A non-refundable deposit of 25% is required with all projects before any design or development work is carried out.
Once a website has been designed and completed the final balance of 75% is then due in accordance with our payment terms. There are no exceptions to this, i.e. if the client decides they no longer want the site, as they have commissioned the work and paid a deposit they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done. Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary. Once full payment is received for a website, it is assumed that the project has been completed to the clients satisfaction and no refunds can be offered. BR webdesign do offer free updates for 30 days after completion to allow for any final amendments that may be required.
Some projects, once developed and rolled out and paid for in full, may be serviced by a retainer. The retainer fee will be invoiced monthly and subject to our payment terms.
Database, application and e-commerce development
BR webdesign cannot take responsibility for any losses incurred by the use of any software created for the client. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure products are problem free and accurate, the ultimate responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that all software is functioning correctly before use.
Any scripts, applications or software (unless specifically agreed) written by BR webdesign remain the copyright of BR webdesign and may not be commercially reproduced or resold without the permission of BR webdesign.
Where applications or sites are developed on servers not recommended by BR webdesign, the client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed. Where large applications are to be developed, it is the clients responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment.
The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by BR webdesign before being made generally available for use. Where "bugs", errors or other issues are found after the site is live, BR webdesign will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief.

Website optimisation

The process of optimising websites itself will bring in more traffic and hits and you'll see visits increase to your site naturally. We cannot accept liability for any change in rankings, or drop off in the position of your website due to changes in the algorithms of the search engines or the factors that they use to rank websites.
