The Registered Name Holder accepting this provision accepts liability for any harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name unless the Registered Name Holder promptly discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the licensee’s identity to a party providing reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

21.4 Registry requirements:

Most registry operators have terms and conditions, policies, and requirements governing the registration, renewal, dispute resolution, and transfer of domain name licenses. As stated in Clause 21.1 of this Agreement, by applying for a domain name, transferring, or renewing it, you acknowledge and agree that your application is subject to the separate registry policies related to your requested domain name. Please note that registry policies may change, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the list provided.

Each registry operator may introduce new or amended terms and conditions, policies, or requirements that take effect immediately. You acknowledge and agree that we are unable to guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the registry policies provided in the above paragraph.

Some registry requirements are outlined in this service agreement, while others can be found online or through the provided link. Registry operators may have additional requirements or introduce new ones. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with all registry requirements, whether or not they are included or referenced in this service agreement.

By applying for and accepting registration of a domain name, you agree to comply with all applicable nexus and other registry requirements that may be in effect from time to time.

Your application implies that you have understood and will adhere to all ICANN standards, policies, procedures, and practices, which can be found at https://www.icann.org.

You acknowledge and agree to release us from any claims arising from registry requirements or any actions taken by us in accordance with those requirements.

Please note that we are unable to enforce registry requirements against third parties.

You agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the relevant Registry, its parent company, subsidiaries, service providers, shareholders, subcontractors, and their directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising from your domain name registration for any reason whatsoever.

You acknowledge and agree that the Registry, Registrar, its subcontractors, affiliates, agents, and/or service providers shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or liability resulting from or arising in connection with the Sunrise, Landrush, Founder’s Program, Premium domain, or Auction processes, including, but not limited to:

  • Our ability or inability to reserve a name in the Registry TLD through these processes.

You agree that your obligations under this clause shall continue even after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

21.4.2 Registration Information

You agree to provide accurate registration information for the domain name, including a confirmed email address by return email or other suitable method.

You also agree to promptly correct and update the registration information for the domain name, including associated Personal Data, during the registration term.

21.4.3 Personal Data

The Registry will handle, collect, and use Personal Data submitted to the Registrar in accordance with its published privacy policy and for the purpose of providing Registry Services as defined in ICANN’s Registry Agreement. This includes the publication of registration data in the directory services (also known as “WHOIS” or “RDDS”).

The Registry will take reasonable measures to protect the Personal Data submitted by the Registrant from loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The Registry may use the collected demographic data for statistical analysis or other business purposes, provided that individual personal data is not disclosed. This paragraph does not apply to publicly available information.

You acknowledge and agree to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification, and other processing of your Personal Data by the Registry, its designees, and agents, in a manner consistent with the purposes specified above, current ICANN policies, and relevant local data protection laws and privacy requirements.

21.4.4 Right to Deny

You acknowledge and agree that the Registrar and the Registry reserve the right to deny, cancel, or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on registry lock, hold, or similar status, as they deem necessary in their discretion, including, but not limited to:

  • Protecting the integrity and stability of the Internet or Registry.
  • Complying with specifications adopted by authoritative industry groups with respect to the Internet (e.g., RFCs).
  • Complying with applicable laws, government rules or requirements, law enforcement requests, or dispute resolution processes.
  • Avoiding liability, civil or criminal, for the Registry and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees.
  • Non-payment of fees.
  • Terms of this Agreement or Registry policies.
  • Compliance with applicable ICANN rules or regulations, including the Registry Agreement.
  • Correcting mistakes made by the Registry or any Registrar regarding the domain name registration.
  • Protecting the rights and property of the Registry and avoiding potential or actual liability, civil or criminal, for the Registry and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, representatives, employees, and stockholders.
  • Placing a domain name on registry lock, hold, or similar status during the resolution of a dispute.

21.4.5 Dispute Resolution

You agree to submit to proceedings commenced under the following dispute resolution policies:

  • ICANN’s Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
  • ICANN’s Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) policy.
  • The Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy.
  • The Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure.

You also agree to comply with any other dispute policies set forth by the Registry from time to time in its relevant Policies, including but not limited to processes for the suspension of a domain name demanded by intellectual property rights holders, Internet engineering and security experts, or other competent claimants for the purpose of upholding the security, stability, and integrity of the Registry.

You must comply with the published policy of ICANN regarding any dispute and release us from any claim that may arise from our actions or the actions of the registry operator in accordance with the published policy.

21.4.6 Prohibited Use

You acknowledge that you are prohibited from engaging in activities such as distributing malware, operating botnets abusively, engaging in phishing, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent or deceptive practices, counterfeiting, or any activity contrary to applicable law. Such activities may result in the suspension of your domain name.

21.4.7 Launch Periods

If applicable, you agree to be bound by the Registry’s terms and conditions for the initial launch of the relevant TLD, including but not limited to the Sunrise period, Landrush period, Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy, or any other Launch policies.

21.5 Domain Name Application

To apply for a domain name license, you must:

  • Complete our application form in full.
  • Read and agree to our service agreement.
  • Submit the appropriate registration fee.
  • Fulfill any requirements specific to the domain name license being applied for, as well as any other requirements communicated by us.

Submission of an application does not guarantee the issuance of a domain name license, even if a preliminary check indicates domain availability.

Successful application requires:

  • Full payment of the registration fee and clearance of all cheques by your bank, as confirmed by our accounts department.
  • Compliance with the association requirements and policies of the relevant registry operator.
  • Approval of your application by the relevant registry operator, permitting the issuance of the domain name license.
  • Written notification from us confirming the final approval of your application.

You acknowledge that the registry operator reserves the right to reject registrations at any time. You may not assume the success of your application or take any further steps or incur any additional expenses based on the assumption that your application was successful. In any event, we shall not be responsible for any losses or damages resulting from your belief that your application would be successful.

21.6 Domain Name Licensing

The issuance of a domain name license grants you the status of licensee for the domain name. A domain name is not considered a property item and does not have an “owner.” It is classified as an entry on the database of the registry operator.

Terms such as application, registration, activation, transfer, and others related to a domain name merely reflect the application, registration, activation, transfer, and so on of a domain name license.

A domain name license is subject to its specific license terms. It must not be used in violation of those license terms, many of which are requirements imposed by the registry operator and its relevant bodies, beyond our control.

Ownership of all copyright and database rights is retained by the registry operator.

You should not rely on the continued provision of a domain name license as evidence of the granting or renewal of permission to use the same. It is your responsibility to ensure that a domain name license complies with the requirements imposed by the registry operator and its relevant bodies. You are fully responsible for renewing domain name licenses.

21.7 Domain Name Registration Period

A domain name license has a fixed period onceactivated.

Some domain name licenses offer a choice of periods, while others have fixed durations. Our application form will indicate the available periods for application. The domain name license period (subject to approval) will be the one applied for.

21.8 Registration Renewal

You have the responsibility to renew your domain name license in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and those of the relevant registry operator.

You are solely responsible for ensuring the timely renewal of your domain name license. Failure to do so before the expiration of the previous license term may result in the domain becoming available for registration by third parties.

By releasing us, you acknowledge that we are not liable for any claims arising from your failure to renew a domain name license.

While we may send notifications of pending renewal as a courtesy, please note the following:

  • You agree that we have no obligation or liability if we do not provide such notifications or if notifications do not reach you. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your electronic contact information is correct, active, and fully functional.
  • We will make an effort to advise the registrant of the need to renew a domain name, preferably at least 30 days prior to the expiry date, through methods such as sending an email to the registrant’s email address and/or sending a notice to the registrant’s postal address as recorded in the WHOIS information for the domain name.
  • You are not obligated to renew your domain name license or pay any associated fees unless you choose to do so.

If you decide to renew your domain name license, you must:

  • Agree to any applicable fees as directed.
  • Agree to the latest service agreement and any related policies or requirements specified by us and the relevant registry operator.
  • Select the desired renewal period from the available options as specified by us.

A renewal is considered successful only if:

  • The renewal fee has been paid and processed.
  • Your renewal complies with the service agreement, policies, and requirements of us and the relevant registry operator.
  • The relevant registry operator approves the renewal request.
  • We have provided written notification confirming the successful renewal.

21.9 Registration Transfer

You have the option to request a change of your domain name license at specific times mentioned in this document, which include the policies and requirements of the relevant domain registry(ies).

21.10 Registrant Transfer

A registrant transfer involves transferring the ownership of a domain name license from one registrant to another. It consists of a transferor (old registrant) and a transferee (new registrant).

To successfully complete a registrant transfer, you must:

  • Provide us with a complete Domain Transfer of Ownership form, available on our website, with correct and valid information that satisfies the requirements set out by the relevant registry operator.
  • Ensure that the transferor pays any outstanding fees owed to us.
  • Pay any specified fees related to the registrant transfer process.
  • Supply satisfactory documentation identifying both the transferor and transferee.
  • Ensure that the transferee acknowledges the entry of this service agreement, our policies, and any requirements/policies of the relevant registry operator as stated in the Domain Transfer of Ownership form.

Once the transfer is completed, the transferor releases us from any claims arising under or in relation to this agreement, their domain name license, or its transfer.

21.11 Registrar Transfer In

You have the option (subject to the policy of the relevant registry operator) to apply for the transfer of a domain name license from another domain registrar (company) to ours. A registrar transfer to us is treated as an application for registration, and all clauses in this document are equally applicable. By applying for a registrar transfer, you agree to this service agreement and any policies listed by us or the relevant registry operator.

21.12 Registrar Transfer Out

Just as you can transfer a domain name license to us, you also have the ability to apply for a registrar transfer to another company. The transfer out process follows the clauses in this document, specifically those related to the domain name you are transferring (e.g., .com, .au, etc.).

21.13 Privacy & WHOIS Service

When you register a domain name license, certain information is collected for use on the WHOIS service, which allows internet users to query a domain name and find the identity and contact details of the registrant. The public WHOIS service is a standard feature of domain name systems worldwide and is subject to the policies and requirements of the relevant registry operator.

For .au domain registrations, please refer to auDA’s WHOIS policy.

All Private Registration applications are subject to the relevant policies and requirements of the Private Registry Authority. By applying and utilizing Services provided by the Private Registry Authority, you agree to all the policies listed at [insert link], both those provided and referred by the Private Registry Authority.

Reports regarding abuse, trademark infringement, or third-party rights related to domain name registration can be reported to [email protected]. Such reports are reviewed by our staff, registrar staff (where applicable), and other third parties such as the Private Registry Authority. Private Registration services may be removed when required by law or the relevant registry.

Correspondence or documentation sent to listed Private Registration addresses may be received by us, Registrar staff, and/or other third parties. Such correspondence or documentation may be forwarded at our discretion or as required by law.

Registrant contact information may be provided to registries (including ICANN) as required by us, the Registrar, and/or other third parties. While domain registration data is regularly escrowed by all registrars as part of the agreement with ICANN, the information immediately available through private registration services is unlikely to be affected unless required by law or unless we or the Registrar cease business or terminate Private Registration services.

Customer support may be provided by us in respect to Private Registration services.

21.14 Domain Parking

Upon registration, your domain will be automatically parked on name servers provided by us. When users enter your domain, they will be redirected to a “coming soon” page. There is no charge for parking a domain. By registering the domain, you give consent for us to place the “coming soon” page and its associated content on your parked domain. After registration is complete, you have the option to change the name server configuration and “un-park” the domain. If your domain registration expires, the registration becomes invalid. If you choose to renew the domain, you can restore it to its original settings. However, if you fail to renew the domain, we may place an “expired” page on the parked domain. The “coming soon” and “expired” pages may contain advertisements and other materials selected by us. We retain the revenue obtained from such advertising. If you utilize our DNS management services and fail to configure a wildcard DNS for your domain, we may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain. These subdomains will be directed to a web page that may contain advertisements and other materials selected by us.

21.15 Domain Name Cancellation

If your domain name license is cancelled for any reason under these terms or registry operator requirements, a third party may register the domain name instead of you. By cancelling the domain, you release us from any claim arising from the cancellation.

21.16 Domain Expiration Protection Service

The Domain Expiration Protection (DEP) service prevents your registered domain name from becoming available for purchase by other parties if it is not successfully renewed before the expiration of its current term. With the DEP service, the domain name does not expire, and you have one year from the expiration date to renew the domain during the Expiration Period. During this period, we may lock the domain name and/or direct it to an IP address designated by us, which may host a parking, under-construction, or other page containing promotions, advertisements, and links. Only the registrant can renew the domain name by phone. If you do not renew during the Expiration Period, the domain name will be made available for purchase by other parties.

21.17 Back Order Service

The Back Order service is designed to monitor your requested domain name and register it on your behalf if it becomes available through the respective registry. The domain will only become available if it is no longer registered, either due to the previous registration expiring without renewal or the domain name being deleted. All Back Order applications are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this document.

You acknowledge that the Back Order service cannot be provided for domain names identified as unsuitable by any applicable Registry or Registrar, such as Premium Domain names exempt from the Back Order service. If a Back Order application is processed for a domain name subsequently identified as unsuitable by any applicable Registry or Registrar, you agree that such processed application may be deleted and refunded.

Placing a Back Order does not guarantee that the specified domain name will be registered to you at any time. We will make every effort to secure domain registration, subject to the terms contained within this document. However, it is possible that the specified domain name may never become available for registration. Therefore, your Back Order may not be successful, regardless of how long you retain the Back Order.

When you apply for a Back Order, the specified domain name will enter our Back Order system. Back Orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Other clients may also place Back Orders for the same domain name. The first application will receive 100% priority. We may or may not disclose the existence of an existing Back Order for the specified domain name.

Cancellation: You can cancel a Back Order at any time. However, no refund or account credit will be issued for funds paid, whether in full or pro rata, as long as the service is functioning.

By placing a Back Order application, you agree to:

Indemnify and hold us harmless if we are unable to register your Back Order application and the specified domain name.

Abide by all the terms, conditions, processes, and policies described in our full Service Agreement.

Your Back Order is valid from the date your Back Order request is accepted by us until the expiration date of your Back Order service. It is your responsibility to ensure the renewal of your Back Order service. Failing to renew your Back Order service before the expiration date may forfeit any priority for a domain name Back Order if multiple Back Order applications have been made for the same domain name.

21.18 Domain Pre-Registration

The Domain Pre-Registration service allows you to express your intent to register a domain name once the TLD becomes available from Crazy Domains. We do not guarantee the registration of your domain name at any stage of the pre-registration process. When the TLD becomes available from Crazy Domains, we will contact you via email regarding pricing and registration terms.

Registrations for available domains will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Other clients may also place pre-registrations for the same domain name. The first application will receive 100% priority. We may or may not disclose the existence of an existing pre-registration for the specified domain name.

You understand that other companies may also have the same domain name on backorder, which means the domain may be taken by them. While we will try to secure the domain name, there is no guarantee that it will be available.

We cannot guarantee if and when your domain will become available. Once the TLD becomes available in the future, we will notify you via email.

By pre-registering a domain name, you agree to comply with all associated registry rules and conditions once your domain is purchased.

Cancellation: You can cancel a pre-registration at any time. Since pre-registration is a free service, no refunds or account credits will be issued.

21.19 Releases and Indemnities

This clause supplements any other release or indemnity provisions stated in this agreement or any relevant registry operators’ policies and agreements.

You agree to indemnify us against any disputes between you and any third party relating to any service offered by us.

You must indemnify, defend, and hold all of our directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates harmless from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or in relation to the provision and use of our services.

Each indemnity and release given to us or any other party under this agreement will remain valid even after the termination or expiration of any service agreement.

21.19.1 Limitation on Liabilities

This agreement does not exclude certain laws that provide rights and remedies that cannot be changed or excluded by this agreement.

We exclude all implied conditions and warranties, except any implied condition or warranty the exclusion of which would contravene any statute or cause any part of this Agreement to be void (“Non-excludable Condition”).

Our liability to you for the breach of any express provision of this Agreement or any Non-excludable Condition is limited, at our option, to providing account credit, refunding the price of the services associated with the breach, or providing those services again (except for services acquired for personal domestic or household use or consumption, for which our liability is not limited under this Agreement).

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under this Agreement if it is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If such failure or delay exceeds 48 hours, you may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to us.

You agree not to hold us liable for any loss of privacy, provision of inaccurate information or advice, or damage to your computer systems or files that may result from your use of the Services. You understand that email communication can be read during transit.

You accept sole legal responsibility for any messages, files, data, or other forms of communication that you add to or transmit via the Services, and you release us from any such legal responsibility.

You understand and agree that opinions, advice, services, and all other information expressed on the Internet are the responsibility of the provider, not us. We have no control over the content of the information passing through the Services.

21.19.2 Registrant Authority

We may act on instructions or requests from a person who appears to be the registrant or a person acting under the authority of the registrant, without being obligated to do so or without the need for notice of dispute regarding the authority of that person.

You release us from any claim arising from actions taken in accordance with this clause.

21.20 Domain Redemption

When a domain name expires, the registrant has 30 days to renew the domain and prevent the deletion of DNS records. If the domain is not renewed within 30 days, it may enter a Redemption period determined by the domain name registry, typically lasting 30 days. To recover a domain during the Redemption period, registrants must apply to Site Digital at least 7 days before the end of the period. After the Redemption period, the domain enters a PENDINGDELETE phase for 5 days, during which it cannot be recovered. Following this, the domain is deleted and made available for re-registration. Renewing a domain during the Redemption period incurs a fee, which includes the first-year renewal of the domain name. Some registries may not have a Redemption period, so it’s advisable to contact Site Digital to inquire about specific cases.

For more information about the lifecycle of a domain name, you can refer to https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-lifecycle-2012-02-25-en.

Search Engine Optimisation

You acknowledge that we do not have direct control over search engine placement. While we make our best efforts to maintain a high position for your website, we do not provide an ongoing guarantee of placement position.

We guarantee a Google listing within 8 weeks of application to our Search Booster product. However, this guarantee is subject to the following conditions:

The provision of valid, correct, and up-to-date information.

The satisfactory completion of the required forms, steps, and recommendations.

If your contract for the Web Hosting Product includes a Minimum Term and you terminate the Web Hosting Product before the Minimum Term ends, an Early Termination Fee may be charged as specified in clause 5.8.

We reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or terminate any hosting service for the following reasons:

  • Non-payment or failure to renew the service.
  • Chargeback or reversal of payment.
  • Reasonable belief that you are not using the services in accordance with this service agreement.

18.6 Web Hosting Transfer

The Web Hosting Transfer service is available as an optional addon to a Web Hosting plan purchase and is designed to assist with transferring hosted email and websites from another provider to Site Digital. You can apply for and process only one Web Hosting Transfer per unique Web Hosting account/package. If you wish to transfer additional websites, you must process a new Web Hosting Transfer with a new Web Hosting package.

We do not guarantee the following aspects of email and web hosting transfer:

  • Success of the transfer: We may only be able to migrate a portion of your account, and some elements may require your partial or complete management.
  • Transfer speed: While we strive to complete the migration within 48 business hours, there may be instances where it takes longer.
  • Compatibility: Due to software complexity, we cannot ensure 100% compatibility of applicable software with the new server. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have purchased a web hosting plan that supports your email and website and to perform a complete test of your services post-transfer.
  • Completion: You are responsible for ensuring that all necessary files and settings have been fully migrated.

While we make every effort to ensure a successful transfer and have established a solid process and policy to govern migrations, we are not liable for any failure, damage, or loss of data during the transfer. It is your sole responsibility to maintain a full backup of your data and files.

18.6.1 Refunds:

In addition to the terms and policies outlined in this document, this clause specifically applies to refunds following an order for a Web Hosting Transfer.

As stated in clause 18.6, we strive for maximum success in completing the migration. However, we cannot guarantee 100% success. Therefore, we may offer a credit or refund for a purchased web hosting plan when combined with a web hosting transfer order. The decision to offer a refund or credit is at our full discretion.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service or any contact on the website through which the service is provided, without express written permission by us.

The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.

Third-party services may be subject to specific agreements as supplied by them. By applying or using any service offered by us, you must agree to this agreement and any agreement of our third-party suppliers. The Logo and Web Design services are an online offering where individuals or entities that have signed up as clients can post specific assignments and project descriptions, including illustrative samples or other media as part of their campaign brief.

15.1.3 Creative Brief and Responses for Logo & Web Design:

You are solely responsible for preparing and posting detailed descriptions of each of your creative briefs to the website, including providing samples illustrating your creative brief and any relevant deadlines.

We are under no obligation to review a creative or revision brief for any purpose, including accuracy, completeness of information, quality, or clarity. We may decide, at our sole discretion, to deny a creative or revision brief.

When you are provided with a revision, you are responsible for reviewing the revision. If you fail to promptly advise that the revision is not reasonably responsive to the creative brief, you will be deemed to have accepted the revision.

If you notify us that you think a revision is not reasonably responsive to the related creative brief, you shall then submit to us a revision brief containing information regarding amendments or modifications to be made to the initial Response.

15.1.4 Revisions for Logo & Web Design:

The purpose of the revision process is to create responses that move your project forward in the specific direction you have determined. You may request significant changes in the first and second cycles, and the responses generated might be quite different in nature from the original composition you selected. We can only apply requested revisions that are within the limitations of the product and platform to which the product is built. Further revisions (subject to the purchased plan) shall be modifications to the current composition only.

The included revisions are applicable to the initial design only, and further revisions after the design completion will be charged at our discretion.

15.1.5 Design and Content Changes for Web Design

A design change request is changing the entire or part of the website’s template or design, including but not limited to, theme colors, text or image relocation, and/or any custom design. A content change request is updating any non-design-related content on the website, including but not limited to, any text, logos, images, links, buttons, map locations, page background image, and/or form details.

You are solely responsible for providing detailed descriptions of the content you would like on your website, including providing all text, images, and any other content, and any relevant deadlines.

We are under no obligation to review the text or images sent to us for any purpose, including accuracy, completeness of information, quality, or clarity.

When you are provided with a design or content change to your website, you are responsible for reviewing the change. If you fail to promptly advise that the change is not reasonably responsive to the original request, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.

If you notify us that you think a change is not reasonably responsive to the related change request, you shall then submit to us a change request containing information regarding amendments or modifications to be made to the initial change.

All requested changes are within the limitations of the product and the platform to which the product is built. The number of change requests is limited to the number advertised on the purchased product, and any further changes will be charged at our discretion. Any renewal of these products will provide the same amount of change requests as advertised, with any existing change requests forfeited. The renewal does not include any complete redesigns or rebuilds of the website but can be offered at a premium rate at our discretion.

We will provide monthly or annual maintenance in accordance with the service package purchased, ordered, or maintained. If allocated maintenance time is not utilized during the respective maintenance schedule, they will not be carried over to the next schedule. Should the required maintenance exceed the allocation, you may purchase additional time allocation in 30-minute blocks. Unused additional time allocation is not carried over, and no refund will be issued for any unused allocation.

We require creative material to be of sufficient quality and in the correct format. We reserve the right to deduct allocated time if we are forced to request re-submission. We will endeavor to advise if required maintenance appears to be not possible within allocated time but reserve the right to advise at any time that the time allocation is insufficient. Unfinished maintenance will not be published or distributed until further allocation has been purchased.

Due to the software required to run the Websites, the Web Design products must always be hosted on our servers and cannot be hosted elsewhere. This means you will also not be able to retrieve a backup or local copy of the website.

Please note that the availability and compatibility of third-party plugins, themes, or extensions may be subject to their respective terms and conditions. We are not responsible for the functionality, performance, or support of third-party plugins, themes, or extensions. We attempt to use only third-party plugins/scripts & applications that we know are regularly maintained by their respective authors & of high quality. While we do our best to ensure these plugins are updated, we do not take any responsibility for any third-party software/apps, scripts or plugins or how they may impact your site.

15.1.9 Project Timeline and Deliverables:

We will provide an estimated project timeline and deliverables based on the scope of work agreed upon. While we make reasonable efforts to adhere to the timeline, unforeseen circumstances or factors beyond our control may impact the project schedule. We will communicate any significant delays or changes to the timeline promptly.

You agree to provide timely feedback and approvals during the design and development process to ensure the project progresses smoothly. Delays in providing feedback or approvals may result in a revised project timeline and additional charges, if applicable.

Upon completion of the Ecommerce website design and development, we will deliver the agreed-upon deliverables, which may include website files, database, documentation, and other related assets. Ownership of the deliverables will be transferred to you upon receipt of full payment for the services rendered.

Either party may terminate the Ecommerce website design and development agreement by providing written notice in case of a material breach by the other party. In the event of termination, any fees paid for services not yet rendered will be refunded to you, excluding any costs incurred for third-party services or materials.

If you decide to cancel the project before completion for reasons other than a material breach by us, you may be entitled to a partial refund based on the work completed and expenses incurred up to the cancellation date. Any refund will be determined at our discretion.

Please note that once the project is completed and delivered, no refunds will be provided, except as required by applicable law.
