Terms of Service

WpLense reserves the right to change the Terms and Conditions at any time without notice, and your continued use of WpLense constitutes your consent to such changes. The column on the right provides a clearer, plain English overview of the terms of service, and is not legally binding.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. WpLense will provide an ongoing set of online services including website design, copy and editorial development, search engine optimization and website updates as described on the signup page for each specific service.

This means… We’ll provide the relevant service to you based on your subscription to our services.

2. LIMITATIONS OF SCOPE. WpLense will not be responsible for work that is beyond the scope of services set forth in the subscription plan in effect at the time Client initiates the service. Any changes to the scope of services will not be effective unless approved by both parties.

This means… We can only provide the services which you’ve subscribed to with us, and can’t be responsible for anything which is out of our control.

3. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY. WpLense will provide certain tools, methods and resources to Client that are intended to help Client grow and build its business. However, Client is fully and exclusively responsible for its own business performance and Client satisfaction. In addition, Client has full and exclusive responsibility for understanding and ensuring compliance with any regulatory, legal or contractual obligations related to Client’s business, including without limitation, data held by Client and its Clients, information provided by Client to Clients and/or other third parties and any safeguarding and security measures that may be required. WpLense may participate in implementing needed systems services and functions, but Client is solely responsible for the final outcomes, actions taken and results produced.

This means… We’ll provide various solutions to help you grow, but we can’t do everything ourselves – you’re responsible for your own business and its success, as well as any legal or regulatory requirements.
