Payment Obligations, Renewals, and Cancellations
#1. Website Development Payment Obligations: A down payment is required to begin development of your website. This is usually 50% of the upfront design fee, unless an alternative contract or proposal specifies a different amount. The outstanding balance on your website is due after the design, navigation and pages have been approved and built. Final payment is due regardless of whether all content for the pages has been sent by the client. This provision is in place to encourage the client to get content submitted promptly so that their site can go live. It also ensures that Galaxy Web Technologies Agency paid for performing their duty under the proposal, despite tardy content from the client. After payment, We will still post outstanding content AT NO CHARGE for 3 months.
#2. Website Development Cancellation: If site design and development work has already begun (such as creating a design concept), then the down payment is non-refundable. Galaxy Web Technologies may elect at its sole discretion to offer a partial refund depending upon the circumstances.
#3. Stock Photography Payment Obligations: Stock photography includes most photos and/or images not provided by the client. Stock photography purchased on behalf of client for use in website development is billable. This amount is separate from the amount quoted for website design and development. Some pictures are more expensive than others, in which case we will solicit client approval and communicate the cost to purchase photos before purchasing.
#4. Description of Ongoing Costs:
