The domain name is registered in the Client’s own name, with the address and contact details of the Vendor.

Any support relating to the domain name, hosting and email services is between the Client and the third party service.

The Client agrees that an HTML page built from a graphic design may not exactly match the original design because of the difference between the display in design software and the rendering of HTML code by Internet browser software. The Vendor agrees to try to match the design as closely as is possible when building the code.

During a website project it is important that the Client communicates information to the Vendor to achieve the required result.
If the Client requests design or content alterations to pages that have already been completed, new pages or different functionality other than that specified in the original quotation, the Vendor reserves the right to quote separately for these alterations.

If optimised pages are included as part of the project, the Vendor will optimise the Client’s web pages that already make up part of the project. Optimised pages is not creation of new pages. The optimisation of the web pages can include the meta tags, keywords, description, title, alt tags and text provided by the Client.

The Vendor endeavours to create pages that are accessible to search engines. However, the Vendor gives no guarantee that the site will become listed with search engines.
 
If an error or issue with the design or code arises during the project, which does not allow the design or code to match the original specification, then the Client agrees that the Vendor can apply a nearest available alternative solution.

The Vendor at all times applies reasonable skill and care in provision of services.

On request, the Vendor can create a copy of the website on one CD to be posted to the Client on project completion. A small charge will be made to cover the cost of this, unless quoted otherwise.

Once the project is completed, the Vendor will upload the website to the Client’s live web address if included as part of a project.

After site completion, a Client or a third party of their choosing may wish to edit their website code themselves to make updates. However, the Client agrees that in so doing they assume full responsibility for any issues which occur as a result of changing the code themselves. If the Client or a third party of their choosing edits the website code and this results in functionality errors or the page displaying incorrectly, then the Vendor reserves the right to quote for work to repair the website.

The Vendor reserves the right to assign subcontractors in whole or as part of a project if needed.

The Vendor will keep a copy of the site and design source files when a website project is being worked on.
