​

2. Services & Deliverables

  • We provide website design, branding, social media kit, ongoing care, and other agreed-upon services.

  • Either party may cancel with 30 days’ written notice after the minimum period.

  • On cancellation, we’ll transfer necessary assets and client will be responsible for Wix and domain renewal.

​

  • MCS may showcase work in portfolio and marketing materials unless otherwise agreed.

​

  • MCS isn’t responsible for delays caused by events outside our control (e.g., power outages, internet failures, pandemics).

​

12. Governing Law & Disputes

  • Terms are governed by South African law.

  • Any disputes will first be attempted to resolve through mediation before escalating to formal legal channels.

​
