Intellectual Property (IP)

The client will not hold Delicious Webdesign Ltd responsible for any infringement of copyright relating to text or images and photographs contained within designs. It is the sole responsibility of the client to ensure that no copyright infringement will occur in the use of their company name. Refunds will not be made in cases of such copyright infringement.

We ensure that we take every precaution to ensure that the designs we use are original and do not infringe upon any existing trademarked design. Should this unlikely event occur then the limit of our liability will be a proportional price related to the website package purchased, i.e. the client will be offered a partial refund related to their initial purchase. Unapproved website designs shall remain the copyright of Delicious Webdesign Ltd and may not be copied, sold, reproduced without the company’s specific written permission.

Delicious Webdesign Ltd reserves the right to reproduce any of its text and artwork, including approved web sites, for promotional purposes.

Payment

Once work is completed by Delicious Webdesign Ltd the full and correct payment as stated in the final invoice must be made and received by Delicious Webdesign Ltd within 7 days of the invoice date. The invoice is normally issued the day the work is completed and signed off.

Normally a 50% non-refundable deposit is required prior to commencement of work. For clients that are unknown and new to Delicious Webdesign Ltd and overseas companies, Delicious Webdesign Ltd reserves the right to invoice with a payable on receipt of the Invoice.

Only in very special circumstances will a smaller deposit be accepted before work commences.

The Client shall be solely responsible for all collection and/or legal fees necessitated by late or defaults of payment.

Delicious Webdesign Ltd reserves the right to put a website live or withhold delivery and transfer ownership of a website or of any work if accounts are not current or overdue invoices are not paid 100% in full.

Design Process

Clients may request website revisions providing they give clear and concise feedback and that the process converges.

Website Approval

The design process will terminate when the client gives final approval of a website. This will normally be done using the review form or by email.

All liabilities for errors, changes, or alterations become the responsibility of the client, once a design has been approved.

On completion of the design process, the ownership and copyright of the final website are automatically transferred to the client’s name. The client will not have full access to the database/code (software) unless that is requested and the standard charges are applied.

Credit Checks

Delicious Webdesign Ltd reserves the right to verify the credit rating of any individual person or company using Delicious Webdesign Services. Their Credit information that is discovered could well result in clients being asked to pay the full amount for the work required prior to commencement or they may be required to pay a higher percentage deposit to what was previously decided.

Post-Approval Alterations

After the website or project is completed then further revisions can be made to the website or project and will be charged at a rate of £35 per hour (with a minimum of half an hour). The client will be sent an invoice via email once the agreed post-completion revision is completed.

SEO

Delicious Webdesign Ltd aims to increase visitor numbers, search rankings and the website conversion rate but no guarantees can be given to the improvements.
