Press and Play
Terms & conditions
Last updated 22 July 2026
These are the terms for working with Press and Play, written in the same plain words as everything else here. By starting a project with me, you agree to them.
The service
Press and Play builds your website and helps bring in customers. Every project is agreed with you first, built to what you ask for, and set up entirely in your name.
Prices and payment
Your quote is fixed and given to you in writing before any work begins. There are no surprise charges. Payment is due as set out in that quote. Our pricing is benchmarked against agency market rates in the Greater Toronto Area for equivalent scope, and is typically 30–60% below those rates.
Setup and installation: the essentials
Every website build carries a one-time setup and installation fee. This fee is essential and always applies: it can be discounted during promotions, but it is never waived, because it does not pay for design work; it pays for the essentials.
“Essentials” means the baseline things every website must have before it can exist and operate online: your domain name, hosting and servers, SSL security certificate, DNS configuration, business email, the APIs and integrations your site relies on (such as bookings, forms, maps, or payments), required software licenses, and the technical installation and deployment work that connects all of it together. Without these, there is no working website; that is why the fee is not optional.
Most of these are real costs charged by third-party providers such as domain registrars and hosting companies, purchased in your name so you own them, and some renew on their own schedule (for example, domain names renew yearly). Because these costs are spent on your project as soon as they are purchased, they cannot be refunded once provisioned, as set out in the guarantee below. The setup and installation fee is separate from your build price and from any monthly plan, and it is always shown in your written quote before work begins.
Revisions
Every service includes up to two rounds of revisions, based on the agreed scope of that service, so we can get the result right together. We are humans, not machines, and honest work sometimes needs a second pass; that is exactly what the included revisions are for. Changes that go beyond the agreed scope, or additional rounds after the included two, are not covered by the original price: they are quoted separately, in writing, before any extra work begins, so you always decide first.
$500 service credit
After your first payment on a paid plan or service, your account receives a $500 service credit as our thank-you. The credit works like this: it can be applied to future website-related services delivered by our team, such as design and development time, content updates, additional pages, or improvements; it represents our team’s working hours, not cash; it has no cash value, cannot be withdrawn, refunded, or transferred, and cannot be applied to third-party costs such as domains, hosting, ad spend, or printing materials. One credit per client. We will always tell you, in writing, how much of the credit a piece of work uses before we start it.
Our promise, honestly stated
We take your brand seriously: we help you build a brand, not a website. At the same time, we want to be honest with you the way we would want someone to be honest with us. All information on this site, including examples, timelines, and results described, is illustrative and offered as guidance, not as a guarantee. No one can promise specific business results, only God can do so; nothing in this world is perfect but God’s things, and we are humans, so mistakes can happen. That is exactly why every service includes revisions: when something needs fixing within the agreed scope, we fix it. Work beyond that scope is not guaranteed under the original price and is quoted separately, in writing, so everything stays clear between us. We meet online and in person, and we stay reachable either way.
14-day money-back guarantee
If you are not happy with the service, you can ask for a refund within 14 days of starting.
Terms and conditions apply. Fees already paid on your behalf to other companies, such as domain registration, hosting, ad spend, or other prepaid third-party services, cannot be refunded, because they have already been spent on your project. Work agreed and completed outside the original written scope is quoted and billed separately.
Promotional pricing
From time to time we run limited-time promotions where discounted pricing is applied to your order. During the founding period, code FRIENDS70 applies 70% off with yearly billing and code MATE50 applies 50% off with monthly billing; whichever matches your billing choice is applied automatically at checkout. Promotions renew, change or end at our discretion; the exact price you pay is always the total shown at checkout, in Canadian dollars.
Languages
Client support and communication are available in English and Albanian.
What you own
When the work is done, everything is yours, your website, your domain, and every account, all registered in your name. You are never locked in.
Your part
To build your site I need the basics from you: your business details, any photos or words you want used, and answers when I check in. The faster you reply, the faster you go live.
Liability
Press and Play works carefully and professionally, but it cannot promise specific business outcomes such as sales, rankings, or traffic, because those depend on many things outside the work itself. As far as the law allows, our responsibility for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the work in question.
Governing law and applicable legislation
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. Without limiting that, we conduct our business with regard to the following legislation, and nothing in these terms limits any right you have under it:
