The terms for using this site and enquiring about our work. Plain language, and no surprises.

Last updated 23 September 2026

The short version

This page covers your use of kerne.agency. It is not a contract for design work: bespoke projects run under their own written agreement, which you will see and sign before any project begins. Kerne One is covered by its own terms below. For anything unclear, write to hello@kerne.agency.

Use of this site

You are welcome to browse, read and share links to this site. You may not copy its content for commercial use, scrape it at scale, attempt to break it, or use it in a way that damages Kerne or misleads others. That is the whole rule.

Our content

Everything on this site, the words, the design, the wordmark, the images and the method, belongs to Kerne unless stated otherwise. It may not be reproduced or reused without written permission. Short quotations with credit are fine.

Concept work

The case studies shown on this site, briar, mangia and solis, are self-initiated concept projects, and are labelled as such wherever they appear. They exist to show how we think and what we build. They are not paid client engagements, and no client relationship or commercial result is implied.

Enquiries

Submitting the enquiry form starts a conversation, nothing more. No engagement, fee or obligation exists until both sides have signed a written agreement. Prices for bespoke work are confirmed at proposal stage. Kerne One is the exception: it is sold at the fixed price shown, under the terms below.

Kerne One

Kerne One is a one-page website, designed, written and launched by Kerne for a fixed price of £249, as described on the Kerne One page. It is sold to businesses for business use. When you confirm your order and pay, you agree to the terms in this section, and no separate signed agreement is needed.

Kerne One: turnaround

We aim to have your site live within 24 hours of receiving everything we need from you. That time is ours: it pauses while we wait for your revisions, your approval or your domain provider. If anything outside our control causes a delay, we will tell you straight away.

Kerne One: revisions

The price includes one round of reasonable revisions to the page we build, sent to us together as one list. New layouts, extra pages or further rounds of changes are outside the price, and we will always agree any cost with you before doing the work.

Kerne One: refunds

We look at every business before taking payment, and if one page is not right for yours, we will say so then. If you change your mind after paying but before work has started, we will refund you in full. Once work has started the fee is not refundable, but we will use your revision round to put right anything that does not match what was agreed.

Kerne One: your content and ownership

You confirm that you have the right to use the logos, photos, reviews and words you send us. Once paid for, the finished site is yours, and your domain is registered in your name. We may show your finished site as an example of our work; if you would rather we did not, just tell us.

Kerne Care

Your first month of Kerne Care is included with Kerne One. After that it costs £15 a month and continues only if you ask it to. It runs month to month, you can cancel at any time, and it ends at the close of the month you have paid for. If you choose not to continue, we will help you move your site to hosting of your own.

Accuracy

We keep this site current, but offers, prices and availability change as the studio grows. If something here conflicts with a signed proposal or agreement, the signed document wins.

Liability

This site is provided as it stands. To the extent the law allows, Kerne accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on its contents or from interruptions to its availability. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Links

Where this site links elsewhere, that is a pointer, not an endorsement. We are not responsible for the content of other sites.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, we will update the date at the top of this page.
