Web Design Terms & Conditions

By placing an order with Lightseid Ltd, you confirm that you are in agreement with and bound by the terms and conditions below:
  1. Lightseid Ltd will carry out work only once you have accepted our proposal outlining the work you like to be conducted and therefore becoming member of our community. A ‘membership’ is deemed to be a written contract between Lightseid Ltd and the member.
  2. Payment of the agreed initial fee in the proposal document is required before work commences SO WE CAN THEN gather user requirements, DECIDE ON the content to be used, the look and feel of your new website and prototyping your website during development. THIS WILL BE followed by an official sign off to go live where we point the new website to your domain and payment of the remaining project fee is received. Once we have done this, we can then keep supporting your website. All payments are non-refundable. We aim to design and develop your website within 60 days ON THE PROVISO THAT all requirements for your website are provided to us. If you have elected for a proposal with a support plan, your monthly subscription will automatically start from the month you have signed up.
  3. Websites created on the WordPress are fully hosted by Lightseid Ltd through www.Inmotionhosting.com or on your hosting provider. If you cancel your subscription inside 2 years there will be a cancellation cost of your remaining monthly fee, and Lightseid Ltd will provide you with your website as a zip file to transfer the website to your new hosting provider. If you cancel your subscription after 2 years, there will be no additional charge. There will be an additional fee to migrate the website to your new hosting provider if you choose us to provide this service depending on the size of your website and any email accounts associated with it.
  4. Lightseid Ltd cannot accept liability for losses caused by the unavailability, malfunction or interruption of either service, or for loss of turnover, sales, revenue, profits or indirect, consequential or special loss.
  5. Once your site is live on your domain it is assumed that the project has been completed to your satisfaction. Any additional work can then be requested, either via one of our addons or by contacting us, where we decide on a case by case basis if adhoc content changes are needed depending on complexity and number of iterations per week.
  6. Should you choose the option of having administrative rights to your website where you have the ability to make changes to your own site and amend content; Lightseid Ltd does not accept responsibility for any changes that you make to your site.

All text should be divided into sections relevant to your page names and submitted by you in electronic format (pictures or word document in a zip file) via Wetransfer.com. All text and images submitted must be free of copyright and Lightseid Ltd accepts no responsibility for any infringement of copyright law arising from any text or images used on your site.
  8. We may include plugins on your website to improve the overall user experience on your site. These include but are not limited to contact forms, image slideshows, videos and maps. As these are third party apps hosted by another supplier we cannot accept responsibility for any loss of service or malfunction that may occur.
