1. Definitions

The following Terms and Conditions document is a legal agreement between Srapsware Technologies Pvt Ltd Limited, hereafter the ?Developer?, and ?the Client? for the purposes of website design or development. These Terms and Conditions set forth the provisions under which the Client may use the services supplied.
The Developer is an Internet web design provider offering the Client graphical design, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, WordPress (and WooCommerce), Magento and other related computer programming languages.

2. Acceptance of Work

Quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue. When the Client places an order to purchase a website or website updates from the Developer, the order represents an offer to the Developer to purchase the website or website updates. No contract for the supply of services exists between Client and Developer until the Developer sends an invoice to the Client for payment. The invoice equals acceptance by the Developer (or third party developer) of the Client?s offer to purchase services from the Developer and this acceptance of work is a valid contract between Client and Developer regardless of whether the Client receives the invoice.

Any other services on the order that have not been included in the invoice do not form part of the contract. The Client agrees to check that the details of the invoice are correct and should print and keep a copy for their records. The Developer is liable to withdraw from the contract at any time prior to acceptance.

Additional work requested by the Client that is not specified in the agreed quotation is subject to an additional quotation by the Developer on receipt of the specification. If the work is needed as part of an existing project, then this may affect time scale and overall delivery time of the project.

If a functional specification and a set of testing criteria are included within the quotation, the Developer is responsible for fulfilling the testing criteria as the sole criteria for completion of the contract.

The Client agrees that the standard development platform (available upon request or at our website https://www.srapsware.com/terms-conditions/) is an agreeable platform for the development of the website and all acceptance testing will occur only on the standard development platform.

The domain name is registered in the Client?s own name, with the address and contact details of the Developer.

6. Projects

The Client agrees that an HTML page built from a graphic design may not exactly match the original design because of the difference between the display in design software and the rendering of HTML code by Internet browser software. The Developer agrees to try to match the design as closely as is possible when building the code.
During a website project, it is important that the Client communicates information to the Developer to achieve the required result.

The Client agrees they are permitted a maximum of 4 hours of alteration on projects of ?3000, with an additional 1 hour of alteration available per whole ?1500 of cost after that, unless quoted otherwise. All alterations are to be requested in writing either by email or postal mail by the Client.

The Developer reserves the right to request payment be received for further alterations before continuing work. Upon completion of agreed design, the Client is asked to confirm in writing by email or postal mail that the design and the screen size is signed off as complete and agree that any further design alterations are chargeable.

If the Client requests a design or content alterations to pages that have already been completed, new pages or different functionality other than that specified in the original quotation, the Developer reserves the right to quote separately for these alterations.

If optimised pages are included as part of the project, the Developer will optimise the Client?s web pages that already make up part of the project. Optimised pages are not part of new pages.

The Developer endeavours to create pages that are accessible to search engines. However, the Developer gives no guarantee that the site will become listed with search engines.

If an error or issue with the design or code arises during the development phase of the project, which does not allow the design or code to match the original specification, then the Client agrees that the Developer can apply a nearest available alternative solution. ?Once a site is live (or the site is ready to go live and merely requires the customer to add content) then the?project is deemed to be complete. ?The client has 2?months in which to provide evidence of errors caused by the Supplier, these will be reviewed and if errors are genuinely caused by the Supplier they will be put right. ?If errors are caused by the client (i.e. during the use of the Content Management System) then steps taken to remedy errors will be chargeable.

The Developer at all times applies reasonable skill and care in the provision of services.

However, the Client agrees that in so doing they assume full responsibility for any issues which occur as a result of changing the code themselves. If the Client or a third party of their choosing edits the website code and this results in functionality errors or the page displaying incorrectly, then the Developer reserves the right to quote for work to repair the website.

It may also be that any third party will need to pay for any subscriptions or licences for any software on the website.

The Developer reserves the right to assign subcontractors in whole or as part of a project if needed.

The Developer will keep a copy of the site and design source files when a website project is being worked on.

Responsibility for any problems on their hosting solution will lie solely with the client and not the developer.

The developer is in no way responsible for the date on the client’s website. It is the client’s responsibility to backup all data.

Should the developer be replacing an existing website created by anyone else other than the developer (either on the clients or developers hosting) then the client is responsible to make suitable backups before the new website can be uploaded.
