A BIT MORE IN DEPTH:

What do both parties agree to?

You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation.

You’ll give us the assets and information we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for.

You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval, or any edit requests within 24 hours of delivery of initial design.

Edit requests to the website outside of the 24 hours will be counted against you monthly quota of edit requests.

Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together outside of this contract. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

 

If a website build is delayed due to us waiting on items/content/clarification from you, then the monthly payment will still be due as per this contract, regardless as to whether the website is live or not. No refunds will be given for time in which the website is offline.



If after 6 months from the date of purchase the website is not live due to delays in providing content, lack of communication or any other reason caused by the customer; we reserve the right to end the contract. In these circumstances no refund will be given for any payments but additional payment may still be owed for the work hours conducted at a rate of £40 per hour.

You should supply any photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose stock photographs, we suggest you allow us to choose from our stock libraries.

Technical support

We’re not a website hosting company, domains are provided by 1&1 and hosting is provided by Strikingly. Support for either service will be provided by them, and facilitated by us. We are therefore bound by their time frames and terms accordingly.

Search engine optimisation (SEO)

We don’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the web pages that we develop are accessible to search engines.

 

Website "hand-over"

 

We give ample time for you to view the website in its "demo" state and make changes as you see fit. At this time we urge you to test every element of the website, it's functionality and that the content is error free. Before going "public" with your website on the chosen domain we will seek your confirmation that everything is OK - by confirming this your are confirming that you have checked the website in it's entirety and that there are no errors.

THE LEGAL STUFF:

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience.

That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the amount of fees payable under this contract and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if we’ve advised you of them.

Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

We love to show off our work, so we reserve the right to display all aspects of our creative work, including sketches, work-in-progress designs and the completed project on our portfolio and in articles on websites, in magazine articles and in books.

 

PAYING US:

We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay us on time. As we’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, you agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule.

 

Payment details

 

We issue invoices via PayPal Subscription electronically each month, it is your responsibility to ensure that the correct payments are made via paypal.

 

Any problems with the transfer of funds must be corrected by you.

Any change to the monthly fee will be notified to you 2 months in advance.

 

You agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds.

COUPON CODES AND DISCOUNTS:

Additionally any Add-on Purchases made for your website will remain active on your website for, and are limited to, the length of your contract.

 

Satisfaction Guarantee (Money Back)

We aim to provide a website which is both functional and beautiful; if though for what ever reason you are not satisfied with our work you may request a refund of your first payment and cancellation of our contract, for this to be valid the following conditions must apply:

Refund can only be requested at "Demo" stage, before domain name has been purchased - your consent will be sought before we purchase a domain, once consent has been given no refund can be requested.
Refund can only be requested within 30 days of first website payment.
Refund can only be requested if no changes to original demo have been requested or agreed by the client.
 

Unfortunately beyond the conditions set out above we cannot offer refunds for any of our design work; you are paying for our time spent creating an artwork, which we cannot regain, however we will do everything in our power to ensure that you are happy with the end result.

But where’s all the horrible small print?

We both agree that we’ll adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in relation to our activities under this contract and not cause the other to breach any relevant laws or regulations.

 

This contract stays in place and need not be renewed. If for some reason one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place.

 

Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of English and Welsh courts.
