You the client (“Client”).
Icon Web Services, the company (“Company”).
Minimum Agreement Term is 10 Months.
Both parties agree as follows:
The Company will provide services available in the chosen maintenance plan the Client has signed up for. Any website provided will be created including everything listed on the Companies website or everything agreed in writing before the client signs up.
The person signing up for the website plan will automatically be assigned as the sign off person and is the only person authorised to request changes or cancel the contract. If the Client wishes to give another person this authority too, the Client will need to contact the Company with their name and email address and the Company will add them to the approved list.
If the Client no longer wishes for this additional person(s) to have this authority it is the Client’s responsibility to inform the Company.
The Client agrees to provide the Company with a direct debit mandate and authorises the Company to deduct payments of the current monthly and/or annual costs as published on the Company’s website. The bank account must be registered in the Client’s name or business.
There will be no refund or credit for partial months or years of service. Costs are chargeable and shall be payable until an account is terminated or cancelled by either the Client or the Company.
Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that the Company may have, if the Customer fails to pay the Company on the due date the Company may:
The Company may increase the prices at any time after the minimum agreement term by giving the Client not less than 1 month’s notice provided that the increase does not exceed 25% of the prices in effect immediately prior to the increase. The company will not increase pay monthly prices within the first 12 month period.
Pay annual clients will be signed up to a 12 month fixed-term contract and will not receive a full/partial refund if they cancel before the 12 month period has completed (unless otherwise agreed by the company).
The Client is responsible for providing content (unless these have been purchased as an Add-on Service). If no content or incorrect content is provided this is not the Company’s responsibility and the Client will still be billed as agreed.
The Company has the right to stop providing services or suspend services if payment is not received within 10 working days. If the missed payment has still not been received within 30 days the Company has the right to delete the website from their servers to a point that it can not be restored.
A content update is a change to existing content (text, contact information and images etc) and pages only, with the exception of news and blog articles which will be added as new pages. Any additional page requests after the website has launched will be chargeable (unless specified otherwise by the Company).
These inclusive amendments/updates are subject to fair usage. If for whatever reason the client’s use of this clause is excessive then the Company has the right to evaluate the clients spend and amend the amount on their next billing cycle.
Content updates on the standard plan are capped at 15 minutes per month. Any unused time can not be rolled over to subsequent months.
Content updates on the business plan are capped at 60 minutes per month. Any unused time can not be rolled over to subsequent months.
Content updates on the enterprise plan are capped at 2 hours per month. Any unused time can not be rolled over to subsequent months.
Any content updates that exceed the monthly plan cap will be charged at £20 per 30 minutes, with a 30 minute minimum charge.
The Company will always seek confirmation from the Client before charging additional fees for content updates. The Company will also notify clients when they are close to their monthly cap.
Any content provided must be owned by the Client and not infringe on any copyright laws.
The Client shall indemnify the Company against all claims in respect of any alleged infringement of copyright trademark or design.

Any website design or template created by the Company will remain the property of the Company before and during the contract until after the minimum agreement term and a formal request as been made and agreed/accepted by the Company.
If the Client wishes to purchase the rights to a website created by the Company, this will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
Any intellectual property rights for add-on service design work such as logo creation or business card creation shall be passed to the Client upon completion and payment.
Any domain names purchased by the Company for the Client will be the property of the Company and will remain so even if the contract is cancelled. The transfer of ownership to another supplier of the Clients choosing will be at the discretion of the Company.

Access to any data related to email accounts such as emails, contacts and appointments will be erased. The Client is responsible for taking their own backups and archives of email.

Upon migration, there is no guarantee that any historic emails will be available. It is the Clients responsibility to make the necessary arrangements to ensure a backup or archive is available to them after the transfer has been completed.
