Services Provided:

Hosting:

As part of this Agreement, full hosting is provided by the Service Provider for the website platform and associated media. This includes daily backup of the content entered into the system. The infrastructure provided is a service oriented architecture built on the cloud platform Linode. We also utilise Amazon AWS S3 for media storage and CloudFlare for DNS and CDN services. The cloud provider may be changed at the discretion of Square1.

In the event of the system requiring additional capacity an upgrade of the infrastructure will be required. The ongoing costs for the upgraded hosting will be reviewed with the Client based on the increased capacity/complexity of the system.

Hosting also includes :

  • ●  Upgrade, patching, configuration, and optimization of pre-installed software.
  • ●  Installation of additional modules for pre-installed software (e.g. PHP modules).
  • ●  Installation of additional software components to ensure we can maintain a stable
    service for you.

A number of infrastructure redundancy options are available for the Client and are outlined below. They will allow for a minimum interruption or seamless continuation of service in the event of hardware or data center failure. Depending on the complexity of the system, the option to have multiple load balanced servers securely replicated across multiple data centers is available.

Backups

Automated daily server snapshot backups are performed on all servers for all Websites currently hosted at Siteground, as well as specific backups of the Database and Website files, which are taken prior to Themes, plugins and other website maintenance/support activity.

Resolution Times

Digital Salon will always endeavour to resolve issues as swiftly as possible as it recognises that the Client’s website is key to its business. It will also provide frequent progress reports to the Client should the likely resolution not be clear upon the first communication as per the Response Times section above.

Response Times

Development, Releases and Testing

Releases

When a significant release of new functionality is planned, Digital Salon shall notify the Client 24 hours ahead of the anticipated roll-out, making available a summary of intended changes to the system. This shall also include notice of any known impacts or risks to the live system. Once deployed, within 4 hours Digital Salon shall confirm to the Client that the release is considered live and complete. Should any issues arise upon release that require the code to be reverted,

Digital Salon shall notify the Client.

As Digital Salon follows an agile development process, “Minor releases” are performed regularly. These are typically small changes to layout/labelling of the site, or releases deployed in response to issues recognised on the live system. In the case of the former, notification of up to 2 hours may be given via email or phone, depending on the origin of the request. In the case of issues impacting the live system, the response issued per the Response Times section is

considered to be notification that a change is intended to be deployed as soon as possible.

Development Procedures

Development changes and updates shall be defined, documented, understood & agreed prior to development. Development changes and updates shall be signed off by both parties.

Testing

Digital Salon shall test all functionality internally prior to releasing it to live. Where necessary, Client sign-off on the test phase may be sought via the staging environment before proceeding to the release stage. The Client shall be notified of any known impacts or risks within the release notification.

Payment

Payment of the ongoing monthly fee is invoiced in advance and it is due upon receipt of the invoice at the beginning of each calendar month. If you have gone about the allocated hours included in your support agreement, or have used up any additional hours or days you have purchased, we will let you know in advance of working on any support, content changes or projects.

New Features/Projects

Reporting

In the event of a support issue arising which requires additional billable time above the included support time, where practicable Digital Salon shall notify the Client in advance and agree an estimate. In the event of a critical issue arising, Digital Salon may be required to take immediate action to address the situation (example cases include critical security patches or P1 incidents after the allocated man days have elapsed). In these cases, Digital Salon shall notify the Client that this work is being performed as soon as is possible.

  • During the dispute resolution period, both parties agree to work in good faith to seek a fair resolution
  • After three working days an agreed independent person can be appointed to mediate.

Any costs of the agreed independent person shall be shared equally by the two parties, unless the independent person determines that one party behaved maliciously or not in good faith.

Termination

Either party can terminate this agreement with a termination notice in writing within 30 days’ notice of the intended Termination Date. If the website is to be migrated to another provider, Digital Salon shall work in good faith to facilitate the migration at agreed rates.

In the event of a contract breach on the part of Digital Salon, the monthly flat rate fee for the month in question shall be waived. In the event of a breach on the part of the Client, full payment for billable work to date shall be made.

Any additions to the brief will be carried out at the discretion of Digital Salon and where no charge is made by Digital Salon for such additions, Digital Salon accepts no responsibility to ensure such additions are error free and reserve the right to charge an according amount for any correction to these or further additions.

The client agrees to make available as soon as is reasonably possible to Digital Salon all materials required completing the site to the agreed standard and within the set deadline. Information or content required for the website will be provided in a timely manner. The client understands that failure to do so could mean the company will move onto work on other clients websites, and could cause considerable delays to the project, which will still be billed as per the clause below.

The Client understands that the website build will not start until Digital Salon have confirmation of the design agreed and all content required to build the website. The client understands that if they change their mind after the website has been built and want another design, this will be billed as a new project.

  • Digital Salon will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.
  • Digital Salon will not be liable or become involved in any disputes between the site owner and their clients and cannot be held
    responsible for any wrongdoing on the part of a site owner

  • Digital Salon will not be liable for any costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the unavailability of the site, its servers, software or any material provided by its agents.

  • 20% 2 weeks after agreement,
  • 20% 4 weeks after agreement,
  • 10% upon Go Live or 7 weeks after the Agreement Signed date, whichever is sooner.

Payments are taken automatically from the clients bank account using GoCardless.

There are no exceptions to this, i.e If the client decides they no longer require the site, as they have commissioned the work and paid a part payment they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done. Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary. Digital Salon’s name must be included in the footer at all times whether it’s hosted on our server or the client’s server.

HOSTING, DATABASE, APPLICATION AND ECOMMERCE DEVELOPMENT
Digital Salon 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.
All codes developed will be the sole ownership of client, where they are not open source and created specifically for the client.

The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by Digital Salon before being made generally available for use. Where “bugs”, errors or other issues are found after the site is live, Digital Salon will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief

Compatibility

Digital Salon will endeavor to ensure that any developed/designed site or application will function correctly on the server it is initially installed in and that it will function correctly when viewed with the web browsing software. Digital Salon can offer no guarantees of correct function with all browser software.

PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS

A part payment is required from any new client before any work is carried out. It is Digital Salons policy that any outstanding accounts for work carried out by Digital Salon or its affiliates are required to be paid in full when the website is completed and launched, If payment is not received by go live date, the site will be taken down. 30 days from this date the website will be deleted without further notice from our servers unless by prior arrangement with Digital Salon. Other additional fees such as stock photo costs, plug in fees or SSL certs, must also be paid before the website goes live. Any annual or monthly direct debits with 3rd party providers will be set up using the clients card, with prior agreement first.

Once a part payment is paid and work completed you are obliged to pay the balance of payment in above notes. We will contact clients via email and telephone to remind them of such payments if they are not received when due.

If accounts are not settled or Digital Salon have not been contacted regarding the delay, access to the related website may be denied and web pages removed, we will then pass such cases to the Small Claims Court to pursue payment, non payment can result in county court judgements (ccj’s) being added to the clients credit rating.

Following consistent non payment of an invoice our Solicitors will contact the client in question with a view to taking the matter further and, if need be, to seek payment through legal procedures including, if necessary, court summons.
