Starter site - terms of business
This page sets out the terms under which IFA Systems Ltd will create and maintain a web site for you under our Starter site service. It also clarifies what we need from you in order to set up your site.
Please read the following text carefully. If you wish to proceed with ordering your Starter site please indicate your acceptance by pressing the "Accept" button at the bottom of this page. This will then take you to an on-line form which you can complete and submit to us. We will then contact you by e-mail to request any further details required to complete the setting up of your Introsite.
Terms and Conditions of Business for Starter site
We will set up a website for your firm based on our Starter site package, which will include the following features:
Domain name registration and hosting of your site
If you do not already have one, we can register the domain name of your choice (eg yourname.co.uk) in your name, and set up web forwarding (ie point your web address to your website files we host for you), for an additional fee. This will give you a web address, or URL, based on your domain name, eg www.yourname.co.uk. We will also set up e-mail forwarding, giving you a mailbox of eg enquiries@yourname.co.uk, to be collected from an existing mailbox of your choice.
If your domain is hosted elsewhere then we will ask you to amend the "A" records for that domain to point to the website files that we will host for you under our own account. If you want a full hosting account with us, please see our page on hosting for the options available. We cannot upload our website files to a third party account for security reasons.
Standard site content
The basic Starter site allows for us to
set up a site as seen, to include the features described.
Site setup and customisation
The standard one-off fee to set up your site includes for inserting your logo, in either a jpg or a gif format supplied by you by e-mail, into the available place in the website header. If any extra work is required to make this usable we will quote beforehand.
We will give you a choice of images from our own on-line library, and can give you access to enter your own introductory text.
This package does not allow for any customisation or expansions: if you want to add any extra pages or forms, or additional features, then you will need to consider one of our other packages.
Compliance
We are used to working closely with the major Networks to obtain
approval of our sites, and endeavour to use the relevant Regulatory
Statements and warnings, although different Networks require differing
warnings. Your site will be set up under an address known only
to you and us, so you and your compliance officer can see it but
the general public cannot.
Once you have confirmed you are happy with the site as set up,
it needs to be passed by your compliance officer, whether in-house
or through your Network. Once approved we will make your site live under
your chosen web address. We recommend that for your own compliance
purpose
you also keep a copy of your site as published as a record, and
of each page as it is amended in the future.
We will contact you to ensure that your site is reviewed each year, liaising with your Network if applicable, as part of our monthly fee. If more frequent reviews are required then we reserve the right to charge a fee for any additional work involved - we will always give you a quote before doing any work.
Browser compatibility
Our Starter sites have been tested with all current major browser software, to ensure they can be reliably viewed by as many people as possible. We cannot guarantee compatibility with any new browser software, or retrospective compatibility with upgrades to existing browsers.
Managing your site
We will give you a unique username and password to enable you to add your own text on-line through our Website
Manager programme.
Search engines and metatags
We will add some basic metatags to your main pages including your firm's name, and submit your site on launch to the major free search engines as standard. For a more comprehensive service, including search engine optimisation, please contact us. We do not undertake e-marketing on your behalf.
Backing up and security
We take regular backups of all the sites we
manage, and these are stored off-site.
Costs
The current setup and monthly costs are all as displayed on the introductory page. We reserve the right to vary the monthly cost and/or content by giving you a minimum of 1 month's notice by e-mail to the latest mailbox we have for you. Please note that it is our policy to provide a comprehensive service at an affordable price, and we make every effort to keep changes to content or price to a minimum.
Payment
On receipt of your order we will contact you by phone to set up a Direct Debit Mandate. We will invoice you for the initial setup and monthly costs, and request payment by Direct Debit within 14 days of receipt of your Direct Debit details. We will give you 14 days' notice of each payment, requested by
Direct Debit from your Bank. If for some reason your monthly payment
should
fail, we will inform you in writing within 1 week, asking for a
new Direct Debit Mandate to be completed and payment of the missed amount by cheque.
If payment for your site is not received within 14 days of the
due date, your site will be discontinued (or work will be suspended on unfinished sites) until the new Direct Debit Mandate arrangements
are in place. We will then apply a reconnection fee of £50 + VAT.
If for any reason outside our control your site should be suspended or taken off-line eg while amendments are made, the monthly payments will continue as normal, as the page will still be available for you to work on.
We will provide you with invoices for ongoing monthly payments
quarterly in advance, unless you request otherwise.
We will do our best to keep prices as stated, but reserve the right to pass on any unavoidable increases to you by giving 1 month's notice in writing.
Cancellation
Should you wish to cease your Starter site subscription
we request that you give us 1 month's written notice in advance.
Your subscription will then continue to that end of that period,
and any outstanding monies will be taken by DDM during that time.
Your site under your web address will then be disabled, and the data will then be deleted from our server.
IPR and copyright
The Intellectual Property Rights on any site based on the Starter site resides with IFA Systems Ltd, although you or your suppliers retain the right over any text or logos you supplied to us for incorporation within your site.
The contents and images of a Starter site which are provided by IFA Systems Ltd remain the property of IFA Systems Ltd, and may not be reproduced in any form whatsoever without the express written permission of IFA Systems Ltd.
Limit of liability
Although we aim to give our clients an excellent service, IFA Systems Ltd cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect loss due to delays in or interruption to our service. We shall not be held liable for any loss or damage caused by the use, misuse, unavailability or removal of any the services provided by our partner firms.
Variation
We reserve the right to vary these Terms at any time by giving you a minimum of 1 month's notice by e-mail to the latest mailbox we hold for you.
