We’ll always do our best to fulfill your needs and meet your expectations. But it’s important to have things written down so both you and us know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong. In these Terms and Conditions you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We seek to be clear, honest, and direct as we provide you a valuable service. We want what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

In short, you are hiring us to design and develop a website, and these terms explain how the project will proceed.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Welcome to Practical Website Design service (the "Service). Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). By using the Service, you signify your acceptance of these Terms AND those of Strikingly. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Our Web Design Service creates website designs using the Strikingly host as a server. Once initial payment is made and registered, you will have a website designed for your business. You will have access to your Strikingly backoffice to make changes and modifications on your own or can pay a fee for our web designer to make the changes. Changes are limited to your Strikingly account registration capabilities. In the highly unlikely event, we are not responsible if Strikingly changes their terms of service, shuts down, or incurs an additional fee. If, at any stage until delivery, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for everything we’ve produced until that point and cancel this contract.

PRO SUBSCRIPTION HOSTING FEE

You agree to a 12-month Pro Subscription Hosting commitment paid directly to Practical Website Design, LLC. You may choose to pay for the year in advance at a rate of $180/year or pay $20/month. The Pro Subscription will begin directly upon our delivery of your website, not when you connect your domain. Make sure to check your Client Portal frequently for that communication. After the 12 months are up you may choose to continue with your current Pro Hosting Subscription payment plan or switch, but once again the commitment is for a full year at a time and cannot be canceled during that time. Pro Subscription Hosting Renewal is $180/year or $20/month.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

Websites are built on a first come, first served basis. Our ability to deliver a completed website depends on you giving us everything we need to complete the project in the format that we need it, as and when we need it. You’ll review our work and provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too.

Likewise, we can cancel this contract any time, by informing you in writing at least one (1) month in advance.

You will be required to go into your website backoffice and make the necessary changes to remain compliant or pay us an additional fee to do it for you. Payment is due before services are rendered.

Where you provide us materials in the course of the project, you guarantee that you own them or have been given permission to use them. Ownership of these materials will remain with you (or the persons who licensed them to you) at all times. You grant us a royalty-free licence to use them for the project and to retain copies in our business records.

We will not be responsible for any damage or consequences if the materials you provided infringe someone else’s rights or are unlawful or illegal. You will indemnify us and pay for all damages, costs, fees, expenses and legal fees on an indemnity basis that we incur due to your materials being infringing, unlawful or illegal in any country.

DELAYS TO THE PROJECT SCHEDULE

We understand that sometimes it’s impossible to reply to emails and messages immediately, and so we don’t expect you (or us) to be able to do so. At the same time, we’ve found that keeping the momentum going produces the best results for both us and our clients. Let's do our best to not delay the project.

NON-PAYMENT OR MISSED PAYMENT

We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that we get paid promptly for our invoices. We rarely have any late payment issues with our clients, but we need to protect ourselves too.

So in the unlikely event that any of our invoices is not paid on time, we may unpublish or disable your website while the invoice remains unpaid. We agree to provide you with an e-mail notification 7 days before due date if applicable. If the Pro Subscription Invoice goes unpaid more than 48 hours after the due date, we may temporarily unpublish your website within 24 hours until all unpaid invoices are up to date.

We do not offer a 'pause' in subscription payments or 'skipping months'. If you would like your website reactivated, you will need to be up to date and pay any months you missed during the 12-month contract.

We also may choose to cancel the project immediately, suspend work till payment is received (including stopping ongoing work, removing unpaid material, and taking down the website), and/or take legal action to recover our fees and any lawyer’s charges for doing so.

OUR RIGHTS BEFORE PAYMENT OF THE FINAL PROJECT INVOICE

All originally created deliverables, including trademark logos and taglines, in draft and final form, are wholly owned by us prior to full payment of the final project invoice by you. This means that if the project is cancelled before completion, we retain ownership of everything, and no rights are granted to you to use them.

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

We will use our best efforts to prevent errors and omissions from occurring in web page information. If such errors or omissions occur, please notify us within one week of delivery and we will correct them for free, and that will be the limit of our responsibility and liability. After this point, you may incur a correction fee.

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither you nor us shall be liable for failure to perform our part of the contract, if the failure is due to force majeure events (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane, natural disaster, war, civil war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities, rebellion, terrorist activity, government sanction, change of law, strike, lockout, industrial action, embargo, sabotage, interruption or failure of electricity service, interruption or failure of transport networks or other public utilities, interruption or failure of Internet or other communication service).

LIMITS ON LIABILITY

While our aim is to deliver top quality and client satisfaction, there are some things we are unable to accept responsibility for.

We provide the deliverables to you on an as-is basis, and we make no promise or guarantee that they will be fit for, or achieve, any particular purpose.

We cannot and do not promise or guarantee that services or products purchased or licensed from third party vendors will be free from interruption or failure or that they will remain available for use for any specific period.

We will not be liable to you for lost profits or other special or consequential damages of any kind, nor will we be liable to you for direct damages unless caused by our gross negligence or fraud. The maximum damages payable to you in any event will not exceed the amount of fees actually invoiced and paid to us in connection with the project in question.

Specifically, we will not be responsible or liable to you for damages or loss caused by:

- your use of the designs and deliverables in ways that are not covered by the licences we grant to you;

- anything done by us on your instructions, or using material you provided to us;

- any breach of these terms and conditions by you;

- any legal, governmental, contractual or other approvals that were required but which you did not obtain,

and you will keep us indemnified for all damages, costs, fees, expenses and legal fees on an indemnity basis that we incur due to any of these specific actions and omissions.

We cannot transfer, assign or novate this contract without your advance permission in writing, except to a company or business in which we or our ultimate owners have a majority ownership interest.

OTHER LEGAL STUFF

Practical Website Design, LLC may amend these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice.

If for some reason part of this contract becomes unenforceable or invalid, the remaining parts will be unaffected.

A failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or benefit under this contract does not amount to a waiver of that right or benefit.
