Terms of Payment
Terms of payment are monthly in advance, unless credit approval has been granted by the Company. A standing order is required to be set up to start for the agreed monthly amount on the agreed support and website hosting start date. For services on a 12-month contract, these agreements are for payment to be received on the 1st of each month. Payments should continue monthly on the agreed date of the 1st of the month, for the duration of the contracted period. Should a payment be missed, and not be received within 7 days of the due date, the Company reserves the right to withdraw any services.
Billing
A minimum development time is billed is set at 15 minutes. For example, if work for any 1 task takes 8 minutes, it’s logged and billed as 15 minutes against your account. With billing thereafter in 15 minute increments on your development task log sheets. Any and all use of our time is billable. Including communication on email, phone or video call dialogue as project management or support examples. Any work outside of the scope of work or within the services agreement is billable at our current hourly rate. For ad-hoc development block invoices, a scope of work is generally not created. Your Google Sheet task sheet is used as a list of tasks worked through and where development time is logged in 15 min increments for billing purposes.
For projects spread over large periods, such as a website design build. Milestone payments are agreed where the project is broken into various milestone sections. Payment is agreed based on the number of milestones set out in specific terms for your web project. Invoices are spread at an equal interval throughout the estimated timescale for the project outlined in your proposal issued. And subsequently clarified in separate Terms document. Generally projects under 3 months in total length, will have an invoice raised every 2-3 weeks. Longer projects, invoices will be issued around once a month to spread the cost of payment of the project equally throughout the projected development time.
Support
We are here to help. We will offer technical support during the project to you as you require. You, as our client, can ask questions along the way. You may already have professional website hosting; you might even manage that hosting in-house; if that is the case, great. If you do not manage your own website, we can offer website hosting solutions for you. We would charge you a one-off fee for installing your site on any 3rd party server, plus any statistics software such as Google Analytics for example. These prices are provided on a quote by quote basis, based on our hourly rate. Thereafter, any updates to, and management of that server, plus any support issues of this 3rd party server will be up to you our client to handle with your selected 3rd party company. If you have chosen to use Primal Space for your website hosting, any technical support for your server is generally included in the price of our website hosting service. Any queries related to your website or the application is not included in our scope of website hosting services, and a separate website support plan is required on a minimum of a 12-month contract tern. Please refer to your specific hosting terms agreed with us for details of your plan and scope of work included. Any phone calls and/or emails with us where we give support to you are logged within the project, and billed at our prevailing hourly rate.
There is no time limit on development block hour usage, they never expire, and you can carry ad-hoc development hours from month to month that are pre-purchased in a block. Hours built into your monthly agreement for website support, cannot be rolled over month to month. Our minimum total of support hours for WordPress is 2 hours per month. And our minimum number of ours for Magento is 4 hours per month. We not offer website support or maintenance for clients websites that we do not host. Our support channel is email only, no support is offered by any other method unless otherwise agreed in a bespoke arrangement through a customised contract. Any calls with support for any services need to be scheduled, and Microsoft Teams is used for video calls with team members. There is no ad-hoc phone support service. We are open to using other video call platforms if preferred like Zoom or Google Meets. We do not use WhatsApp as a support mechanism or any other similar platform such as Facebook Messenger or Skype for example. Any online chat feature that may be on our website is not to be used for support purposes. Support queries must always be emailed to us.
Our SLA for website support is 48 hours (2 working days) for a first reply to any email queries. We have a separate section in these terms for SLA further below. You may read our full SLA for website support here – https://www.primalspace.co.uk/sla/ There is no set SLA for the resolution of any support task due to the the differing nature of each individual task. As well as the potential reliance on a 3rd party entity to resolve a bug in their system. For example WordPress or Magento. Where possible, our support team can create a patch or workaround while waiting for these entities to release new software versions. We do have target resolution times outlined in our SLA based on the critical nature we deem each support request to be in the current queue. Anything deemed critical will be treated with the highest of priority. Such tasks will be placed at the top of any development/support queues immediately. We will endeavour to respond to, and resolve all website support queries as quickly as we possibly can. Support tasks are worked on a priority basis dependent on the nature of the task. The priority of support tickets is at our discretion. Where the client has no retainer support hours, and hasn’t prepaid a support hour block, we reserve the right not to offer website support services. We do not offer website support or maintenance for websites we do not host.
Website Hosting
Our website hosting services are offered on a minimum contract of 12 months. Website hosting invoices will start on the 1st of the month after account signup, including sites on staging or dev servers during website development projects. Where any files or databases are hosted/stored on our servers, the billing commences on the 1st of that month unless agreed otherwise in customised terms. Payment for your first month of website hosting with us must be paid in advance before services commence. Where a dedicated server is ordered, the setup costs must be paid for in advance. The server must be setup at least 5 working days before the agreed start hosting date. Separate setup charges may apply for a custom dedicated server on top of any monthly agreed hosting prices in your hosting contract with us.
We only host websites in the applications we work with, such as WordPress or Magento for example. We do not host custom website applications or bespoke builds. Where your website was not created by our company, we may choose not to host it. An additional fee for a website audit is applicable to host a site our agency did not build. This is generally to audit the website code, including theme and plugins present to ensure best practice has been used. As well as ensuring the cost is up to date, for example with the latest version of PHP. Within the audit, we may make recommendations that relate to website security that needs addressed before we can actively host your website. We do not offer email hosting, and recommend using a resilient provider like Google Suite or Microsoft Office for email provision. We only host websites that have an SMTP relay solution installed inside the application (like WordPress or Magento for example). Our website hosting services to not cover any queries relating to email support. For any email issues for your organisation, you should direct them to your IT support company.
Websites can be taken offline if payment for website hosting is not made on time (within 7 days of invoice issue date). Where website hosting is part of multiple services, websites can be taken offline at our discretion if payments fall far behind for any invoice (over 30 days) for any service offered, not just website hosting. We do not offer website hosting where a website support package is not also in place with us. Our website hosting services only cover the hosting of your website. Anything other than website outage, would be considered to be out of scope of our website hosting agreement, and is billable at our hourly rate for website support or website development. And is deductible from support hours built into any website hosting monthly agreement.
A website hack, infection or malware is not covered by standard website hosting terms. To resolve any issues as a result of an attack is billable through support hours. Or billed separately where support hours are not present within your hosting agreement. Because of the urgent nature of such an issue, our team will resolve this as fast as possible without consultation or provision of signoff from the client, up to a total of 8 hours at most. Anything deemed to take longer than 8 hours prior to starting, will be emailed to you for quote. Once signed off by the client, the work can be started from there. Where an issue is deemed serious enough to potentially affect the entire server, or where we cannot get hold of the client to be given the go ahead, the individual domain may be quarantined and taken offline during a malware scan and clean-up operation. It will be temporarily removed from the server and moved to a new server on it’s own. Additional costs may apply for this where relevant.
We do not offer any warranties against a website hack or malware infections for websites we have built for our clients. Nor for any websites we host that our team did not design and build. Within our maintenance services, we will update your website theme, plugins and application core to the latest available stable version as soon as possible from when they are available. But this site maintenance does not include any time for resolution of issues arising from any update. Where an issue arises from an update, we will resolve the issue immediately using your support hours. Any individual task that will take longer than 4 hours to resolve a website bug, will be quoted to you separately to await your approval before we go ahead.
Project Management
At this time, no other tools other than Google Drive, and Google Sheets specifically are used for any projects for support purposes. Google Drive only is used by our agency for project management in Google Sheets, no other tools are used by us with our clients for project management or support purposes. Our team will notify you when updates have been applied to your development site, before we push to the live site. You should test all updates applied by us themselves after notification that these have been applied on the dev and/or live site. We take no liability for tasks applied incorrectly where you have not run their own testing on staging, dev or live site from instructions provided by us from updates/changes we have made. Where additional work is required, additional fees will apply.
A 16-hour development block minimum hours purchase is required for Magento to draw down from. It is your responsibility to monitor the Google Sheet for tasks and billing updates, the URL of this sheet is provided from the outset of project/client setup and is linked in their Project Documents folder in Google Drive. Clients’ Google account users will be tagged in Google Sheets at key points to issue email notifications where their input is required. Google Sheets must be used for adding new development tasks and reporting bugs, or anything related to support. Where further explanation is required on a particular task, our support email mailbox can be used to outline or create separate Google Docs and link to the relevant task row via the Google Comments feature.
Website Migration
We must be able to create a testing website area locally on one of our servers which we can develop on. For this, we will generally need access to your current website server to be able to copy the website area and database across to one of our testing servers. In certain cases, we may only need access to your CMS admin area, and the ability to add a plugin tool to perform the migration. When a website is moved away from us, your new agency or website host is responsible for the migration of your website. No time is included for exiting our company. Any input, advice or services from our side for a website migration away from our agency, is billable on top of your existing website hosting agreement. Any costs will be quoted to you in advance for approval before services commence.
For dedicated servers, a deposit invoice is required to be paid in advance which covers server setup and configuration time. For website hosting invoices, where migration to us as your new host is included in your website hosting contract price, the 1st month’s hosting invoice must be paid in advance before we can complete the migration of the website to our servers. Thereafter, a standing order must be set for the 1st of the month as the payment date for your monthly website hosting invoice. Migration of your website into our agency hosting services is offered free of charge for each domain that is on a 12-month contract with us. Where a hosting contract is terminated by the Client before the 12-month contract period, a fee for website migration is charged. Which is billed at the number of hours your migration took. This total number of hours is generally between as little as 2 hours for small WordPress sites, and as much as 12 hours for large e-commerce sites such as on the Magento platform.
Website Outage Monitoring
Given the critical nature of website downtime, we use several different services for domain uptime monitoring. Email notifications are set up internally for all websites we manage. The notification is triggered if any website has an outage lasting longer than 1 minute. I.e., if a website is not responsive for more than 60 seconds, an email and text notification is triggered to a member of our team, which will arrive on our devices within no more than a further minute depending on trigger timings of these external services. Any such incident would be treated as critical, and immediately moved to the top of the support queue to be resolved as soon as possible within our opening hours.
Website Backups
Rolling incremental backups are stored for all websites, on all servers, for our managed website hosting clients. These backups allow us to restore a website or server where required. Restoring of a backup is a billable service, and is not offered free of charge with our managed hosting services. Where website backups are included within a hosting package, where a client requests copies for the purpose of website hosting exit to a new hosting provider, the time and costs for arranging this are not included within the monthly hosting package cost, and are quoted on an individual basis. Where website copies are required for the purpose of website migration to another provider, these can be provided on a cost by cost basis with website files and database packaged up into a .zip file to be transferred. The zip file can be uploaded to a Google Drive folder for example and retained there for an agreed period such as 30 days for example, or as a time period agreed upon separately. Website copies will not be provided during an existing website hosting contract term. To reinstate a website after it has been taken offline due to non payment of our invoices for website hosting may incur costs to be paid prior to reinstating your site, estimated on a quote by quote basis depending on the site platform and website size, and must be paid for in advance before any work is carried out by our team.
SLA
Primal Space is committed to always providing you with an exceptional level of service. Our team will look to reply to you as fast as possible, and complete any maintenance or support tasks to the highest possible standard. We operate an email support system, which is available during our working hours. Unless agreed otherwise within your agreement or project scope, any support queries should be emailed to [email protected] in the first instance. Find out more about our SLA for website support in our full policy here – https://www.primalspace.co.uk/sla/
Licenses
As part of our website hosting and website support terms, all modules which are not free versions and require a paid fee to use, must have a license applied and be renewed annually where applicable for subscriptions. All licenses for your application (for example WordPress or Magento), must be ordered through our agency. We must hold access to all licenses for all websites we host, maintain and/or support. Licences for plugins or themes are generally not transferable to you or another agency. If hosting is moved to a new provider, the licences cannot be transferred. All licenses we purchase, are billed to you our client in UK pounds Stirling and are subject to UK VAT. Where licenses are not renewed or paid for on time, this voids any warranty of website maintenance services. Unless you notify us, all licenses will continue to automatically renew annually. To cancel a license, at least 30 days notice must be supplied. Where a module with a paid license is being removed, it must be replaced with another solution supplying the same functionality.
Access
Any of our assets cannot be shared with other digital agencies or any entity outside of the client business organisation without written permission, including our company terms or any documents stored in your Google Drive area. Where you hold platform admin access (Magento or WordPress for example), this cannot be provided to anybody external to the business without our written permission from us. Such as another agency or contractor who is not a direct employee of your business/organisation. We must have Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager access at all times for all sites where we offer website hosting services. The data can be used in case studies and for the purpose of performance benchmarking as an example.
We take no responsibility for actions taken by contractors or employees of a client in the development, staging or live area of your website(s). Nor for any data breaches caused by individuals employed by, or contracted out with our organisation. Nor can we guarantee the prioritising of support to remedy damages caused by your contractor that you may have chosen to use without our agreement. Generally, we will only work with other agencies or companies that sit within our list of approved strategic partners. A separate agreement outside our standard terms of business will be required to be created and agreed upon between both the Client and the Company.
We must have access to the DNS settings of your website at all times. From time to time, when our website hosting server hardware is updated, the IP address for example may change. At times, this can be at short notice, and we must hold permanent access to the DNS and nameserver settings for any website we host, to be able to change a DNS setting. This is to ensure your website experiences no outages while there is a delay in the DNS update.
CDN (Content Delivery Network)
We offer CDN services only to clients whom we already have a website hosting agreement in place for. We do not offer CDN as a stand alone service where we do not host your website. Our recommendation for content delivery network services is through Amazon Cloudflare and using the Pro Plan they offer. More information about Cloudflare and their plans available is outlined on their website here – https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/plans/ Other services such as web application firewall (WAF), and SSL certificates will be provided to our client’s websites through this platform. Setup, integration, and management of Cloudflare will be provided by our company ongoing, when you have this service added through your hosting agreement included in the monthly price agreed for website hosting, maintenance and support. Where you already have your own account with Cloudflare directly, we as your website host must be added as an admin to your Cloudflare account at all times.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Our SEO services are offered on a minimum of 12-month contracts. Where we are engaged for SEO services, we will always review and provide feedback on your provided content to ensure it is optimised for search engine ranking within a website design/development project or separate monthly SEO agreement. We will also ensure all possible on-site optimisation is undertaken as part of any site that we create during a website design or development project. If additional SEO services over and above what we would deem to be standard website SEO optimisation for site launch are required, this is to be priced separately and form a separate monthly agreement. Which may form part of your website hosting, maintenance and support agreement with us. While every care is taken to ensure we provide the highest standard of service and perform SEO best practices at the time, there is no guarantee that your organic listings will improve over time. Nor is there any guarantee of increased traffic to your website.
For clients we offer SEO services to, we must already be hosting their website and have access to Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Tag Manager. As part of our SEO work, we use external SEO software, that may be connected to your website and track data such as ranking positions or review competitor websites. SEO is generally priced on a quote-by-quote basis for specific keyword phrases to create your monthly fee agreed in your contract with us. The monthly fee in our agreement will be the same each month during your contract, with the exception of month 1, which generally carries a higher fee for that first month for additional time required for setup. Please see our SEO services page for more detailed information on our offering – https://www.primalspace.co.uk/services/seo/
Email Compliance and IT
Due to the number of variances in email clients and devices, we are unable to offer any assistance or support for the setup, maintenance or remedying of your emails for you, or anything IT related outside the scope of this agreement, and your website. Nor do we offer any telecoms support. We recommend using an IT company to assist you if required. We have recommendations we can put you in touch with within the UK. We have written an article about this concept and the importance of redundant and secure email setup here – https://www.primalspace.co.uk/email-and-it-support-from-primal-space/
We recommend that all clients use Microsoft Office365 or Google Workspace (Gmail Suite) for their organisation and website email mailboxes. Both options still offer you the ability to have your domain within the mailbox. For clients that have website hosting services with us, we are happy to change the DNS records on your domain settings for you free of charge to help make this transition where required. We can also assist with SMTP relay services in either the WordPress or Magento platforms, which is an additional cost on top of any website hosting agreement. We take no responsibility for liability as a result of any incorrect SMTP relay settings in your application.
Security Compliance and SSL Certificates
It is mandatory that you have an SSL certificate on your website if recording any customer data, such as registration for a login section and the processing of payment details. It will also ensure each page of your site displays as secure and trusted, will assist with SEO and GDPR requirements, and will make your site less vulnerable to being hacked as site content is encrypted behind the SSL certificate. You can read about the full benefits of SSL certification here – https://www.primalspace.co.uk/importance-ssl-certificates-websites/ Any website that we host, must and will have an SSL certificate in place, which will show a padlock in the browser tab next the URL. We will provide the set up of the SSL certificate providing you with an HTTPS prefix throughout each page of your site. Our recommendation for a cost-effective SSL solution is through Amazon Cloudflare – https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/plans/ The platform also offers additional security benefits and website speed improvements generally in their Pro Plan. Where Cloudflare is not possible to use, the SSL certificate for your website will be provided by Let’s Encrypt which is currently free of charge and we’ll apply it to your website as part of our website hosting setup process.
