​
Proprietary Content Requests
​
15. Client-provided Assets may be required specific to Client-based proprietary inclusion. While official website completion may include placeholder content for future revisions, various attempts will be made to collect proprietary needs for delivery. Asset requests will be sent early in the development process in hopes of a return in a timely manner. Requests may also be sent throughout and/or upon website completion. Should the website completion take place with placeholders, and more than the 4 to 6 week delivery time elapses due to unmet Client content requests, or any other obstacles to prevent completion, beyond the control of Nashville Web Design .BIZ, additional charges may be incurred.
Intellectual Property
16.
​
Client assumes all responsibilities for licensing, permissions and clearances, holding harmless Nashville Web Design .BIZ, and any associations thereof, of any infringement and/or potential for any actions taken. All content provided by the Client, including but not limited to information, images, media content and copywriting, must be copyright-approved and the sole ownership of the Client. Any infringement of intellectual property conditions will be the responsibility of the Client.
Timeline for Delivery
17.
​
NOTE: While Website revisions, upgrades and enhancements are typically a post-launch support and maintenance service option into the future, duration and production restrictions do apply in any segment of website development. Website development is not an opportunity for endless edits and perpetual preparation to completion. Once agreed upon a timeline for delivery, both parties agree to work in tandem to meet the agreed timeline, for timely and accurate results, meeting the scope of the project as assigned.
Delivery timeline expectations will be estimated upon project scope and assignment of service. The Contractor will be expected to deliver product within a reasonable agreed timespan, and Client also agrees to provide requested content and information in a timely manner as well, working together in tandem to deliver the project scope as determined. If the Contractor exceeds the timeframe, proper notification and adjustments will be made accordingly. When clients exceed these periods of time, beyond the control of the Contractor, proper notification and adjustments may be made accordingly including parking fees and perpetual edit fees that may be assessed. When the scope of the project changes, the agreement changes as well to adapt. Additional fees may be incurred for services rendered above and beyond the agreed scope of project, including but not limited to timeline, proprietary information provided, additional programming, edits, reversals, content production, revised circumstances, professional services and more.
​
​
Project Completion
18.
​
Subject to payment plans above and workflow priorities therein, Nashville Web Design .BIZ standard protocol provides that once all content is available (whether produced or provided), please allow 4 to 6 weeks for typical website development and delivery for internet portal. Custom coding and special conditions may take longer. Project completion may be superseded by payment plans noted above.
​
-
The Website project is deemed complete and fully billable upon completion of the website development in agreement of the invoice/work order/development structure discussed. Necessary contents required, yet unavailable beyond the control of the website Contractor, may be substituted with temporary and/or example-driven information and content placeholders for project conclusion and delivery.
-
Proprietary accuracy is at the discretion of client provision, often based on requests for applicable information and contents. When client-provided proprietary information and/or contents are required, yet unavailable beyond the control of the Contractor, Placeholders may be used instead, as example-driven information and content display substitute, thereby satisfying all completion and delivery requirements.
-
NOTE: When the client chooses to delay proprietary completion and the completed portal-to-internet delivery of their website development, the website sits wastefully dormant and renders valued space on the development server as unusable. IF after multiple requests of the client for their proprietary information, content, and/or accuracy in website development, the client may be in violation of Website Parking regulations, and additional fees may be incurred.
-
-
Website completion does not require proprietary accuracy, however multiple attempts will be made to request the applicable proprietary information and/or contents for a fully satisfactory project delivery.
-
As proprietary accuracy is at the discretion of client provision, the website Contractor will be held harmless from any proprietary requirements of the project, portal-to-internet service and fees, and any prepayments thereof. In attempt to avoid additional/future fees and forfeitures, multiple requests will be made however, to request the applicable proprietary information and/or contents for a fully satisfactory project delivery.
​
Service and Fees Forfeiture
19.
If after multiple notifications and requests for assets, information, and any other forms of content for proprietary completion, and the project conclusion/delivery continues to be delayed beyond the control of the Contractor, any subsequent services and the prepayment thereof, including but not limited to portal-to-internet fees, website hosting and domains will be forfeited by the client. With the continual delinquency in meeting Contractor requests, and any other form of conclusion/delivery delay beyond the control of the Contractor, the project completion, subsequent services required and the forfeited prepayments thereof including but not limited to portal-to-internet fees, website hosting and domains, may incur additional fees at a later date. Should the proprietary requests eventually be met, beyond the expiration and completion terms noted herein, delivery may be concluded and met successfully with a portal to the CMS server, requiring future services and additional fees for custom domain and hosting interests previously forgone.
​
With the expiration and forfeiture of previously agreed portal-to-internet services, including but not limited to website hosting and domains, the Contractor offers three options for post-forfeited portal-to-internet completion:
-
The Client is welcomed to open their own CMS account for self-service continuation. Contractor will assign the completed build to Client account for their own completion as desired. Contractor-provided education, training, consulting and direction within the CMS platform may incur additional fees.
-
The Client is welcomed to provide the Contractor their proprietary credit card credentials holding harmless the Contractor from any liabilities related to the sharing of credit card credentials, and the Contractor will thereby provide the additional services required, including a 12% Administration Fee for the services provided. Invoice delivery and full remittance thereof will be required in advance of additional services.
-
The contractor will assume custom portal-to-internet services and fee coordinations thereby providing the additional services required, including a 22% Administration Fee for the services provided. Invoice delivery and full remittance thereof will be required in advance of additional services.
​
​
No Parking Allowed
20.
​
Website “Parking” is known as a halt in website development, production and/or progress, beyond the control of the Contractor, with the website structure sitting dormant on the development server, rendering the server space unusable. Whether funding has ceased, content is unavailable, or or any form of prevention of forward progress of the project, a parked website is not allowed and may incur additional fees beyond the previously agreed work-order in place.
A common Parking infraction is when a Contractor continually seeks client-based input, feedback, information and/or contents for proprietary inclusion and accuracy in the website, however requests provided remain unmet, thereby delaying conclusion of the website project and/or delivery beyond previously agreed timelines.
Therefore, IF AFTER THREE (3) REQUESTS, within and/or exceeding a 30 day timeframe, the client continues with unmet returns, provides inadequate information and/or content as requested, continually delays the requested results, declines to respond, declines to deliver, and/or provides any conditions beyond the control of the Contractor thereby resulting in delayed conclusion of the website project, the client’s website project may be deemed in violation of this PARKING stipulation.
When in Parking violation and/or any notice thereof occurs, it is the preferred outcome by Nashville Web Design .BIZ that the Client provides, within 24 hours of notice, all information and/or contents requested, and the website will be completed and delivered as originally agreed upon within the invoice/work order/development structure discussed. Due to the delays incurred by dormant progress beyond the control of the Contractor, the client also agrees to release the Contractor from any prior agreements for timeline completion and/or delivery.
If however, after multiple unmet requests (from Contractor to Client) for content and information (required for project completion) have prevailed, opposed to continued provision and production towards completion, a website project is then deemed as a Parked status opposed to Active. During this Parked period, the client is offered (3) three options to alleviate a Parked status, by either launching as-is, accepting surcharges until launched, or the client's project is eventually deemed Inactive and removed from the server space required for its storage and potential prevention of space for other projects.
1. To intentionally enact Inactive or Completed status, please pay the remaining invoice as originally agreed, to officially cease operations, and/or launch as-is. The Client thereby agrees that the website development, production and/or progress is completed as-is, including but not limited to placeholder information and/or contents, and forgoes any and all other Contractor obligations due including but not limited to the remaining informational and/or contents requested, portal to internet, and unmet services due. In doing so, the Contractor is released of any further pursuit of project operations, and the website will be deemed satisfactorily completed as-is, fully billable upon notice, and to be delivered/published within 24 hours of production, as a completed delivery.
A. In the scenario when Full payment has been provided, the client agrees to satisfactory project completion, and that any further development/modifications/assignments will be billed accordingly.
B. In the scenario when a remaining balance is due, the client agrees to satisfactory project completion, with immediate remittance of the remaining balance due, and that any further development/modifications/assignments will be billed accordingly.
2. If a client wishes to remain within Active status, and immediately continue with the project, all requests must be met within 24 hours of notice, or accept a $350 weekly Parking surcharge from date of notification, to be added to the invoice for remittance, for up to (3) three additional months of awaiting all requests for completion. At which time concluding the 3 months of Active extension, if the project remains incomplete, it will be deemed from Parked to Inactive status, deleted from the vendor server space, and the invoice may then be turned over to Collections and/or court order for remittance. Surcharges will be due immediately upon invoicing. If the surcharge invoicing remains unmet, a monthly 5% compounded interest fee may be added as well. If after a Contractor-deemed timeline of delinquent payments continues, the Client account may be assigned to Collections and/or additional legal actions may be taken, with all expenses as responsibility of the Client.
3. If a client wishes to remain Parked yet continue with the project, without all requests being met upon notice of Parked status, with an expected Active return to the project at a future designation, additional interval surcharges will be added to the invoice for remittance, up to (3) three additional years of awaiting previous requests. At which time, if the project remains incomplete, it will be deemed from Parked to Inactive status, deleted from the vendor server space, and the invoice will then be turned over to Collections and/or court order for remittance, with all expenses as responsibility of the Client.
Extended-Parking Surcharge Schedule:
0 - 3 months = $1200
4 - 9 months = $3800
5 - 12 months = $4500
13 - 24 months = $5000
25 - 36 months = $9500
Once deemed as a Parked status, any further and/or revised services including but not limited to these options, will require full payment in advance of any future work order and agreement to proceed.
Until adequate response is provided by the Client to the Contractor, upon Parked project notification choice request, a $350 weekly surcharge from date of notification, will be added to the invoice for remittance, for up to (3) three additional months of awaiting all requests for completion. At which time, if the project remains incomplete, it will be deemed from Parked to Inactive status, deleted from the vendor server space, and the invoice will then be turned over to Collections and/or court order for remittance.
​
Revisions
21. During development, up to three (3) revisions are allowed per item. Should repeated item revisions continue beyond three occurrences, additional development charges may be incurred. Once the site is launched, two (2) post-launch “bug squashing” full-list revisions will be available. Full Lists must be provided for each revision cycle. IF only one revision provided per request, the one item will be considered the full list. Thereafter, additional charges may be incurred. Should repeated revisions continue beyond two occurrences, additional development, support and maintenance charges will be incurred.
​
The request for post-launch “bug squashing” revisions and update lists will be available for 14 days after the site is delivered complete. Thereafter, any work moving forward may be subject to additional support and maintenance plan rates.
