The legal stuff — clear, fair and simple.

These Terms set out how Claw Labs provides services. By working with us or using this website, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who we are

Claw Labs is a web design, development and digital services studio based in the UK. We build websites, web applications, branding, AI tools and media for clients.

2. Definitions

“We”, “us” and “Claw Labs” refer to the studio. “You” refers to the client or user of our website or services. “Services” refers to any work we provide, including web design, development, branding, media, AI tools or support.

3. Working together

We aim to work clearly and collaboratively. Before work begins, we will provide a written outline, proposal or message that confirms:

  • The scope of work
  • The price and payment terms
  • A rough timeline
  • Any specific requirements or content you must provide

4. Project scope and changes

Your project includes only the items agreed in writing. If you request additional features, pages, integrations or changes outside the agreed scope, we will provide a revised quote or add-on fee.

5. Payments & deposits

  • Most projects require a deposit, usually 30–50%, before work begins.
  • The remaining balance is due on completion or milestone stages.
  • Invoices must be paid within the timeframe shown, typically 7–14 days.
  • Late payments may result in paused work until payment is received.

6. Cancellation & refunds

You may cancel a project at any time by contacting us in writing. The following terms apply:

If you are a private individual acting as a consumer, you have a 14-day statutory right to cancel from the date of agreeing to the contract, unless:

  • You request that work begins immediately, and
  • You acknowledge that the right to cancel will be waived once the service is fully delivered.

If you cancel after work has begun, you must pay for the work completed up to the date of cancellation.

7. Starting work early

If you ask us to begin work before the 14-day cooling-off period ends, you agree that:

  • You waive the right to cancel once the service is fully delivered.
  • You will pay for any work completed if you cancel early.

8. Timeline & delays
