals within a reasonable time.

You are responsible for the content you supply, including having the right to use it. Someone else's photo or text pulled off the internet is your problem, not mine, and if I spot it I will refuse to use it.

If your input is delayed, the handover date moves by the same amount. I am no happier about it than you are, but there is no way around it.

5. Deadlines

The handover date is in the quotation and runs from payment of the deposit and delivery of materials, not from submission of the order.

If I miss the date for reasons on my side, we agree a replacement one. If the delay exceeds a month and is not caused by your input, you may withdraw from the contract and I will refund everything you paid beyond work already done.

6. Handover and defects

I hand the work over on a test address where you go through it. Comments that fall within the ordered scope are fixed with no extra charge.

After launch you get a month of free content edits and small adjustments. These are not new features, but changes to copy, photos, labels and similar.

I warrant the functionality of the work for 24 months from handover. A defect is not a wish for the work to do something that was not in the ordered scope, nor a fault caused by your intervention or that of a third party.

Report a defect to info@rovnoukveci.cz. I reply within two working days and we agree a fix window based on severity. A defect that stops the site working takes priority.

The promise of a PageSpeed score above 90 on mobile and desktop applies to the work as I handed it over, measured with PageSpeed Insights, without third party scripts and without content added later. If the score is not reached, I keep tuning the work at my own cost until it is.

7. Rights to the work

On payment of the price you own the work including source code, data and the domain. There are no licence fees, no rental, and no lock in to me as a supplier.

Third party software the work uses (databases, libraries) carries its own licences. All of them are free and open and none restricts your use of the work.

I reserve the right to present the work as a reference if you give me your consent. Without consent I use neither your name, logo nor screenshots, and if you later withdraw consent I take the reference down.

8. Hosting and retainer

Operation (server, backups, certificate, updates) is a separate monthly service. It is not compulsory and you may run the work anywhere else.

The retainer runs for an indefinite period with one month notice for both sides. On termination I hand over data and configuration so you can move elsewhere.

The retainer does not cover development of new features, content creation, or repairing the consequences of someone else's intervention in the work.

9. If you are a consumer

You are a consumer if you order outside your business activity. In that case this article applies to you in addition.

You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of its conclusion, without giving a reason and without penalty. Writing to info@rovnoukveci.cz is enough. You may use the model withdrawal form, but you do not have to.

If you want me to start work before those 14 days elapse, you must expressly request it, which is done by ticking a box on the order. By doing so you acknowledge that once the service is fully provided the right of withdrawal ceases, and that if you withdraw while it is being provided you pay me a proportionate part of the price for the work already done.

Without that express request I start work only after the withdrawal period has passed.

You may complain to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority, www.coi.cz, which also handles out of court resolution of consumer disputes at adr.coi.cz.

10. Liability

I am liable for damage caused by breaching my obligations, up to the price of the work. I am not liable for lost profit or indirect damage.

I am not liable for outages of third party services (domain registrar, server provider, payment gateway), nor for how many enquiries the site brings you: that depends on your field, your competition, and whether the site stays alive after launch.

11. Finally

The relationship is governed by Czech law. Disputes are settled by agreement first; failing that, by the competent court of the Czech Republic.

I may change these terms. For a contract already concluded, the wording in force on the day I confirmed the order always applies.
