TERMS OF BUSINESS
1. WORK
1.1 All work carried out, whether experimentally or otherwise, at the
client’s request shall be charged.
1.2 Should work be suspended at the request of or delayed through any
default of the client for a period of 28 days, the company shall then
be entitled to payment for work carried out, materials specially ordered
and other additional costs including storage.
1.3 Proofs of all work may be submitted for client approval and the
company shall incur no liability for any errors not corrected by the
client in proofs so submitted.
1.4 Intellectual Property. Any works, copyrighted, ideas, discoveries,
inventions, patents, products, or other information (collectively, the
“Work Product”) developed in whole or in part by the company
in connection with the services shall be the exclusive property of the
client. Upon request, the company shall sign all documents necessary
to confirm or perfect the exclusive ownership of the client to the Work
Product.
2. WEB SITE DESIGN
2.1 All site codes and rights pertaining thereto belong solely to iResolutions
until such time as payment has been received whereupon ownership will
transfer to the client.
2.2 The initial three month maintenance period includes amendment of
the site content only. It does not include additional extra pages beyond
those already agreed, nor re-design of the site. Should additional extra
pages or re-design be required, this work will be carried out at extra
cost.
2.3 Renewal of domain names and/or hosting packages is the responsibility
of the client, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
3. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
3.1 Delivery of work shall be accepted when tendered and thereupon
or, if earlier, on notification that the work has been completed, the
ownership shall pass and payment become due.
3.2 First payment (25% of total invoice) becomes due 14 days from agreed
completion of initial design of the website. Once this has been received
the content of the website will be developed to completion.
3.3 If annual web hosting and domain name renewal is arranged by the
company on behalf of the client, notice will be sent to the client before
the expiry date to ensure continuous service. If the client does not
renew the domain name before the expiry date, the company cannot guarantee
that the domain name will still be available after that time or that
the website will still be live. If web hosting is not renewed before
expiry, the website will be taken offline and all associated email accounts
will be closed. There will be a reconnection fee to reinstate the account
of £50.
3.4 Ongoing maintenance after development will be carried out at £50
per hour with a minimum of 15 minutes being charged for any works undertaken.
3.5 Final invoice(s) are due for settlement within 14 days of the website
becoming ‘live’, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Should
payment not be received within that time, your website will become temporarily
unavailable until funds have been cleared.
3.6 Accounts that are more than 14 days overdue will be passed to a
credit management company who buy our overdue accounts. You will then
become liable for their charges for the overdue account. This could
also affect your credit rating.
3.7 Quotations for work exclude delivery and/or collection charges
where appropriate. Delivery and/or collection is dependent on staff
availability, after 5.00pm or by prior arrangement only for any other
times.
