21. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach involving Your personal information, We will notify You as soon as practicable, and in any case within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in compliance with applicable data protection laws such as the GDPR.

From time to time, We may offer certain features or Services on a beta or trial basis ("Beta Services"). Beta Services are provided "as-is" and without warranties of any kind. Your use of Beta Services is entirely at Your own risk.
23. EAA Compliance
From 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires many websites to meet recognised accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG 2.1 AA). Businesses defined as micro-enterprises, fewer than 10 employees and annual turnover or balance sheet total not exceeding €2 million, are currently exempt from these requirements.
It is Your responsibility to accurately confirm whether Your organisation qualifies as a micro-enterprise. Where Your business does not meet both criteria, accessibility compliance will need to be factored into Your website project, and associated fees may be adjusted to reflect additional requirements.
By engaging Us for a website project, You confirm the accuracy of the information You provide regarding Your business size and exemption status under the EAA. We accept no responsibility for non-compliance where inaccurate or incomplete information has been supplied. If Your business does not qualify as a micro-enterprise and Your website does not meet required accessibility standards, You may be subject to legal penalties, including fines or enforced takedown of the website.
We reserve the right to refuse, delay, or revise a project if accessibility compliance is legally required and not agreed during scoping. Unless We are contracted for ongoing website maintenance, We are not responsible for maintaining compliance with current or future accessibility legislation after project completion.
We do not provide legal advice. It is Your responsibility to seek appropriate legal guidance to determine Your obligations under the EAA or any other applicable legislation.
