Website Maintenance

1. Scope of Services:

Our website Maintenance plan includes a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet your website’s needs. Depending on the plan chosen, these services may include:

- Hosting management
- Daily website backups
- SSL Certificate
- Anti-virus protection
- Regular software and plugin updates
- Business email setup
- Email support for any queries or technical issues
- Performance optimisation to ensure your website runs smoothly

2. Payment and Subscription:

Our Monthly Maintenance Plan operates on a subscription basis, with payments processed monthly via direct debit. By default, subscriptions are set to auto-renew annually unless the customer contacts us to change it.

3. Missed/Late Payments:

- If payment is not made within 14 days of the due date, a £10 late fee will be applied to your account, and your website will be suspended until full payment is received.
- If the outstanding balance remains unpaid 28 days after the missed payment date, services will be terminated, including the website and any associated email services. A £25 recovery fee will apply to reactivate the website and services during this period.
- After an additional 28 days (56 days total from the missed payment date), the recovery fee will increase to £50. If payment is still not received 28 days after this (84 days total from the missed payment date), all files associated with the website and email services will be permanently deleted, with no possibility of recovery.
- Payment deadlines may be adjusted in exceptional circumstances, provided clients notify us in advance and explain the situation.

4. Service Level Agreement:

We aim to provide prompt and efficient service to our clients. Support requests will be acknowledged within 12 hours, and client-requested updates will be handled as soon as possible. Please note that complex requests may incur additional costs. The timeline for completing updates depends on the scope of changes required.

5. Cancellation and Termination:

No cancellation is permitted within the first year of the contract unless the client pays a buy-out fee equivalent to 50% of the remaining contract value. Additionally, clients will not receive any website files if cancellation occurs within the first year.

After the first year, clients may cancel their subscription at any time. Please note that cancellation or termination of services also includes any associated email services. If a website is terminated, a £25 reactivation fee will apply within the first 28 days of termination. After this period, the reactivation fee will increase to £50.
