The terms for using this website, and for work commissioned from Kova.
Last updated:
By using kova-scaling.com you accept these terms. If you commission work from us, these terms apply alongside whatever we agree in writing for that project. Where the two conflict, the written project agreement wins.
This site describes what Kova does and shows examples of our work. Nothing on it is an offer capable of acceptance, a quote, or professional advice. A price becomes binding when we give it to you in writing for your specific project.
The builds under Work marked as demo builds are self-initiated. The businesses in them are invented, and the names, prices, opening hours, menus, listings and reviews shown are fictional and exist only to demonstrate how a real site of that kind would behave. They are not real businesses and must not be relied on. Work identified as a live client build is real, and is shown with that client's knowledge.
Booking a call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will confirm by email. If you need to cancel or move it, use the link in the confirmation email or reply to it. We may need to move an appointment occasionally, and will give you as much notice as we can.
Before a project starts we agree, in writing: what is being built, the fixed price, the timeline, and how many rounds of revisions are included. Work outside that scope is quoted separately before it is done, never invoiced as a surprise.
Projects depend on you supplying content within a reasonable time. That means text, photographs, logins and factual details. If the material does not arrive, the timeline moves. We will tell you when that happens rather than letting a deadline pass quietly.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the full fixed price is payable before work begins. We work to a three to five day turnaround, which only holds because the schedule is committed to your project for that week and cannot be resold if a project stalls partway through.
The price is the one quoted on the call. It does not change unless you ask for work outside what was agreed, and that is quoted separately and approved by you before it is done.
If we fail to deliver what was agreed, you get a refund of the amount paid for the part not delivered. If you change your mind before we start, you get a full refund. Once the build is underway the time has been spent, so a refund from that point covers whatever has not yet been built.
We build using AI tools alongside our own work. That is how a site is finished in days rather than weeks, and it is not hidden: it is described on our About page and in our privacy policy.
Three things follow from it, and they are worth stating plainly:
If you would rather we did not use them on your project, tell us before we start and we will agree a different arrangement and a longer timeline.
Once you have paid in full, you own the finished website: the source code, the design as applied to your project, and all the content you supplied. You own the domain and hosting account throughout, because they are registered in your name rather than ours.
We keep ownership of any general-purpose tooling, components and techniques we reuse across projects, and of the work until it is paid for. Unless you ask us not to, we may show the finished site in our portfolio and describe our role in it.
You are responsible for having the right to use everything you give us. If a photograph or a block of text you supply turns out to belong to someone else, the responsibility is yours rather than ours.
Do not attempt to break into it, overload it, scrape it wholesale, or submit the forms automatically. Do not copy the design or code of this site or the demo builds for your own commercial use.
We aim to keep this site available but do not guarantee it is uninterrupted or error-free. Once a finished site is on your hosting, its uptime is a matter between you and your host. Where a project relies on a third-party service such as a host, an email provider or a calendar, we are not responsible for that provider's failures, though we will help you sort them out.
Nothing here limits liability for anything that cannot legally be limited, including fraud, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Otherwise, and to the extent the law allows: we are not liable for lost profits, lost business, lost data or indirect losses; and our total liability for any project is limited to the amount you paid us for it. We provide this website "as is".
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Disputes go to the courts of Ontario. We would always rather resolve something by talking about it first, and in practice almost everything is a misunderstanding that a phone call fixes.
We may update these terms. The version published here when you commission a project is the version that applies to it.
