AO Design Terms & Conditions

The Nitty-gritty

  1. AO Design's Cost Estimates are subject to the final brief instructions of our clients. Cost Estimates are a costing guide, it must not be understood as a final cost calculation. Sometimes projects evolve on the fly and therefore increase in scope.
  2. A website remains a work in progress, it is never finished. A website project cannot continue indefinitely, it is therefore necessary for AO Design to determine in it's own discretion when a project is finished.
  3. A three month warranty, after date of final invoice, is applicable on all websites developed by AO Design. The warranty covers development faults and browser compatibility issues which will be repaired. AO Design cannot take responsibility for knock-on effects caused by errors.
  4. Author’s corrections are not included in the Cost Estimate. Please provide your finalised content in one electronic document. Content for a website must be provided according to the menu structure of the website.

  6. AO Design's minimum fee for services rendered is one hour, charged at our hourly rate.
