Terms & Conditions

Last updated June 2026

1. This site

This site markets the makers.studio platform. Submitting the "Map your flow" form, or the guide's optional "email me a copy," is an expression of interest and does not create a binding contract — we follow up with a quote and timeline before any work or payment happens.

2. Ownership promise

For any platform build, the domain and hosting are registered in the maker's own name. The once-off build fee and the monthly service fee are billed separately, and the monthly fee is cancellable at any time without affecting the maker's ownership of the site, domain, or data.

3. Becoming a customer & billing

If you accept a quote, we'll set up a customer record and invoice you for the once-off build fee and the first month's service. Invoices are in South African Rand. Payment is currently arranged manually (e.g. bank transfer or a payment link); recurring monthly billing via PayFast is planned for the future — when live, your card details are handled entirely by PayFast and never stored on our servers. The once-off build fee is non-refundable once work has begun. The monthly fee is cancellable at any time; if it lapses unpaid, we may pause the monthly service (support, updates, hosting upkeep) without affecting your ownership of the domain, site, or underlying data per the Ownership Promise above.

4. Email communications

By submitting the guide capture, the contact form, or "Map your flow," you agree we may email you about that request — including a short follow-up if you started but didn't finish. Every such email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

5. "Try the admin" sandbox

The sandbox demo is provided for evaluation only. It is not connected to any real payment, shipping, or social media account, automatically resets, and may be cleared at any time without notice.

6. Acceptable use

Please don't submit false or misleading information through our forms, attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site or sandbox, or scrape the site for competitive use without our permission.

7. Content & intellectual property

The content of this marketing site (copy, design, and Journal posts) belongs to makers.studio. This doesn't apply to the separate site we build for you once you're a customer — that's covered by your build agreement, not these terms.

8. No warranty & liability

This site and the "try the admin" sandbox are provided as-is, without guarantee of uninterrupted availability. To the extent permitted by law, our liability arising from your use of this marketing site is limited to direct damages, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential loss. This clause does not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

10. Changes to these terms

If these terms change, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
