Client Acknowledgements

Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that:

  • The amount of time allotted for updates to text, images, and other minor changes, is determined by the Maintenance Package that they purchased and will be billed in fifteen (15) minute increments.
  • Client understands that all work for monthly maintenance tasks will be scheduled according to Florida Web Architects LLC’s workflow. We have a process and maintain sites for many Clients, therefore all website updates work that counts towards your monthly time allotment is done on a first come first serve basis, except in the case of a total website down issue, which would be considered an “emergency.”
  • Failure by Client to answer a question critical to the completion of a task within 5 business days may cause that task to be “bumped” and moved to the “end of the line” in our work queue. Depending on the time of month, this could cause that task to roll over into the next month’s bucket of update requests.
  • Once the time allotted in their Maintenance Package has been reached for the month, any unfinished tasks on the Client’s task list will be rolled into the next month for processing.
  • All monthly updates are scheduled at our convenience and in accordance with our schedule. We have a process and a workflow that we use to maintain all of our clients’ websites in a fair and orderly fashion. The only exception being in the case of Client’s website being totally offline or down for some reason, in which case their issue would be considered an ‘emergency’ and would take priority.
  • Should the Client wish to have additional tasks completed in the same month, they will be billed on an hourly basis of $125 per hour less the discount rate provided for such work in the Maintenance Package that they purchased.
  • Client understands that if they provide Florida Web Architects LLC with a maintenance task and the task has been completed, then they wish to make changes to the task, any additional time to make these changes will count towards the monthly allotment of time.
  • Website updates exclude, but are not limited to, image editing, graphic design, graphic editing, database design, database changes, programming, and search engine optimization.
  • Website updates do not include website redesign, re-alignment or re-development equalling more than 50% change to web page, web graphics on the website (i.e. 4 graphics on website, and you want 3 changed, there is a charge for anything above 2, meaning 50%).
  • CMS design, integration of plugins that require intensive configuration, or programming of things that require extensive time to set up, including but not limited to blogs, shopping carts, API integrations with third party services, and web forums are not considered “minor” changes and therefore are not included in the Maintenance Agreement. These require a separate design or development agreement.
  • Maintenance Agreement does not include training on how to use your website, WordPress, or email.
  • Maintenance Agreement does not include training on search engine optimization (SEO) or other online digital marketing.
  • All communications will be done during regular business hours, which are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST).
  • Florida Web Architects LLC has no control over your hosting company in regards to server downtime, incompatibilities with software, PHP compatibility issues, etc.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC is not responsible for Client’s email issues or troubleshooting problems on their own computer. Our role is toe maintain and keep your website running at it’s optimal capabilities. We are not your IT team.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC has no control over the policies of search engines or directories with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future. Client’s web site(s) may be excluded from any search engine or directory at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory entity.
  • Additional fees could be charged if the information provided has to be typed and exceeds the amount of time to do that is allotted in our Maintenance Package.
  • If changes are made by Florida Web Architects LLC according to Client’s information, and the changes are not correct, additional time to remedy the changes fall under the time allotted each month.
  • Unused time is not accumulative. Unused time does not transfer from month to month. Maintenance Services time is strictly month to month.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC is not responsible for rewriting sentences, restructuring paragraphs, or checking for typing errors, misspellings, etc.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC is not responsible for changes made to Client’s web site(s) by other parties, including the Client themself.
  • During the duration of this contract, the Client agrees that Florida Web Architects LLC will be the sole provider of maintenance services for the website, and no other party will have access to or rights to change the web site. If a party, including the Client, other than Florida Web Architects LLC makes changes to the web site, any errors that are created must be repaired and will be charged for at the hourly rate specified above.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC is not responsible for third-party plugins that may become unusable as a result of Maintenance Services performed.
  • Florida Web Architects LLC will not repair Client’s website(s) that became compromised, hacked, or otherwise defaced or infected prior to ordering Maintenance Services.
  • Recovery or repair of Client’s website is not guaranteed.
  • Availability of backups is not guaranteed.
  • Scheduling of Maintenance Tasks – Because of the nature of our business, we are juggling multiple maintenance clients, on top of several large web design projects, at any given time. Because time is at a premium, we don’t take on more Clients than we can handle, however, scheduling is a priority for us. We schedule all work for the month in advance to maintain a workflow that is conducive for our business and for all of our Clients. When we take on a Maintenance Client they are given a set amount of time in our schedule for maintenance tasks that can be done each month that are counted towards their monthly time allotment. Please understand that the scheduling of these tasks is totally at the discretion of Florida Web Architects LLC. The only time we “bump” one Client’s tasks for another Client’s place in line is in the case of an emergency. Unless a website problem interrupts your business monetarily, for instance an eCommerce site that goes down or has problems with checkouts, or it is totally down or offline, it is not considered an emergency. We will provide the amount of time you have contracted for each month towards updates, however we do it in accordance with our schedule. This is the only way we can be fair to all of our Clients.
  • Additional Services – Additional services not listed herein will be provided for a fee of $125 USD per hour. Florida Web Architects LLC is not responsible for search engine optimization (SEO), developing new content, or writing new copy for Client. Client will be charged an additional fee for writing content, based on the hourly rate of $125 USD per hour (discounted fees do not apply toward this type of work). Clients who need SEO work done must sign up for one of our SEO Packages.
