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.

Charges for services to be provided by Local Web Design are defined in the final project quotation confirmation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. Local Web Design reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after expiry of the 30 days.

Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all web, SEO, & graphic design services require an advance payment of 50% of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. The remaining charge of 50% of the project quotation total is due upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of materials.

Payment for services is due by cash, PayPal or bank transfer. Payment details will be made available on invoices, cash can be paid directly in hand to a member of the team as per requested.

Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, Local Web Design will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the project during the design phase and once the overall project is complete. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies Local Web Design otherwise within 14 days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.

Local Web Design will install and publicly post or supply the Client’s website by the date specified as agreed with the Client upon Local Web Design receiving final payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by Local Web Design. In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid Local Web Design with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner. During the project, Local Web Design will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies and sound files as needed.

To remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions we may have to reject offers for other work and inquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged. This is why we ask that you provide all the required information in advance. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%. If your project involves Search Engine Optimization we need the text content for your site in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently. If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do so within one week of project commencement we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this. Using the content management system you are able to keep your content up to date your self, unless you have commissioned Local Web Design to manage your website for you.

Invoices will be provided by Local Web Design upon completion before publishing/sending your project. Invoices are normally sent via email. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid 30 days after the date of the issued invoice or works carried out will be assessed, and will normally result in a £30 per month charge added to the final cost.

Client agrees to reimburse Local Web Design for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the work. Examples would be purchase of special fonts, stock photography etc. Local Web Design will however never make any purchases for specific projects without agreeing with the client beforehand.

Local Web Design makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.). Client agrees that Local Web Design cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems. Local Web Design cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, Local Web Design reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software.

Accounts unpaid 30 days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on Local Web Design Web space, Local Web Design will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. Local Web Design 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. Cheques returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of £25 and the Client’s account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay Local Web Design reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by Local Web Design in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

Termination of services by the Client must be requested in a written notice. The Client will be invoiced for design work completed to the date of first notice of cancellation for payment in full within 30 days.

All Local Web Design services may be used for lawful purposes only. You agree to indemnify and hold Local Web Design harmless and our parent, subsidiaries, freelancers, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms and Conditions or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party and from any claims resulting from your use of our service that damages you or any other party.

The Client retains the copyright to data, files and graphic logos provided by the Client, and grants Local Web Design the rights to publish and use such material. The Client must obtain permission and rights to use any information or files that are copyrighted by a third party. The Client is further responsible for granting Local Web Design permission and rights for use of the same and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Local Web Design from any and all claims resulting from the Client’s negligence or inability to obtain proper copyright permissions. A contract for website design and/or placement shall be regarded as a guarantee by the Client to Local Web Design that all such permissions and authorities have been obtained. Evidence of permissions and authorities may be requested.

Unless otherwise specified in the project agreement, this Agreement assumes that any text will be provided by the Client in electronic format (ASCII text files delivered via e-mail or FTP) and that all photographs and other graphics will be provided in high quality print suitable for scanning or electronically in .gif, .jpeg, .png or .tiff format. Although every reasonable attempt shall be made by Local Web Design to return to the Client any images or printed material provided for use in creation of the Client’s website, such return cannot be guaranteed.

A link to Local Web Design will appear in either 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. However the client can request that the design credit be removed. The Client also agrees that the website developed for the Client may be presented in Local Web Design’s portfolio.

If the Client’s website is to be installed on a third-party server, Local Web Design must be granted temporary read/write access to the Client’s storage directories which must be accessible via FTP. Depending on the specific nature of the project, other resources might also need to be configured on the server.

Local Web Design cannot accept responsibility for any alterations caused by a third party occurring to the Client’s pages once installed. Such alterations include, but are not limited to additions, modifications or deletions.

Local Web Design may purchase domain names & hosting on behalf of the Client. Payment and renewal of those domain names & hosting is the sole responsibility of the Client. The loss, cancellation or otherwise of the domain or hosting brought about by non or late payment is not the responsibility of Local Web Design. The Client should keep a record of the due dates for payment to ensure that payment is received in good time.

These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings or agreements. The Client’s signature below or payment of an advance fee constitutes agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Payment online is an acceptance of our terms and conditions.

Social Media Marketing and Management is defined as helping a client to promote their products or services through social media channels. Local Web Design will honour the components of your chosen social media package, providing an agreement to a minimum 3 months contract is served and monthly payments are received in advance. In the event that payment is not received on time, we regret that further work will be halted until this is rectified.
