Schedule 1 – Schedule of Services

(A) Website design and development

  • 2. Any material variations to the Proposal must be made in accordance with clause 5 of these terms and your attention is specifically drawn to clause 5.1.
  • 3. The Project Milestones are contained within Proposal. Subject to clause 6.4, we shall obtain your written acceptance of the design and build completed to that milestone before we consider that Project Milestone to be complete, such written acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. We cannot accept liability for any errors which have not been communicated to us prior to your acceptance of the Project Milestone.
  • 4. Should you require any changes to be made to your website following completion of the Project Milestone as set out in paragraph 3 above, this may result in us invoicing you for additional charges on a time and material basis as set out in clause 6.2.
  • 5. Website design and development does not include website content, that remains your responsibility at all times. If we agree to carry out content migration or population, you must provide your content to us in a digital format, subject to prior written agreement otherwise. If the content is not provided in a digital format, a further charge may be made in accordance with clause 6.2. We shall advise you in advance of incurring these charges.
  • 6. You confirm your agreement to the inclusion of a design credit link attributed to us on your completed website. The wording of the credit and associated anchor link may be changed from time to time. If you wish to have this link removed, we may charge an additional sum of up to 10% of the charges payable for the Project for its removal.

  • 8. We shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the website will function correctly when viewed using the latest versions of chromium-based Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
  • 9. If the Project is delayed from being delivered pursuant to Project Milestones or any agreed schedule due to your acts or omissions, we may charge you additional fees. This will be applicable, for example, if the Project has stalled due to you failing to provide instructions to us promptly when reasonably requested or you otherwise fail to communicate with us or if there are requests from you to change the scope of the Project that were not in the original Proposal or if we are having to provide more support to your team than was originally anticipated.
  • 10. Some of our proposals are subject to a scoping session to further define your requirements. If this applies, it will be outlined in your Proposal.
  • 11. Throughout the Project, if any changes arise, we will determine if it is a ‘change request’ and therefore outside the scope of the original Proposal.
(B) Website hosting
  • 1. Your use of our website hosting service is subject to the condition that such use is reasonable and not excessive in nature. It shall be considered excessive if it risks the performance of the server and hosting resources for use by our other clients.
