Definitions

1. “Developer” refers to Well Woven Websites.
2. “Client” refers to the buyer of services from the Developer and, where applicable, to any representatives or agents of, or parties associated to, such buyer of services.
3. “Party” shall refer to either Developer or Client, as applicable, and “Parties” to Developer and Client together.
4. “Project” refers to the website to be developed by the Developer for the Client, as agreed between the Parties.
5. “Developer’s Website” refers to the Well Woven Websites website, www.wellwovenwebsites.co.uk, and all content in any of its pages, as applicable.

Terms of Business

1. Quotations are valid for one month from date of issue.
2. A deposit, as stated in the Developer’s Website (the “Deposit”), is required before the Developer carries out any work. The Deposit may only be waived, at the Developer’s discretion, by written agreement between the Parties. The Deposit is non-refundable, except in the following circumstances:
   - the Client notifies the Developer by email that it wishes to cancel the Project, no later than 24 hours before the work is to be commenced;
   - the Developer is unable to complete the Project, except if such inability is due to Client intervention or lack thereof, or to force majeure.
3. Payment of the Deposit by the Client does not oblige the Developer to carry out any work not expressly agreed beforehand.
4. The balance is due within 10 working days of the completion of the Project.
5. In the event the Client alters any agreed specifications of the Project during its development, additional fees may be required and the timescale for completion of the Project may be extended.
6. The Developer may, at its discretion, offer free domain registration and hosting commencing from the date of first registration of the domain by the Developer. The Developer shall not be responsible for the loss of a domain name if the Client fails to pay timely for the renewal of such domain. Once the period of free hosting as offered by the Developer expires, the Developer shall charge a reasonable rate to continue hosting the site. The Client is under no obligation to continue purchasing domain renewal or hosting services from the Developer.
7. The Developer may, at its discretion, offer free maintenance and support commencing from the day of completion of the Project by the Developer. Once such offer has expired, the Client may continue to purchase maintenance and support from the Developer on an ongoing basis. Alternatively, maintenance and support can be purchased as and when needed, at a price to be quoted by the Developer. The Client is under no obligation to purchase further support or maintenance from the Developer. The Client hereby acknowledges that the Developer shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for any consequences arising from any activity whatsoever of maintenance or support of the Project, at any time, by any party other than the Developer (a “Non-Developer Intervention”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Developer is not obliged to intervene to repair, amend or correct any problems or malfunction consequent to a Non-Developer Intervention. If the Developer agrees to intervene after a Non-Developer Intervention, it shall be subject to fees to be agreed, regardless of any maintenance and support arrangements that may be in place at the time.
8. The Developer shall employ best efforts to attempt to match any graphic design it is given for the Project as closely as technically possible when building the Project code. Nevertheless, the Client acknowledges that any page built from a graphic design may not exactly match such graphic design because of differences in the rendering of code by different internet browser software.
9. The Developer shall employ best efforts to ensure the Project can be viewed by the majority of visitors. Projects are designed to work with the latest releases of the main browsers: Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer. Tests are carried out with older browsers to ensure as much compatibility as possible, but the Developer cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across all operating systems.
10. The Developer endeavours to create pages that can be crawled efficiently by search engine spiders and will ensure that the major search engines are aware of the existence of the website. However, the Developer gives no guarantee that the site will continue being listed with such search engines; the Client is responsible for ensuring that the Project has back-links to other known websites on the internet in order to remain part of the World Wide Web.
11. Whilst the the Developer shall endeavour to ensure the Project is built to the requirements specified by the Client, the Developer makes no warranties with regard to the Project and its contents concerning the fitness of services offered for a particular purpose. The Developer cannot warrant that the contents are current, accurate or complete.

Copyright

1. All pages, images, text and code on the Developer's website are copyrighted material.
2. Copyright of the completed web design and any images, pages, code and source files created by the Developer for the Project shall remain with the Developer unless agreed otherwise by the Parties in writing.
3. The Client agrees that resale or distribution of the completed files is forbidden unless prior written agreement is made between the Client and the Developer. Any transfer of copyright from the Developer may be subject to an agreed fee.
4. The Client agrees that the Developer may include development credits and links within any code the Developer designs, builds or amends, and that these links may be visible on the final design.
5. The Client agrees that the Developer reserves the right to include any work in its portfolio.

Indemnification

1. The Client agrees to use all services and facilities provided by the Developer at their own risk. The Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Developer harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, costs, losses and claims against the Developer or any of its associates that may arise directly or indirectly from any services provided.
2. The Client also agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Developer against any liabilities arising out of injury to person or property caused by any service provided or agreed to be provided or any product or service sold by the Client or third parties, including but not limited to, infringement of copyright, infringement of proprietary rights, misinformation, delivery of defective products or services which are harmful to any person, business, company or organisation.
