9. WeBVite
Construction Procedure:
With the help and input from the Client,
BV will prepare the appropriate custom
design and text for the BandSpace. Client
must submit complete Content to the
design department before site construction
begins on the custom WeBVite. Client
may submit Content directly to designer
through e-mail, or regular mail. After
Content is submitted by the Client the
site will move to the layout and design
department. Once the layout and design
are approved by the Client the site
will move to the text and html department.
BV will add the text and Content to
the WeBVite. After the Client approves
the text and Content added to the WeBVite,
the WeBVite will go live. BV will not
be held liable for accuracy of information,
typos, or spelling errors in any of
the content approved by the Client and
published on the WeBVite. Client will
be notified by e-mail that the WeBVite
is now live. Client understands that
the WeBVite may be taken live “as-is”
or “under construction”
if we do not receive Client’s
response to missing information requests
or requests to approve completed WeBVite
within two weeks.
BV does not guarantee
a time frame for completion of the custom
WeBVite as Content may continue to be
submitted by Client throughout the design
process. BV cannot start and complete
the design of the custom WeBVite until
complete Content is submitted. If Client
continues submitting additional Content,
this increases the design time frame.
If Client does not submit complete Content
and BV is not able to start or complete
the custom WeBVite design, Client is
still responsible for all fees incurred
including, but not limited to, set-up,
enhancement and monthly hosting charges
that begin accruing from date of sale.
10. WeBVite
Change Requests During Design Process:
BV agrees to build a BandSpace to specifications
quoted per the original sale and original
invoice. Any additions or changes requested
outside of the scope of the original
sale prior to the custom WeBVite going
live will be billed at BV’ standard
hourly rate. BV is not obligated to
complete Client requests or changes
outside of the scope of work or the
original invoice quote. If BV does not
agree to Client requests or changes,
Client is still obligated to pay all
fees incurred and due.
There will be NO
REFUNDS of any kind for pages that have
already begun the designing process.
All hours of designing work put into
each BandSpace has to be accounted for.
Unlike a product, we are a service that's
time and effort cannot be refunded.
If Client has received an initial or
completed BandVIRB design, BandVIRB
is in no way obligated to refund complete
payment. By accepting these Terms of
Service, you are agreeing that no chargebacks
will be placed or refunds be demanded.
Failure to meet these terms could result
in legal action.
11. Billing
Policy:
The initial fee is due and billed in
full at the time of the original sale.
Failure to pay will result in ceasing
completion of the BandSpace.
Client requests for
enhancements to the original site will
be due and billed separately and at
the time of request, unless an updating
package was purchased.
BV reserves the right
to change prices at any time including
hourly design fees.
BV charges a $25.00
fee for returned cheques.
BV does not offer
refunds on any projects that have begun
the designing process. Refunds will
only be given proir to any initial creation,
and you agree that BV may keep a small
deposit to cover any fees incurred such
as Paypal transaction fees as well as
an administration fee. This administration
fee covers any research time and/or
hourly rate the project manager has
contributed to your project.
BV reserves the right
to collect late fees from non-paying
clients at our discretion. Failure to
complete payment for projects that have
reached the final stage of completion
will result in ceasing or removal of
all BV work until full payment is made.
If client decides to hault or stop the
project at hand, remaining payments
will be due immediately. If BV receives
no response over a prolonged period
of time regarding the project, all remaining
payments will be due immediately. Client
agrees to pay in a timely manner and
recognizes BV's no-tollerance payment
schedule. Failure to meet these requirements
may result in filing a report with a
collections agency and legal action.
