Description of Services

"You" will hereafter be known referred to as the user/client. The Services include various online web site design and hosting packages operated and hosted by either StoreFront, or a StoreFront Affiliate, including but not limited to StoreFront's Yola Silver Account, Clients Personal Yola Silver Account, or StoreFront's Site5 Shared Web Hosting.
StoreFront sets out to create the client a professional website which is tailored to the client's requirements. 

Payment

Quotes provided by StoreFront are valid for a maximum of 14 days. On a client requesting a quote for a site and agree to the quote, the client will receive an invoice of 50% of the quoted amount, this is a non-refundable deposit on the development of a client's site and will be deducted from the total cost of the quote. Development on the client's site will only commence when StoreFront receives this initial deposit. When StoreFront deems that a clients site is completed an invoice of the remaining quoted amount. This must be paid within 14 days of the final invoice being sent to the client. Failure to do so will result in the clients site being unpublished from the www and will be deleted from StoreFront's database 60 days if final payment is not received within those 60 days.

Concerning StoreFront's Private Pro Package, this package MUST be ordered through the Private Pro Package link on our landing page under the slider heading "add-ons", this will direct the client to Yola.com where they can sign up for their own Yola Silver Package. It is advised that the client first informs StoreFront that they require the package before signing up for it through Yola. When signing up for your StoreFront Private Pro Package the URL that your browser is on MUST be: http://www.yola.com/lp/silver?cid=CJ20040 failure to sign up through this domain will result in a client ONLY receiving a Yola Silver Account and NO StoreFront Silver Package!

All StoreFront's Packages are provided on an annual cost. The client will be invoiced each year for the full amount of their initial quote, thus a client will pay the same amount for renewing their package as they did when purchasing it even if the purchase price has increased since the date they did.

User Sites

Packages including the Advanced and Pro Design and Hosting Packages do NOT provide clients direct access to their sites, all changes, updates or additions must be sent through StoreFront by correspondence. Packages including the Private Pro and Expert Design and Hosting Packages DO provide the client with direct access to their sites, all changes, updates or additions can be made by the client as well as the designer. It is however advised that changes made by the client are first approved by StoreFront unless such updates are designed specifically for the client, such as blog posts. All site design and hosting packages are limited as is indicated on that specific package. Please note that in server cases where StoreFront feels that a client has intentionally damaged the workings of site, will result in a cost for fixing the errors as well as a warning, consecutive incidents may result in a clients account being terminated as well as their site being shutdown however, all efforts will be made to insure the aforementioned client can retain their domain name.

Updating Sites

Apposed to our Expert and Private Pro Package, which allow the client to access their site directly to make alterations and updates. All other packages require the user to submit alterations and updates via correspondence to StoreFront. 

Migration of Sites or Packages


Once a client has a developed site on our; Advanced Package, they can upgrade this package, at any time, to our Pro Package, at an additional cost.

However, developed sites on either our; Advanced Package or Pro Package, cannot migrate to our; Private Pro Package or Expert Package. 

This rule can however be queried and if StoreFront decides that the migration is technically possible then the migration can be processed at an additional cost. This is currently due to a technical limitation with Yola. It is heavily advised that if a client may require direct access to their site to make updates or alterations personally that they rather choose to go with our Private Pro Package.

Neither may a developed site on our; Private Pro Package migrate to our; Expert Package or visa versa. This is due to Private Pro Package sites using Yola, whereas Expert Package sites use Wordpress.

All sites developed with Yola are PHP based and can be downloaded, and hosted by ones self.
