All The Legal Stuff

I provide all website design services and content on this website with a commitment to inclusivity. As such, by using this website you agree and understand that the Services provided herein shall be provided in a manner that supports inclusivity, and additionally agree(s) to undertake best efforts to act and use this website accordingly. You will not expressly or implicitly degrade any gender, sexual orientation, or religion (an “Offensive Act”). If an offensive act occurs (in the form of either acts or speech), your comments will be removed without warning and any communication with me whether in comments, forms, emails, or other methods, will cease.

Choosing who I work with 1:1

I do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, disability, age or genetic information (including family medical history). Doing so is considered unacceptable and unkind behavior that will not be tolerated.

The decision to work with (or not work with) any of my clients is based solely on whether I feel I am the best designer for their specific website-related design and technical needs, as well as whether I feel we are a good personality match (to create the best environment for positive & effective teamwork throughout the project).

Please read both these Terms, my Terms of Use, and my Privacy Policy carefully, which is incorporated into these Terms. By using any or all of the Sites, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. I may modify these Terms from time to time, and any modifications will be effective immediately when I post them. All changes I make will be reflected in the date at the top of the document. You are responsible for reviewing any modified terms. Your purchase of any product or services that are available through this Site means you accept and agree to any changes. For your convenience and future reference, the date of the most recent revision of these Terms is listed above so that you may compare different versions to determine what, if any, changes have been made.

I. Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept any orders in our sole discretion. After having received your order, we will send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. Acceptance of your order and the formation of the contract of sale between Access Designs LLC and you will not take place unless and until you have received your order confirmation e-mail.

II. Prices and Payment Terms.

A. All prices posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for the product or service you purchase will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation e-mail. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Listed prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. You will have notice of all such taxes and charges by reviewing your merchandise total in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation e-mail. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.

Any decision regarding whether or not to replace a lost item is within our sole discretion, upon timely notice.

Refunds are processed within approximately 10 business days of our receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site.
