Terms and conditions
The full text below is what counts. The orange boxes are a plain-English summary of each part, so you don't have to read the whole thing to know where you stand.
The short version
This is a summary to help you. The full text below is what counts.
- You own the sites you build and the code you download.
- Building and downloading is a one-off fee. Hosting is a monthly subscription, per site.
- You are responsible for what you publish and sell. We provide the software; we are not the seller.
- Card payments on hosted sites are handled by Stripe. We never hold your money and never see your bank details.
- The High Street lets you sell templates you've built, or buy one someone else made. Selling needs a developer or agency subscription; buying doesn't.
- We don't try to limit anything the law says we can't, like your statutory consumer rights.
1. About these terms
In short: These are the rules for using innitweb. They are a contract between you and us.
These terms are an agreement between you and innitweb, of 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX ("we", "us", "our"). They cover the innitweb website builder, the templates, the code you download, and, if you choose them, our hosting and payment services (together, the "Services").
By creating an account, paying us or using the Services, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services.
Some rights only apply to consumers (people using the Services for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession). Where we say "business user", we mean everyone else, including sole traders. Where we don't say, the term applies to both.
2. Your account
In short: Keep your details true and your password safe. You need to be 18 or over.
You must be at least 18 to hold an account. If you sign up for a business, you confirm you can bind that business to these terms.
- Give us accurate information and keep it up to date.
- Keep your login secret. You are responsible for what happens on your account, so tell us straight away if you think someone else has got in.
- One person, one account. Don't share accounts or create accounts to get around a suspension.
3. What we provide
In short: A builder and templates, a one-off code download, and (optionally) monthly hosting, a High Street stall, an agency account and payments for a site.
The Services come in these parts:
- Builder and templates. You can build and edit sites, and open any template, for free. Nothing is charged until you decide to download.
- Code download (one-off). You pay a one-off fee based on what your site contains, then download your site's code. It is yours to host anywhere. If you host it yourself, you set up any payment provider yourself: our downloaded code does not include one, and we have no involvement in payments on it.
- Hosting subscription (optional). We host a site for a monthly fee, per site. Payment features are only available on sites we host and only while the subscription is active.
- Developer account and the High Street (optional). For a monthly fee you can list sites you've built as templates for sale on the High Street, our marketplace. Anyone can buy a listed template without a subscription of their own.
- Agency account (optional). For a monthly fee your account can hold more sites at once than the free allowance, and can also sell templates on the High Street, in the same way and at the same fee as a developer account.
We take reasonable care in providing the Services, but they are software: they may have bugs and change over time. Except for what the law says we must promise, we provide the Services "as is" and don't promise they will be uninterrupted or error-free.
4. Prices, paying and refunds
In short: You see the price before you pay. One-off fees are for digital downloads, so the 14-day cancellation right ends once you download.
Prices are shown before payment. innitweb is not currently VAT-registered, so no VAT is added to these prices. Building and previewing are free. Blank websites cost £29 for one page, £59 for up to five pages, or £99 for up to fifteen; pages beyond fifteen are £4 each. On a site with a Blog page (the page marked as the Blog page, which Set up my blog does in the editor; or, where no page is marked, a page after the first and not itself a post that shows a list of the site's blog posts), up to 200 blog posts are included in the price and do not count as pages; a site without a Blog page pays for every page. Templates are priced as complete designs with their included page allowance shown and no blank-canvas fee added. Sections, elements, forms and motion are included. HTML and repeat downloads of purchased content are included. React and Vue are separate £10 per-site entitlements, granted only on confirmed payment. Ordinary editing within purchased rights is included; expanding page allowance, purchasing another template licence or another export format may cost extra. Hosting is optional and charged separately. Historical purchases and invoices are preserved.
All prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). If you pay with a card issued in another currency, your card issuer converts the amount at its own exchange rate and may add its own fees. Payments are taken by our payment provider, Stripe. Hosting subscriptions renew automatically each month until you cancel. If a payment fails we'll tell you and try again.
Right to cancel (consumers). Normally you have 14 days to cancel an online purchase. For the one-off download, you ask us to make it available immediately and, once you download, you lose the right to cancel because we've fully provided it. We ask you to confirm this before you pay. This doesn't affect your rights if the download is faulty: if it isn't of satisfactory quality, as described, or fit for purpose, you can ask us to fix or replace it or, if that doesn't work, for a refund or price reduction.
Hosting. You can cancel a hosting subscription at any time. It stays active until the end of the month you've paid for. We don't refund part months unless the law requires it.
We may change our prices. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before a hosting price changes, and you can cancel before it does.
Our refunds and cancellations page explains how refunds work in more detail.
5. Your content and our stuff
In short: Your content and the code you download are yours. Our platform and templates stay ours, with a licence for you to use them.
Your content. You keep all rights in the text, images and other material you put into the Services ("your content"). You give us a non-exclusive licence to store, copy, process and display it for the sole purpose of providing the Services to you (including hosting it and showing it to your visitors). You confirm you have the rights to do this.
The code you download. Once you've paid for a download, you can use, change, host and share that code for your own sites and your clients' sites without further charge.
Our stuff. We own the Services, including the builder, the templates' design and the software that generates your code. Templates are licensed to you for use in the sites you build. You must not resell or redistribute a template (or a lightly edited copy) as a template or as a competing product, or copy the builder itself.
Feedback you give us can be used by us freely.
6. What you must not do
In short: Nothing illegal, harmful or misleading. This list is not exhaustive: the test is whether it's lawful and fair.
You must not use the Services, and must not publish or sell through a site made with them, anything that:
- is illegal in the UK or where your visitors or customers are, or helps someone else break the law;
- infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy (including counterfeit or unlicensed goods);
- is defamatory, harassing, hateful, or promotes violence, or sexually exploits or endangers anyone, especially children;
- is fraudulent or misleading, including scams, phishing, pyramid schemes, "get rich quick" offers, or impersonating others;
- contains malware, or attacks or overloads our systems or anyone else's;
- involves gambling, adult content, weapons, illegal drugs, debt relief services, or anything else on Stripe's prohibited or restricted businesses list (stripe.com/legal/restricted-businesses), unless we've agreed in writing;
- breaks sanctions or export laws, or involves a person or place we're not allowed to deal with;
- needs a licence or regulation (for example financial, medical or legal services) which you don't have.
You must also not try to break, reverse-engineer or get around the Services or their limits, and must not use them to build a competing website builder.
7. Hosting
In short: We aim to keep your site up but can't promise it will never go down. Keep your own copy of your work.
We'll host your site while your subscription is active and you follow these terms. We aim for high availability but don't guarantee it: maintenance, problems at our infrastructure providers, attacks and events outside our control can interrupt a site.
- Back-ups. You're responsible for keeping your own copy of your site (you can download the code at any time you have paid for it). We may keep back-ups but don't promise to.
- Non-payment. If a hosting payment fails, your subscription is marked as past due and your site stays online while Stripe tries the payment again. If the subscription then ends without being paid, the 7-day period described under "Cancelling" applies.
- Cancelling. When a subscription ends, your site stays online for a further 7 days, then we take it offline and delete the hosted copy. Our daily clean-up can add up to a day. Ending hosting doesn't delete the site saved in your account, so you can subscribe again to put it back online, or download the code if you have paid for it.
- Domains and email. We don't provide these unless we tell you we do. Your domain name registration is between you and your registrar.
Reporting problem content. If you think a site we host is illegal or infringes your rights, email support@innitweb.com with the address of the page, what's wrong and why. We'll review it promptly, may remove or disable access straight away, and may pass information to the authorities where the law requires. We may close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
8. Taking payments on hosted sites
In short: If your hosted site takes payments, you are the seller. Stripe processes the money. We're the software, not the shop and not a bank.
If we offer payment features on a site we host, this section applies to you as well as the rest of these terms.
- You are the seller. You sell directly to your customers. You are the seller of record, and we are not a party to those sales. We don't sell, supply, deliver or stand behind your goods or services, we're not your agent, and we are not a bank, payment institution or money service.
- Stripe processes the payments. Payments are made through Stripe. To take payments you must create or connect a Stripe account through the setup we provide and accept Stripe's terms, including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. Stripe checks your identity and collects your bank details on its own pages. We never see or store your bank details, and we never hold your money. Payouts are made by Stripe to you.
- Fees. Stripe charges you its processing fees directly. We do not charge a fee of our own on payments you take on a site we host. If that changes we'll tell you at least 30 days before it applies.
- Only for active subscriptions. Payment features work only on a site with an active hosting subscription. If the subscription ends or lapses, or you breach these terms, we may switch off payments on your site straight away.
- Prohibited sales. You must follow section 6 and Stripe's prohibited and restricted businesses list. If Stripe restricts or closes your account, that is between you and Stripe, and we may switch payments off too.
You are responsible for everything to do with your sales, including describing what you sell honestly, showing prices, delivery, cancellation and refund information as consumer law requires, delivering what you sold, handling customer complaints, refunds and chargebacks (which come from your Stripe balance), and your own taxes (including VAT). We're not responsible for how Stripe treats payments, payouts, holds or disputes, or for delays or errors on Stripe's side.
9. The High Street: selling and buying templates
In short: A £9/mo developer account lets you sell templates you've built. Buying one needs no subscription. Listing a site for free means you give up downloading or hosting it yourself for free too.
The High Street is our marketplace for site templates. Anyone can browse and buy; selling needs a developer or agency account.
- Developer account. For £9/mo you can list one of your own sites as a template, set its price, and sell it. We take a platform fee of 10% of each sale (our founding rate), on top of your subscription. We'll tell you before we change this fee. The sale is paid to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect, and Stripe charges you its own processing fees directly. An agency account can sell in the same way, at the same fee. You're responsible for the template's content and price, in the same way you're responsible for a site you sell payments through (see the section on taking payments).
- Listing is free, but it isn't free ownership. A site can be listed only with what you have paid for on it: the pages, the React or Vue source and any first-party design it uses. If it contains more than that, pay for the rest from the site's review screen (or remove it) before listing. Listing does not change what you have bought for the site, and hosting stays optional and separate.
- Buying a template. When you buy one, it's copied into your own account straight away, ready to edit. It comes with the pages, source formats and first-party designs the seller had paid for on that site, and nothing more; anything else it contains (for example React or Vue source, or a design the seller had not paid for) is bought separately at the normal price when you want to download it. Hosting is optional and charged separately. You can't resell a template you've bought as your own new listing: buying it is a licence to use it, not to sell it on.
- We aren't the seller of a template you buy. The person who listed it is. We provide the marketplace and take our fee; Stripe Connect handles the money. If something's wrong with a template's underlying code, the same faulty-code promise in our refunds and cancellations page applies, because we generate that code either way.
10. Agency accounts
In short: A £29/mo subscription that raises how many sites your account can hold at once, and lets you sell on the High Street like a developer account.
An agency account is £29/mo and raises the number of sites your account may hold at the same time to 10, instead of the usual free allowance. It also lets you sell templates on the High Street in the same way as a developer account, at the same platform fee (see the High Street section). It doesn't change pricing or ownership. Cancel any time; your account reverts to the usual allowance when the subscription ends.
11. Your legal responsibilities for your site
In short: Your site is your business. Make sure it follows the law that applies to it.
You are responsible for making sure your site and what you do through it follow the law, including consumer protection, advertising, data protection and cookie rules, accessibility, intellectual property and tax. Templates and the generated code are starting points: they are not legal, tax or compliance advice, and we don't check that your finished site is lawful.
12. Personal data
In short: For your account we're responsible for your data. For your visitors' and customers' data on your site, you are, and we look after it for you.
Your account data. We use the personal data of account holders as set out in our Privacy Policy.
Your site's visitors and customers. For personal data collected through a site we host for you, you are the controller and we are your processor. We'll only process it on your instructions to provide the Services, keep it secure, use sub-processors (such as our infrastructure and payment providers) under written terms, help you respond to requests from individuals, tell you without undue delay if we become aware of a breach affecting it, and delete or return it when the Services end. You must have a lawful basis to collect it and must tell your visitors how you use it (for example in your own privacy policy).
13. Suspending or ending things
In short: You can leave whenever you like. We can suspend or close an account if there's a serious problem.
You can stop using the Services and close your account at any time. Cancel any subscription first, because closing an account doesn't cancel what you've already been charged for.
We can suspend or end your access (or any single site or feature, such as payments) straight away if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if we reasonably believe your use is illegal or harmful to others, if you don't pay, or if we're required to by law, a court, Stripe or another provider. Where it's reasonable and lawful, we'll tell you why and give you the chance to put things right first.
Ending doesn't affect rights that have already built up, or terms that are meant to continue (for example those about liability, ownership and the law that applies).
14. Our responsibility to you
In short: We're responsible for the things the law says we must be, and we don't exclude those. Beyond that, our liability is limited.
What we never limit. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit or exclude. If you're a consumer, you keep your legal rights, including that services are performed with reasonable care and skill and that digital content is of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.
Consumers. If we break these terms or are negligent, we're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result, but not for loss that wasn't foreseeable. You're not buying the Services for business use, so we're not responsible for lost profits, business or opportunity.
Business users. To the extent the law allows: (a) we're not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, goodwill or anticipated savings, for loss or corruption of data, or for any indirect or consequential loss; and (b) our total liability to you for everything arising out of or connected with the Services in any 12-month period, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the greater of £100 and the amount you paid us in that period.
Things outside our control. We're not responsible for your content, your sales, your customers, your domain or hosting arrangements elsewhere, or for failures of third-party services such as Stripe, payment networks, internet providers and domain registrars. We're not liable for delay or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control.
15. Your responsibility to us
In short: If you're a business and a third party claims against us because of your site or how you use the Services, you cover our costs.
If you're a business user, you'll cover our reasonable losses, costs and legal fees arising from a claim by a third party (including a customer, a regulator, Stripe or a card scheme) caused by your content, your sales, your breach of these terms or your breach of the law. We'll tell you about the claim promptly, and let you help defend it where that's reasonable, and we won't settle it without asking you if you'd be liable for the cost.
16. Changes
In short: We can update the Services and these terms. We'll give you notice of anything that matters.
We may change or improve the Services, and may stop offering a feature if we have a good reason. If a change significantly reduces what you're paying for, we'll tell you and you may be able to cancel and be refunded for what you paid for the time you no longer get.
We may update these terms, for example to reflect new laws, new features or how we operate. For any change that matters, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the product, and you can cancel before it takes effect. Changes we're required to make by law can take effect sooner.
17. Complaints and contacting us
In short: Tell us if something's wrong. We'll answer and try to put it right.
If you're unhappy with something, email support@innitweb.com. We'll acknowledge your message promptly and aim to send you a full response within 15 working days. Please include your account email and what happened.
We'll contact you by email at the address on your account, or in the product. Keep your details up to date.
18. Other important things
In short: The usual legal housekeeping.
- Whole agreement. These terms are the whole agreement between us about the Services and replace anything we said or agreed before. You aren't relying on anything that isn't written here.
- If part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
- If we don't enforce a right straight away, it doesn't mean we've given it up.
- You can't transfer your rights or duties under these terms without our written agreement. We may transfer ours to another company that takes over the Services, if that doesn't reduce your rights.
- No one else can enforce these terms. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 doesn't apply to them.
19. Which law and courts apply
In short: English law, with the courts of England and Wales. Consumers can also use their local courts.
These terms and any dispute about them are governed by the law of England and Wales. Business users agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you're a consumer, you can bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales or, if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of that country, and mandatory consumer protections in the country where you live still apply to you.
