Celestial Tech Web Design & Development Agreement

Terms of Agreement

  1. Authorization

By signing the proposal provided by Rocket Domains Limited (“Celestial Tech”) client is engaging Celestial Tech located at 90 John Bright St, Birmingham B1 1BN as an independent contractor for the specific purpose of developing a website. Hereafter, the client will be known as the “Client” and Celestial Tech will be known as “We”, “Us”, or the “Developer”.

  1. Proposal

The itemized proposal provided via email will serve as the basis for this project.

  1. Base Package

We will provide 3 design prototypes incorporating the color scheme and logo provided by the client. Once a design prototype is chosen by client, we will start developing the website on the basis of that prototype.

  1. Content

Final website text content, logo and graphics will be supplied by the Client in electronic format unless otherwise specified in the Proposal

5. E-commerce

Unless indicated in the proposal, this agreement does not contemplate an eCommerce enabled website, or any transaction that may require an online shop, ordering, shopping cart, invoicing and online payments systems.

  1. Payment Terms

A 50% deposit is due at signing. The contract balance is due before website launch. All invoices rendered by us are payable within fourteen (14) days from the date of the invoice. The Client agrees to pay us in full within this time period. If the Client fails to pay any invoice by the due date for payment, then without prejudice to our rights under this Agreement, the Customer shall also pay us interest on the outstanding amount at the rate of 8% per month. A 50% deposit is collected at a minimum to cover project kickoff, project setup, staging server working space and software installation.

  1. Client Amends

The Developer prides himself in providing excellent customer service. That is the spirit of our agreement and the spirit of the Developer’s business. To that end, we encourage input from the Client during the design process. The Developer understands, however, that Clients may request significant design changes to programming that has already been built to the Client’s specification. To that end, please note that our agreement does not include a provision for “significant programming or design modifications.” Some examples of significant programming modification at the request of the Client include:

  • Developing a new table or layer structure to accommodate a substantial redesign
  • Recreating or significantly modifying the company logo graphic at the Client’s request. Logos are to be provided by client.
  • Significantly reconfiguring the Client’s shopping cart with new product, shipping or discount calculation, if an e-commerce enabled site has been ordered by the client.

Moderate changes, however, will always be covered during our development of the website. Again, we strive to accommodate the needs of each Client and we maintain a liberal redesign policy. We cannot, however, provide major redevelopment services to already completed stages of the project.

  1. Third Party or Client Page Modification

Some Clients will desire to independently edit or update their web pages or programming after completion of the site as a way to control costs and avoid the expense of a separate Maintenance Agreement. This is always an option for Clients of the Developer. Note however, that if the Client or an agent of the Client other than the Developer attempts to update the website and damages the design or impairs the ability for the web pages to display or function properly, time to repair the web pages will be assessed at our hourly rate. There is a one-hour minimum.

  1. Additional Expenses

Client agrees to reimburse the Developer for any critical Client requested expenses necessary for the completion of the project. Examples would be:

  • Purchase of specific fonts at the Client’s request, – Purchase of specific photography at the Client’s request, – Purchase of specific software at the Client’s request or based on client’s needs

 

  1. Copyrights and Trademarks

The Client represents to the Developer and unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to the Developer for inclusion in the Client’s website are owned by the Client, or that the Client has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend the Developer and its subcontractors from any claim or suit arising from the use of such elements furnished by the Client.

It is also understood that the Developer will not publish information over the Internet which may be used by another party to harm another.

The Developer shall have the right to cover the development time at the Developer’s current hourly rate and expenses already invested in the project.
