This Statement of Work is entered into between Northwind Outdoor Co. Ltd (the "Client") and Latchford Digital Ltd (the "Provider"). It is governed by the Master Services Agreement dated 2 February 2026, and where this SOW conflicts with that agreement, the Master Services Agreement prevails.

3. Scope of work
In scope
- Design and build of a responsive e-commerce website with a catalogue of up to 200 products.
- Integration with the Client's existing Stripe account for card payments.
- A content-managed blog so the Client's team can publish articles without developer help.
- Migration of existing product data from the Client's spreadsheet into the new store.
Out of scope
- Product photography and copywriting (supplied by the Client).
- Ongoing hosting, maintenance, and SEO services (available under a separate SOW).
- Integration with any warehouse or stock-management system.
