Wora Digital/Us/We: Web Designer, Web Developer, Managing Director

The Project: Web Design, Website Development, or other computer-related services being provided to The Client by Wora Digital

Acceptance

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.

No Client needs 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 considered to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these Terms and Conditions in full.

What do both parties agree to?

The Client: The Client has the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of himself, his company, or his organization. The Client will give Us the assets and information we need to complete the project. The Client will review our work and provide feedback and approval on time. Deadlines work two ways, so The Client will also be bound by the dates we set together. The Client also agrees to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

Wora Digital: Wora Digital has the experience and ability to do everything we have agreed with The Client. Wora Digital will do it all in a professional and timely manner. Wora Digital will endeavor to meet every deadline that is set and on top of that, We will maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

Wora Digital will carry out work only where an agreement is provided either by email or telephone. An order is deemed to be a written or verbal contract between Wora Digital and The Client, this includes telephone and email agreements.

The Client shall ensure to read the project design, breakdown, quote and terms and conditions properly and that all details of the work are included, understood and mutually agreed on.

Design

Wora Digital creates website design that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create them iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we will not waste time mocking up every template as a static visual in Photoshop.

Content

The Client shall supply a copy of the content for web pages in clear and usable electronic form, ideally a Word document or similar and shall be entirely responsible for the content of the web pages. We are not obliged to edit, check or guarantee the correctness of the text provided thereof in any way whatsoever. The end product shall be made at the entire risk of you as The Client.

The Client shall test all the functionality, and read and double-check all the content and images when the development link is provided.

The Client shall provide a Privacy Policy and legal disclaimers and confirm with their legal advisers that these meet their requirements. Wora Digital accepts no responsibility for its accuracy, relevance, or currency.

If The Client agrees to provide us with the required information and subsequently fails to do within one week of project commencement, we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately.

Graphics and photographs

Any images supplied electronically will be incorporated into designs without charge provided that they are of suitable quality. The Client should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. The Client should supply photographs in a high-resolution digital format. Any logos that need to be re-drawn will be charged extra at our hourly rate. Images sourced from external image libraries may incur additional license/royalty charges payable by The Client.

Browser testing

Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in all web browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.

Wora Digital tests our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Wora Digital will not test in other older browsers unless we agreed separately. If The Client needs an enhanced design for an older browser, Wora Digital can provide a separate estimate for that.

Mobile browser testing

Testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they are using. We test our designs in:

iOS: Safari and Google Chrome
Android: Google Chrome

Wora Digital will not test in Opera Mini/Mobile, specific Android devices, or other mobile browsers unless we agreed separately. If The Client needs us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate.

Technical support

Wora Digital is not a website hosting company, so Wora Digital do not offer support for website hosting, email, or other services relating to the hosting, unless we agree otherwise. The Client may already have professional hosting or might even manage that hosting in-house. If not, Wora Digital can recommend one of our preferred hosting providers. Wora Digital can set up the website on a server if it will be requested. Afterward, the updates and management of that server will be up to The Client unless we agree on our WordPress Assurance Plan.

Wora Digital may purchase domain names, website hosting, or other subscription services, on behalf of The Client. Payment and renewal of those domain names, website hosting, and other subscription services are the responsibility of The Client. Any loss, cancellation of the domain name, hosting, or other subscription services, brought about by non or late payment is not the responsibility of Wora Digital.

Wora Digital can only program sites to be as secure as reasonably possible at the time of delivery and cannot offer indemnity against future threats/developments.

Search engine optimisation (SEO)

Wora Digital does not guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the pages are developed to be accessible to search engines and provide basic SEO features.

Changes and revisions

Wora Digital do not want to limit clients’ ability to change their mind. Any quote/estimate may therefore be subject to change should the client’s requirements change at any time. Any estimates given by Wora Digital as to the time of completion or performance of its services (whether completion of the whole or a part of those services) shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.

Displaying our work

Wora Digital loves to show off its work, so we reserve the right to display all aspects of our creative work, including sketches, work-in-progress designs, and the completed project on our portfolio and in websites and magazine articles in books and on social media.

A link to the Wora Digital website will appear in either a small type or by a small graphic at the bottom of the Client’s website. If a graphic is used, it will be designed to fit in with the overall site design. If The Client requests the design credit to be removed, a nominal fee of 10% of the total development charges will be applied.

Timeframe

Any estimates given by Wora Digital as to the time of completion or performance of its services (whether completion of the whole or a part of those services) shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence. Any stated timescale is reliant upon The Client providing all required information/copy/images within the time set out at project initiation.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with The Client, the timescale for completion of work may vary and it depends on can take months after approval of design and plan, depending on the scale of the work. Timeframes for the project will be discussed with The Client before the project commences. Wora Digital will do its best to complete the project as soon as reasonably possible.

Termination

If The Client decides to end this contract, The Client must give us a ten (10) day written notice and pay us for the services that Wora Digital has completed.

E-mail or telephone requests for termination of services will not be honored until and unless confirmed in writing. The Client will be invoiced for project work completed to the date of first notice of cancellation for payment in full within thirty (30) days.

This contract will automatically terminate when both parties have performed all of their obligations under the contract and all payments have been made.

Termination of services by the Client may also incur additional charges, such as the cost of transferring website hosting, domain names, or other services away from Wora Digital to another provider.

That said, Wora Digital cannot guarantee that its work will be error-free.

Payments

Charges for services to be provided by Wora Digital are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via the contract or e-mail. Quotations are valid for thirty (30) days. Wora Digital reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after the expiry of thirty (30) days. Prices quoted are only an estimate, and may be subject to change during the process of design and build. This can be caused by The Client choosing to amend any aspect of their requirements or any third-party costs which occur beyond Wora Digital’s control.

Any charges incurred by international payments or international bank transfers are not the responsibility of Wora Digital. Therefore, any such charges must be paid, by The Client, in addition to the amounts invoiced by Wora Digital. Consequently, Wora Digital does not accept ‘shared charges’ for international bank transfers or international payments.

Payment schedule

Unless agreed otherwise with The Client,

Amount Due at Signing: 50% of the total cost
Amount Due at Completion: remaining 50% of the total cost

Any delays to the estimated project timeframe which are caused by The Client, will not extend the deadline for the payment of the remaining balance.

Default

Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If The Client in default maintains any information or files on Wora Digital’s Web space, Wora Digital will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. Wora Digital is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve The Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account. The Client with accounts in default agrees to pay Wora Digital reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by Wora Digital in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

Passing of Rights
