1. Acceptance
It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.
2. Charges
Charges for services to be provided by WALIDHASAN.COM are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. WALIDHASAN.COM Limited reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after the expiry of the 30 days.
Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all website design services require an advance payment of a minimum of thirty-three (33) percent of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. A second charge of thirty-three (33) percent is required after the development stage, with the remaining thirty-three (33) percent of the project quotation total due upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of materials.
Payment for services is due by cheque, bank transfer, or Credit or Debit card. Cheques should be made payable to WALIDHASAN.COM and sent to College House, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA13 9HL. Bank details will be made available on invoices.
3. Client Review
WALIDHASAN.COM will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall website development is completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies walidhasan.com otherwise within ten (10) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.
4. Turnaround Time and Content Control
WALIDHASAN.COM will install and publicly post or supply the Client’s website by the date specified in the project proposal, or at date agreed with Client upon WALIDHASAN.COM receiving initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by WALIDHASAN.COM
In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid WALIDHASAN.COM with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner.
During the project, WALIDHASAN.COM will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies, and sound files.
5. Failure to provide required website content:
All design material and information required to deliver the product must be provided within the time frame agreed at the point of sale. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%.
If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do within one week of project commencement we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go-ahead to start until you are ready to do so.
NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this.
Using our content management system you are able to keep your content up to date yourself.
6. Payment
Invoices will be provided by WALIDHASAN.COM upon completion but before publishing the live website. Invoices are normally sent via email for your convenience but are always available in your client area at http://myaccount.becreativegroup.co.uk; however, the Client may choose to receive hard copy invoices. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed and a late fee may be applied.
7. Additional Expenses
The client agrees to reimburse WALIDHASAN.COM for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the work. Examples would be the purchase of special fonts, stock photography specifically requested that we don’t already have available.
8. Web Browsers
WALIDHASAN.COM makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 & 9, Google Chrome, etc.). The client agrees that WALIDHASAN.COM cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.
WALIDHASAN.COM cannot accept responsibility for web pages that do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, WALIDHASAN.COM reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with
updated browser software.
9. Default
Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on WALIDHASAN.COM’s Webspace, WALIDHASAN.COM will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. WALIDHASAN.COM is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account. Cheques returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of £25 and the Client’s account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay to WALIDHASAN.COM reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by WALIDHASAN.COM in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

Loss or damage caused by any inaccuracy; Loss or damage caused by omission; Loss or damage caused by delay or error, whether the result of negligence or other cause in the production of the website; Loss or damage to clients’ artwork/photos, supplied for the site.

Such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal, and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid.
21. Return and Refund Policy
If a service has been requested and the order is finalized, no refund will be given where a customer changes their mind unless work has not yet started or domain registrations were unsuccessful.
As per registrar policy, all domain name registrations and renewals are final. No refunds are given on successful domain registrations or renewals. Once a domain name has been registered we are unable to alter them in name or extension, should additional domains be requested they will be chargeable at the current market rate plus admin fees.
Where a project has passed a period of One Hundred and Eighty (180) days and design material has not been received and a written complaint by a customer has not been received then no refund can or will be given although we may, at a senior managers discretion, offer to complete your work in the interest of maintaining our untarnished reputation providing we have received all material required for full completion of the project.
22. Cancellation Policy
We will work with our customers to help ensure that every single one of them is completely happy with the work we produce. In the unlikely event that we are unable to satisfy the customer’s needs, cancellation of the project must be made in writing by the customer. In the event that work is postponed or canceled at the request of the Customer, we reserve the right to retain a fee on the percentage of work completed.
23. Delivery Policy
Due to the electronic and virtual nature of our work, no physical product will be delivered. However we aim to complete the requested services within 30 days from the date on which the customer’s material is received. The Client must work with us to complete the web site in a timely manner. In some cases, delays receiving materials or other circumstances can slow the process of development. However, assuming no delay in receiving payment or receiving any materials we require, we agree to make all reasonable efforts to complete each project in a timely manner. We reserve the right to cancel the contract at cost to the Client should significant delays be experienced that are outside of WALIDHASAN.COM control. Examples include, but are not limited to:
lack of detailed documentation on the subject matter where requested lack of logos or design ideas where requested lack of return communication or correspondence failure to make required decisions significant illness acts of God other significant disruption
Upon any of these circumstances payment for all work already completed will be calculated and the final bill will be modified, all deposits will be forfeit. All our websites must be hosted on the hosting service of our choice and are non-transferable. Should a customer wish to leave our services, the domain name will be made available for an administration fee within 10 working days of receipt of the cancellation request. Domains are not transferable when nearing renewal. Should the domain be nearing renewal, an additional fee will be required to renew the domain to allow the transfer.
24. Search Engine Placement
We believe that no service provider can give you an absolute guarantee that they will attain 1st-page rankings for your website on Google or any other search engine, we believe this is impossible for any website promotion company to guarantee as none of them “owns” the search engines, and it is the search engines that ultimately decide where to place your website after our websites are built. We wish to provide you with the knowledge that whilst we correctly optimize your website for appropriate terms as part of our service and have a high success rate in the positioning achieved on Google and other search engines. We cannot offer a guarantee on this nor do we think any other company should, customers who want to improve natural rankings on search engines should seek the advice of a Search Engine Optimization company.
