Read the comprehensive terms and conditions to understand the service commitments. Learn about revision policies, website lockup periods, media management practices, administrative access protocols, theme change restrictions, footer credit requirements, domain lock-in policies, and ownership terms. Ensure a clear and smooth hosting experience with these detailed guidelines.
Revisions
Clients are entitled to a maximum of 2 revisions after selecting a website template.
All necessary details and media assets, including content, images, videos, and logos in PNG format, must be provided by the client.
Website Publication
The website will be published within 2 weeks after receiving all necessary details and media assets from the client.
Website Lockup Period
A mandatory two-year lockup period will be strictly enforced.
After the initial web design fee of $300, which includes one month of free hosting, a recurring monthly hosting and domain fee of $50 will be charged starting from the second month.
Media Management
Periodic checks will be conducted to identify and remove unused media files, optimizing disk space usage. Only media files in active use will remain visible on the website.
Administrative Access
Administrative access to the website will be maintained for the entire subscription period to provide efficient support and service management.
Theme Changes
Clients are allowed to change the website theme after the completion of 1-year hosting subscription.
Footer Credits
As long as the domain is hosted with the service, the website must display a visible and followed link crediting the web designer in the footer.
Domain Lock-In
The domain will be freshly registered and locked in with the service for a period of 2 years. Clients will not be able to transfer the domain to another provider until this 2-year period has elapsed.
Domain Transfer Fee
A transfer fee of $150 will apply if the client wishes to transfer the domain after the 2-year lock-in period. This ensures reciprocity and discourages immediate departures.
Domain Ownership
If the client already owns a domain, they will still be required to pay the full monthly hosting fee of $50. No discounts will be provided for existing domain ownership.
Image Optimization
Includes compression and resizing as needed to ensure faster load times without sacrificing quality
Video Optimization
The web designer reserves the right to implement the best practices for video optimization to minimize website load times and enhance user experience. This includes utilizing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) such as YouTube, Vimeo, and other video platforms widely recommended for reducing the strain on the website, ensuring smooth playback without compromising on quality.
Subscription Proof and Payment Methods
To ensure uninterrupted service, clients are required to provide proof of subscription payment. Payments for ongoing services, specifically the monthly hosting and domain service rate, can be made through the following methods:
- Bank Transfer
- GCash
- Remitly
Proof of Payment
Clients must submit proof of payment, including transaction receipts or confirmation details, to verify their subscription status. This can be done by sending a copy of the payment confirmation to seodevmaster@gmail.com.
Recurring Payments
The recurring payment, which covers the monthly hosting and domain service rate, should be made on a regular monthly basis according to the agreed-upon schedule. Clients are responsible for ensuring that payments are completed in a timely manner.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to provide proof of payment or to make timely payments may result in the website becoming unreachable until payment is received and verified. This measure is in place to ensure continued access to all services without interruption.
Automatic Compliance
By continuing to use our services, clients acknowledge and agree to adhere to these payment and proof submission requirements without the need for repeated reminders. This policy ensures a smooth and efficient service experience for all parties involved.
Termination Fee Terms and Services
Early Termination Fee
The client will be required to pay an early termination fee equivalent to the remaining balance of the hosting and domain fees for the full two-year period. This fee is calculated by multiplying $50 by the number of months remaining in the contract. For example, if 18 months remain, the termination fee would be $900.
Website Files and Domain Transfer
Upon payment of the termination fee, the client will receive the website files and the domain name. However, it is important to note that the database and backend systems, which are essential for the operation and maintenance of the site, will not be included in the transfer. This measure ensures that the core functionalities tied to our ongoing services remain secure and properly maintained.
Non-Refundable Web Design Fee
The initial web design fee of $300 is non-refundable. Clients will not be entitled to any refund or credit for design services already rendered, even in the case of early termination.
Service Discontinuation
After early termination, all services related to the website, including hosting, domain management, and any additional features provided, will be discontinued. The client will be responsible for securing alternative services if necessary.
Client Responsibility
The client agrees to these terms and acknowledges their responsibility for any impact early termination may have on the website’s availability, functionality, and associated services.
By availing of this service, clients automatically agree to these terms and conditions, including all the commitments, responsibilities, and limitations outlined above, without the need for a digital signature.
