Terms

terms and condition

I would rather operate without the need for defined terms and conditions but unfortunately I have no choice. If there is any term or condition that prevents you from dealing with me,

I will look at it, and if reasonable, will confirm in writing its exclusion as part of our agreement.

The following terms and conditions apply to all design and associated services offered by WP Editor, freelance WordPress editor. By ordering services from WP Editor,

you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

Ethical Issues

I reserve the right to refuse to provide services for a company or associated services which does not accord with my ethical policy or that I judge to be unfit due to content or otherwise.

This includes, but is not limited by, companies or sites containing or promoting adult oriented material such as pornography, companies or sites which promote hatred towards persons belonging to any ethnic group, religion or sexual orientation and companies or sites which infringe copyright or are contrary to UK or other relevant national or local laws or regulations.

Contract Commencement

The contract between WP Editor and the client shall consist of the quotation with its specifications and these terms and conditions.

It may not be necessary to have a signature for the contract to commence, verbal communication, email communication or other exchange making it clear that the work specified is required to be carried out shall constitute commencement of the contract and a contractual agreement between the client and WP Editor shall exist based on the quotation with its specifications and these terms and conditions.

WP Editor cannot always guarantee to start work immediately on a commission but will arrange a date with the client as to when work can commence if an immediate start is not available. An anticipated finishing date will be agreed and WP Editor will do his best to adhere to that but cannot guarantee to do so in the light of circumstances outside its control.

Where in the instance that a time scale has been agreed, WP Editor will not be responsible for any consequential losses to the client if the deadline is not met.

Web Design Standards, Accessibility

WP Editor makes every effort to design web pages to current web standards and thus display well in the most popular current browsers, but cannot accept responsibility for pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of non-web standard browsers. One version of the website will be created that will display well in all web-standard browsers and at all usual display resolutions.

Supply of Content by the Client

The client undertakes to inform us prior to commencement of the project if there is a critical requirement to meet specific performance criteria.

If, during the development, the client does not supply the content required in order to complete the commission within the anticipated time frame, WP Editor will invoice up to the full amount quoted. When the content is supplied there may be additional time costs involved due to the overrun of the project which impinges on the ability of WP Editor to service other clients.

Copyright

All material, both text and images, supplied by the client and used in the construction of the client’s project, will remain the client’s property. All such material will be assumed to be the property of the client and free to use without fear of breach of copyright laws. The client shall indemnify WP Editor against all and any claims arising from the use of materials of any sort provided by the client or obtained under the direction of the client from third parties such as graphic designers.

Testimonial, Reference and Links

WP Editor retains the right to display graphics and other Web design elements as examples of their work in their respective portfolios. WP Editor retain the right to refer other prospective clients to your website as testimonial or reference material, or for use on his own portfolio. A charge of 10% of the project fee is applied, on request, to completely remove any reference to WP Editor from the sites’ scripts and codebase and for non-inclusion on the Portfolio page of this website. This can be requested post-site delivery and/or launch. Removal of any reference without the additional fee or permission will be treated as a breach to these terms.

Search Engine Submission and Results

WP Editor will submit a client’s website to the major search engines if agreed in the proposal. Further work based on keyword popularity analysis, search engine optimisation based specifically around your organisation and its ‘competition’ is best carried out by specialist contractors or through an additional service offered by WP Editor. This can be arranged but is not part of the contract unless specifically included in the quotation/proposal. Any subsequent amendments to the website as a result of professional analysis may be charged to the client.

WP Editor can accept no responsibility or liability if any search engine, online directory or search site chooses not to list a client’s web site.

Payment

Payment terms are strictly 30 days unless otherwise agreed. Whilst any payment due under the agreement remains outstanding, WP Editor shall be entitled at its sole and absolute discretion to withhold provision of any goods or services it would otherwise be obliged to provide under the agreement. WP Editor expects payment by PayPal within 30 days of the date on the invoice. Payment will be made in Pounds Stirling.

In accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998 interest will be charged on all payments received outside of payment terms at the rate of eight per cent above the Bank of England Base Rate as applicable on the previous 31 December or 30 June whichever is the most recent. In case collection proves necessary, the client agrees to pay all fees (including all legal fees and court costs) incurred by that process.

If for any reason whatsoever I am unable to provide an agreed product or service in accordance with these terms and conditions my liability shall be limited in its entirety to a proportional refund of any fees paid by you for the service or product.

Website Maintenance

Where WP Editor undertakes to maintain or update a client’s website a system of communication will be established that meets the needs of both the client and of WP Editor to carry out the maintenance to a service level agreed.

WP Editor will no longer be responsible for the site upon completion unless an alternative agreement has been reached. WP Editor will allow of a revision prior to payment. All errors notified to WP Editor will involve costs in making such changes will be charged to the client.

Unforeseen and Additional Costs and Expenses

Additional costs incurred in the provision of: stock photography; electronic commerce software; online transaction processing solutions; domain name registration; web space; Internet connection provided by third parties are non refundable.

Additional features to websites, including extra database services, specific hosting requirements, animations that are not included in the quotation are subject to surcharge. In the event a feature is required which has not been included in the quotation WP Editor will give notice prior to implementation and seek acceptance of the surcharge. The cost will be added to the final invoice unless the amount exceeds £500 in which case an interim half will be invoiced before implementation and the remainder will be added to the final invoice.

Domain Name Research and Registration

Where the client requests WP Editor to research and register a domain name the domain name will always be the property and in the control of the client. If, for whatever reason, this is not possible then the client will be informed of the fact. All fees and costs incurred will be payable by the client.

Website Hosting Services

Hosting services – where your website is stored on a server for delivery to website visitors – and email services are provided under a contract between the client and the chosen hosting and email provider (Internet Service Provider (ISP)) and will be bound by the terms and conditions of that ISP.

WP Editor makes no commission on such recommendations or services and in recommending an ISP does so in good faith and cannot under any circumstances be held responsible or liable for any shortcomings or losses incurred as part of that contract.

Data Protection

Where the operation of the website or other services provided by WP Editor involves the collection and administration of personal data the client is deemed to be the Data Controller and as such is responsible for notification under the terms of the Data Protection Acts and related regulations.

WP Editor can arrange the required notification and the current fee for Notification and time and other costs will be payable by the client.

The client shall indemnify WP Editor against any actions, costs and liabilities arising from the use in good faith by WP Editor of personal data provided by the client or through the client’s website / promotional material.

Where Project involves e-commerce functionality, the client must ensure that suitable arrangements are in place to maximise security levels with regard to financial and personal information relating to the users of the website and other services. This may necessitate the use of secure electronic protocols, authentication certificates, encryption et cetera and may require the provision of secure server facilities and/or the use of a credit card clearing service.

Where a service is provided relating to e-commerce whereby visitors to the client’s website can order goods or services through the website – whether through direct or indirect payment the client undertakes to ensure that all transactions are carried out legally and fairly, that the security of personal information and of financial information is maintained and that the collection and control of that data meets the requirements of the Data Protection Acts and regulations.

Sub-Contracting

If necessary WP Editor reserves the right, and the client hereby agrees, to allow the use of sub-contractors or agents to work on any aspect of the design or website. This can include requirements for the project outside the skillset of WP Editor, such as 3D rendering, animation or database architecture as an example.

Consequential Losses
