Terms & conditions of Projects

  • Payment Terms: We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. You agree to stick to the following payment schedule.

Project Payments

  1. Deposit Payment: You should pay us the initiation payment equal to 50% of the project total cost.
  2. Final payment: Once we have completed* our side of the work, we will invoice you for the remaining 50% project cost immediately on completion of our work (or within 90 days of project start date, whichever comes first).
  3. Handover: Once the final balance has cleared, we will launch your website, usually within 48 hours and email you with the login details to your website hosting control panel.
*Delayed or stalled project clause
  • The site is “complete” when the site is developed, not when the content is ready, which means the payment will be due when we’ve done our part. (If you need our help creating content, text and photos to populate your website, we can provide a separate estimate for this).
  • If the project is delayed, and we are not responsible, you will still have to pay the final balance within 90 days of the project start date, which is plenty of time to reach all the project milestones, plus some extra leeway for the unexpected things that might come up and cause delays.
  • If the project is not signed off and paid in full by the client, we reserve the right to delete all files relating to the project within 120 days of the project start date.

Design

  • We create look-and-feel designs, and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes.
  • We create designs iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we won’t waste time mocking up every web page as a static visual. We may use static visuals to indicate a look-and-feel direction (colour, texture and typography.) We call them ‘design mockups’.
  • You’ll have two or more weekly opportunities to review our work and provide feedback.
  • If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for everything we’ve produced until that point and cancel this contract.

Text content

  • We’re not responsible for writing any text copy, unless you have ordered the copy-writing service. (If you’d like us to write new content for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that)

Photographs

  • You should supply graphic & logo files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.

Copyrights

  • First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you provide are either owned by your good selves, or that you’ve got permission to use them. Then, when your final payment has cleared, copyright will be automatically assigned as follows:
    • You will own the visual elements that we create for this project.
    • We’ll provide you the source files and finished files on request, and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy.
    • You own all elements of text, images and data you provided, unless someone else owns them.
    • We will own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we’ll license that you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this single project only, unless we agree otherwise. We can provide a separate estimate for that.
  • We love to show off our work and share what we’ve learned with other people, so we reserve the right, with your permission, to display and link to your project as part of our portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles and in books.

Domain names

  • If we have registered a domain name on your behalf, or you have transferred your domain to our management, then you will retain full ownership of the domain as long as you are up to date with your domain name renewal payments which are paid yearly in advance.
  • Failure to pay your annual domain name renewal fees within 30 days will result in your domain either expiring, so that neither us or you can control it anymore and it will return to the market for sale in 45 days. In some situations where the renewal fee is not paid within 30 days, we may choose to pay your renewal fee, which would give us legal ownership of the domain name.
  • If you have registered your domain or in situations where we were managing your domain name and you requested for us to transfer the control of the domain over to you: You have the responsibility to renew, pay for and manage your domain name, and we can not accept responsibility if your domain is not renewed in time and goes into expiry mode.

Legal stuff

Project Timescales

  • On acceptance of a website design, website development or design project, we require all content to be delivered to us promptly and in a single document containing all text that is required on the website; additionally, any images, videos or media content should be delivered to us in a compressed/zip folder via email or using a file transfer service such as wetransfer.com.
  • On receipt of the project deposit payment and upon receipt of all the content (text and media) that is required for the project, we will commence work on your project and we will provide a mockup or website demo within one calendar month.
  • Changes or additions to the content, after we have started work on the project will result in extra charges not covered in the initial quotation, and will change our delivery date of the site to one calendar month from the date of requested changes or additions.
  • In light of the stalled project clause above, we kindly request you have all content finalised and ready to deliver to us promptly after accepting the project.
  • Minor amendments to the design, such as adjustments to colours and font sizes will be processed as quickly as possible with the aim of providing the changes within five working days, major adjustments beyond the scope of the original quote will be quoted-for separately.

The small print

  • We can’t 100% guarantee that our work will be error-free and 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, even if you’ve advised us of them.
  • Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
  • Just like a parking ticket, you can’t transfer this contract to anyone else without our permission.
  • This contract stays in place and need not be renewed.
  • If for some reason one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place.
  • Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of [English and Welsh] courts.

  7. There are no refunds on any VPS (Virtual Private server), dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases. Refund requests for shared and reseller accounts after the initial 30 days will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time.
    1. Resource Usage – User may not:
      1. Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
      2. Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
      3. Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
      4. Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
      5. Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. Please note that you may link to torrents off server, but may not host or store them.
      6. Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
      7. Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield 1942, etc
      8. Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes

      When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include (“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include (“include.php”)

    2. INODES – The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension.The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then”Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here
    3. Mysql DISK Usag e- All though Alloy Marketing Ltd offers unlimited MYSQL databases along with our shared web hosting plans, we limit the TOTAL disk usage for ALL mysql databases per account to 1 GB. This is to avoid one particular account from filling up our /var partition (where mysql databases are hosted) and using up the disk space.
  8. Bandwidth Usage – You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we will inform you in advance but also reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
    1. Moneyback Guarantee – Each of AlloyMarketing.co.uk managed shared and reseller servers carry a 30 days unconditional money back guarantee on them. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 30 days of your service, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount. Remember, this is only for monthly shared or reseller packages and does not apply to dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases.
    2. Uptime Guarantee – If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of AlloyMarketing.co.uk dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact billing@AlloyMarketing.co.uk with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not related to our uptime guarantee. The total credit applicable would never be more than one month’s hosting charges paid by the customer at any time and for whatever reason.
    3. Hardware Failure – The AlloyMarketing hosting provider’s engineers monitor the Servers round the clock to avoid downtime due to server load or network. However, Hardware Failure is an uncontrollable disaster for which compensation is not applicable. During such occurence, downtime can extend from 24-48 hours due to hardware and software replacement and data restoration though this is very rare.
  9. Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semi dedicated Servers – Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people
  10. Dedicated Servers – AlloyMarketing.co.uk reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. AlloyMarketing.co.uk reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this. You may purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it as the simplest solution. Please contact sales@AlloyMarketing.co.uk if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.
  11. Price Change – The amount you pay for hosting will never increase from the date of purchase. We do reserve the right to change prices listed on AlloyMarketing.co.uk, and the right to increase the amount of resources given to plans at any time.
