7.2 Should external factors force us to alter our service provisions, we will inform you immediately. We will minimise these changes and aim to provide services as close to the original agreement as possible.

7.4 Scope expansions that also increase costs must be mutually agreed upon before implementation.
7.5 Reducing the scope does not decrease the price. Any scope reduction must be mutually agreed upon in advance, noting that the price could even rise if additional efforts are necessitated by the changes.
7.6 Post-project requests will be charged at our prevailing hourly rate, unless covered by an active support and maintenance plan.
7.7 For clients using third-party hosting or support, additional licenses might be necessary for paid themes or plugins.
7.8 Upon using the deliverables in a live setting, full payment or the initial instalment of a staged payment becomes due immediately.
8. Custom Website Hosting and Maintenance:
8.1 If you purchase your website outright, you can choose to host with us post-launch or opt for a suitable third-party server after final acceptance.
8.2 Hosting fees apply for custom websites on our servers. This includes both work-in-progress sites and live holding pages during development.
8.3 Hosting and/or maintenance fees are due monthly or annually in advance. Payments continue on a rolling basis unless either party provides a 30-day written termination notice.
8.4 For monthly payments, you must set up and maintain a direct debit or standing order for the duration of the hosting contract.
8.5 Payments made through third-party platforms like PayPal or Stripe may incur an additional fee, up to 5% of the standard hosting rate.
8.6 When using third-party platforms like PayPal or Stripe, be aware that a separate contract is formed between you and the platform. We're not responsible for any issues or discrepancies that arise from this relationship.
8.7 While we strive to ensure uninterrupted hosting services and will promptly address issues, we won’t refund hosting fees for downtime.
8.8 We're not liable for unforeseen issues such as your domain misdirection, data loss, or hacking. It's crucial you maintain strong passwords and back up your content.
8.9 Where we are proving ongoing support and maintenance in addition to hosting services, we'll routinely back up your site and update core software, databases, and licensed plugins.
8.10 Upon cancelling your support and maintenance package, all responsibility for backing up your database, core software, and plugins, as well as ensuring their updates and licenses, will revert to you.
8.11 New sites must initially launch on our servers for testing. Post-launch, you can switch hosting providers without obligation.
8.12 Should you opt for another hosting provider, we may charge a setup or transfer fee, which will be communicated in advance. We’re not responsible for any issues arising from other hosting providers.
8.13 For the first month post-launch, we ensure the site's performance. If any issues arise during this period, given compliance with clause 4, we'll address them at no charge.
8.14 If we’re only hosting (no support and maintenance), and the site experiences issues during the warranty period due to lack of updates or backups on your end, repair costs apply.
8.15 Without our support and maintenance package post-warranty, any site repairs are chargeable.
9. Templated Website Rental:
9.1 Website rental contracts are for a minimum term of 24 months, during which time you will be required to set up and maintain a standing order or direct debit to make payment of the fees monthly in advance for the duration of the Contract as stated in the quotation.
9.2 Rental websites reside on our servers. Access is granted post-receipt of the inaugural monthly payment and continues monthly, contingent upon timely subsequent payments. Failure to maintain consistent payments will result in the following actions:
9.2.1 Immediate Access Suspension: Initial non-payment will lead to the immediate suspension of client access to the website’s backend and administrative functionalities.
9.2.2 Temporary Site Take-Down: If payments aren't regularised within 15 days of the due date, we reserve the right to temporarily take down the website, making it inaccessible to the public.
9.2.3 Permanent Removal: In scenarios where payments remain outstanding for 60 days or more, we reserve the right to permanently remove the website from our server. Any associated data might be irretrievable post this action.
9.2.4 Reactivation: Should you wish to reactivate your website after a temporary take-down, a reactivation fee may apply, in addition to settling all outstanding payments.
9.3 Our rented websites leverage templated designs paired with WordPress CMS capabilities, empowering you to log in, upload, and manage distinctive content on the website's frontend.
9.4 If template modifications or content addition is needed pre-launch and you seek our aid, an upfront setup fee may apply, determined at our discretion.
9.5 Post-launch assistance, if requested, incurs additional charges beyond the monthly rental. We will apprise you of associated costs and payment schedules prior to service provision.
9.6 Post the 24-month term, barring any written 30-day termination notice from either party, the rental seamlessly extends month-to-month, adhering to the initial contract's terms and conditions. Notably, price revisions may occur, decided solely by us.
9.7 On completion of the 24-month tenure, should you opt to terminate the rental contract, you're entitled to retrieve your personally uploaded content from the website and server. However, we may levy a fee if you need our assistance in content migration to another website or host. It's imperative to note that the website template remains our property, and no ownership claims will be entertained.
10. Cancellation and Termination:
10.1 If you cancel after work has begun, 1LG can charge for completed work plus compensation for loss of business.
10.2 Upon cancellation after designs are submitted, designs remain 1LG Digital’s property unless the full fee is paid.
10.3 Either party can terminate this contract if the other:
10.3.1 commits a material breach, with termination immediate if the breach is irreparable, or, if it's repairable, the breach isn't remedied within 14 days of written notice; or
10.3.2 enters bankruptcy, voluntary or compulsory liquidation (except for genuine corporate reconstruction/amalgamation) or has a receiver appointed over any assets.
10.4 If terminated due to your default, all payments under this contract become immediately due.
10.5 Obligations that, by their nature, should continue post-termination will do so on a pro-rata basis.
10.6 For website design services per clause 4, cancellation post-contract formation requires payment of the total quoted fee. Upon payment, we'll provide all completed work until the cancellation date.
10.7 For services under clause 9, after the minimum term, either party can terminate with 1 month's written notice. Post-termination, neither party retains any liability.
10.8 Ongoing hosting services can be terminated by either party with 1 month's written notice.
10.9 If 1LG abandons the project as per clause 2.4, the project might be restartable with a 10% fee, contingent on our availability.
10.10 Any and all obligations of the Parties which either expressly or by their nature continue beyond the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Contract shall survive termination under this clause 10.
11. Costs and Payments:
11.1 Initial Quotation: The costs provided in our initial quotation are estimates based on the information you provide us about your requirements. Any changes to these requirements may affect the final cost.
11.2 Additional Work: Work that falls outside the scope of the initial quotation will be considered additional. We will provide a separate estimate for this, and it will be charged accordingly.
11.3 Recurring Fees: Maintenance, hosting, and other ongoing services will have recurring fees. These will be outlined in our initial quotation or service agreement.
11.4 Payment Terms: All invoices are due within 7 days of the date of issue unless otherwise agreed upon. Late payments may incur a late fee.

11.10 Additional Costs: Be aware that certain third-party services or products, such as premium plugins, themes, or other software, may come with their own costs. These are not included in our quotation unless explicitly stated.
11..11 All payments shall be made in pounds sterling without any set-off, withholding or deduction except such amount (if any) of tax as you are required to deduct or withhold by law.
11.12 The time of payment shall be of the essence. If you fail to make any payment by the due date then, without prejudice to any right which we may have under to any statutory provision in force from time to time, we shall have the right to suspend the Services, shut down your website and reuse the domain name (where applicable) and charge you interest at a rate of 5% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Such interest shall be calculated on a daily basis and will accrue after as well as before any judgment.
11.13 Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions, if the Client has any outstanding invoices or owed payments for any services provided by 1LG Digital, all payments made by the Client will first be applied to the oldest outstanding invoice.
11.14 If the Client has an outstanding invoice for any service, including but not limited to design, development, marketing, or other ancillary services, and makes a payment for hosting services, said payment will be considered as payment towards the oldest outstanding invoice and not specifically for the hosting services.
11.15 Should the Client have unpaid invoices, including hosting services, beyond the payment due date, 1LG Digital reserves the right to suspend or terminate hosting services until full payment is received.
11.16 Unless explicitly agreed upon in writing by 1LG Digital, acceptance of a partial payment by 1LG Digital does not constitute agreement that the payment satisfies the debt in full. Any remaining balance will continue to be due and will be subject to any late fees or interest as stipulated in these terms.
12. Guarantee:
12.1 We offer a satisfaction guarantee specifically for our design Services. If, after iterative feedback and revisions, we are unable to arrive at a design that meets your approval, we will refund your money in full.

12.2.2 The Client engages actively in constructive communication, providing feedback aimed at refining and improving the design.
12.2.3 The Client provides feedback that is specific, actionable, and indicative of their preferences and needs. Generalized comments such as “it lacks a WOW factor” or "I’ll know when I see it" will not be considered actionable feedback, and refund requests based solely on such feedback will not be entertained.
12.3 Refunds will be processed within 14 days from the confirmation of refund eligibility. Any transaction fees or charges related to the refund will be borne by the Client.
12.4 We do not accept liability for damages arising from external factors, including, but not limited to, accidents, misuse, or the Client's failure to adhere to our maintenance and marketing instructions.

Should the Client decide to move, host, manage, or otherwise take their website elsewhere, it is the Client's responsibility to secure and pay for any necessary licenses or permissions for continued use, operation, updates, or maintenance of such third-party software or tools.
