Client Obligations

You must follow all instructions provided by Web Development Artistry and provide in a timely manner and in the format specified, all information and materials requested by Web Development Artistry. Please note that links to content on other third party sites for retrieval will not be accepted.

The instructions provided by Web Development Artistry as to information and materials that you are to supply are designed to ensure your site is completed on time and within the specifications agreed upon. Noncompliance with these instructions will cause delays in delivery of your product and may result in you incurring additional costs.

At times Web Development Artistry may request domain name and hosting information from you. Once this information is received, Web Development Artistry may replace or delete files on your hosting account as needed in order to complete your project. You authorize Web Development Artistry to undertake these steps. Such activities may cause brief disruptions to your existing website, email and other services. If you have any special instructions or requirements regarding this, please advise Web Development Artistry immediately.

Once your site is handed over to you, any further work or changes will result in you incurring additional costs. It is your responsibility to check that the site is to your satisfaction prior to handover. Once the site is made live, you must check any functionality (e.g. checkout and payment processes) to ensure your site visitors experience the site the way you intend.

Supply of Materials

You must supply all materials and information required by us to complete the work in accordance with any agreed specification. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, photographs, written copy, logos and other printed material. Where there is any delay in supplying these materials to us which leads to a delay in the completion of work, we have the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount. Where you fail to supply materials, and that prevents the progress of the work, we have the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.

Fees

The total cost of your project and any fees are set out in the quote provided to you by Web Development Artistry, and any ad hoc quotes that may be provided to you by Web Development Artistry from time to time.

You must ensure that you are aware of any costs and ongoing fees before you elect to proceed. Any monthly fees attached to your project must be paid in full in order to ensure your service continuity. Your site may be suspended or discontinued if your fees fall overdue outside of Web Development Artistry payment terms.

Your initial website consultations are included in your quoted project cost and form part of your deposit. If you do not decide to proceed with Web Development Artistry, you will not be liable for this cost.

Web Business Theme Package Fees

Web Development Artistry’s standard payment terms for theme packages are as follows: 50% of the quoted price will be required as an upfront payment in order to get your project started. This also includes the cost of your initial website consultations.

Any further expenses incurred including additional requested development work, content uploads, stock images (over the free images included in your package) will be invoiced at the end of the project and just prior to launching your site.

Your final balance payment much be made upon completion of your site (before going live) or within 31 days from the date that your initial deposit was made, whichever occurs first.

Total Site Management fees and other monthly fees are to be paid by way of monthly payment.

If you require Web Development Artistry to make changes to your site after your site is handed over to you, you will be required to pay for this work at the hourly rate or in accordance with Web Development Artistry standard prices as quoted. All work must be paid for upfront and will be quoted for on request.

Project Delays and Client Liability

Any timeframes or estimates that we give are contingent upon your full co-operation and complete and final content for the work pages. During the project there is a certain amount of feedback required in order to progress to subsequent phases. It is required that a single point of contact be appointed by the client and be made available on a daily basis in order to expedite the feedback process.
