It is the Clients sole responsibility to ensure that the information supplied for those areas are suitable for such use.
While we do not routinely screen content before it is added to the Website, We reserve the right to do so, and We may refuse to include and/or remove any Website Content or remove a Website from the Internet without notice if We believe the said content falls into prohibited categories described herein.
It is the Clients sole responsibility to ensure that The Website, and the Content displayed on The Website is legal to view in all areas, countries and territories in which The Website will be available to view, and does not contain any Material which We consider to be adult, pornographic, defamatory, libellous, racist, hateful, harassing, threatening, abusive, humiliating, mis-reprsentational, confidential, invasive to privacy, impersonating a person or other entity, infringing copyright, containing malware, obscene, vulgar, unlawful, harmful, and/or incites injury and/or violence, and/or racism, contributes to and/or facilitates crime and/or criminal activities, and/or is in any other way objectionable. We reserve the right to reject any Material that We find objectionable, without giving reason, whether or not a Contract has been agreed. This clause also applies to all other Work, including but not limited to Maintenance, and shall also apply if the Client, or a Third Party acting on the Client’s behalf updates the Website.
The Client agrees that any Website Content, including but not limited to text, images and files, will be screened by the Client for suitability for inclusion as set out herein, and the Client shall be wholly responsible for ensuring that all such content is accurate, up-to-date, and complete.
The Client agrees that at all times, they may not do, say, publish and/or transmit in any form, any materials or Content that brings Us into disrepute.
The Client agrees that all materials and Content published will be available to the public, and as the Content shall exist in the public domain, it is likely to be read and indexed on search engines, directories, and/or other Internet based services that may ‘cache’ a copy of the content. The Client agrees that they understand that these ‘cached’ copies of the Content may remain available online for some time after the ‘live’ Content is removed from the Internet. The Client agrees that We have no control over this process.
Design Revisions
The Design Revision section shall only apply to The Process of creating a Commissioned Website.
Upon our receipt of cleared funds for the Deposit, We will design one (1) provisional design for the Client to see. At this stage the Client can request a reasonable number of revisions to that provisional design.
Once We have put any design revision(s) in place, the provisional design will then become the final design. The Deposit paid pays for the Work that has been completed up to the point where the provisional design is made available for The Client to see. Should the Client decide to cancel The Process after design revisions have been made, there may be additional charges due in accordance with our cancellations policy.
We reserve the right to decide what constitutes a reasonable number of design revision requests, based on the complexity of The Website, the size of The Website, and the invoice amount.
Website Maintenance
The Website Maintenance section shall only apply to The Process of Maintenance.
Where We are to perform website Maintenance for The Client, the Client shall be invoiced for the time We spend on that Work.
We reserve the right to commence Work only after cleared funds have been received by Us for the Work.
Work for website Maintenance shall be charged in units of one (1) minute, with a ten (10) minute minimum. The fee for Maintenance Work will be in accordance with any fees shown on Our Website, with one (1) minute units being charged at one-sixtieth (1/60) of any hourly rate shown . Where fees are not shown, it is The Clients sole responsibility to ensure they contact Us for the latest fees.
The Client shall agree that We shall be solely responsible for the timekeeping of Maintenance Work, and that when the time spent by Us on Maintenance Work equates to the equivalent time in Maintenance fees paid by the Client, the Client will deem the Contract to be satisfied, fulfilled and ended.
The fees shown on Our Website for Maintenance Work may change at any time and without notice.
We reserve the right to request the owner of a website for which we do Maintenance Work to display a hyperlink to Us on their website.
We reserve the right to determine when Maintenance requested by The Client is extensive enough to warrant classifying the Work as a website redesign, thus requiring The Client to enter into a design agreement as defined under ‘Client Website' in these Terms and Conditions.
Design Exclusivity – Custom Websites
This subsection shall apply to Custom Websites purchased, or intended to be purchased from Us by the Client.
Although all Custom Website designs are built from scratch, there may be times when parts of a website design may be incorporated into The Website that do exist on other websites, and We cannot guarantee that such parts will therefore be unique. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, where the same 'icon sets', navigation elements, or Images are used on more than one website.
We also reserve the right to use such stock elements for Maintenance Work.
Design Exclusivity – Pay-as-You-Go Websites

By paying a Subscription for a Pay-as-You-Go Website, the Client is accepting that they understand this non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable nature of the designs. The Pay-as-You-Go Website designs may also contain non-exclusive components, including, but are not limited to, where the same 'icon sets', navigation elements, or Images are used by Us on more than one website.
