Payment Terms / Work Flow

            A minimum deposit of fifty percent (50%) is required to commence work. Once the 50% deposit is received the Designer, basic site design concepts will be put on the Designers site online for the Client’s viewing and approval.  Alternatively, Designer may show Client the designs in person via printed copies.

            Communication between the Designer and Client is crucial during this phase to ensure that the ultimate publication will match the Client’s taste and needs.  Upon completion of this stage, the Client will be asked to confirm acceptance for the basic site design via e-mail or by signing a printed copy of the design.  Once this acceptance is received from the Client, the work necessary to complete the project will begin.

            Upon completion of the web site, e-mail or a phone call to the Client advising the Client that the work has been completed.  Final payment of the remaining 50% balance plus any additional charges incurred will be due at that time. If payment is not made within 15 days of completion of the site an additional charge of 10% will be added. For each additional 10 days there after a charge of 10% will accrue.

            Designer reserves the right to remove all web content from the Internet if payment is not made within fifteen (15) days after delivery of our completion notification. If payment delay is anticipated, please contact the Designer to discuss potential problems in advance.

Client Amends

            Designer prides them self in providing excellent customer service. That is the spirit of our agreement and the spirit of the Designer’s business. To that end, we encourage input from the Client during the design process.

            The Designer understands, however, that Clients may request significant design changes to pages that have already built to the Client’s specification. To that end, please note that our agreement does not include a provision for “significant page modification” or creation of additional pages in excess of our agreed pages.  If significant page modification is requested after a page has been built to the Client’s specification, we must count it as an additional page.
            Some examples of significant page modification at the request of the Client include:

• Developing a new table or layer structure to accommodate a substantial redesign at the Client’s request.
• Replacing more then 50% of the text to any given page at the Client’s request.
• Creating a new navigation structure or changing the link graphics at the Client’s request.

If significant page modification is requested by the Client after the agreed pages has been reached the charge will be $75.00 for each additional page. Moderate changes, however, will always be covered during our development of the site.

Age

            Authorized representative of the Client certifies that he or she is at the least 19 years of age and legally capable of entering a contract in the Province of British Columbia.
