These agreement terms would be set forth upon hiring UI Clout (web hosting platform / company / venture) and its Web Designer / Developer / IT Support to perform requested work for a Client's business or personal website.
Web Design and Web Hosting Terms of Use
Our web hosting packages are set for 1 YEAR renewal and thus we encourage our customers to take on yearly web hosting deals. Nonetheless, our clients still have the right to choose a monthly web hosting maintenance plan, considering it is bundled with a new website design plan. Under the condition of the pre-existing contract agreements, when Clients sign up and pay for web design, they shall not be working with other competing web designers where there is a lingering / unresolved contract. Those remaining contracts must be completed and/or resolved in order for the UI Clout web designer/developer to be hired. If Clients ever decide to NOT rehire the UI Clout web designer/developer for ongoing web maintenance IT support, they have an option of maintaining and updating their website themselves or they may delegate their website to a new web-designer IT support given that there was no pre-existing contract obligation with the UI Clout company. That is, if our Clients signed up ONLY for web hosting, then there is absolutely no obligation on their part to hire or rehire our web designer, which means they are entitled to choose a web designer/developer of their choice. However, their other web designer will be required to provide IT/Web support and will be responsible for the Client's website functionality, stability, features, speed/performance / SEO indexing and web security as well as maintenance, fixes, backups and updates. It is important to note: when Clients choose to dispose of the previous web design & IT support contract with UI Clout and if they abandon / neglect or reject their website designed by UI Clout, they then forfeit the right to have the web hosting support and ongoing maintenance on it. Especially, if they decide to have another company rebuild or recreate the website thus terminating any existing contracts with UI Clout. In this event, those Clients will hold UI Clout and its developers / designers & IT support harmless of any damages resulting from a neglected or abandoned website being present online or taken down offline by UI Clout.
In terms of web hosting solutions, we have established guidelines to ensure compliance with our platform's reasonable policies based offer/acceptance standards enabled by the conduct of ethics.
Our web hosting packages are divided into various different plans with scalable storage, bandwidth, features and resources to accommodate for individual business and/or personal needs and affordability budget. It is the Client's ultimate decision to select the appropriate hosting plan while UI Clout / IT Support can advise of its features and benefits suitable for a particular business website. It is also our Clients' responsibility to keep up with timely payments Any time there are past-due delinquent payments on Clients accounts, UI Clout has no obligation to renew their website hosting NOR to maintain and to update their website. In order for the services to be resumed, Clients must pay their owed balance and any agreed-upon compensation.
By default, ALL web hosting plans are on a Yearly basis plan that's negotiable to be monthly under the right conditions and covenants. On average, Clients will save more money signing up for yearly plans instead of monthly and will be eligible for loyalty discounts on additional projects PLUS there is more uptime guarantee with the prepaid yearly plan due to avoiding credit card billing interruptions and other matters.
