Terms

Service provider

The service provider is the individual identified in the “Legal information” section at the top of this page, trading as MÓTA Vefstofa. MÓTA Vefstofa is a trading name and not a separate legal person. The legal name, kennitala, business address and contact details are shown there.

About these terms

These terms apply to use of the MÓTA website and to the general information, indicative pricing and enquiry options shown on it. They are not a standalone project agreement. The scope, price, timeframe, delivery and other final terms of each project are confirmed in a written proposal or agreement before work begins.

Price information

• All prices are in Icelandic krónur unless clearly stated otherwise.
• Package prices assume the scope described. Additions or changes to scope may change the price and timeframe, but are not carried out until confirmed in writing.
• An estimator or price range shown on the site is an estimate and not a binding quote.
• Launch pricing applies only to projects specifically accepted by MÓTA. The conditions, including any portfolio permission, are stated clearly in the written proposal.
• The business is currently not registered for VAT. VAT is therefore not added to the listed prices or invoices. If the VAT status changes, the prices and terms will be updated accordingly.

An enquiry is not an order

An enquiry submitted through the website is a request for contact or project assessment. It is not a binding order and creates no payment obligation. A project becomes binding when both parties accept a written proposal or agreement, or through another clear method described in it.

Project changes

Work requested outside the accepted scope is assessed separately. MÓTA explains the effect on price and timing and obtains written confirmation before additional work begins.

Payments

Payment is normally split into a 40% deposit before work begins and 60% after final approval, before the site is published and the agreed accounts are handed over. Exact amounts, due dates, refund conditions and consequences of delay are stated in the written proposal or agreement for each project.

Cancellation, project suspension and treatment of the deposit are governed by the written project terms and mandatory law. Nothing in these website terms limits a consumer’s statutory rights.

Client content and cooperation

The client is responsible for providing the necessary information, feedback and approvals within the agreed time. Delays in content or responses may affect delivery. The client warrants that they are entitled to use the text, images, logos and other material they supply.

Ownership, licences and handover

After full payment, the client receives the rights and administrative access specifically identified in the project proposal. Custom material created by MÓTA for the project is handed over as described there. MÓTA’s pre-existing tools, general components, methods and know-how do not automatically transfer to the client.

Third-party software, fonts, images, plugins and other material remain subject to their own licence terms and are transferable only to the extent those licences permit.

Third-party costs

Domain fees, hosting, subscriptions, licences, payment services and other third-party charges are included only where the written proposal clearly says so. Otherwise the client pays them directly to the relevant provider. MÓTA identifies known recurring costs before the project is accepted.

Portfolio

MÓTA does not publish a project, client name, brand or non-public information in its portfolio without written permission. For a launch-price project, such permission may be a condition of the offer, but it is then stated clearly and accepted in the project proposal.

Confidentiality

MÓTA treats non-public information received in connection with an enquiry or project as confidential and uses it only for the project, unless the law requires otherwise or the client agrees otherwise.

Use of this website

The website content is provided for general information. MÓTA aims to keep it accurate and current, but the website itself is not professional advice, a warranty or a guarantee of a particular outcome. Third-party links and services are governed by their providers’ terms.

Liability

Liability for an individual project is governed by the written project agreement and applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including statutory consumer rights.

Law, consumer rights and language

MÓTA operates in Iceland and these website terms are governed by Icelandic law. Where the client is a consumer, the choice of law does not remove any mandatory protection available under applicable consumer law. Jurisdiction is determined by applicable law and the written project agreement.

These terms are published in more than one language to aid understanding. If the translations are inconsistent, the Icelandic text is the reference version, without limiting the client’s statutory rights.
