3. The following
are required before the commencement of a new project:
Non-refundable deposit of 50 percent of the total estimate
Signed contract
Fee for the first quarter of Web hosting & Fee for your domain name
4. The payment balance is due within 10 days after project completion.
"Completion" is defined as the Web site being graphically completed and
suitable for public viewing although minor editing may still be in
progress.
Design Maintenance and Web Hosting
1. For the sites I design hosting is provided by Bowens Design and Only
Farms exclusively.
2.Maintenance is free for the first 3 months (after the new site is
completely paid for and published) after that it is billed at my regular
hourly fee of 35.00 per hour -(1 hour minimum) 2nd hour and up billed in
15 minute increments. Minor maintenance such as adding a text link,
simply moving a horse to the sales page*, or marking a horse sold is
always FREE and is done as my time permits.
*By "simply" I mean if I can move the exact photo and text from one page
to the next with no changes.
3. All paid maintenance is usually completed within the day I receive
it, but is always completed within 48 hours –Mon thru Fri 5 am to 6 pm.
You will receive e-mail confirmation from me that I received your
request and you will be e-mailed as soon as the update has been done so
you can check for correctness -don't continue to to e-mail and call
me...if you have received your confirmation that I received your request
then you can be assured that your changes will be live within 48 hours.
If you do not receive confirmation within 3 hours Monday through Friday
5am to 6pm then you need to re-send your information, as you know e-mail
is not reliable sometimes.
Copyrights and Authorship
1. Copyright in the form of intellectual property for my web design and
layout belong to me (Debby Bowen) Only Farms.com.
You own your photos and the site content. You are paying me for my
labor in the form of an hourly or page fee for adding content which you
supply me to a page or pages described as screens -(one page is equal to
about 3 average computer screens in length).
If you should elect to transfer away from Only Farms I will do my best
to make your move as easy as possible, however you must understand that
you do not own my design. You may purchase your complete website saved
to disc at any time for a small fee. At that time Only Farms authorship
credit must continue to stay visible on each page of the site with a
link back to Only Farms as long as the design and website are used.
The original design graphics cannot be edited or changed by anyone
other than Only Farms.
2. You own your domain name and it will stay registered to you,
Administration, contact and billing will be transferred to Only Farms.
3. Only Farms requires that authorship credit in the name of Only
Farms.com or ONLYFARMS.com accompanies design work or hosting at the
bottom each page, in the form of a small image or a small text file.
4. All sites hosted with ONLYFARMS.com must be family-friendly; must
contain NO foul language, pornography, or slander; must not be illegal
in nature; and must not participate in Spam.
Billing and Payment
1. Invoices are mailed via the postal service or e-mailed as a text file
no less than two weeks before the beginning of each quarter after
project completion. You will be billed for any maintenance (updates
etc.) that were done in the current quarter along the hosting for the
next quarter at that time. Payments that are late or not reconciled will
result in the Web site being suspended and removed. Renewals must be
paid in advance to ensure the Web site remains uninterrupted. I do not
pay this for you -if I do not have your payment your site does not renew
it's that simple.
2. Payment is to be made to "Debby Bowen"
3. If a yearly payment plan is desired, please contact me for details.
4. Billing questions must be addressed within two business days of
receiving the invoice. Otherwise, the invoice is considered as accepted
and payment is due.
5. Normal maintenance work is billed at $35 USD per hour. Additional
services or extensive re-work after your approval of the project may be
subject to extra charges or a paid retainer. Work requested on weekends
or holidays will be billed separately and at a higher rate.
6. Any payments rejected either by credit card or returned personal
check must be reconciled immediately. The fee for a returned check is
$30.00.
7. Only Farms/Bowens Design accepts Visa/MasterCard payments through Pay
Pal for a nominal fee and I prefer to be paid this way it is quick and
very convenient. It is secure!
