TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROPOSED WORK (OR PROPOSAL OR AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT)
Between “us; we; our” (XLWITHUS Learning) and “you; your; yours; your company” (Your Company Name).
1.0 SERVICES RENDERED
DESIGN
We’ll deliver a digital marketing system with built-in lead generation strategies and monthly managed services. After the system is approved, all associated content will be delivered within the presented schedule as per the ‘Timeframe’ section of the proposal.
TEXT CONTENT
Writing any text copy is not included in this contract/proposal. You must provide your write-up to us in a format that can be copied/pasted (Word or text file) and NOT as a picture file. Though we would not mind fixing a word here and there as our eyes fall on them, please note that ‘proofreading’ is also a separate service. If you’d like us to write new content or proofread, we’re happy to provide separate estimates for these. It’s solely on the discretion of the company to provide these as ‘bonus’ services.
PHOTOGRAPHS & VIDEOS
All graphic files you provide to us must be of a ‘very good’ to ‘great’ quality (at least 1280 x 720). You’ll need to supply graphic files to us in an editable, vector digital format. Photographs must be in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries and style of photography/images. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that. Cost of buying stock photographs or a photo shoot is not included in this contract. It’s solely on the discretion of the company to provide/produce videos/photographs as ‘bonus’ services.
MINIMAL CODING
We use minimal front-end coding by using advanced builders, tools and widgets. This makes your website highly editable and free of the potential mess of injecting direct code.
BROWSER TESTING & MOBILE RESPONSIVENESS
We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers (Safari, Chrome, Explorer, Firefox) as well as on mobile devices and their systems (iOS, Android) to ensure full mobile responsiveness.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We’re not a website hosting company so we don’t offer support for website hosting, email or other services relating to hosting. You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at one of our preferred hosting providers through which your website will be set up on the associated server. Our monthly maintenance/retainer fee may or may not cover domain and hosting renewal.
CHANGES AND REVISIONS
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind or make decisions later when you might be better informed or as natural change occurs. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the length of time we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, small, superficial revisions after launch forms part of our contract. Though we quote these revisions as ‘unlimited’ we reserve the right to limit the revisions if requests become unreasonably frequent. that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for to cover the additional work. All of our prices for website creation/design refer to a website with 5 or less WordPress pages and we’ll always recommend a design/template on these pages that is proven to ‘work’. Though we strongly recommend that clients do not deviate from this design, clients may request minimal tweaks in tune with their ‘flavor’. Any significant design changes or requests for more than 5 pages and/or pages lengthier than pages with at least a 1-inch scroll bar (as per an average sized laptop) will attract an additional charge determined by the current costing factors.
ERRORS
We can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free (we’re human :)) so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, arising out of an error.
