KissChanel Designs Agreement

Consult.

Consults are free! I urge you to email me your inquiries before you decide to start a contract with me to design your website.

Payment.

Payments must be made promptly based on the terms of this Web Design Project. Kiss Chanel Designs reserves the right to remove any Web Project from viewing on the Internet until final payment is made. Absolutely no e-checks.

All work $500 and under must be paid in full before I begin your project. Any work over that amount requires a non-refundable 50% deposit, and the rest is due once I have reached the 50% mark of your project. Kiss Chanel will not deliver the project without my sample watermark until the second half is paid in full. The first half of the payment is to ensure that the client is serious about wanting a site and for the time & effort that was placed into drafting. Once you have made your final payment, this becomes non-refundable as well. That means you are satisfied with what I have presented and agree to move forward with the completion of the project. Upon completion of project, any further requests for additional work or alterations, will result in extra charges. To utilize a different template, it will result in another deposit. You may review my pricing table for more information. Payments that are made in full for completion of the project become non-refundable once the transaction is made.

Regardless of the place of signing of this agreement, the Client agrees that for purposes of venue, this agreement was entered into Stone Mountain, Georgia, and any dispute will be litigated or arbitrated in Dekalb County, Georgia and the Client hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Georgia State Courts. Furthermore, the Client waives any right to or claim of sovereign immunity. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars.

Appointments.

In order to receive a definite start date, a deposit must be made first (will be discussed). Your deposit must also be made at least 7 days prior to your expected start date. This is to ensure that you are serious about this project, and I do not turn other potential clients away by giving them later appointment dates. Kiss Chanel will work on your project only during the days appointed to you to ensure efficiency and faster turnaround time.

Username & Passwords.

Your login information will be kept private and I will not distribute to anyone without prior consent or knowledge. Your permission to due so will have to be confirmed via email first. During yor project, please do not make any changes to your account (password, login, address &etc) because this will delay my turn around immensely. My hours are design are on a set strict schedule and something as simple as changing your WordPress password may delay the expected completion date by 2 days.

Completion Date.

My goal is to satisfy my customers by delivering high-quality work in a very timely manner. My turnaround depends on the size of your project and my current workload, and can be delivered anywhere from 48 hours, to 1 month. This will be discussed before I agree to begin working on your project. The sooner I have everything I need from you to complete the project, the sooner the project will be completed. Delays due to the client not providing essential items needed to complete the project are not Kiss Chanel’s responsibility. At the time content is requested if it is not provided by the client within 30 days the project will be considered expired. During designing of your website, it will not be viewable by visitors until the project is completed. An “Under Construction” page will be up, leaving details of how much is completed, the date that it will be completed, along with the option to subscribe to be notified via email once the site has relaunched. I will give you the email list once the project is completed. If the Client does not supply Kiss Chanel Designs with complete text and graphics content for this Web Project within 14 days of the effective date of this agreement, the project will be deemed cancelled by the client and the entire amount of the payment shall be retained by Kiss Chanel Designs as liquidated damages and the contract shall become null and void.

Design Credit.

KissChanel reserves the right to place a small logo, or “Designed by Kiss Chanel Designs” text on any web projects. This will be done very discreetly and customized to match the layout without standing out. The logo may not be removed, and in any case that it is will be considered a violation of my terms. If you would rather not have my logo added, an additional fee will be charged on a project to project basis.

WordPress.

I specialize in developing for the WordPress Content Management System, used by many top sites, such as CNN, UPS, and TechCrunch. The templates that I use will be WordPress templates, that will be customized to your liking. WordPress allows you to edit content as easily as editing an email. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPLv2 (or later). You will be presented with examples of templates to choose from before we start your project.

CMS Management

A Content Management System (CMS) is a system which allows users with no knowledge of HTML or CSS to edit the content of an existing web page and even add new pages and sections based on pre-existing templates. Similar to how the blogging tool works, there is an adminstration area where users can login and simply edit the text as they would in a text editor and the CMS takes care of the rest. This is why I utilize WordPress (The #1 CMS for the world wide web) for all of my projects.

Website Maintentance.

Kiss Chanel provide website maintenance services, such as redesigning your template, updating information on a web page or adding widgets/information to your sidebar for a fee. Kiss Chanel does do not provide maintenance services such as database issues, inability to understand or how to make changes to your website, or how to run your eCommerce online store. Kiss Chanel Designs is not responsible for website issues nor maintenance once the design is done. In most cases for eCommerce, you will receive a detailed tutorial pdf file (as a courtesy) on how to add products to your online store & etc. It is assumed that you as the website owner will make all changes and updates to your website yourself. However, if you need  someone to make updates to your website, or attempt to fix an error, please contact our sales department for a quote on a website maintenance agreement. The minimal charge is $50 for any request.

Alterations/Edits.

Kiss Chanel will allow one round of alterations/edits after the website is completed. Case Scenario: I am completed with the website and I submit it to you for final review and approval. You then decide that you rather have a black background, red letters and gray pictures instead of a white background, brown letters and blue pictures (which is what you requested when we began the project). There will be no charge for me to make these edits. However, if I made those rounds of edits and then you want me to change those areas again, there will be a fee assessed to compensate my time and the possibility that your requests may require a new appointment. The fee will be determined on a case by case scenario and you will be invoiced prior to the alterations.

This Agreement.

This agreement constitutes the sole agreement between Kiss Chanel Designs and the Client regarding this Web Project. Any additional work not specified in this contract or any other amendment or modification to this contract must be authorized by a written request signed by both Client and Kiss Chanel Designs. All prices specified in this contract will be honored for 30 days after both parties sign this contract. Continued services after that time will require a new agreement.

The undersigned hereby agree to the terms, conditions and stipulations of this agreement on behalf of his or her organization or business.

You must agree to these terms of service before I do business with you. To agree to these terms of service, please fill out the form below:
