The following terms and conditions apply to all website development/design services provided by SF Webdesign Limited (SFWEB) to the Client.

​

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 SF Webdesign Limited are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. SF Webdesign Limited 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 thirty-three (33) percent of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. A second charge of thirty-three (33) percent is required after the development stage, with the remaining thirty-three (33) percent of the project quotation total due upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of materials.

​

Payment for services is due by cheque, PayPal or bank transfer. Cheques should be made payable to SF Webdesign Limited and sent to SF Webdesign Limited, 27 Throgmorton Road, Yateley, Hants, GU46 6FA. Bank details will be made available on invoices.

​

3. Client Review

SF Webdesign Limited 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 SF Webdesign Limited otherwise within ten (10) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.

​

4. Turnaround Time and Content Control

SF Webdesign Limited 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 SF Webdesign Limited receiving initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by SF Webdesign Limited.

​

In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid SF Webdesign Limited with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner.

​

During the project, SF Webdesign Limited will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies and sound files.

​

5. Failure to provide required website content

SF Webdesign Limited 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 Optimisation we need the text content for your site in advance 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.

​

You can choose to look after your website after the build yourself or pay an agreed management fee for SF Webdesign Limited.

​

6. Payment

Invoices will be provided by SF Webdesign Limited upon completion but before publishing the live website. Invoices are normally sent via email; however, the Client may choose to receive hard copy invoices. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed a service charge in the amount of the higher of one and one-half percent (1.5%) or £30 per month of the total amount due.

​

7. Additional Expenses

The client agrees to reimburse SF Webdesign Limited for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the work. Examples would be the purchase of special fonts, stock photography, etc.

​

8. Web Browsers

SF Webdesign Limited Limited makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 & 9, Google Chrome, etc.). The client agrees that SF Webdesign Limited cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.

SF Webdesign Limited cannot accept responsibility for web pages that do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, SF Webdesign Limited reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software.

​

9. Default

Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on SF Webdesign Limited's Web space, SF Webdesign Limited will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. SF Webdesign Limited is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client's account. Cheques returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of £25 and the Client's account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay SF Webdesign Limited reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by SF Webdesign Limited in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.
