Synergy Developers - Terms & Conditions

Standard Media Delivery

This Agreement assumes that all text is provided by the Client in electronic format (e-mail or word doc), all photographs and other graphics are provided in a .gif, .jpeg, or .bmp format. Additional expenses may be incurred and will be invoiced accordingly for Synergy Developers providing text, corrective work, and conversion of media and outside facility charges.

Permission and Copyright

The Client will obtain all the necessary permissions and authorities in respect of the use of all copy, graphic images, registered company logos, names and trademarks, or any other supplied material. Every contract for page design and placement shall be regarded as a guarantee by the Client to Synergy Developers that all such permissions and authorities have been obtained. Evidence of permissions and authorities may be requested.

Licensed Code

This Agreement includes code elements being custom created for the Client and is based on toolboxes of techniques and pre-developed code that is the property of Synergy Developers. This software technology is licensed to the Client for a one-time fee and is limited to installation and usage by that Client only on one "site" of connected documents on one "server". Such code is not owned by that Client and may not be distributed, modified, or re-licensed without the express written consent of Synergy Developers.

Access Requirements

In order to install the design in question, Synergy Developers must be granted read/write access to the Client's storage directories. Depending on the project, other resources might have to be configured on the server end (for scripts, image maps, etc.).

Right to Pull

The Client agrees to give Synergy Developers "on demand" access to the installed designs and the Client further agrees that Synergy Developers shall have the right to remove that design from public posting for failure to adhere to the terms of this Agreement, including violating any licensing agreements or failure to pay fees duly assessed.

Payment Terms

A 50% deposit will be paid in full before design commences. This deposit is non-refundable. Remaining designing/hosting/maintenance fees are payable 14 days after completion (unless otherwise agreed). Designing and site updating fees are $45 per hour. Hosting fees are paid annually.

Post Placement Alterations

Synergy Developers cannot accept responsibility for any alterations caused by third parties occurring to the Client's pages once placed. Such alterations include, but are not limited to, additions, modifications, or deletions.

Cancellations

Cancellation of orders for authoring or placement may be made by telephone, but must be confirmed in writing by e-mail or letter. The Client will be invoiced for authoring work completed to the date of first notice of cancellation for payment in full within 14 days. The full invoiced amount of the order must be paid if the cancellation is not received in writing within 10 working days of placing a website order. Cancellations of hosting must be made with 28 days’ notice; otherwise, that month of hosting will be charged to the Client. In the event that you decide to move to another provider within the hosting term paid for, the hosting fees are non-refundable. There may also be a domain “transfer” charge.

Impossibility of Performance

The Client acknowledges and agrees that Synergy Developers cannot guarantee the absence of service interruptions caused by Acts of God or other circumstances beyond its control including, but not limited to, telecommunications problems.

Websites

On ordering a site, you will receive a typed invoice confirming the site cost and number of pages to be constructed. I will specify a date for the completion and set up of the initial site, normally between 2-6 weeks from the date of ordering, depending on the timely provision of relevant information. If additional information and ideas are requested, I will be happy to add these after the site is set up for a fee of $45 per hour.

Browser Compatibility

Designing a website to fully work in multiple browsers (and browser versions) can require considerable, extra effort. Therefore, Synergy Developers only guarantees that the website designed for you will work in current versions of major browsers.

The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the web pages and website is with the client.
