SPARKLY NEW WEBSITE

Website Package Terms and Conditions

We believe that your website should never stop evolving because the digital world changes every day, and that is why we choose WordPress for our platform. It is an open-source platform which means we can continue to adapt & improve as new elements & ideas surface. The ease of changing and adapting the site means that you can do so much more with our websites, than with the usual ‘closed systems’.  We are able to make a ‘template’ website look bespoke, and we firmly believe that the day your website goes live is its first day and it will continue to evolve every day thereafter.  

We offer an ongoing ‘time-bank’ for technical support via our web-tech company FL1 Digital, as well as a complete content management option for additional webpages and amendments, news and blogs, ad landing or squeeze pages etc.  If you ask us to take on the ongoing content management of your website you will be able to have amends carried out within 24 hours (Monday to Friday), you can add additional pages – either on the main menu structure or hidden for ads to run to (landing pages), you will be able to see your analytics and assess how each page is doing.  If you decide to take on your own content management, then you will have a training session at the point of going live and, we promise, the WordPress system has so much to offer you!

General Terms

All prices quoted exclude VAT unless otherwise stated.

Invoices will normally be issued electronically. If the customer wishes to receive hard copy invoices this must be requested in writing.

Invoices are due for payment within 15 (fifteen) days. Accounts that remain unpaid after 30 (thirty) days, unless agreed prior to work commencing, from the invoice date may incur a service charge of £25 or 1.5% (one and one-half per cent) of the invoice amount, whichever is greater.

Social Angels’ preferred method of payment is by bank transfer. Social Angels may make an additional charge for payments not made by bank transfer, to reflect the increased cost of processing such payments.

Social Angels reserve the right to charge a 2.5% surcharge for all payments made by Credit/Debit card.

Accounts that remain unpaid 40 (forty) days after the date of invoice will be considered to be in default. In such circumstances Social Angels reserve the right to suspend access to any Customer information held or maintained by Social Angels. A charge may be incurred by the Customer for reinstating access to such Customer information.

Where accounts remain unpaid 60 (sixty) days after the date of the invoice, Social Angels reserve the right to permanently delete or remove any and all Customer information (including domain names) maintained by Social Angels. Social Angels is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service, including the loss of a domain name. Removal of such material does not relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges on the Customer’s account.

Payments returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of £5 and the Customer’s account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received.

Customers with accounts in default agree to pay Social Angels reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by Social Angels in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

Where the value of the work to be carried out by Social Angels is less than £395 full payment will normally be required in advance.

Where the value of the work to be carried out by Social Angels exceeds £395, we reserve the right to request phased payments. In these cases we will normally request 50% of the total estimated cost before work commences, 40% at the mid-stage of the project and the remaining 10% upon receipt of the customer’s signed approval that the project has been completed to their satisfaction.

Social Angels accepts no liability for loss or damage caused by any work carried out by Social Angels. Although our work is fully tested, we take no liability for loss of service or business caused by faults within our software, any external software or any 3rd software, supplier or service.
