This submission does not include any directories or paid for inclusion search engines.

All text and copy for the website must be supplied by the client in (.doc) or (.txt) format via email or other official source. There will be an additional charge for typesetting and/or creating text and copy. Gathering of content/image from online its extra cost.

The Company agrees to keep the confidential information of its clients confidential, including all administration areas of websites and details of referrers and those who are referred. All such data recorded by a website will be completely secure, and all information will be treated as confidential in accordance with the data protection act.

11. Customer coordination

Client coordination during the project is very vital.

12. Deliveries, feedback, delays and rounds of changes

All feedback from the client to SEODIGITZ must be delivered back to us within 2 business days from delivery (our default is 2 business days client feedback turnaround to keep to time frames, unless explicitly stated otherwise). For example, should SEODIGITZ deliver the client a prototype at 3.20pm on a Friday, we will require feedback to us by 3.20pm on Tuesday.

13. Feedback delay

It is vital to note that should feedback be delayed whatsoever, delays are not like-for-like. A day’s delay in feedback from the client does not equate to a day’s delay in SEODIGITZ’s next version delivery to the client.

Our production schedule is tightly scheduled to best utilise our resources, therefore – should a delay occur in feedback – SEODIGITZ may need to wait for another free window of resource time to complete work based on feedback for the next version to be delivered back to the client. Unfortunately, we cannot rework the agency’s entire production schedule across all projects to accommodate one client’s delay, and may not be able to ‘make up’ for the delay later in the project. For a tightly scheduled project, one day’s delay may irreparably impact the ultimate deadline date.

If not the fault of SEODIGITZ, we cannot remedy or take responsibility for any missed deadline/launch due to a delay in feedback or the provision of material or information critical to the project.

14. Client responsibilities with regard to content and copyright

(a) In situations where the client enters or provides images, text, animations, layouts or any other content for their website they are legally responsible for ensuring that this material does not infringe any copyright or other laws.

(b) Certain materials including images and font licenses provided by SEODIGITZ may have been purchased under license from stock image suppliers. These images are generally only licensed for use on a website. The license may not permit them to be used in publicity material. The website owner is legally responsible for ensuring that this does not happen. If you wish to use any images from the site for other purposes please contact us for clarification.

(c) Unless explicitly stated otherwise by SEODIGITZ in a project proposal or agreement as being an included service, the Client is always responsible for the entry/population of text and image content into the developed website or product via the CMS. Access by the Client to the CMS to begin content entry/population will be dependent entirely on the progress of development and, once granted, the pace of content entry by the client will likely determine the eventual go-live date the Client arranges.

15. Terms of cancellation

16. Project delivery

Upon receiving any outstanding balance SEODIGITZ will provide works to the point of termination in disk format, conditional that the works can be provided in that format.
