Grafxion Creative Design Studios  & Web Development

Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

The following assumptions have been made regarding your project, which will affect proposal items including but not limited to: the cost estimate, deliverables, production schedule and project staffing.

The work will be performed at the developer’s office.
No delays will be caused by unavailability of the client’s technical and functional resources to review documents and provide answers to questions. If the client is unresponsive and feedback is not provided, then GRAFXION has the right to terminate the project upon notice.
The production of the website will be deemed completed upon launching the site on the Internet and making it accessible for the world to view. The final payment is due before the launch of the website project.
“Changes to Scope of Work” Clause:
The fees quoted are only “estimates” based on our assessment of the amount of time this project will take. We hold the client accountable for any additional work that may result. Client shall be responsible for making additional payments for changes necessitated by Client’s revisions and/or additions following Client’s approval (other than for GRAFXION’s error) and will be billed additionally at the standard billable rate of $100/hour.
In the event of your cancellation of this project, or any delay of more than one month in responding to GRAFXION’s request for information or review/approval of proofs, GRAFXION will have the option of terminating this agreement, and invoicing you for the greater of: (1) all work completed up to the date of written notification, including expenses, at the rate of $100 per hour or such other rate as shall be specified in this agreement; or (2) the amount of any advance deposit made for this project. Any renewal of this project after termination will require a new agreement, fee schedule and upfront deposit.”
Termination:
This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice to the other, if the other party breaches any material obligation provided hereunder and the breaching party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice. This Agreement may be terminated by GRAFXION (i) immediately if Customer fails to pay any fees hereunder; or (ii) if Customer fails to cooperate with Company or hinders Company’s ability to perform the Services hereunder at GRAFXION’s full discretion.
Client will retain all intellectual property rights of source material (e.g. design, code, copy, photography) provided to GRAFXION for use in connection with this project; however, Web content, design and other work product created by Consultant and similar products and materials will remain the property and copyright of GRAFXION until all fees under this agreement have been paid in full.
It is the client’s responsibility to verify and or sign off on the production and testing of the web site within 30 business days of GRAFXION’s notification of completion.
Project Timeline:
Is the actual development/design time needed to complete a project. The timeline is dependent on immediate and consolidated feedback from the client on all design and development deliverables. If feedback is delayed, the project timeline may also be significantly delayed.
GRAFXION cannot guarantee or promise any placement in search engines.
Client will provide all site content once homepage layout is approved. GRAFXION will fill any page on the website with “Lorem Ipsum” to properly show the page layout until real content is established. Text will be delivered to GRAFXION in MS Word, Company Logo as an .EPS or high-resolution .JPG file and pictures if any as .JPG files.
Client acknowledges that GRAFXION does not launch websites on Fridays or days before a holiday.
Client acknowledges that GRAFXION will only fix any bug related issues post launch for a period of 90 days after the official live date. If the client makes any changes to the website code or hosts on servers other than GRAFXION’s approved servers that results in a website issue and/or vulnerability, GRAFXION will not be made responsible to fix the bug without receiving compensation for time and materials.
Web Design Contract Cancellation:
A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of the contract signing. Cancellation of any web design project by either party will result in a refund to the client of all fees paid beyond the deposit amount, minus the amount already incurred in the development of the project by the date of cancellation. Web design cancellation refunds will be processed and delivered within 30 business days of the cancellation date.
If GRAFXION ceases operations, files for bankruptcy protection, is the subject of the appointment of a receiver, or for any other reason, ceases to control GRAFXION before the work on this contract is complete, all related work product shall be immediately delivered to Client and the contract shall be cancelled forthwith, without further recourse or payment.
In the event GRAFXION wishes to subcontract any of the work related to this Agreement, Client must be notified of the subcontract before work on it begins and must approve of the subcontractor, and the subcontractor must agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as fully as GRAFXION.
Indemnity:
Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless GRAFXION (and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses) incurred by GRAFXION as a result of any claim, judgment, or adjudication against GRAFXION related to or arising from GRAFXION’s work.
Customer and GRAFXION agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any disagreement arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement through negotiation.

The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be (a) selected in the sole discretion of the American Arbitration Association administrator and (b) a licensed attorney with at least ten (10) years experience in the practice of law and at least five (5) years experience in the negotiation of technology contracts or litigation of technology disputes. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could be entered by a judge of the state courts of Florida sitting without a jury, and only such power, except that the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages, treble damages, or any other damages which are not compensatory, even if permitted under the laws of the State of Florida or any other applicable law.

The written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not preclude either party from seeking temporary, provisional, or injunctive relief from any court.
