I provide a few common sense Terms & Conditions to ensure that the interests of both parties are looked after, as follows:

1. Payment of a deposit, whether for the first year's domain name and hosting fees in advance, or for website design work where applicable, shall constitute a formal agreement for me to carry out the work requested and agreed between us.

2. All deposit payments, domain name fees, hosting fees and secure server fees are non-refundable.

3. All prices are shown on my website except for more specific detailed pricing, which is dependent on the amount of work involved. Such an example would be photograph compression or scanning, whereby a quoted price for this work will be provided in advance.

4. Where any quantity discount is offered and quoted in advance, changes requested to the original specifications on which the quotation was based will result in a revised quote being produced. In other words, if I quote for 50 pages and you subsequently reduce this number to 40 for example, the cost per page will increase.

5. All hosting services that include domain name fees, require the domain name to have either been purchased by The Web Builder or transferred across from the provider from which the domain was originally bought by the customer, to The Web Builder's server space for hosting. The Web Builder is not liable for any domain name fees (or transfer fees if applicable), where a customer has purchased a domain name elsewhere, until the successful transfer of that domain name. This does not affect the ownership of the domain name as the Registrant's name remains as originally specified, but The Web Builder becomes the Admin & Technical contact for that domain name, as well as looking after the appropriate domain name server (dns) settings.

6. Invoices are sent electronically for printing upon completion of the website. Payment terms are strictly 10 days from the date of the invoice. Full payment must be received within 10 days of the date of the invoice. Please remember if you pay by cheque, it can take up to 7 days for your payment to reach me, allowing for postage and clearance of the cheque.

7. No official receipt is usually issued. Clearance of a cheque or transfer of funds from a credit/debit card will be deemed acceptable as confirmation of payment. Please note however that a confirmation email will be sent when funds have been charged to a credit/debit card.

8. If payment is not received within 10 days of the date of the invoice, additional charges may be applied to cover costs incurred in recovering payment and the website to which it relates may be removed from the server.

9. All "goods" (web pages, banners, etc.) and "services" (hosting, domain name renewals, email forwarding, etc.) remain the property of The Web Builder until paid for in full as quoted and agreed. The Web Builder cannot be held liable for any loss of business as a result of "goods" or "services" being unavailable due to non-payment of an invoice.

10. If a website is not finished within 6 months from the date of the confirmation agreement due to the customer changing their mind or no longer requiring a website to be constructed, an invoice will be sent to cover costs of actual work done to date in accordance with the original agreement and quoted costs. In other words, if you change your mind, I don't expect you to pay for a completed website if I've only built a few pages of the site for you - you will only get invoiced for those pages I've worked on so far.

11. All quoted costs remain valid for a period of 6 months. Current prices, where possible, are displayed on this website.

12. Use of the support and services of The Web Builder entirely constitutes both agreement with and acceptance of all statements in these Terms & Conditions.
