CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
YOUR BUSINESS acknowledges that Innovative Marketing SA is an independent entity and not an employee. This engagement is a collaborative, professional relationship based on mutual respect, courtesy, and consideration, similar to a partnership of equals.
To maintain efficiency and minimise miscommunication, YOUR BUSINESS agrees to designate a single point of contact for all communications. Given the virtual nature of this collaboration, YOUR BUSINESS recognises the critical importance of clear and timely communication, particularly via email, and commits to responding promptly to queries, requests, and communications from Innovative Marketing SA.
Furthermore, YOUR BUSINESS understands that Innovative Marketing SA serves multiple clients and requires reasonable notice to accommodate requests and projects effectively. A lack of planning or miscommunication on the part of YOUR BUSINESS shall not constitute an emergency for Innovative Marketing SA. Where necessary, Innovative Marketing SA may request further clarification on project details to ensure expectations are met and to deliver the highest quality of service.
DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN METHODOLOGY
We provide rapid-deployment, entry-level websites designed for speed and essential online visibility. These sites are built using standard modern frameworks rather than manual, custom-coded development. Please note that the limited-time fee is inclusive of one set of revisions. Any additional work required will be billed at our hourly fee.
-
Standardised Layouts: We provide a professional "look-and-feel" based on your industry. We do not provide static mockups or bespoke design iterations.
-
Automated Workflow: The site is generated interactively. We use "atmosphere" (colour, typography, and layout) to align with your brand, but the technical structure remains standard to ensure quick delivery and optimal performance.
CONTENT & GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE (GBP) SYNC
-
Source Data: These websites are primarily populated with information, images, and contact details pulled mainly from your existing Google Business Profile (GBP).
-
Accuracy: You are solely responsible for ensuring your information is accurate and up to date. We are not liable for incorrect information, outdated pricing, or broken links synced from your profile or provided by you.
-
Updates & Revisions: Because these sites are designed as rapid-deployment, standard solutions, any manual updates, changes, or revisions requested after the initial site generation will be quoted and billed at our standard hourly rate.
-
Text Content: While we provide guidance, all specific website text must be provided by you in the final format you wish it to appear. We do not provide grammar correction or copywriting services for this entry-level tier.
TERMINATION & "AS-IS" DELIVERY
- Limited Support: As this is an entry-level product, it is delivered "as-is" based on the capabilities of the current tools. Extensive customisations or feature requests outside the standard scope will be billed separately at our standard hourly rate.
COMPATIBILITY & TESTING
We ensure that your website provides an appropriate experience across modern, high-market-share browsers. We do not support or test for outdated browsers or niche devices.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We are available by email and ZoomSphere for technical support. This works best for us for two reasons:
- It gives us time to research your query, should we need to
- It provides a supported trail that you can refer back to, should you need help with the same issue again
AVAILABILITY AND COMMUNICATION
This project includes a set number of hours for management. Time spent in meetings (on-site or virtual) will be deducted from the allocated hours.
We are available via email and ZoomSphere Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Fridays from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Central African time. Our normal response time is one business day, though our response time may vary. We do not work on weekends or holidays.
Email and ZoomSphere are the primary means of communication accepted for our work together. We do not communicate via mobile phone, text message, social media, or instant/private messaging (like Facebook Messenger) since we cannot track these requests as a team. No response will be made to any messaging or notices through those unapproved means as those methods of communication will not be monitored by support personnel.
We are available for phone calls during office hours, but unplanned calls longer than 10 minutes will be billed. Telephoned or video meetings should be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations require 24 hours' notice; missed meetings or insufficient notice will incur a charge of R 650.00 per hour.
DORMANT WEBSITES
It is incredibly important that the project moves along smoothly, so please be prepared to respond and supply feedback in a timely manner. If you take more than 10 working days to return communication about your project, the project is subject to be declared dormant without a refund.
Should you, in the future, wish to continue the project within a six-month period, a R1,500.00 reactivation fee will be due before we add the project to our schedule again.
Should you wish to continue with the project after six months, the reactivation fee will be payable, and we will have to re-quote the project based on our current prices.
GRAPHICS AND PHOTOGRAPHS
Basic artwork is included. If additional photography is required, you will need to provide images, or we can arrange this through our partner photographer for an extra charge. Please supply logos in editable, vector format and, ideally, provide a brand guide.
You should supply logos in an editable, vector digital format. If you have a brand guide, that would be even better! Should you require a brand guide, please discuss options with us.
LEGAL STUFF
We will provide services in line with industry standards. However, we cannot guarantee that our work will be error-free, nor can we be held liable for lost profits or any other incidental, consequential, or special damages. Your liability to us is limited to the fees paid under this agreement.
In the event that any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, it will be deemed severable, and the remainder of the agreement will remain in force.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
You guarantee that any materials you provide (text, images, etc.) are either owned by you or you have the right to use them. We guarantee that any materials we provide are either owned by us or we have permission to use them.
Upon full payment, we will assign all intellectual property rights to you, except for any pre-existing intellectual property or work developed separately from the project. We retain ownership of any work produced before or outside this project.
Content produced by us will remain under Innovative Marketing SA® trademark and may not be used outside the agreement period without written consent.
DISPLAYING OUR WORK
We may display aspects of the work we complete, including drafts, final designs, and articles, in our portfolio or other publications.
