Website Design

Whilst every endeavour will be made to ensure that the website and any scripts or programs are free of errors, Webimedia cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred due to malfunction, the website or any part of it.

Webimedia cannot take responsibility for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the client. We reserve the right to refuse any material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material.

Any additions to the brief once development is underway may impact upon deadlines and specified delivery dates. The client will be provided with an estimate of how much impact the additions will make on deadlines but no guarantee is offered that revised deadlines will be met. Webimedia reserve the right to charge an according amount for further additions and this amount will be agreed with the client before development recommences.

Database, Application and E-Commerce Development

Webimedia cannot take responsibility for any losses incurred by the use of any software created for the client. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure products are problem free and accurate, the ultimate responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that all software is functioning correctly before use.

Where applications or sites are developed on servers not provided by Webimedia, the client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed. Where large applications are to be developed, it is the client's responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment.

Webimedia will test fully all applications and programming relating to a site that they have developed before it is handed over to the client. Where "bugs", errors or other issues are found after the site is live, Webimedia will correct these issues to meet the standards outlined in the brief.
