SERVICE AGREEMENT
Domain Name Registration
Jasar Web Solutions offers domain name registration services. The registration fees for each domain name required by Client are payable separate and apart from website design and hosting service charges. Client may request Jasar Web Solutions to complete such registration(s) on Client’s behalf, in which case Client shall be billed separately for the applicable domain name registration fees. Alternatively, registration of domain names may be completed by Client, in which case Client assumes all responsibilities to maintain and manage the domain name and its technical aspects.
In either event, Jasar Web Solutions and Client agree that Client shall own the domain name so long as Client either pays for the domain name registration and/or renewal, or timely reimburses Jasar Web Solutions for such expenditure. Client understands that domain name registration fees are payable annually, and that failure to make timely payment prior to expiration may subject the domain name to suspension or cancellation by the domain name registrar. In the event of such suspension or cancellation Client may be subject to additional reinstatement fees and even the possible loss and subsequent registration of the domain name by a third party.
Domain Name Management Services
Provided Client contracts with Jasar Web Solutions for domain name management, administrative, technical and billing purposes Jasar Web Solutions may be named within the domain registrar’s records. Ownership of the domain name, however, shall vest with Client so long as Client shall pay the associated domain name registration and renewal costs.
Website Hosting Services
Client understands that website hosting services are separate from website design services. Client understands and agrees that additional hosting service charges may apply in the event bandwidth and file storage utilization is deemed excessive (involving seriously above average utilization). Jasar Web Solutions agrees, however, that no additional bandwidth or file storage service charges will apply without at least 30 days prior notification.
Jasar Web Solutions makes every effort to have its webserver computers operational and connected to the Internet at all times, and has a history of maintaining such connectivity more than 99.9% of the time. Client understands that there can be conditions beyond the control of Jasar Web Solutions whereby Internet connectivity may be interrupted.
In the event Client utilizes a website hosting service other than Jasar Web Solutions, Client understands that Jasar Web Solutions must have full access, including “write permissions,” to the webservers upon which Client’s website resides. Jasar Web Solutions recommends (and depending upon the design, may require) that the webservers hosting Client’s website utilize the Unix operating system, and provide current versions of PHP and MySQL.
Client also understands that in the event the scope of its website changes, to require addition of specialized services, [including but not limited to Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and encryption services and ecommerce shopping cart software], additional hosting and administrative charges may be incurred.
Timely Completion
Client understands that timely completion of the project is a shared responsibility of both Jasar Web Solutions and Client. Jasar Web Solutions agrees to complete the project in a timely fashion, contingent upon Client supplying Jasar Web Solutions with all pertinent materials, graphics, text, photographs and such other information as may be required. Delays in Jasar Web Solutions receipt of such items will result in delays in project completion.
Jasar Web Solutions will make all attempts possible to provide quick and reliable service to the Client and clients website. If the client discovers errors within programs or web content, the Client is responsible to notify Jasar Web Solutions, if Jasar Web Solutions is the one responsible in making changes and updates to the Clients website, of such errors so they can be fixed.
Domain Email Services
In the event Client elects to utilize the website or domain hosting services offered by Jasar Web Solutions, Jasar Web Solutions also offers domain email services for Clients Domain.
The email services provided by Jasar Web Solutions are server-based, where Client’s email software accesses the server directly to send and retrieve email messages. Jasar Web Solutions also offers a web-based email service, whereby Client may send and retrieve email messages through a website based interface.
Client is advised to practice safe Internet email procedures, taking special precautions against receiving or inadvertent sending of email-based computer virus infections. Jasar Web Solutions reserves the right to restrict email sending privileges through its email servers from any domain found to be infected.
Website Content
Unless otherwise agreed, Client is responsible for providing Jasar Web Solutions with raw content for the project. The term “content” shall encompass textual, graphical and photographic elements, including any existing logos, pamphlets, brochures, or other marketing materials pertinent to the project. In the case of logos or other artwork, Jasar Web Solutions requests the highest quality images available, and in electronic format if possible. It is within the scope of this agreement that Jasar Web Solutions shall make grammatical and stylistic corrections, along with artistic improvements, enhancements and embellishments to the raw content provided, as requested, needed or appropriate to satisfy the objective(s) of the website.
Photographs and Graphic Images
Any photographs or graphic images to be included in the Project need to be supplied in, or converted to, digital form. Most photographs and graphic images will require resizing, cropping, enhancement or other modification and optimization to be suitable for use in Internet websites. Photographs or other images supplied in other than digital form may also need to be scanned to digital form. In the event photography is required for the Project but not supplied by Client, Jasar Web Solutions will either locate suitable stock photographs or arrange for professional photography. Client agrees to pay all costs incurred in the acquisition of suitable photographs, including any mileage and/or travel expenses. The time involved in obtaining photographs, including travel time, shall be charged at Jasar Web Solutions standard hourly rate, or such other rates as charged by the photographer(s) involved in the project.
Subcontracting or Assignment of Portions of Project
Jasar Web Solutions reserves the right to assign subcontractors to such portions of the project as Jasar Web Solutions may see fit, in order to insure timely completion of quality work. Compensation and supervision of such subcontractors, if any, shall be the responsibility of Jasar Web Solutions, unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon between the Parties. If a Non-Disclosure Agreement has been (or shall be) executed by the Parties, any subcontractors assigned by Jasar Web Solutions shall be required to execute similar Non-Disclosure Agreements protecting the interests of Client. All subcontracted services will be included unless otherwise noted on the cost estimate contract or any addendum thereof.
Copyrights and Trademarks
Client represents to Jasar Web Solutions and unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to Jasar Web Solutions for inclusion in web pages are owned by Client, or that Client has permission from the rightful owner(s) thereof, to use each of these elements.
