Please note :

CONTRACTUAL PERIOD

For all projects [including projects that do not require a contract]: Unless otherwise agreed upon, the contractual period between is made effective as of [DATE OF PURCHASE] by and between [Client NAME] (“CLIENT”) and LJD MEDIA, LLC (“LJD”) of 412 N Main St, Suite 100; Buffalo, WY 82834, USA

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

All project terms and deliverables and timelines are reflected in the project contract or on the website sales page (for all projects under $1000 USD).

For all website projects, LJD shall provide any necessary support and/or correct errors CLIENT reports within seven (7) days of publication of the website, and there will be no additional charges for these corrections.

Services under this contract do not include ongoing technical support for any items unrelated to the terms of reference. Email issues and general PC/Network issues should be directed to CLIENT’S technical support team. Correction of any technical issues not related to the Services of this Contract may be declined or billed at LJD’s regular hourly rate at LJD’s sole discretion.

CLIENT understands that upon completion and installation of the site on CLIENT’s web space, CLIENT assumes responsibility of complete web space maintenance. LJD will not maintain the site, nor will it manage the site.

Future work related to the above services (i.e., “maintenance work”) will be billed and paid via detailed Invoice. Since the maintenance work will be an extension of the services which are the subject of this Contract, no new Contract will be required.

PAYMENT

Payment shall be made to LJD Media, LLC, via Paypal or Stripe.

CLIENT agrees to pay LJD in accordance with the agreed upon payment schedule.

All payments are in USD. LJD shall publish the website on CLIENT’s web space when site development is complete and full payment from CLIENT has been tendered to LJD.

In addition to any other right or remedy provided by law, if CLIENT fails to pay for the Services when due, LJD has the option to treat such failure to pay as a material breach of this Contract, and may cancel this Contract and/or seek legal remedies.

Final payments due must be paid in full before the website is published to CLIENT’S web space.

CHARGEBACKS

If LJD receives a chargeback or payment dispute (i.e., PayPal Dispute) from a credit company or bank, the project and/or service will be suspended without notice. A $50.00 chargeback fee (issued to recover fees passed on to LJD by the credit company), plus any outstanding balances accrued as a result of the chargeback(s) must be paid in full before service is restored, files delivered, or any further work is done. Instead of issuing a chargeback, contact LJD to address any billing issues. Requesting a chargeback or opening a PayPal dispute for a valid charge from LJD is fraud, and is never an appropriate or legal means of obtaining a refund. Please read and make sure you fully understand the LJD refund policy prior to making a payment or entering in to this Contract.

RE-START FEE

For all projects, the entire project must be completed within the allotted timeframe. In the event of extenuating or challenging circumstances the CLIENT may request to have the project put on hold. If the project is put on hold, per CLIENT’s request/instruction, at any time during the timeframe, a Re-Start fee commensurate with the size of the project (typically $250 for One-Day Websites, $500+ for larger, custom projects) will be paid before LJD will resume work on the project. In the event a project is temporarily halted within the standard timeframe, the count will also temporarily halt.

ADDITIONAL EDITING AND CHANGES

Any requested changes to the description of services stated above shall constitute additional editing and may incur additional charges or fees as deemed necessary by LJD. All additional changes must be submitted and approved by both parties in writing by approved Written Change Order form. If a Written Change Order form is executed to accompany this Contract, a copy must be attached to this Contract.

Non-exhaustive list of examples of editing and changes that will incur additional fees:

  • Addition of pages, graphics, or any significant features
  • Any graphic, page design template or page design requiring more than two (2) rounds of revisions
  • Revisions to text content provided ready for publication

CANCELLATION

If cancellation occurs within 48 hours of purchase, CLIENT is entitled to a full refund.  After 48 hours, the following outlines the LJDrefund policy.

For all custom projects: If CLIENT cancellation occurs prior to commencement of work on the project, CLIENT shall be entitled to a 50% refund of the fee paid. Because time for your project is reserved upon initial payment, full refunds are not granted under any circumstances after the 48 hour timeframe has passed.

If CLIENT cancellation occurs after commencement of project, fees will be refunded as follows:

  • If cancelled between days 1-15, 40% refund.
  • If cancelled between days 16-30, 25% refund.
  • If cancelled between days 31-90 (and beyond), no refund.

If LJD cancels prior to commencement of project, LJD shall refund 100% of the fee paid. If LJD cancels after commencement of the project, any remaining pre-paid balance shall be refunded and outstanding Invoices cancelled.
