Last updated: 14 April 2026

These terms apply to all websites built, hosted, and managed through ownsite.co.uk ("we", "us", "the service"), operated by Lee James Apps.

1. What we provide

ownsite.co.uk builds and hosts websites for small businesses and individuals. Depending on your plan, this includes a one-page site, a full managed site with admin panel, or a fully custom build. All plans include SSL, hosting on our servers, and a free subdomain (yourname.ownsite.co.uk).

2. Acceptable use

Your site must be for a legitimate business or personal project. You may not use our service for:

We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend, or permanently remove any site that violates these terms — without refund. If you're unsure whether your business qualifies, email us first and we'll let you know.

3. Pricing and payment

One-Page Sites: £99 for the first year, then £49/year. Billed annually via Stripe.

Full Managed Sites: £249 for the first year, then £99/year. Billed annually via Stripe.

Fully Custom Sites: Quoted per project. Payment terms agreed individually.

All prices include VAT where applicable. Payments are processed securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details.

4. 14-day money-back guarantee

If you're not happy with the service, you can request a full refund within 14 days of your initial payment. No questions asked. After 14 days, payments are non-refundable but you can cancel your subscription at any time.

5. Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your site stays live until the end of the period you've already paid for. After that, the site is taken offline but your data is kept for 60 days in case you want to reactivate. After 60 days, data may be permanently deleted.

6. Your content

You own the content you provide (text, images, logos). By uploading content to our service, you grant us permission to host and display it on your website. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to use any content you upload.

We do not claim ownership of your content. If you cancel, you can request a copy of your site files.

7. Our content and intellectual property

The website templates, admin panels, code, and platform are our intellectual property. Your subscription gives you a licence to use them for the duration of your plan. You may not copy, redistribute, or resell the platform or its code.

8. Custom domains

We can connect a custom domain (e.g. yourbusiness.co.uk) to your site at no extra charge. You are responsible for purchasing and maintaining the domain with a registrar of your choice. We are not responsible for domain renewals, DNS issues, or disputes with your registrar.

9. Availability and uptime

We aim to keep your site online 24/7 but cannot guarantee 100% uptime. Occasional maintenance, server updates, or unforeseen issues may cause brief downtime. We are not liable for any losses resulting from downtime.

10. Liability

We build and host websites. We are not responsible for the content you publish, the accuracy of information on your site, or any business decisions made based on your website. Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months prior to any claim.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll email you if anything significant changes. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
