Terms and conditions
Last updated 6 November 2026
About these terms
These terms apply when you use this website and when you hire Alist to design, build or look after a website. Alist is run by Anja van Staden, a sole proprietor in Stellenbosch, South Africa. In these terms, "I" and "me" mean Anja van Staden trading as Alist, and "you" means you or your business.
Your written quote may include extra terms for your project. If it differs from these terms, the quote applies. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
Using this website
The information on this site is general. Prices like "from R5 000" are starting points, and your final price is the one in your written quote. The design, text and images on this site belong to me or are used with permission, so please don't copy them without asking.
Quotes
After our first call, I'll send you a written quote with what's included, the price and a rough timeline. Quotes are valid for 30 days. Anything that isn't in the quote, like extra pages or features, is quoted separately before I start on it.
Payment
- A 50% deposit is due before I start, and it secures your spot in my schedule.
- The remaining 50% is due before your site goes live.
- Invoices are payable within 7 days by EFT.
- Care plans are billed monthly in advance.
What I need from you
To keep your project on track, I'll need your content, like your logo, photos and text, and your feedback within a reasonable time. If content or feedback is delayed, the launch date moves with it. If a project is paused for more than 60 days because I'm waiting on you, I may close it and invoice for the work done so far.
Changes and revisions
Your quote says how many rounds of changes are included. Changes beyond that, or new work after you've approved the design, are quoted before I do them.
Your content
You're responsible for the content you give me and confirm you have the right to use it, including photos, logos and text. I'm not responsible for the accuracy of your content or any claims it makes.
Ownership
Once you've paid in full, you own your website's design, your content and your domain. If you ever want to move on, I'll hand everything over. Fonts, plugins and stock images stay under their own licences, which I'll make sure cover your use. I may show your site in my portfolio and on this website unless you ask me not to.
Hosting and care plans
If you're on a care plan, I'll look after your hosting, security updates and small changes as described in your quote. You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Your site relies on third-party services like hosting providers and domain registrars, and while I'll do my best to sort out any problems quickly, I can't be responsible for their outages.
Cancelling a project
You can cancel a project at any time by letting me know in writing. The deposit covers the time I've reserved for you and the work I've done so far. If I've done more work than the deposit covers, I'll invoice for the difference. If I have to cancel, I'll refund any money you've paid for work I haven't done.
Liability
I build every site with care and test it before launch. As far as the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect losses, like lost income or business, and my total liability for a project is limited to what you've paid me for it.
Privacy
How I handle your personal information is explained in my privacy policy.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa.
Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page when you accept your quote is the one that applies to your project.
