Website Terms of Sale - Online Designer Services (B2B)
These Website Terms of Sale – Online Designer Services (B2B) are designed for professional designers selling online consultations and related digital content to business clients through a website.
They are broad enough for a range of design disciplines, including graphic, website, interior, 3D product, furniture, and fashion design. The template can be used where the client discusses a proposed design project with the designer online, where draft work is reviewed in later consultations, and where the final design can be delivered online for approval if it does not need to be embodied in 3D form.
The terms are intended to be used alongside a separate document governing use of the website itself. They apply only to services and content provided online as intangible content, not to in-person sessions or the supply of tangible items.
Suitable for consultations, supporting content, and project development
The main service covered by this template is a live two-way online consultation between the designer and the client. It also allows for pre-recorded material, downloadable background resources, and access to other online services relevant to the designer’s subject area or the client’s brief.
This makes the template suitable not only for initial discussions about a project, but also for reviewing draft work and sharing supporting materials as the design develops.
An attachment to the terms sets out the detail of what is actually provided or made available by the designer. That attachment can be adapted to reflect the designer’s services, workflow, and delivery model.
Covers a range of online session formats
The template is flexible enough to accommodate different ways of delivering design-related content online. It can be used for:
- live private one-to-one consultation sessions;
- pre-recorded information sessions that clients can access on demand; and
- live one-way information sessions on design topics.
It also provides for background information, text, and graphic materials to be made available for download without further charge after sessions have been purchased.
Platform, account, and subscription arrangements
The terms assume that sessions will be delivered using a cloud-based web conferencing platform such as Zoom, with most platform-specific provisions dealt with in the attachment. If another platform is used, the attachment can be adapted accordingly.
Clients must create an account before purchasing any session. They can then buy a subscription covering a single consultation, several consultations, or a package or series of live and/or pre-recorded sessions. The relevant sessions, dates, and access periods should be clearly stated on the website and confirmed in the client’s order details.
Business-to-business use and key contractual points
This template is for business clients only, not consumers. It can be used whether the designer is a sole trader contracting personally or a company or partnership engaging one or more designers to provide the service.
The terms guide the client through the online ordering process and cover contract formation, content availability and provision, pricing, payment, licensing, complaints, liability, data protection, and governing law and jurisdiction.
Because the template is used for the online sale of intangible content, the description of the paid content should be drafted carefully both in the terms and in the information given to the client before subscription.
