The following Terms and Conditions are a legal binding contract between the client and
The Posh Box Web Design Studio and apply to all services offered. By
accepting a quote in writing, verbally or by placing an order from The Posh Box, you confirm
you are in agreement of these Terms and Conditions whether you have read them or not.
Please DO take the time to read them carefully.
All Terms and Condition are subject to modification at any time without notice and are in
effect upon posting. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
General:
I reserve the right to refuse services to any individual or company I deem as unfit due to
content or otherwise. This includes, but is not limited to, sites containing adult oriented
material such as pornography, sites which promote hatred towards persons belonging to any ethnic
group, religion or sexual orientation and sites which infringe copyright.
Payments and Deposits:
The Posh Box Web Design Studio collects all payments via MoneyExchange or Paypal and in US funds only.
For projects under $40, payment in full will be required before work will
begin. For projects $40 to $99, a $20 deposit will be
required before any work will begin with the remaining due before installation.
For projects over $100, a 25% deposit of the total estimate is required
before any work will begin, with the remaining due before
installation.
With all deposits paid, you will have a 3-day grace period to "change your mind" and cancel
all requested service. I will not start working on your site until after the 3-day
grace period is over. Once the 3 days has ended and you have not cancelled, the
contract to begin work is in effect and I can begin working on your project. No
refunds will be honored after such time. If you do decide to cancel within the 3 days,
the full deposit will be refunded.
All final and remaining unpaid balances will be due and payable within 48 hours of
your final approval and completion of the design. Once the final payment is made,
the project will be installed and and tested. After testing, all files will be
forwarded to the client.
Authorization:
The client will authorize The Posh Box to access any hosting or domain account along with all
usernames and passwords for the sole purpose of installing, testing or updating the web site.
The client should also authorize the hosting service to provide access to the client's hosting
account and any other programs needed for the design project as deemed necessary by The Posh Box.
The Posh Box reserves the right to display small portions of, or screenshots of your completed
project as examples to be included in my portfolio as well as listing the link to your site for
full preview of my work.
Development:
Designing a web site to be functional in multiple browsers can require considerable, extra effort and time.
The Posh Box will test the new website to ensure that the design will work in the latest browser
versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla FireFox, and Opera for Windows (Windows only)
but can not guarantee that it will work the same for all other browsers, especially older versions.
While every reasonable effort is made to design a fully functional website, The Posh Box
warranty does not cover Internet Explorer 5, AOL, text-based browsers or requested special effects that have been
advised against.
All projects will be developed using various commercial software products, commercial
art and graphics and shall be proofed by hand.
Communication:
The client agrees that all communication between The Posh Box and the client is done via email.
Once work on the project has begun and the initial materials have been sent to The Posh Box,
the client must be available via email as much as possible in order to complete the project in a
timely matter. The client agrees to reply to any correspondence from The Posh Box within 24 to
48 hours excluding weekends and holidays. Vice versa, The Posh Box also agrees to be
available as much as possible for any client questions or concerns, excluding weekends and
holidays.
The client also agrees to notify The Posh Box of any upcoming lengthy absences such as vacations,
appointments out of town, etc., anything that would keep you from replying to emails in a timely
matter, excluding weekends and holidays. Vice versa, The Posh Box also agrees to notify the client
of any lengthy absenses taken, excluding weekends and holidays.
Changes and Additional Work:
During the design phase, any minor changes or revisions to the original approved design will be
honored as long as they are "minor" as deemed minor by The Posh Box and do not change
the original design and layout. Revisions and additions include extra elements, extra graphics,
navigation, menus, banners, etc., that were not included in the initial approved quote or package.
These revisions or additions will be billed to you on your final invoice. Any changes or revisions
to your site that go over and beyond the minor definition will not be honored.
The Posh Box reserves the right to halt or cancel any project, completed or not, due to
excessive revisions and changes. You are urged to stay within reason. No refunds will be given
if this is the case.
Copyrights and Trademarks:
The client unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs,
trademarks, or other artwork furnished to The Posh Box to be included in the design
are owned by the client, or that the client has permission from the rightful owner to use each
of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend The Posh Box from any claim or
suit arising from unlawful use of such elements furnished by the client.
Design Credit and Links:
All designs created by The Posh Box require a text link back to The Posh Box on the
bottom of each web page establishing design and development credit. The link will remain
in place until such time as that website design is no longer used and published on the internet.
Removal or modification of credit is prohibited. If the client would like the credit to be removed,
a $1,000 fee will be payable to The Posh Box. The client also agrees that the web site created for
them will be included in the portfolio pages of The Posh Box.
Graphics Credit and Links:
All graphics created by The Posh Box or another graphic artist requires a text link back to
respective artist at the bottom of each web page establishing design credit. The link will remain
in place indefinitely until such time as that website design is no longer used and published on the internet.
NO graphics are to be used for any other reason, they must remain as created for your design only.
Removal of credit or modification of graphics is strictly prohibited by graphic artists and are
punishable by law.
Estimated Completion Date and Project Delivery:
The Posh Box will estimate and provide each client with a project completion date depending on
the size, content and functionality requirements of the project. The ability to adhere to the estimated
completion date will lie in the clients abililty to send all requested materials, graphics and text needed
to complete the project. The client must also try to be available as much as possible during the project
to answer any questions, get any additional supplies and for any needed approvals. If the client fails
to provide any requested information in a timely matter, the completion date will of course be moved out.
If the client does not supply The Posh Box with the needed materials, graphics and/or text requested for the
project within 15 days of the start date, the contract will be void and no deposits or payments
received will be refunded.
Once full payment has been made, the project will be installed and published to the client's hosting service.
All files will then be forwarded to the client. It is the responsibility of the client to backup
all files for safe keeping and storage.
The client understands that The Posh Box does not provide any hosting services or domain name registration
in connection with this project. Hosting services and domain name registration require a separate
contract with a chosen provider. The client agrees to select a hosting service and domain name
which will allow The Posh Box access to the client's account. The client willl release to
The Posh Box any usernames and passwords for the installation of the project. The client will
be solely responsible for all hosting service and domain name charges.
