The rules for using this website and working with us, written to be read rather than skimmed past.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Welcome to Arsenic Digital. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, our services, and the content on this site. By using the site or engaging us for work, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or our services.
These Terms cover this website and your general dealings with us. If you hire us, the proposal or agreement you sign covers your project, and it takes priority over anything on this page for the things it addresses.
Arsenic Digital is a web design and development studio based in New Jersey, United States. We design websites, build them, and host and maintain them for small and local businesses.
Our website is arsenicdigital.com.
In these Terms, "Arsenic Digital", "we", "us", and "our" mean Arsenic Digital. "You" and "your" mean anyone who visits this website or engages us for services.
You may use this site for lawful purposes only. By using it, you agree that you will not:
You need to be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to submit a form or engage us for services. If you are doing either on behalf of a business, you confirm you are authorized to act for it.
We may restrict, suspend, or end your access to this site at any time if you break these Terms.
Nothing on this site is an offer to enter into a contract. Engaging us for work, whether that is design, development, hosting, maintenance, or anything else, requires a separate written or digital agreement that sets out scope, deliverables, pricing, and timelines.
That client agreement governs your project. Where it conflicts with these Terms, the client agreement controls for anything it covers, and these Terms fill in the rest.
We may decline a project, or stop work on one, at our discretion and in line with whatever the applicable client agreement says.
Any prices, packages, or timelines described on this site, sent in a quote, or discussed on a call are estimates based on the information we have at the time. They are not binding until both sides sign an agreement.
Booking a call through our scheduler does not create a contract or reserve any work. If the shape of your project changes after we have quoted it, the price and timeline can change with it.
Everything on this site, including the text, layout, graphics, photography, logos, icons, and code, belongs to Arsenic Digital or the parties that license it to us, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
You may view the site and link to it. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, or create derivative works from any part of it without our written permission. The Arsenic Digital name and logo are our trademarks and may not be used without permission.
Client work is a separate matter, and your client agreement sets out what you own and when. Our standard position is that once the project is paid for, you own your domain, your content, your data, and the finished website and all of its files.
Hosting works differently, and we would rather be clear about it than sound generous. When we host a site, it runs on infrastructure we own and operate, so hosting is a service we provide rather than an account in your name. Nothing about that locks you in. Ask us at any point and we will hand over a complete copy of your site files, or move the site to any host you choose. Third-party components used in a site, such as fonts, stock photography, plugins, and hosting, remain under the license of whoever supplies them.
Client names, logos, and screenshots shown on this site remain the property of those businesses. If one of them is yours and you would rather it was not shown, email us and we will take it down.
When you submit information through our contact form, our scheduler, email, or any other route, you confirm that:
Please do not send sensitive personal information, passwords, or payment details through the website. If you need to share something sensitive, ask us first and we will arrange a safer way to do it.
This site depends on a small number of outside services to function:
We may add, replace, or drop services over time. We do not control these companies and are not responsible for their content, availability, or the way they handle data. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them. What we collect and why is described in our Privacy Policy.
This site also links to client websites and other outside pages. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for anything on the other end of it.
If you give us your email address or phone number, we may use it to reply to you, ask questions about your project, send documents such as quotes and invoices, and confirm appointments. That includes the occasional text message if the number you gave us is a mobile.
We do not run automated or bulk text campaigns, and we do not sell or share your number with anyone for marketing. Standard message and data rates from your carrier apply to any texts. Tell us at any point that you would rather not be texted or emailed and we will stop.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, this site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not promise that:
Anything on this site is general information, not legal, financial, or other professional advice. You use the site at your own risk.
Services delivered under a client agreement carry the warranties stated in that agreement, and nothing beyond them.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Arsenic Digital and its owners, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or connected with:
Our total liability for any claim relating to this website is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100). For services provided under a client agreement, our liability is limited to whatever that agreement states, and where it states no limit, to the fees you paid us for the work the claim relates to during the twelve months before the claim arose.
These limits apply even if we were advised that the damages were possible, and they apply regardless of the legal theory behind the claim. They do not apply to our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or to anything else the law does not let us limit. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Arsenic Digital and its owners, employees, and contractors from any third-party claim, and from any loss, liability, damage, or expense resulting from it, including reasonable legal fees, where the claim arises from your use of this site, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of someone else's rights.
This does not apply to the extent the claim is caused by our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. We will tell you promptly about any claim we want covered and give you a reasonable chance to take over the defense.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
Any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of this site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Before filing anything, please email us. Most problems are faster to solve by talking.
If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in full effect.
If we do not enforce part of these Terms right away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any client agreement you have signed with us, make up the entire agreement between us on the subjects they cover.
We may update these Terms as our services or the law change. When we do, we post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. If a change is significant, we will make a reasonable effort to tell current clients directly.
Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
If you have a question about these Terms, get in touch and a real person will answer.
