Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance

It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote, then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full. Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.

2. Charges

Charges for services to be provided by AD-IOS Web Development are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. AD-IOS Web Development reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after expiry of the 30 days. Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all website design services require an advance payment of a minimum of fifty (50) percent of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. A second charge of fifty (50) percent is required after the development stage (demo) for the site to ever be released live to the servers.

3. Client Review

AD-IOS Web Development will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall website development is completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies AD-IOS Web Development otherwise within seven (7) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client. Within this 7 day window, AD-IOS Web Development will allow up to 10 hours of modifications to be made to be absorbed into the original cost of the project. Work beyond this scope will be presented to the client as additional project expense estimates.

4. Turnaround Time and Content Control

AD-IOS Web Development will install and publicly post or supply the Client’s website by the date specified in the project proposal, or at date agreed with Client upon AD-IOS Web Development receiving initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by AD-IOS Web Development . In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid AD-IOS Web Development with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner. During the project, AD-IOS Web Development will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies, and sound files. Our basic website builds include a maximum amount of development hours of 60. After these hours have been utilized the client will be charged an hourly rate of $75 for continued development.

5. Failure to provide required website content:

AD-IOS Web Development is a small business, to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions we may have to reject offers for other work and inquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged. This is why we ask that you provide all the required information in advance. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%. If your project involves Search Engine Optimization, we need the text content for your site in advance (or indication we need to create) so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently. If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do within one week of project commencement, we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this. Using our content management system, you are able to keep your content up to date yourself.
