Contracts, IP & rights
Digital, websites & software
Most organisations now live online, and their websites, social media and software come with legal strings attached. We help you get the terms, licences and policies right, so your digital presence works for you rather than against you.
Who this is for
Cultural and charitable organisations running websites, online shops, ticketing, social media channels or apps, and those buying or licensing software and digital services.
If you are launching a website, commissioning digital work or signing up to a platform, this page is for you.

How we help
We draft the documents a website needs: terms of use, privacy notices and cookie information, and terms of sale if you sell online. We write social media policies that help staff and volunteers use your channels well, and advise when something posted online causes a problem.
We review and negotiate software licences and subscription agreements, and the contracts for commissioning websites, apps and other digital work, so you own what you pay for and know what happens if the supplier lets you down.

Frequently asked questions
Does our website need terms and conditions?
Most websites benefit from terms of use, and if you sell online you will need terms of sale. You will also need clear privacy and cookie information. We draft what you need.
Who owns a website we have paid for?
It depends on the contract. Without the right terms, the developer may keep rights in the design or code. We make sure ownership and licences are dealt with clearly.
Can you review a software licence before we sign?
Yes. We check the terms on cost, data, liability, support and ending the agreement, and tell you what to push back on.
Do we need a social media policy?
If staff, freelancers or volunteers post on your behalf, a short policy helps everyone know what is expected. We write ones people will actually read.
