  1. OUR FEES

    You are expected to pay the full amount for your website design before we commence the development of your website. We reserve the right not to commence any work until we receive the full payment for your service except agreed otherwise.

  2. SUPPLY OF MATERIALS

    You must supply everything we need to complete the project on your behalf including the format we need to complete the work in accordance with any agreed specification. Some of the materials to be supplied by you may include but are not limited to images, content, logos, and other printed material you would like to incorporate into your website design. In the event you delay in supplying these materials to us, which could eventually lead to a delay in the completion of work, we reserve the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount of time.

    Where you fail to supply materials required to build your website, and it prevents the progress of the work leading to a stoppage of the work at hand, we reserve the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.

  3. VARIATIONS

    We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to make revisions to the design. However, we have the right to limit the number of your design proposals to a reasonable amount and WhoGoHost  Limited at its discretion may charge for additional designs if you make a change to the original design specification after approval has been given.

    Our website development phase is flexible and allows certain variations to the original specification. However, any major change from the specification will be charged at an additional cost. A minor change is anything that has to do with adjusting of size, change of placement, moving of components, color change, image replacement, or text change. A major change is an addition of a new feature which has been agreed to by WhoGoHost Limited e.g. new shipping option, new payment option. This does not however mean upgrades of unlimited complexity but within the measurable framework of the existing content management system.

  4. PROJECT CLAUSES (Please read through this carefully)
    1. PROJECT DELAYS AND CLIENT LIABILITY

      Any of the work which has not been reported in writing to us as unsatisfactory within the 7-day review period will be deemed to have been accepted or approved.

    3. REJECTED WORK

      If you reject any of our work within the 7-day review period or not approve subsequent work performed by us to remedy any points recorded as being unsatisfactory, and we, acting reasonably consider that you have been illogical/irrational in the decision,  we can elect to treat this contract as terminated and take measures to recover payment for the completed work.
