Terms of Service

Last updated 7 October 2026

In short: these terms cover the use of designbyathar.com and the basis on which we quote and deliver work. Every project also has its own written proposal, and the proposal takes priority wherever the two differ.

1. Who we are

Athar ("we") is a web design studio based in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, trading as designbyathar.com. Contact: hello@designbyathar.com.

2. Using this website

You are welcome to browse this website and share links to it. Please do not interfere with how it works, attempt to access systems that are not public, or copy its design, text, films or images without our written permission. The portfolio and demonstration sites linked from this website are shown as examples of our work.

3. Prices

Prices published on this website are in US dollars, exclude VAT and other taxes, and apply to the scope described next to each price. We may change published prices at any time; the price in a proposal you have accepted does not change.

Domain names, payment-gateway fees, WhatsApp and other messaging fees, and similar third-party costs are not included. They are billed at cost on their own invoice line.

4. Proposals and payment

5. Your content

You are responsible for the text, images, logos, product information and other material you give us, and for having the right to use it. We rely on it being accurate.

6. Our work

Ownership and licence terms for finished work are set out in each proposal. Until a project is paid in full, the work remains ours. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, we may show completed work in our portfolio.

7. AI chat and automation

These services answer your customers automatically, using the information you provide. Automated replies can be wrong or incomplete. You are responsible for keeping that information up to date and for checking the bookings, orders and payments the service records. They are not suitable for emergencies or for legal, medical or financial advice.

Messaging platforms such as WhatsApp apply their own rules and can limit or suspend an account. We cannot guarantee their availability.

8. Third-party services

Hosting, domains, payment gateways and messaging platforms are provided by other companies under their own terms. We are not responsible for their outages, price changes or decisions.

9. Liability

This website is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit, revenue or data, and our total liability for any service is limited to the fees you paid for that service in the three months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the courts of Bahrain have jurisdiction over any dispute.

11. Changes

If these terms change, the new version is published on this page with a new date. How we handle personal data is described in our privacy notice.
