Bowery Studio is not required to keep making repeated changes beyond the included revision round without a separate fixed quote.

Bowery is not responsible for domain loss caused by missed renewals, failed payment methods, incorrect client details or registrar issues outside Bowery’s control.
17. Email
Bowery Studio may assist with business email setup, but email services are normally third-party services. The client is responsible for email account use, passwords, storage, billing and compliance unless agreed otherwise.

Complete and Growth have a 6-month minimum term. After the minimum term, they continue monthly unless cancelled with 30 days’ written notice. Monthly payments already paid are generally non-refundable.
23. Project delays
If the client delays a project by failing to provide content, access, feedback or approval, Bowery Studio may pause the project. If a project is paused for more than 30 days due to client delay, Bowery may reschedule work and charge a fixed restart/update fee if additional work is required.
24. Portfolio use
Bowery Studio may display completed work in its portfolio, case studies, proposals, social media and marketing unless the client requests otherwise in writing before launch.
25. Liability
Bowery Studio is not liable for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill or loss of data. Bowery Studio’s total liability is limited to the amount paid by the client for the relevant project or services giving rise to the claim. Nothing limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
26. Force majeure
Bowery Studio is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events outside reasonable control, including internet outages, platform outages, illness, supplier issues, extreme weather, war, cyber incidents, government action or similar events.
