WHAT DO BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO DO?

As our client, you have the power to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. Upon doing so, you are agreeing to provide us with everything necessary to complete the project including logo, text, images, link(s) to social media, hosting credentials, and any other information needed, upon request, in the required format. I wish to avoid any delays. Deadlines work both ways. You, as well, will be bound by any dates/timelines we set forth. You also agree to adhere to the payment schedule outlined in this agreement. I have the experience and ability to perform the requested services and will carry out our work in a professional and timely manner. I cannot be held responsible for a missed website launch date or deadline if you have not provided all content and/or revisions on time. I reserve the right to delay project completion to my next available date if you miss a project deadline. 
ENGAGEMENT AND DELIVERABLES

The estimated time required to complete your website is 3 Days plus 2 Days for revisions on your scheduled start date. I will commence the work ONLY after you accept this contract and pay the non-refundable initial deposit. Please, keep in mind I rely on you and your team to provide me with the necessary assets (including but not limited to website text(copy), photos, social media links, products, pricing, etc.), and approvals in order for us to work on your website, and to avoid impacting your website launch date. 
The timeline of your project and the proceeding and following weeks are to go as follows:
A) After your contract is signed, we will send you over a Notion Page with everything you need to start gathering content for your website. The content requested in the board are due a minimum of one week before your scheduled design slot.


B) For a 5 Days website design, we take all of your design inspiration along with your copy and pictures you have provided and we begin to build out your website on Monday at 8AM CEST, and typically by Wednesday 3PM CEST we will be done with the main design all except for responsiveness and little things. This will give you a two days window for any edits to the design.


C) Additional revisions may be done after your design week has ended, however, they will be subject to an hourly rate until all edits are complete.


D) By 5PM CEST of Friday, if no edits are left then the website will be considered complete and any additional revisions after the fact will be subject to the hourly rates discussed above. (You do get 2 weeks of follow-up support. However, this is not for any design changes. It is only for if you have any remaining questions after watching your training videos or if some sort of website functionality issue is detected.)




TERM


This contract is active from the time you make the deposit payment and accept the terms and conditions until the completion of the design and all revisions on the website. This will encompass signing the contract and submitting it, the time between signing and your start date which will include a number of interactions from calls to prep work, your scheduled design time, and your 2-week follow-up period. Any renewal or extension of the term must be discussed and agreed upon by both parties.

This can include but is not limited to your personal information (logins, emails, etc.)  company and employee information, financial statements and records, supplier and vendor information, etc. Studio Zash acknowledges and agrees that such information is and is to remain confidential and will not be disclosed with any third parties whatsoever unless explicitly requested by you.

ERROR REVIEW

I provide you with a 2-week window from the date of website completion for error review. This does not include new website revisions, but errors that may have occurred during migration. This includes but is not limited to fixing broken links, updating text, swapping out pictures, and other issues as such. It is your responsibility as the client to review your website during this time and point out any errors to be corrected. Any error that you find after the 7 days, will be charged at the current hourly rate at the time of you inquiring.


Please note: We are not your long-term IT support. We will be happy to help you however we can, but any support outside of your 2-week follow-up period will be subject to being charged at our hourly rate at the time of you inquiring.


BROWSER FUNCTIONALITY

All of our websites are tested for functionality on current Safari, Chrome, Firefox internet browsers. I do not guarantee that your website will look exactly the same on every screen, and may appear differently due to varying screen resolutions and aspect ratios.
STATEMENT OF WORK

I’ve prepared the price quote (refer to the proposal) based on everything we have discussed or that you have picked on your own, including any correspondence via email, in-person, virtual proposal forms, or phone calls. The breakdown is outlined in the Package Proposal document which includes the scope of work, project objectives, tasks, deliverables, certain terms, conditions, and requirements as well as payment of the project. I am only responsible for the items outlined in the Package Proposal. Items not included in the Statement of Work are not a part of the project nor have they been included in the quoted cost. If you have any additional feature requests, changes in tasks, changes in deliverables, or any scope modifications, beyond what was agreed on in the original Package Proposal, additional billable time will be incurred to you, the client, at the current hourly rate at the time of you requesting to hire us.
REVISIONS

The price estimate includes time for revisions, and that will not exceed 10% of the total budget of web development time. Should you request additional revisions beyond what is included, or that exceed the allocated time, you will receive an email notification from me requesting a confirmation that you wish to proceed with said revisions and agree to be billed at our current hourly rate at the time of you requesting to hire us. After I have received your confirmation, I will proceed.
RESCHEDULING

We understand that sometimes life happens, and things don't go as planned. Therefore, if the need does arise to reschedule your project, the provisions set forth are as follows:
A.) There will be no penalty to reschedule your project if it is at least 4 weeks ahead of your scheduled design date. This will give us plenty of time to shuffle around the schedule, and make your original design date(s) available to other paying clients.
B.) If you must reschedule your project within 4 weeks of your design date, you will owe a $500 rescheduling fee unless we are able to find another client to take your designated dates. We will do our best to find another client to switch dates with you if needed.


ALLOWANCES

In addition, I cannot be held liable for the functionality of third part plugins or software, recommended or otherwise.

EXCLUSIVE DESIGN CREDIT

Studio Zash LLC reserves the right to apply the text “Designed by Studio Zash” at the bottom of your website. Should you wish to remove the credit, a fee of $250 will apply.

STYLE RELEASE

By signing this contract you warrant that you have reviewed Studio Zash's previous works and have a reasonable expectation of your website's outcome.
