WEB DESIGN

2A. Acceptance of Work

Quotations are valid for 30 days from date of issue.

When the Client places an order to purchase a website or website revisions and updates from the Web Designer, the order represents an offer for website purchase, or website maintenance, made to the Web Designer to work on the clients’ projects, as mentioned in person, via telephone, email or WhatsApp.

No contract for the supply of services exists between Client and Web Designer until the Web Designer sends an e-invoice to the Client for payment, unless it has been agreed otherwise between both parties. The e-invoice equals acceptance by the Web Designer (or third-party supplier) of the Client’s order to purchase services from the Web Designer and this acceptance of work is a valid contract between Client and Web Designer regardless of whether the Client receives the e-invoice.

Any other services on the order that have not been included in the e-invoice do not form part of the contract. The Client agrees to check that the details of the e-invoice are correct and should print and keep a copy for their records.

The Web Designer is liable to withdraw from contract at any time prior to acceptance.

Additional work requested by the Client that is not specified in the agreed quotation is subject to an additional quotation by the Web Designer on receipt of specification. If the work is needed as part of an existing project, then this may affect time scale and overall delivery time of the project.

If a functional specification and a set of testing criteria is included within the quotation, the Web Designer is responsible for fulfilling the testing criteria as the sole criteria for completion of the contract.

The Client agrees that the standard development platform (available upon request or at our website https://veredesign.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/) is an agreeable platform for development of the website and all acceptance testing will occur only on the standard development platform. The Client further agrees that any requests relating to hardware or software outside the standard development platform will be deemed additional work.

The Client agrees to provide any needed information and content required by the Web Designer in good time to enable the Web Designer to complete a design or website work as part of an agreed project.

2B. Permission and Copyright

Copyright of the completed web designs, images, pages, code and source files created by the Web Designer for the project shall be with the Client upon final payment only by prior written agreement. Without agreement, ownership of designs and all code is with the Web Designer.

These terms of use grant a non-exclusive limited license so that the Client can use the design on one website on one domain name only. The Client is not permitted to use a design for more than one website without prior written agreement between the Client and the Web Designer.

The Client agrees that resale or distribution of the completed files is forbidden unless prior written agreement is made between the Client and the Web Designer.

The Client hereby agrees that all media and content made available to the Web Designer for use in the project are either owned by the Client or used with full permission of the original authors. The Client agrees to hold harmless, protect and defend the Web Designer from any claim or suit that may arise as a result of using the supplied media and content.

The Client agrees that the Web Designer may include development credits and links within any code the Web Designer designs, builds or amends. If the Designer designs a website for a Client, then the Client agrees that the Web Designer may include a development credit and link displayed on the Client’s website. If the Web Designer builds or amends a website for a Client, then the Client agrees that the Web Designer may include a development credit and link displayed on the Client’s web page, which may be within the code but not displayed on a web browser if requested by the Client.

The Client agrees that the Web Designer reserves the right to include any work done for the Client in a portfolio of work.

The Client agrees to abide by the terms of any third-party software or media included within any work done for the Client. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, Google Maps, Media under the Creative Commons license, RSS feeds, Open Source GPL Software etc.

2C. Material

The Web Designer reserves the right to refuse to handle:

Any media that is unlawful or inappropriate.
Any media that contains a virus or hostile program.
Any media that constitutes harassment, racism, violence, obscenity, harmful intent or spamming.
Any media that constitutes a criminal offence, or infringes privacy or copyright.

2D. Domain names and Hosting

The Web Designer can, at its own discretion, but is not obliged to, offer domain name registration and hosting via a third party-service.

The Client agrees that registration of a domain name does not provide endorsement of the right to use the name. The Client is responsible for ensuring they have due title to the domain name. The Web Designer holds no liability and the Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Web Designer from any claim resulting from the Client’s registration of a domain name.

The domain name is registered in the Client’s own name, with the address and contact details provided to the Web Designer. The Client should be aware that a domain name is registered with a third party and as such the Client shall agree to fully abide by the terms and conditions set out by the third party for such services.

The Client agrees to take all legal responsibility for use of third-party domain name and hosting services and supply truthful details to the third-party services.

The Client agrees that information submitted for registration of domain names is then available to the general public via the Nominet Whois system. However, Clients who are using their website for non-trading purposes may ask the third-party registrar for their contact information not to be included in the Nominet Whois system.

The Client is liable to pay the Web Designer for any domain name registrations and the initial set-up of the hosting if included as part of the website build.

Any support relating to the domain name, hosting and email services is between the Client and the third-party service.

Any other domain name and hosting services or costs not included by the Web Designer, including but not limited to further domain name registration fees, domain name transfer charges, yearly domain name renewals, hosting charges, yearly hosting renewals, hosting upgrades, extra disk space, bandwidth and any other related or hidden charges, are to be paid by the Client to the third party services.

The Client agrees to pay the domain name and hosting fees as soon as required by the third party. Any modifications needed to the domain name or hosting services are to be made between the Client and third-party service.

The Client agrees that if at any time their contact details, including email address, change, it is their responsibility to contact the third party and update their contact details. Failure to do so may mean that renewal invoices for the domain name and hosting services are not received by the Client.

Payment for domain name and hosting services is to be made immediately on receipt of an invoice from the third-party service. Failure to comply with the payment terms may result in the Client’s domain name becoming available to another party and/or the website and email services becoming unavailable.

The Client agrees to pass on FTP details and any other access details relating to their domain name and hosting account that the Web Designer requires to upload the website if required as part of a project.

The Web Designer reserves the right without notice to cancel, reject or refuse work with domain names or hosting services without reason for such rejection or refusal.

The Client agrees to be liable for their use of the domain name, hosting and email services with the third party and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Web Designer from any claim resulting from the Client’s publication of material and use of the domain name, hosting and email services.

The Client agrees to take full responsibility for all usage of the domain name, hosting and email services and to fully abide by the terms and conditions set out by the third party for such services.

2E. Projects

The Client agrees that an HTML page built from a graphic design may not exactly match the original design because of the difference between the display in design software and the rendering of HTML code by Internet browser software. The Web Designer agrees to try to match the design as closely as is possible when building the code.

During a website project it is important that the Client communicates information to the Designer to achieve the required result.

All alterations are to be requested in writing either by Email, WhatsApp, or Postal Mail by the Client. Quotations for alterations are to be provided by the Web Designer also in writing by Email, WhatsApp, or Postal Mail. The Web Designer reserves the right to request payment be received for further alterations before continuing work. Upon completion of agreed design, the Client is asked to confirm in writing by Email, WhatsApp or Postal mail that the design and the screen size is signed off as complete and agree that any further design alterations are chargeable.

If the Client requests design or content alterations to pages that have already been completed, new pages or different functionality other than that specified in the original quotation, the Web Designer reserves the right to quote separately for these alterations.

If optimised pages are included as part of the project, the Web Designer will optimise the Client’s web pages that already make up part of the project. Optimised pages is not creation of new pages. The optimisation of the web pages can include the meta tags, keywords, description, title, alt tags and text provided by the Client.

If optimised pages are not included as part of the project, these will be included in a SEO quotation, separate from the Web Design quotation.

The Web Designer endeavours to create pages that are accessible to search engines. However, the Web Designer gives no guarantee that the site will become listed with search engines.

If an error or issue with the design or code arises during the project, which does not allow the design or code to match the original specification, then the Client agrees that the Web Designer can apply a nearest available alternative solution.

The Web Designer at all times applies reasonable skill and care in provision of services.

On request, the Web Designer can create a copy of the website to be sent via download link to the Client on project completion. A small charge will be made to cover the cost of this service, unless quoted otherwise.

Once the project is completed, the Web Designer will upload the website to the Client’s web domain if included as part of the project.

After site completion, the Client or a third party of their choosing may wish to edit their website code themselves to make updates. However, the Client agrees that in so doing they assume full responsibility for any issues which occur as a result of changing the code themselves. If the Client or a third party of their choosing edits the website code and this results in functionality errors or the page displaying incorrectly, then the Web Designer reserves the right to quote for work to repair the website.

The Web Designer reserves the right to assign subcontractors in whole or as part of a project if needed.

The Web Designer will keep a copy of the site and design source files when a website project is being worked on. However, the Client agrees that it is their responsibility to have regular backups made by themselves or the third-party hosting services in case of a software or hardware failure at the third-party hosting servers. Clients can request backups to be made as part of the Website Maintenance Service on an hourly basis or monthly basis.

All communications between Web Designer and Client shall be by Telephone, Email, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Postal Mail, except where agreed at the Web Designer’s discretion.

2F. Accessibility & Web Standards

The Web Designer tests sites and templates to ensure they comply with WAI accessibility standards to Level A conformance at time of sale. Should the Client request that the Web Designer alter the site or templates to meet specific WAI accessibility guidelines, or if updated WAI accessibility guidelines were introduced after the site or templates were sold to the Client, the Web Designer reserves the right to quote separately for any additional work needed.
