These are the standard terms and conditions for Website Design and Development and apply to all contracts and all work undertaken by Hi-Tech Parks ® for its clients.
It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote, then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.
Hi-Tech Parks will carry out work only where an agreement is provided either by official email, phone, or social messenger. An 'order' is deemed to be a written or verbal contract between 'Hi-Tech Parks' and the client, this includes phone, email and messenger.
Estimates provided to prospects will be honored for 30 days. A new quote will then be provided upon request. Contracts that have been written, but not signed by the client will only be accepted within 30 days of the delivery date. A new contract may be drawn up upon request.
A 50% deposit of the total fee payable under our proposal is due immediately upon your instructing us to proceed with the website design and development work. The remaining 50% shall become due when the work is completed to your reasonable satisfaction but subject to the terms of the 'approval of work' and 'rejected work' clauses. We reserve the right not to commence any work until the deposit has been paid in full.
The 50% deposit is only refundable if we have not fulfilled our obligations to deliver the work required under the agreement. The deposit is not refundable if the development work has been started and you terminate the contract through no fault of ours.
You must supply all materials and information required by us to complete the work following any agreed specifications. Such materials may include but are not limited to, photographs, written copy, logos and other printed material. Where there is any delay in supplying these materials to us which leads to a delay in the completion of work, we have the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount.
Where you fail to supply materials and that prevents the progress of the work, we have the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.
Unless otherwise agreed upon with the client, the timescale for completion of work may vary and can take from 1 to 6 months after approval of design and plan, depending on the scale of the work. Time frames for the project will be discussed with the client before the project commences. Hi-Tech Parks will do its best to complete the project as soon as reasonably possible.
For a high standard of quality to be produced, please allow sufficient time for the project to be completed. In terms of unfortunate technical issues and slow response from customers, Hi-Tech Parks take their rights to increase the timeframe multiple times.
Hi-Tech Parks requires a deposit before we begin work on any project. A request to terminate services must be presented to Hi-Tech Parks in writing. Hi-Tech Parks has a Guaranteed 90 Day Turnaround for your project. If we fail to start your project within 90 days of the start date AND you have turned in all content, images and information requested by us, you will receive a 50% refund within 30 days of your written request. Otherwise, please follow the refund terms below.
Refunds will be processed within 30 business days of request by the client if there is a refund amount due based on the terms above.
Any purchase that we made on behalf of you like domain, hosting, or other resources. The amount we spend for those is not refundable.
Hi-Tech Parks will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall project development is completed, but before uploading to a server or release of the materials to the Client. The client must inform Hi-Tech Parks of any amendments required within 7 days of design completion and within 7 days of project development completion. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved.
We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to make revisions to the design. However, we have the right to limit the number of design proposals to a reasonable amount and may charge for additional designs if you make a change to the original design specification.
Our website development phase is flexible and allows certain variations to the original specification. However, any major deviation from the specification will be charged.
Any time frames or estimates that we give are contingent upon your full co-operation and complete and final content in photography for the work pages. During development, there is a certain amount of feedback required in order to progress to subsequent phases. It is required that a single point of contact be appointed from your side and be made available on a daily basis in order to expedite the feedback process. In that phase, the timeframe can be increased in case to meet the quality and fulfilling your demands.
On completion of the work, you will be notified and have the opportunity to review it. You must notify us in writing of any unsatisfactory points within 7 days of such notification. Any of the work which has not been reported in writing to us as unsatisfactory within the 7-day review period will be deemed to have been approved. Once approved, or deemed approved, work cannot subsequently be rejected and the contract will be deemed to have been completed and the 50% balance of the project price will become due.
If you reject any of our work within the 7-day review period or do not approve subsequent work performed by us to remedy any points recorded as being unsatisfactory and we, acting reasonably, consider that you have been unreasonable in any rejection of the work, we can elect to treat this contract as at an end and take measures to recover payment for the completed work.
Upon completion of the 7-day review period, we will invoice you for the 50% balance of the project. You have to pay the total amount before the handover. Your project will not be released to you or uploaded until full payment is received.
You must obtain all necessary permissions and authorities in respect of the use of all copies, graphic images, registered company logos, names and trademarks, or any other material that you supply to us to include in your website or web applications.
