Web Design / Development

The following terms and conditions apply to all website development/design services provided by The Website Space Ltd to the Client. 

 

1. Acceptance 

It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full. 

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions. 

 

2. Charges 

Charges for services to be provided by The Website Space Ltd (TWS) are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail and/or in writing. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. The Website Space Ltd reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after the expiry of the 60 days. 

Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all website design services require an advance payment of a minimum of fifty (50) per cent, of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review with the remaining fifty (50) per cent, of the project quotation total due upon completion of the work, or after 31 days from the initial payment, whichever is sooner, prior to upload to the server or release of materials. 

Payment for services is due by bank transfer. Bank details will be made available on invoices. 

All payments made to The Website Space Limited are non-refundable. If The Website Space Limited decides to issue a refund this will be paid via BAC’s within 28 days of the refund confirmation email being sent by The Website Space Limited.

 

3. Client Review 

The Website Design will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall website development is completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies The Website Space Ltd otherwise within ten (10) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client. 

 

4. Turnaround Time and Content Control 

The Website Space Ltd will install and publicly post or supply the Client’s website by the date specified in the project proposal, or at date agreed with Client upon TWS receiving initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by TWS. 

In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid The Website Space Ltd with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner. 

During the project, TWS will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies and sound files etc. to populate the website. 

 

5. Failure to provide the required website content: 

TWS is a small business, to remain efficient we must ensure that the work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions, we may have to reject offers for other work and enquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged. 

If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do it before the agreed time, one (1) week prior to the project completion date we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go-ahead to start until you are ready to do so. 

TWS agree to make periodical updates to any sites commissioned and hosted by TWS. This is subject to a fair usage clause. TWS reserve the right to refuse to update websites if such requests exceed 3 hours of development time per site per annum. 

 

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as Apple Pages, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, PDF file, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this. 

If you are commissioning a CMS website you will be provided with a content management system so that you are able to keep your content up to date yourself. 

 

6. Payment 

Invoices will be provided by TWS upon completion but before publishing the live website. Invoices are normally sent via email; however, the Client may choose to receive hard copy invoices. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed a service charge in the amount of the higher of twenty per cent (20%) or £30 per month of the total amount due, whichever is greater. 

 

7. Additional Expenses 

The client agrees to reimburse TWS for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the work. Examples would be the purchase of special fonts, stock photography, plugins etc. This payment will be required prior to the purchase of the additional required materials. 

 

8. Web Browsers 

TWS makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, etc.). The client agrees that TWS cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems. 

TWS cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in obsolete version or new versions of browsers released after the website have been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, TWS reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software. 

 

9. Default 

Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on The Website Space Ltd webspace, TWS will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. TWS is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay The Website Space Ltd reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by The Website Space Ltd in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

The Client is further responsible for granting TWS permission and rights for use of the same and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TWS from any and all claims resulting from the Client’s negligence or inability to obtain proper copyright permissions. A contract for website design and/or placement shall be regarded as a guarantee by the Client to TWS that all such permissions and authorities have been obtained. Evidence of permissions and authorities may be requested.

Unless otherwise specified in the project quotation, this agreement assumes that any text will be provided by the Client in electronic format (text files delivered on a USB drive or via e-mail or FTP) and that all photographs and other graphics will be provided in .gif, .jpeg, .png or .tiff format. Although every reasonable attempt shall be made by The Website Space Ltd to return to the Client any images or printed material provided for use in the creation of the Client’s website, such return cannot be guaranteed.

All round an easy, efficient and excellent designer to work with!

"We were very impressed with the work Oliver did for us. We gave a fairly open brief of improving the look of our website homepage. He constructively gave his opinion on what would work on that and the whole site if we wanted to pursue that as an option. When the project was carried out it was done efficiently, to the brief and he promptly amended anything we found that wasn't quite right during QA.

The Website Space was absolutely fantastic

"The Website Space was absolutely fantastic helping us build a website to launch a new side of our business - having a platform to deliver and sell online courses. Oliver went above and beyond advising and assisting in all areas which was invaluable to us because we really needed someone to 'hold our hand' throughout this whole process and also to leave us with some knowledge and skill to be able to use the system ourselves. I couldn't recommend The Website Space more highly. Fantastic service. "
