Conflicting Terms and Conditions.

Any additional attachments to this quote or in any other form of writing relating to service(s) provided by Quantum Web Solutions are also legally binding.

Domain Name and Web Hosting
When new domain registration and web hosting are a part of the quote, Quantum Web Solutions require upfront payment for the web hosting and domain registration costs. Ownership of the Domain name and web hosting will not be transferred until full payment of the accepted quote is received. Should the project be cancelled before completion, an administration fee of $65 ex GST will apply to have the domain name and web hosting transferred to you the client.

Quantum Web Solutions hold no responsibility over errors or downtime caused by third party web hosting companies. If a web hosting company makes changes to the hosting servers which causes changes to be required on your website, this will be charged to the client at standard maintenance rates. On the servers we resell, there is a 99.9% uptime guarantee. If you site uptime is not within this range, then your monthly hosting fee will be free. If you have paid upfront for a block of months, the month will be added on to your current hosting period.

It is the responsibility of the client to renew their web hosting and domain name on or before expiry. For an extra fee Quantum Web Solutions can manage this, and renew on behalf of the client.

Payment Terms
Deposit - Quantum Web Solutions require a 40% deposit for the total value of the quote which includes the domain name and web hosting costs. Upon approval of the design draft, an additional 30% is required, with the balance payable on completion. This amount is non-refundable once the project has commenced, unless it falls within the guidelines of our guarantee.

The agreed quote includes all services requested by the client up to and including the point of the date identified on the quote. Any services requested after this date are not included in the quote and therefore carry additional costs. Such additional services may include (but are not limited to) additional pages or image galleries. In the event that additional services are required, Quantum Web Solutions will advise the end user of the additional costs associated (in writing). The end user must confirm (in writing) they are satisfied with the additional services and their associated costs before work is commenced in relation to these services.

Refund Policy
Quantum Web Solutions refund policy is available at: Refund Policy and forms part of the terms and conditions.

While payment of the agreed invoice is not due till seven days after completion of the project, if the project is delayed for any reason due to the client’s circumstances; after a twenty one day period, an invoice requesting part payment may be requested before the project is fully completed. Part payment will be based on what Quantum Web Solutions deem as the total work completed.

Design Layout
An initially draft will be created for the design layout and colours. Should you the client change the colours or layout after the draft has been accepted and the project has started additional costs may be applied at the standard hourly rate listed on the quote. We do of course understand that ‘tweaking’ will be needed to get the site perfect before the final version. This is standard and does not incur additional costs. If the client has specified a design layout to be used, and the quote is based on that, any changes from this design will be subject to a new quotation.

Image Use
All images used by Quantum Web Solutions on our clients websites remain the property of Quantum Web Solutions -or a third party- unless the images are provided by the client for specific use on the clients website. Quantum Web Solutions only uses images that are Royalty Free or owned by Quantum Web Solutions. Quantum Web Solutions is of the understanding that when a client provides us with their own image(s) that the client has permission/ownership to use the images for their website. Quantum Web Solutions holds no responsibility should a client supply us with an image they do not own or do not have permission to use. The client holds all liability should any legal claim arise due to incorrect usage.

The included quote includes up to two low cost royalty free images per page where applicable. Any special requests for imagery may incur a further cost over and above the quote, unless originally specified before the quote has been put together. Where it is required that images need to be edited based on the customer’s specifications, Quantum Web Solutions reserve the right to charge additional costs over and above the quote where time consuming editing is needed. These extra costs will be quoted upfront and agreed upon before the service is supplied. Images that are supplied within a document such as a pdf or word format -as an example- will most likely require editing and therefore may incur extra costs.

Website Copyright

The client cannot duplicate the website and host it on another domain or website without permission from Quantum Web Solutions.
