5. Client Requirements (Refer
Appendix C).
6. Site ownership and copyright.
- Client retains ownership of domain names registered directly through Network Solutions or other Network information centres.
- Upon final approval by Client, pages will be published to Client’s Website address. Impala grants to Client the right to use Impala’s creativity on and for the Website only, and for no other purpose.
- All source code, HTML, images, Javascripting, techniques, applications, modifications, including all interim or working files, or advice always remain the property of Impala, its subcontractors, original programmers or source graphic image suppliers and the copyright remains with them.
- Original artwork, images or text content supplied to Impala by Client remains the property of Client.
- Upon final payment by Client of all monies owing to Impala under this agreement, Impala will assign to Client the right to use and replicate (including adding to or modifying) the assembled work for its own lawful use as a Website, subject to any prior terms and conditions of use granted by the original providers
7. Financial. Client agrees to pay to Impala the total project cost covered by this agreement, plus applicable taxes, according to the following schedule, using estimates of total costs if actual costs are not available:
- One-third non-refundable deposit upon commencement of the work.
- One-third upon final approval and uploading to Client’s Website address.
- Balance within 30 days thereafter.
Late payments, after 30 days of invoicing will be subject to
a late payment charge of 1% per month (12% pa). Payments in arrears
beyond 90 days may result in Impala commencing collection procedures,
in which case Client agrees that collection fees charged by debt
collection firms shall be added to the unpaid debt amount. Client
may further be liable for other costs relating to non-payment,
including lawyer fees and court costs.
Impala’s design fees will
be billed at the hourly rate of $75. This rate will also apply
to additional work requested by Client beyond the original agreement
and for major changes, site maintenance, training or consulting.
Programming charges or professional graphic design work outsourced
to subcontractors will be at their customary hourly rates, which
usually will be in the range of $75 to $100 per hour. All hourly
rates are subject to change without notice.
8. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by either party, without cause, by giving the other party 7 days written notice. If payments are more than 30 days overdue, or if the project completion date is delayed by more than 2 months because of failure by Client to deliver text content or images necessary for the project, then Impala may elect to exercise its option to terminate the agreement.
In the event of termination by either Impala or Client, all costs incurred to that point will immediately become due and payable, at the hourly rates specified in this agreement, subject to a minimum of the amount paid as a non refundable deposit if terminated by Client.
9. Limitation of liability. Client expressly agrees that use of Impala’s Web design services is at Client’s sole risk. Neither Impala nor its subcontractors make any warranty as to the accuracy or the results that may be obtained through use of the Website. Under no circumstances shall Impala or its subcontractors be liable for any acts of omission or direct or consequential damages resulting from the use of the Web pages. Client agrees further that registration of the website with Internet search engines or any other form of advertising or promoting the website, including the results derived therefrom, are expressly excluded from the scope and intention of this Web Design Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client’s exclusive remedies for all damages or losses of any kind shall not exceed the total cost of this Web Design Agreement.
10. Indemnity. CLIENT HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFEND IMPALA AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS AGAINST ANY CLAIM OR ACTION OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE WEBSITE DESIGN OR ANY OF ITS ELEMENTS.
11. Jurisdiction. This agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of The Province of Ontario and of the Internet.
