These terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California USA, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Los Angeles County, CA for the resolution of any action arising out of these terms.
PRODUCTION SCHEDULE/DELIVERY OF PROJECT
The client will assume any shipping or insurance costs related to the project. Any alteration or deviation from the above specifications involving extra costs will be executed only upon approval with the client. The designer shall not incur any liability or penalty for delays in the completion of the project due to actions or negligence of client, unusual transportation delays, unforeseen illness, or external forces beyond the control of the designer. If such event(s) occur, it shall entitle the designer to extend the completion/delivery date by the time equivalent to the period of such delay.
COPYRIGHT
The client guarantees that any text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to Weblid.com for inclusion in the project are owned by the client, or that the client has express permission from the rightful owner to use each of the elements, and will hold harmless, protect and defend Weblid.com and its subcontractors from any claim or suit arising from the use of such elements furnished by the client.
BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
I understand that everybody uses a different browser. I test your website to ensure your website renders in all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera). Older, outdated versions of these browsers (IE 6 is not supported) cannot be guaranteed.
And as a note, Internet Explorer is plain bad with too many issues. Do yourself a favor and start using a better browser. Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari are great choices and will make your internet experience very rich and enjoyable.
PROJECT START DATE
I will begin on your project on the same day after funds have been deposited into my PayPal account or as soon as a check clears.
PROTECTING YOUR FILES AND DATABASE BACKUPS
I take the necessary steps to protect the files during production by doing regular backups on an external hard drive. Once the job is complete the files are transferred to you, it’s your responsibility to keep backups of your design files as well as your database.
I offer database backup service for $40. PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible if your files are lost.
COMMUNICATION
You agree that all correspondence will be done over email. Once I begin working on your project, it’s important for you to be available as timely communication equals speedy delivery of your creative work.
If for some reason your project is delayed, I WILL start work on newer projects until I hear from you. Lack of communication simply means the project will take longer to be completed.
If you are unable to communicate, go on vacation, or have a family emergency, etc., just let me know. Please call or email and explain the situation so we’re on the same page.
In the event I do not hear from you or your associates for a period of 21 days (3 full weeks) of our last correspondence, your project will be removed from my project schedule and your payment will be forfeited.
To restart on the project, you would be responsible for the initial 50% deposit again and the remaining balance once the project is completed.
THIRD PARTY SHIPPING
In the event any material necessary for the production of the project must be shipped to a third party for additional processing, typesetting, photographic work, color separation, press work, or binding, the designer will incur no liability for losses incurred in transit, or due to the delay of the shipper of the third party.
CLAIMS PERIOD
Claims for defects, damages, and/or shortages must be made by the client in writing within a period of fifteen (15) days after completion of project. Failure to make such claim within the stated period shall constitute irrevocable acceptance and an admission that they fully comply with terms, conditions, and specifications.
PROOFING OF FINAL PROJECT
The designer shall make every effort to ensure the final product is free of any grammatical and spelling errors, before giving the final product to the client. It is agreed that it is the client’s responsibility to ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical errors contained in the final product. It is agreed that the designer is not responsible or held liable for any errors contained in the final product after the final product has been committed to print or posted in view of the public.
CANCELLATION
In the event of cancellation of the project, ownership of all copyrights and the original artwork and disks shall be retained by Weblid.com, and a fee for work completed, based on the contract price and expenses already incurred shall be paid by the client.
CONFIDENTIALITY
All correspondence and documents provided will be treated as confidential between the client and the designer, unless consent has been granted by both parties involved.
COMMUNICATION
If client stops responding to email communication for a period of thirty (30) days during the design and development process, the project will be canceled without prior notice, any monies paid will be forfeited to Weblid.com and the contract will become null and void. Projects restarted after that time will be subject to the current availability of Weblid.com, and will be re-quoted based on current rates for the services remaining.
