WHEREAS
The Agency and the Client wish to set out the conditions between the parties in order to commence the Agency’s application development service to the Client.
NOW THEREFORE, the Agency and the Client agree as follows:
- DEFINITIONS
1.1. “Agency” refers to Hebron Media, its agents and authorized representatives which are also
referred to using “we”, “us”,” our” and “ours”.
1.2. “Client” refers to, its agents and authorized representatives which are also referred to using “they”, “them”, “their” and “theirs”.
1.3. “Content” refers to all text, pictures, sound, graphics, video, links, and other data stored by the Client at the host computers.
- AUTHORIZATION
The Client is engaging the Hebron Media as an independent contractor for the specific project of developing & designing application to be installed on the Client’s web space on a web hosting service’s computer. The Client hereby authorizes the Agency to access this account, and authorizes the web hosting service to provide the Agency with “write permission” for the Client’s webpage directory, CGI-bin directory, and any other directories or programs which need to be accessed for this project.
- PAYMENT AND WORK FLOW
The Agency agrees to execute this application development as specified in Appendix A which is an integral part of this agreement. By signing this agreement, the Client acknowledges that this is the ONLY specification for this application development project. Any subsequent modifications to this specification together with any cost adjustment have to be agreed by both parties by signing a modification agreement. The Client also agrees to pay the Agency the advance deposit specified in Appendix B upon signing this agreement. Under all circumstances, the Agency will not start work until the deposit is received. All interim payments, if any, are also listed in Appendix B.
The Agency will show the Client all the work done and the Client is required to sign off indicating that all work has been done according to Client’s specifications. The Client agrees to pay the Agency the balance payment at this moment before the live site is launched.
- MERCHANT ACCOUNT
If the Client’s application development requires the ability to accept credit cards and/or other forms of online payment, the Client will need a Merchant Account capable of receiving secure internet money transactions. The Client understands that this is their sole responsibility to set up an account with a service provider such as PayPal/ CC-avenue/razor pay. However, the Client may request the Agency to assist in such set up. The Client may be billed for such service per rate set out in Appendix B.
- ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
Client agrees to reimburse the Agency for any critical Client-requested expenses necessary for the completion of the Application development not mentioned in this proposal contract or Appendices A or B. Examples would be:
- Purchase of specific fonts at the Client’s request.
- Purchase of specific photography or equipment at the Client’s request.
- Purchase of specific software or obtain APIs for various web services at the Client’s request.
- ADDITIONAL SERVICES
If significant page modification is requested after a page has been built to the Client’s specification, we must count it as an additional page and include such changes in Appendix B. Some examples of significant page modification at the request of the Client include:
- Developing a new table or layer structure to accommodate a substantial redesign at the Client’s request.
- Recreating or significantly modifying the company logo graphic at the Client’s request.
- Replacing more than 50% of the text to any given page at the Client’s request.
- Creating a new navigation structure or changing the link graphics at the Client’s request.
- Significantly reconfiguring the Client’s shopping cart with new product, shipping or discount calculation if an e-commerce enabled web site has been selected by the Client.
Clients who anticipate frequently changing the look of their application development during the design process and clients who desire to be intricately involved in the design of each page are encouraged to negotiate an additional agreement.
- TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We’re not an application hosting company so we don’t offer support for application hosting, email or other services relating to hosting. You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at one of our preferred hosting providers. We can set up your site on a server, plus any statistics software such as
Google Analytics and we can provide a separate estimate for that. After that, any updates to, and management of that server will be up to you.
- MAINTENANCE
This agreement does include minor modifications and corrections requested within Thirty (30) days up to an average of one hour per page, including updating links and making minor changes to a sentence or paragraph. It does not include removing nearly all the text from a page and replacing it with new text. If the Client or an agent other than the Agency attempts to update the Client’s pages during this time, time to repair the web pages will be assessed at the hourly rate specified in Appendix B and is not included as part of the modification time.
