You, the Client, are hiring Cre8 Visions located at 4751 Best rd, 400g, Atlanta, GA 30337 to design and develop a website for the estimated total price as outlined in our previous correspondence.
WHAT DO BOTH PARTIES ADHERE TO DO?
As our customer, you have the power and ability to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. You agree to provide us with everything that we need to complete the project including text, images, and other information as and when we need them, and in the format that we ask for.
You agree to review our work, provide feedback, and sign-off approval in a timely manner. Deadlines work two ways and you will also be bound by any dates that we set together. You also agree to abide by the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.
We have the experience and ability to perform the services you need from us and we will carry them out in a professional and timely manner. Along the way, we will endeavor to meet all the deadlines set. In the event of a delay caused by deferred feedback or collateral, we agree that Cre8 Visions, LLC is not accountable for a missed launch date.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Both parties agree to respect and keep each others’ trade practices, trademarks, proprietary information, and intellectual property confidential. Violation of this section voids this agreement without indemnity to Cre8 Visions, LLC.
DETAILS OF THE WORKS
We will create designs for the look-and-feel, layout, and functionality of your website. This contract includes one main design, one initial revision, and one final revision.
CMS BASED WEBSITE PROJECTS AND NON-CMS BASED WEBSITE PROJECTS
We will test all our markup and CSS in current versions of all major browsers including those made by Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Google. We will also test to ensure that pages will display visually in a similar, albeit not necessarily an identical way, in Microsoft Edge for Windows.
We will not test websites in old or abandoned browsers, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 5.5,6, 7, and 8 for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera unless otherwise specified. If you need to show the same or similar visual design to visitors using these older browsers, we will charge you at the daily rate set out in our original estimate for any necessary additional code and its testing.
All sites we build are multi-platform responsive (They display dynamically depending on the browser size of the device ). Your website will not display identically across different devices.
We warrant that all functionalities will exist across all tablets, smartphones, and PCs (with the exception of proprietary browsers on specific devices like the Blackberry).
WordPress/Webflow/Shopify is a third-party tool and therefore we can’t be responsible for any bugs associated with WordPress/Webflow/Shopify or its plugins. If any bugs are found during the development phase or 30 days after launch we’ll fix it (if possible) or update WordPress/Webflow/Shopify or the faulty plugin if it’s available, but after the 30 days, we’ll charge at our hourly rate to repair.
OTHER CONTENT
If needed, all photographs you will supply us should be in digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs we can suggest vendors of stock photography. If you choose to defer additional photo selection to us, we will be happy to do so. Please note that this is an additional service charged at our hourly rate (up to 8 photos). We provide up to 15 premium stock photos that we can use for your website.
CHANGES AND REVISIONS
The estimate/quotation prices at the beginning of this document are based on the number of hours that we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything that we have agreed on. If you do want to change your mind, add extra pages or templates, or even add new functionality, that won’t be a problem. You will be charged the standard rates set out in the estimate we gave you, and changes will be implemented before the initial QA. Along the way, we might ask you to put requests in writing so we can keep track of changes.
CHARGES FOR SERVICES PERFORMED
Functionality or feature requests above and beyond those listed in the budget and/or the functionality specs may be considered out-of-scope and an amendment to the budget will be recommended. Projects that go dormant for longer than 14 days will incur a fee to resume work at the discretion of Cre8 Visions. This includes any none communication between the client to Cre8 Visions.
LEGAL
No web functionality is perpetually flawless. We do not guarantee that the functions contained in any web page layouts or in a completed website will be error-free for the foreseeable future.
We agree that we are not liable to you or any third party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of the operation of or inability to operate this website and any other web pages. Once the sign-off document is completed and/or the credentials are submitted to you, all responsibility for maintaining the site is no longer our accountability.
If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason is unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
COPYRIGHTS
You guarantee to us that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork that you provide us for inclusion in the website are either owned by your good selves or that you have permission to use them.
DIGITAL MILLENNIUM ACT
Cre8 Visions, LLC shall assume that the copyright of all the images you provide either belong to you or are royalty-free. Cre8 Visions, LLC shall assume no liability in the event of intellectual property rights infringement including, but not limited to images and content.
When we receive your final payment, copyright is automatically assigned as follows: You own the graphics and other visual elements that we create for you for this project. We will give you a copy of all files and you should store them really safely as we are not required to keep them or provide any native source files that we used in making them.
You also own text content, photographs, and other data you provided unless someone else owns them. We own the XHTML markup, CSS, and other code and we license it to you for use on only this project.
We love to show off our work and share what we have learned with other people. We reserve the right with your permission, to display and link to your completed project as part of our portfolio and to write about the project on websites, in magazine articles, and in books about web design.
PAYMENTS
We are sure you understand how important it is as a business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. As we’re also sure you’ll want to keep each other as business partners, you agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule, which will be as follows but may be revised based on further conversations between us.
50% at the start of the project, 50% upon project completion (prior to site going live on your chosen hosting provider)
Deposits are only billed if the project estimate is over $1000. Any project less than $1000 must be paid in full in order to commence work.

CANCELLATION OF PLANS
You have the right to modify, reject, cancel, or stop any and all plans or work in process. However, you agree to reimburse us for all costs and expenses we incurred prior to your change in instructions, and which relate to non-cancelable commitments, and to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless for any liability relating to such action. We agree to use our best efforts to minimize such costs and expenses.
