Clear Rules.Clear Expectations.BetterBusiness.
These Terms of Use explain general rules for using the Matthew Web public website and how website information, project inquiries, pricing, content, and external technology should be understood.
The Important Parts Up Front
These terms are designed to explain the public website without pretending that one webpage can replace the specific agreement needed for an actual customer project.
Public Website Terms
These terms primarily govern use of the Matthew Web public website and the general information presented through it.
Project Terms Are Separate
A website page, contact form, starting price, or service description does not replace the specific written agreement or scope established for a customer project.
No Guaranteed Results
Search rankings, indexing, traffic, sales, approvals, revenue, platform decisions, and similar outcomes depend on factors outside Matthew Web's direct control.
Third-Party Technology
Websites and software may depend on hosting providers, domains, APIs, payment processors, databases, email systems, search engines, or other outside platforms.
Responsible Use
Visitors may not intentionally attack, interfere with, abuse, overload, misuse, or attempt unauthorized access to Matthew Web systems.
Legal Review Will Continue
These website terms can be refined as Matthew Web's business, technology, products, and lawyer-reviewed agreements develop.
General Terms
These Terms of Use apply to the public Matthew Web website and general information made available through it.
By using the public website, visitors agree to use it for lawful and legitimate purposes and not intentionally interfere with Matthew Web systems, infrastructure, users, or business operations.
These Terms of Use are not intended to replace a specific customer agreement, statement of work, invoice, proposal, license, payment arrangement, or other written document governing a particular project.
Website Information
Matthew Web works to keep public website information useful and reasonably current. However, services, pricing, technologies, project status, examples, development plans, policies, and other information may change over time.
Information presented on the public website should not be interpreted as a guaranteed quote, guaranteed result, guaranteed timeline, guaranteed availability, or promise that a particular feature or future project will be completed.
Services & Project Information
Matthew Web may provide services including website development, redesign, maintenance, domain and deployment assistance, forms, payment integrations, analytics, indexing support, search-related technical work, added website functionality, ongoing support, and custom software.
Not every service is appropriate for every project. Actual deliverables depend on the customer's needs, technical requirements, available resources, chosen services, and established project scope.
Internal projects, research, prototypes, games, educational technology, CPU work, FPGA development, future hardware, and other research material should not automatically be interpreted as commercially available products unless Matthew Web specifically identifies them as available for purchase or customer use.
Estimates, Pricing & Payments
Prices displayed on the website may represent standard pricing, starting points, or examples for qualifying project scopes. A larger or more complex project may require a custom quote.
Pricing can vary based on factors such as page count, custom functionality, software development, integrations, content requirements, technical complexity, support, timeline, and other project requirements.
Deposits, milestone payments, final payments, subscriptions, cancellation terms, ownership transfer, revision limits, and other payment conditions should be defined through the applicable project arrangement rather than assumed from general website information.
Customer Responsibilities
Successful projects often depend on cooperation between Matthew Web and the customer. Customers may be responsible for providing information, approvals, content, access, feedback, or other materials necessary to complete the agreed work.
- Provide accurate business and contact information
- Provide materials and content the customer owns or has permission to use
- Provide necessary account or domain access when required for approved work
- Review project information and requested changes in a reasonable manner
- Identify important requirements before work progresses beyond the agreed scope
- Follow applicable payment and project terms established for the specific engagement
Delays in receiving required information, access, approvals, content, or payment may affect project timing.
SEO, Indexing, Traffic & External Results
Matthew Web may provide technical help involving website structure, metadata, Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, sitemaps, indexing, internal linking, performance, analytics, and related search improvements.
Search engines, advertising platforms, social platforms, marketplaces, payment providers, hosting companies, and other third parties make their own decisions and may change their policies, algorithms, pricing, approval criteria, or technical systems.
Matthew Web therefore does not promise a particular search ranking, indexing date, advertising approval, traffic level, number of leads, conversion rate, sales volume, revenue result, or other external platform outcome unless a separate written agreement explicitly says otherwise.
Third-Party Services
Matthew Web websites and projects may depend on outside providers for domains, hosting, databases, analytics, email, APIs, authentication, payment processing, search tools, development infrastructure, advertising, or other technology.
Third-party providers operate under their own terms, policies, systems, pricing, and availability. Matthew Web cannot directly control third-party outages, account restrictions, policy changes, discontinuation, security incidents, billing changes, or technical decisions.
Intellectual Property & Content
Unless otherwise stated, Matthew Web website text, branding, design elements, original graphics, original code, project descriptions, documentation, and other original materials may be protected by applicable intellectual-property law.
Visitors may view the website for normal informational and business purposes but should not represent Matthew Web materials as their own or use them in a misleading, fraudulent, or unlawful manner.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that content they provide for use in a project, including images, logos, text, videos, fonts, music, data, and other materials, may legally be used for the intended purpose.
Ownership, licensing, transfer, reusable code, customer-specific work, source files, internal tools, and other intellectual-property matters for paid projects should be governed by the applicable written project agreement.
Acceptable Website Use
Visitors may use the public Matthew Web website for normal informational, educational, business, and communication purposes.
Visitors may not intentionally use the website or connected systems in a way designed to harm Matthew Web, other users, customers, infrastructure, or third-party systems.
- Submit intentionally false, fraudulent, abusive, threatening, or spam information
- Attempt unauthorized access to private, administrative, account, database, API, or infrastructure areas
- Introduce malware, malicious code, destructive scripts, or harmful automated activity
- Intentionally overload, disrupt, damage, or interfere with website operation
- Use Matthew Web content to impersonate Matthew Web or mislead other people
- Circumvent security, authentication, access restrictions, rate limits, or technical protections
- Use the website in violation of applicable law or another person's rights
Website Availability
Matthew Web aims to maintain a functional and useful website, but continuous availability cannot be guaranteed.
Maintenance, hosting problems, internet failures, software bugs, security incidents, provider outages, upgrades, configuration changes, or other technical events may temporarily affect website availability or functionality.
General Limitations
The public Matthew Web website is provided for general information, communication, and business purposes.
Matthew Web does not represent that every page will always be error-free, uninterrupted, complete, current, or suitable for every visitor's individual circumstances.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Matthew Web does not assume responsibility for losses caused solely by a visitor's reliance on general public website information, third-party platform decisions, external outages, or unauthorized misuse of the website.
Specific responsibilities, warranties, remedies, limitations, and other legal obligations connected to a paid customer project should be addressed in the applicable written project agreement.
Privacy
Use of the website may involve contact forms, analytics, cookies, hosting systems, security services, email delivery, and other data processing described in the Matthew Web Privacy Policy.

Changes to These Terms
Matthew Web may revise these Terms of Use as the public website, services, technologies, policies, business structure, or legal requirements change.
Updated terms should be posted on this page with a revised update date.

Website Terms Are Not the Same as a Customer Project Agreement.
These Terms of Use govern the public Matthew Web website and provide general information about services and projects. A customer project may require a separate written agreement defining scope, deposits, milestone payments, revisions, cancellations, intellectual property, delivery, support, ownership transfer, and other project-specific terms.
