Terms of Service

Buy a deck here and your agreement is with Anastasiia Paziuk trading as Slides Monster. Slides Monster is a working name; behind it is one person, Anastasiia Paziuk, self-employed. No company was ever formed, which is why the heading of this page carries a name and a street rather than a registration number.

Those particulars are published because selling online obliges a trader to publish them. Under regulation 6 of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 a visitor is owed the supplier's name, a geographic address and an electronic address; under regulation 13 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, read with Schedule 2 to those Regulations, a consumer is owed the same particulars in good time before committing to anything.

Treat the address as a place to serve papers, not a studio with a door. Nobody sits behind it waiting for callers.

Everything done under the Slides Monster name: an enquiry, a written confirmation, a deck in progress, a deck delivered. Your own confirmation sits on top of them. Where it settles a point about your deck, follow the confirmation; these terms fill in every point it leaves alone.

Parts of what follows belong to consumers only, meaning somebody buying for themselves rather than wholly or mainly for a business. Each such part says so where it starts. Should a line here collide with a consumer right, the right prevails and the remainder of the page carries on as written.

The thing being sold is layout. You supply wording, figures and brand material; they are set into slides carrying one visual system, a running order settled with you in advance, and a clear order of importance on every page.

A figure is the price of the smallest package whose two limits both cover the deck: how many slides it runs to, and how many charts or tables that already exist have to be restyled. A deck with few slides and a lot of charts therefore sits in a larger package, because the charts are what it needs.

Ten Slide Refresh

£180 per project. Up to 10 slides, no chart restyling, one round of changes, 4-5 working days. Handed over as an editable PowerPoint file (.pptx) and a PDF of the same deck.

Business Presentation

£340 per project. Up to 20 slides, up to 4 existing charts or tables restyled, two rounds of changes, 6-8 working days. Handed over as an editable PowerPoint file (.pptx) and a PDF of the same deck.

Extended Presentation

£560 per project. Up to 35 slides, up to 8 existing charts or tables restyled, two rounds of changes, 9-12 working days. Handed over as an editable PowerPoint file (.pptx) and a PDF of the same deck.

Past 35 slides, or past 8 charts and tables, no package covers it. There is no published figure for a deck like that, and it is quoted in writing on its own. A quotation of that kind runs on these same terms.

All three hand back the same two files. Contents are laid out in full on the Packages page, and that page and this one are built from a single price list, so neither can describe a service the other does not.

None of the following belongs to an order unless your confirmation says in terms that it does:

• Writing or rewriting your copy. The words are placed as supplied.
• Analysing your data, checking your figures or working out what they mean. A deck is laid out from conclusions you have already reached.
• Building a chart from raw numbers. Charts are restyled where they already exist, and where they do not, making one is quoted separately in writing.
• Translating or proofreading the text on the slides.
• Sourcing photographs or illustrations, or buying stock, font or template licences on your behalf.
• Animation, video editing, voice-over and anything that turns the deck into a film.
• Rehearsing, presenting or speaker coaching.
• Printing, binding and postage. Nothing is posted.

Refusal is not the point. Each item sits outside the figure at all three sizes, and no page here hints otherwise. Copywriting and work on the data behind a chart are both quoted separately in writing, before anything is done, and neither is started until you have agreed to it.

Should your deck need a typeface, a picture or an icon set somebody else owns, buy the licence in your own name and keep it. A licence held by anyone else is never quietly counted as covering your work.

1. You send a brief. A form assembles one out of your answers and hands it to you to send. An email saying the same things works exactly as well. The form is on the Contact page.
2. The brief is read and answered in writing. The reply names the package your counts fall into, the figure for it, what it covers, what is needed from you, and how long the work takes from the point the clock starts. Where the counts fall outside the published packages, the reply is a written quotation for the deck in front of me instead.
3. You accept, and the confirmation goes out. The agreement comes into being when the written confirmation is sent, and not before. Nothing on this website commits you to anything.
4. The figure is paid. Payment answers to that confirmation and goes by the method it names. Before a penny is requested, the document restates the figure in full.
5. The running order is agreed, then the slides are laid out. The running order is settled first, in writing, because it is what the rounds of changes are measured against. Layout follows it.
6. You look at the draft and collect your changes. One collected set of corrections at a time. How many rounds are included is set by your package.
7. The deck is handed over. An editable PowerPoint file and a PDF of the same deck, by email or by a link where the files are too large for a mailbox.

No basket, no checkout, no button here that spends your money. What the pages do is describe a service and publish a price list. When a brief comes back answered, that reply invites you to order; it does not tie me to anything until you accept it, and a quotation for work beyond the published packages may be corrected or taken back at any point before acceptance.

Consumers get the Schedule 2 particulars in that reply, which is the last moment before anything binds you: the identity above, a description of the deck, the figure, the turnaround and the right to cancel explained on the Refund & Cancellation page. Regulation 16 asks for a lasting record of all of it, and the written confirmation that follows your acceptance is that record.

Figures here, and in every confirmation, are pounds sterling (GBP), priced by the project rather than the hour.

Two counts decide a figure and nothing else does. It will not move because the meeting matters, because a sentence on a slide runs long, or because half the photographs you sent went unused. Where both counts sit inside a package, you pay that package.

Whatever figure your confirmation names covers the whole of the work it describes. Nothing is added to it afterwards: no handling charge, no delivery charge, because nothing is posted, and no surcharge for paying by card.

Anything beyond the confirmation is priced in writing first and started only once you have said yes. No work gets done quietly and invoiced later.

Payment answers to the confirmation and goes by whatever method that document names. The figure is restated there in full before a penny is requested.

Pay by card and the card details travel to the payment provider your confirmation names, who handle them start to finish. They never reach me: not seen, not received, not kept.

Your package turnaround is counted in working days and starts only once three things have happened, which the Delivery & Service Terms page sets out together.

Wording, figures, charts, logo: yours, placed as sent. Writing the words, checking the arithmetic and interpreting the results are all outside every package, and no photograph or illustration is hunted down on your behalf.

Sending material for a deck is you confirming three things:

• that it is yours, or licensed widely enough to appear in a presentation of yours, photographs and typefaces included;
• that its wording, figures and claims are accurate, and that any claim the law regulates can lawfully be made;
• that none of it is unlawful and that showing it infringes nobody's rights.

Your figures, dates and claims are not audited here. A finished deck asserts nothing about their truth on my part.

Where you are buying as a business

Should a claim land on me out of material you supplied, you carry it to the extent it flows from a breach of those three confirmations. Consumers are outside that paragraph entirely, and nothing in this part weakens the protection Schedule 2 to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives a consumer against unfair terms.

Section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 writes reasonable care and skill into every consumer service contract. It applies to your deck, and no line on this site excludes or trims it.

Where the deck handed to a consumer counts as digital content, sections 34, 35 and 36 of the same Act ask that it be of satisfactory quality, fit for a purpose you told me about before ordering, and as described. Those three stand here untouched as well.

Section 50 goes further: what a trader says about a service before an order, and the consumer relies on, becomes a term of the contract. So the package descriptions on this site are part of the deal rather than sales talk that expires the moment you pay.

Three things, and only three: the running order settled before layout began, your package as described, and the material you sent. A slide cannot outrun the photograph dropped into it, and a picture that falls apart at the size the room needs is a limit of the material rather than a fault in the layout.

Preference is not a defect. A deck built to the agreed running order in the agreed style is not broken merely because another arrangement would have worked too; sorting that out is what your rounds of changes are for.

Wording, figures, charts and logo belong to you throughout and go on belonging to you. Nothing here claims a share of them, and they serve no purpose except building your deck.

Pay the agreed figure in full and the finished deck is yours to use for your own business, with no limit of time, territory or medium: present it, circulate it, post it on your site, hand it to a printer, rebuild it next year. The editable PowerPoint file is handed over precisely so that later edits need not come back through me.

What does not travel with it is the craft behind it: grids, masters and working methods carry on from one project to the next and were never part of the purchase.

Nobody else is shown your deck. It becomes a sample, a portfolio piece or a screenshot only if you have agreed to that in writing.

• A round of changes is one collected set of corrections, sent at once, measured against the running order agreed before layout started.
• Corrections sent one at a time over a fortnight are collected into the round they belong to. What makes a round finish is you saying it is finished.
• Moving type, colour, spacing, the order of slides and the wording already on a slide are all corrections, and they belong to the rounds your package includes.
• Adding slides past the count the figure was worked out from, adding charts past the number your package covers, or replacing the agreed running order with a different one is new work. Each is quoted in writing before anything moves.
• Want more rounds than the package carries? They can be arranged, priced in writing before anything moves.

How many rounds you have is fixed by the package: Ten Slide Refresh, one round of changes; Business Presentation, two rounds of changes; Extended Presentation, two rounds of changes.

A deck that departs from the agreed running order, from the material you sent or from your package as described gets corrected. Say what is wrong. That is the first move and it is meant to be the last one needed.

Consumers hold more than that, and none of it is cut down here. Where a service falls short of reasonable care and skill, section 55 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 lets you demand that it be done again, and section 56 lets you press for money back off the price where doing it again is impossible or cannot happen in reasonable time.

Where the delivered deck counts as digital content and is faulty, mis-described or useless for a purpose you named before buying, sections 43 to 45 of that Act offer a repair or a replacement first, then a price reduction or a refund if that fails to settle it.

These remedies run alongside the right to cancel, which answers a different question altogether and lives on the Refund & Cancellation page. Picking one does not forfeit the other, and no line here asks you to.

Three things stay on my side of the table whatever this page says, because the law would not permit otherwise:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence, which section 65 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 puts beyond exclusion;
• fraud, and fraudulent misrepresentation;
• the statutory rights in the part above, together with anything else the law forbids a trader to exclude or restrict.

Beyond those, and for business buyers only, what I can be made to answer for on an order stops at the figure paid for it. Lost profit, lost contracts, lost data and losses neither of us contemplated when the order was struck sit outside that.

What becomes of a deck once it leaves is likewise outside: how unfamiliar software renders it, what a strange projector does to a colour, whether the words and figures on the slides hold up. Those came from you.

Consumers are not touched by the cap in the first paragraph here. Your remedies are the ones in the part above.

Consumers hold a right to cancel that owes nothing to anything having gone wrong. It is explained, with what becomes of the money, on the Refund & Cancellation page.

Either of us can end the agreement in writing where the other has broken it seriously and left it broken for 14 days after being asked to mend it. Where material for a deck has not turned up three months after the confirmation and you have gone quiet, the order can be closed on notice, with whatever was genuinely done by then remaining payable.

Done work is paid for and undone work is not. End an order midway and what you owe matches what had been finished at that moment; anything paid above that comes back.

In writing, to contact@slides.monster. Five working days is the outside limit for a reply, and where the answer needs longer you get told that, with a date.

Letters reach Anastasiia Paziuk trading as Slides Monster at Flat 5 Alexander Court, 24 Smyth Rd, Bristol BS3 2BL. Send the same words by email as well: that address is there to serve papers, not to staff a desk.

No telephone number exists for this business and no page here implies one. Writing keeps the record straight, which suits both sides when a disagreement turns on what was agreed.

These terms come out in editions, dated at the head of this page. Your order answers to whichever edition stood on the day it was confirmed; a later one published afterwards leaves it alone.

No clause here lets me revise your order, its figure or its contents once the confirmation has gone. Alterations to work in progress happen by agreement or they do not happen.

The law of England and Wales governs these terms and every order under them, and its courts hear any dispute.

Consumers living in Scotland or Northern Ireland may sue at home instead, keeping the mandatory protections of the law where they live. This part removes none of that.

Should any part of these terms prove unenforceable, everything else stands.
