What do both parties agree to do?
As our client, you have the power to enter into this contract on behalf of your company organisation. You agree to provide us with everything necessary to complete the project including logo, text, images, link(s) to social media, hosting credentials, domain credentials, email credentials and any other information we request as we need it, and in the format we require. We wish to avoid any delays. Delays work both ways and you as well will be bound by any dates / timelines that we set out in this agreement. You also agree to adhere to the payment schedule outlined in this agreement.
We have the experience and the ability to perform the requested services and will carry out our work in a professional and timely manner. We cannot be held responsible for a missed website launch date or deadline if you’ve not provided all content and/or revisions on time.
01. Timeline
Our estimated time required to complete your website is stated on your website project proposal, and is determined from your official project commencement date. We will commence the work after we have received a signed contract and the non-refundable initial deposit payment of 50%. Please also keep in mind that we rely on you and your team to provide us with necessary assets (including but not limited to website text, photos, social media, products, services, pricing etc.), and approvals in order for us to work on your website, and to avoid impacting your website launch date.
02. Error Review
We provide you with a 7 day window from the date of website migration to your live domain for error review. This does not include new website revisions, but errors that may have occurred during migration. It is your responsibility as the client to review your website during this time and point out any errors that need to be corrected. Any website issues or errors acknowledged after the 7 days, will be charged at our hourly rate of $150 AUD.
03. Migration of Website
Once the project deliverables have been approved, we require full payment of your remaining balance before migrating your website onto your hosting. From the time the website is completed and ready for launch, you have a maximum of 30 days to provide us with your hosting and domain information. If that information is not provided, there’s a possibility the website will be removed from our server without notice. Extensions can be provided upon written request.
04. Recommended Hosting
We recommend utilising one of our monthly hosting and maintenance packages (outlined below) in order to ensure we are able to maintain the professional website that we have created for you.
Bronze (2GB) = $29 | Silver (5GB) = $49 | Gold (10GB) = $69 | Platinum (15GB) = $89
If utilising an alternative hosting provider, you are responsible for the management and maintenance of your hosting and domain at all times. Aether Designs is not responsible for hosting services provided by an alternative provider.
05. Recommended Domain Registry
1 Year of domain registration is included in all builds (if the client does not already have a domain name). When renewing your domain name, we strongly recommend utilising one of our domain registration options (outlined below) in order to ensure we are able to manage and quickly and efficiently action any DNS alterations required at future dates.
1 Year = $40 | 2 Years = $70 | 3 Years = $100 | 4 Years = $125 | 5 Years = $160
If utilising an alternative domain provider, you are responsible for the management and renewal of your domain at all times. Aether Designs is not responsible for domain services provided by an alternative provider or any errors due to failure to renew your domain(s).
