These terms and conditions will not be varied for individual customers.

2. Charges. Charges for services to be provided by FIG are defined in the project proposal. All Web site design services require an advance payment of a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the project proposal total when returning the signed agreement. A further twenty percent (20%) of the project proposal total will be due upon acceptance of a layout design, site plan and navigation method. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the project proposal total will be due immediately upon completion of the work outlined in the proposal. The fee will be for the agreed work outlined in our final proposal. The client will be asked to approve a site plan, navigation method, content and design at agreed stages. If, after such approval, the client makes any changes to the website proposal that affects the navigation of the site, the design or layout of individual pages FIG reserves the right to charge our time at the rate of $75 per hour inclusive of GST whilst work is carried out on the requested changes.

3. Payment terms. Invoices will be provided by FIG upon completion of the work and any maintenance services and at set intervals as outlined above.

Accounts that remain unpaid seven (7) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed and a service charge to the amount of ten dollars ($10) weekly may apply.

Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default and as a result, FIG at its discretion, may suspend the account causing temporary removal of the website. Removal of such does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client's account. Cheques returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of $30 and the Client's account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay FIG reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by FIG in obtaining payment.

Sites can only be guaranteed to be perfect if viewed on a PC with the latest version of Internet Explorer, but every attempt will be made for correct display on other comparable web browsers and computer equipment. No site is guaranteed to be printable without a dedicated printable version of any specific page. Unless otherwise specified in the project proposal, this Agreement assumes that all text will be provided by the Client in electronic format (ASCII text files or Email or MS Word document delivered via email or supplied on CD / DVD or USB Flash Drive) and that all graphics will be provided suitable for scanning or electronically in .gif, .jpg or .tiff format. Additional expenses may be incurred for corrective work, conversion of media or outside facility charges. If requested and including in the project proposal, FIG may source additional graphical images and / or photographic works and the charges for this will be outlined in the project proposal or if requested after the creation of the proposal, shall be attached as an amendment to the existing proposal. The scope of the work will be defined by the project proposal. The proposal will clearly outline what is to be delivered. If any items are missing FIG needs to be informed prior to signing these terms to enable supply of a new proposal with inclusion of missing items.

8. Design Credit. FIG reserves the right to include a discrete link back to www.freedominternet.com.au from the client's website stating "Powered by Freedom Internet Group". This design credit is to remain on the site unless the editing of the site has been taken over exclusively by another party and the design appearance of the site has changed by over 90% from its original look and feel as provided and designed by FIG. Freedom Internet Group must be in acceptance of the removal and notified in event of its change so that the site can be removed from the portfolio on the Freedom Internet Group web site.

Unless design copyright is signed over to the client, Freedom Internet Group retains copyright of any design that is created by Freedom Internet Group, excluding elements formed directly from client's logo or branding imagery or facets of their corporate identity. The Client can use and re-use the design elements created for the site in an unlimited fashion for the site and any other graphical online internet-displayed purposes only. Styles and designs created in the production of the web site design may not be used in other material for the client's advertising unless permission is given by FIG. An extra design fee will be due for the multiple uses of design features. The client accepts that they do not have exclusive rights to any regenerative code used in the development of the web site.

The client agrees to remove any reference to FIG (including the link) should FIG deem the site to no longer be representative of its design style and quality.

10. Right to Pull. By accepting this Agreement, the Client agrees to give FIG access to the Client's installed Web site, (FTP access) and further agrees that FIG shall have the right to alter that site for failure to adhere to item 8 or 9 of these terms or remove from public posting for unresolved and continued failure to adhere to item 3.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that FIG cannot guarantee the absence of service interruptions caused by Acts of God or other circumstances beyond the control of FIG. The Client further agrees that service interruptions may occur as a direct or indirect result of changes to design, code or content either at the request of the Client or through the ongoing revision of design, code or content by FIG.

13. Hosting. Any website hosted by Freedom Internet Group may never include third party software, or any open source web software not supplied or uploaded by FIG. If any client has FTP access to their site and uploads 3rd party software of any kind, Freedom Internet Group reserves the right to instantly suspend their hosting account pending the removal of the offending software. This item is to guard against potential hacking of our hosting server. The alternative and preferred method Freedom Internet Group may choose to use in this situation is to examine the offending software and make changes to the configuration files and file permissions to prevent potential hacking of our hosting server and notification of these changes will be provided and subsequent violations of this condition may result in account suspension.

Hosting is billed monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly on the anniversary of the hosting account's creation. Payment for the period is required prior to the anniversary date which is also considered the expiration date should a written notice of cancellation be received 1 month prior or should the account remain unpaid more than 7 days after the anniversary date. If a hosting account remains unpaid after seven (7) days from the anniversary date, Freedom Internet Group reserves the right to suspend the hosting account until payment is received. If a hosting account remains unpaid after one month from date of invoice, Freedom Internet Group reserves the right to terminate the hosting account.

Intellectual Property - brief explanation:

This clause is there basically to protect us from companies taking our design and using it without us getting some kind of credit or return. The design of the site and its copyright excludes the design of your company's corporate image and logo, which already exists. The default situation is the creator of a design holds the copyright to it unless agreed otherwise by the creator and the recipient of the design.

By using the site design in flyers for example, so that the actual design of the overall site is used in the flyer (not the design of your corporate image, for which you hold the copyright) you would in effect be getting a flyer design (or the aesthetic design of the flyer) done for nothing.

A contractor NEEDS to own the copyright to the code they write. If the contractor uses the same code (regenerative code) on another site, and they didn't own the copyrights, the first customer could sue the contractor.

The contractor would own the copyrights, but the customer would own a license to use their copy of the code any way they choose, unless you have a separate license agreement, which would regulate the terms and conditions of the license.

Of course designing sites - HTML, interface and graphics is not quite the same thing as writing software or scripts. In some cases with design the client can be better off with the designer retaining copyright because if there's an infraction they wouldn't begin to know what to do.
