Where there is any delay in supplying these materials that leads to a delay in the completion of work, we have the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount (see 6. Project Delays and Client Liability).

Where the client fails to supply materials, and that prevents the progress of the work, we have the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.

  1. VARIATIONS

We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to make one-round of revisions during the Beta Design phase (see 8. Approval of Work). Web 907  limits the scope of uncharged (free) beta design edits to one hour (unless otherwise stated in the contract). Revisions of the beta design can include color, font and page layout changes.

Any major deviation from the project’s specifications, including adding or removal of content, may be considered a “change order” and be charged at the rate of $100.00 per hour.

  1. PROJECT DELAYS & CLIENT LIABILITY

It is required that a single point of contact be appointed from the client and be made available to Web 907 in order to expedite the feedback process.

Any time frames or estimates that Web 907 gives are contingent upon the clients full co-operation and delivery of complete and final content for the project. During development, there is a certain amount of feedback required in order to progress to subsequent phases. It is expected that the client will respond to feedback request in a timely manner. Client failure to communicate with Web 907 can result in project delays or cancellation.

  1. If all project materials are not received within the initial 90 calendar days from contract enactment, the project will be put on “hold” until all materials are supplied. At which point a new project timeline shall be agreed upon. A fee of $200 shall be paid by the client to allow Web 907 time to reacquaint with the project. At this point, the content delivery due date will be extended for an additional 90 days.
  2. A delay in content delivery of 180 days or more shall result in a “suspension” being placed on the project contract. This will not nullify the contract agreement in terms of pricing and scope of work, but will change the expected delivery time of the project. A fee of $200 shall be paid by the client to reactivate the contract so Web 907 can reacquaint with the project. At this point, the content delivery due date will be extended for an additional 90 days.
  3. A delay in content delivery of one year or more shall result in the termination of the contract without refund.
  4. Delays in the Beta Review period of 30 days or more, beyond the initial 14-day review period (see 8. Approval of Work), shall result in the project being put on “hold”. Extensions to the Beta Review period may be requested if circumstances are reasonable or necessary. Request for extensions must received within 30 days of Beta Review delivery. Once on hold, a project in Beta Review shall not restart until the remaining balance of the project is paid in full.
  5. Any and all project delays of over one year shall result in termination of the contract without refund (see 25. Termination of Agreement).
  1. APPROVAL OF WORK

On completion of the beta design, the client will be notified and have the opportunity to review the project. This is the called the “Beta Review” period. The client must notify Web 907 in writing of any design or content edits within 14 days of Beta presentation. Any work which has not been reported as needing edited will be deemed approved. Once approved, or deemed approved, work cannot subsequently be rejected.

Approved work will be subsequently invoiced for the remaining balance. (See 10. Payment).

Any new or additional content requests, not provided at the beginning of the project, will be subject to an hourly rate. See “6. Variations” above for more details.

On completion of the Beta Review edits, the client will again be notified and have the opportunity to review the work within 14 days. Additional changes to the project that had not been specified during the initial Beta Review period will be subject to our hourly rate. (See 6. Variations).

Delays in the Beta Review period shall result in the project being put on hold or terminated. (See 7.iv. Project Delays & Client Liability).

  1. REJECTED WORK

If the client rejects any work within the 14-day Beta Review period, or does not approve subsequent work performed by us to remedy any points recorded as being unsatisfactory, and we, acting reasonably, consider that you have been unreasonable in any rejection of the work, we can elect to treat this contract as at an end and take measures to recover payment for the completed work.
