Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions are applicable to all Web Development projects that are undertaken by Day 10 Internet.
1. Acceptance
A copy of these terms and conditions is submitted along with project quotations and must be agreed prior to work commencing. Alternatively, payment of an advance fee or payment online is an acceptance of our terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are always available on our website for review.
2. Charges
Charges for services to be provided by Day 10 Internet are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days unless alternate timescales have been agreed beforehand with the Client. Day 10 Internet reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after expiry of the valid timescale.
All Web Development projects will require an advance payment of fifty (50) percent of the project quotation total before work will commence. The remaining balance of the project quotation total will be due upon completion of the work prior to upload to the server or release of materials.
Charges for web development do not cover the release of source Photoshop or Flash files; if the Client requires these items then a separate quotation can be prepared.
Payment for services is due by online payment through Day 10 Internet oline payment services, cheque or bank transfer. Cheques should be made payable to Day 10 Internet and sent to 56 Berrington Road, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, WR15 8EJ.
3. Client Review
Day 10 Internet will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the Web site during the design and on completion. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies Day 10 Internet otherwise within ten (10) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.
In order to maintain quoted project schedules Day 10 Internet requires the Client to complete any review within three (3) days of any request to do so.
4. Project Schedule and Content Control
In the majority of projects, Day 10 Internet will install and publicly post or supply the Client’s Web site by the date specified in the project proposal. If no such date is specified, the timescale shall be within four weeks of the date initial payment is received from the Client, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by Day 10 Internet. An alternate timescale can be agreed during the initial project discussion.
In return, the Client agrees to delegate a single individual as ‘first-point-of-call’ to aid Day 10 Internet with completing the project in a satisfactory and expedient manner.
During the project, Day 10 Internet will require the Client to provide copy and images. If content is not provided within four (4) weeks of an official request by email then Day 10 Internet reserves the right to advise the Client of a revision to the final payment fee based on new or revised pricing schedules that may be introduced from time to time.
If content is not provided within eight (8) weeks from the original email request then the Client is considered to be in default of the project, the project will be terminated and the Client sent the final invoice for immediate payment. Day 10 Internet will agree, at its discretion, to recommence the project after agreement is reached on a new quotation document and once the original fees have been paid.
5. Payment

- Invoices will be sent out 14 days prior to the date they are due and must be paid by that date.
- If payment is not received then a reminder will be sent to you.

6. Default
If the Client in default has any information or files on Day 10 Internet’s Web Server, Day 10 Internet can, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web server. Day 10 Internet is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. If the Client requests Day 10 Internet to re-install this material to its web server then Day 10 Internet will agree, at its discretion, to re-install the material after agreement is reached on a new quotation document and once the original fees have been paid.
Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account.
