1. Authorization.
The named client is engaging C-Level-Design, as an independent contractor
for the specific web design project of developing and/or improving a web
site, hereinafter referred
to as "web design project" which may be installed on the
client's account on an Internet Service Provider (ISP) / Web Presence
Provider (WPP) computer, hereinafter refer to as "Hosting Service" if
required to perform services. If required to perform services the
client hereby authorizes C-Level-Design to access this
account and authorizes the Hosting Service to provide C-Level-Design with "full access" to the client's account and
any other programs needed for this web design
project that are included as part of the client's service agreement/level.
2.Acceptable Use.
An acceptable use policy is part of these terms
and conditions of hosting any information associated with the domain
name. This is necessary because the proliferation of abusive electronic
mail and practices generated by a minority of the Internet users
can interrupt services. The exhibit with the description of the acceptable
use policy is posted on our website and the exhibit is part of these
terms and conditions.
3. Copyright and Trademarks.
The client unconditionally guarantees that
any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other
artwork furnished to C-Level-Design for inclusion in the
web design project are owned by the client, or that the client has
permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements,
and will hold harmless, protect and defend C-Level-Design
and its subcontractors from any claim or suit arising from the use
of such elements furnished by the client.
4. Web Site Maintenance.
This agreement allows for minor web site maintenance
to pages over a 1-month period, up to an average of one half hour
per regular web site, including updating lines and making minor changes
to a sentence or paragraph. It does not include updating or replacing
nearly all the text from a page with new text, major page reconstruction,
new pages, guest books, discussion webs, navigation structure changes,
attempted updates by client repairs or web design projects delivered
to the client via diskette. The period of 1 month begins on the date
the clients web design site has been published to client's hosting
service or 30 days from the date this agreement was signed, which
ever comes first. If the client's web design package includes database
access using Server Side Script, then very minor page code changes
will be accepted under this maintenance plan. Major page code and/or
database structural changes will be charged at current hourly rates.
5. Completion Date.
C-Level-Design and the client must
work together to complete the web design project in a timely manner.
We agree to work expeditiously to complete the web design project
no later than 45 days after the client has submitted all necessary
materials. If the client does not supply C-Level-Design
with complete text and graphic content for this web design project
within 60 days of the date this agreement was signed, the entire
amount of the agreement becomes due and payable. If the client still
has not submitted all the required contents within 90 days after
signing this agreement, an additional continuation fee of 15% of
the total agreement price will be assessed for each month until the
web design project is published or the client cancels the web design
project in writing.
6. Project Delivery.
The web site design project delivery shall
be completed upon receipt of the payment associated with delivery.
Delivery may be accomplished by publishing, electronic transfer,
or physical media. The client understands that C-Level-Design
may not be providing any hosting services in connection with this
web design project. Hosting services may require a separate contract.
The client will be solely responsible for all hosting service charges.
The client assumes all responsibility for the use and functionality
of the web design project.
7. Publishing:
If the Project Delivery includes publishing,
C-Level-Design will make a good faith effort
to accommodate client's requested method of publishing. In the
event C-Level-Design is not able to accommodate the request method
of publishing
the following statements apply. If publishing
to a hosting service is not feasible the information may be delivered
on diskette or CDROM.
8. Electronic Commerce Laws.
The client agrees that the client is solely
responsible for complying with such laws, taxes and tariffs, and
will hold harmless, protect, and defend C-Level-Design
and its subcontractors from any claim, suit, penalty, tax or tariff
arising from the client's exercise of Internet electronic commerce.
9. Web Design Project Copyright.
Original web site content specifically requested
by the customer and designed under work for hire shall be the intellectual
property of the customer once final payment under this agreement
and any additional charges incurred have been paid. Rights to clipart,
photos, graphics, source code, work-up files and computer programs
that are not specifically requested and designed under work for hire
are not transferred to the client, and remain the property of their
respective owners. C-Level-Design and its subcontractors
retain the right to display graphics and other web design elements
as examples of their work in their respective portfolios.
10. Payments.
Payments must be made promptly based on the
agreed schedule. Delinquent bills can be assessed a $15 charge if
payment is not received within 10 days of the due date. If an amount
remains delinquent 30 days after its due date, an additional 5% penalty
can be added for each month of delinquency. C-Level-Design
reserves the right to remove any web design project from viewing
on the Internet until final payment is made. In case collection proves
necessary, the client agrees to pay all fees incurred by that process.
This agreement becomes effective only when signed by an authorized
representative C-Level-Design. Regardless of the place
of signing of this agreement, the client agrees that for purposes
of venue, this agreement was entered into in Cocoa, Florida, US and
any dispute will be litigated or arbitrated in Cocoa Florida, US.
Please pay on time. All payments will be made in US $ funds unless
agreed upon in writing by both parties.
11. Legal Notice.
C-Level-Design does not warrant that
the functions contained in the web design project will be uninterrupted
or error-free. The entire risk as to the quality and performance
of the web design project is with the client. In no event will C-Level-Design be liable to the client or any third party for
any damages, including, but not limited to service interruptions
caused by Acts of God or any other circumstances beyond our control,
any lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential
or special damages arising out of the operation of or inability to
operate this web design project, failure of any service provider,
of any telecommunications carrier, of the Internet backbone, of any
Internet servers, your or site visitor's computer or Internet software,
even if C-Level-Design has been advised of the possibility
of such damages.
12. This Agreement.
This agreement constitutes the sole agreement
between C-Level-Design and the client regarding this web
design project. Any additional work not specified in this contract
must be authorized by a written request. All prices specified in
this contract will be honored for 3 months after both parties sign
this contract. Continued services after that time will require a
new agreement. This agreement supersedes any prior written or oral
agreements between the parties.
13. Amendment.
This agreement may be modified or amended if
the amendment is made in writing and is signed by both parties.
14. Severability.
If any provision of this agreement shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court
finds that any provision of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable,
but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable,
then such provision shall be deemed written, construed, and enforced
as so limited.
15. Waiver of Contractual Right.
The failure of either party to enforce any
provision of this agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of
limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel
strict compliance with every provision of this agreement.
16. Governing Law.
This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the Sate of Arizona and the Federal Laws
of the United States of America applicable
therein without reference to rules governing
choice of laws. Any action relating to this
agreement must be brought in Maricopa County
Arizona and you irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction of such courts.
