Service Agreement
This agreement is between IP Mirror and the party as specified in the on-line application (CLIENT). IP Mirror reserves the right to modify this agreement at any time, effective upon posting of the modified Policy to this URL: http://www.ipmirror.com
This agreement covers the web design and maintenance services only.
The Web Design Project will be developed using the appropriate software depending on the CLIENT’s request.
IP Mirror reserves the right, and the CLIENT hereby agree, to assign subcontractors when necessary to insure that the terms of this agreement are met as well as on-time completion.
Designing a website to fully work in multiple browsers (and browser versions) can require considerable extra effort. It could also involve creating multiple versions of code/pages. IP Mirror warrants that the website we design for you will work in Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 and up; or Mozilla Firefox version 1.0 and up, unless CLIENT specifically request that the site be compatible with other browsers. While IP Mirror will make reasonable efforts to design a fully-functional website, IP Mirror’s warranty does not cover AOL, text-based browsers or requested special effects that we have advised you against.
Approximate turnaround time for each plan is specified at the website. It starts after the CLIENT submits all of the website content to Provider.
IP Mirror provides online tool for content submission and will accept every other reasonable communication like e-mail, Postal Service, fax etc. IP Mirror assigns a Project Manager to each design project. The Project Manager is available to CLIENT 8 hours per day, 5 days a week to facilitate the content submission and to answer questions. It is CLIENT’s responsibility to provide all the content in a timely manner. Design work will not start before all content is submitted.
IP Mirror and the CLIENT must work together to complete the Web Design Project in a timely manner. We agree to work expeditiously to complete the Web Design Project no later than thirty (30) days after CLIENT has submitted all necessary materials. If the CLIENT does not supply to IP Mirror with complete text and graphics content for this Web Design Project within sixty (60) days of the effective date of this agreement, the entire deposit amount of the agreement shall be retained by IP Mirror as liquidated damages and the contract shall become null and void, at IP Mirror’s option, unless the Web Design Project is cancelled in writing by the CLIENT prior to sixty (60) days of the effective date of the agreement.
IP Mirror will deliver (install) the final website design project to a valid web address specified by the CLIENT upon receipt of final payment or delivered via data media such as diskette or CD upon the receipt of full payment. The CLIENT understands that IP Mirror recommends using IP Mirror's hosting services in connection with this Web Design Project. The CLIENT may elect to use a third party hosting service. If the CLIENT uses a third party host, the CLIENT agrees to select a hosting service which allows IP Mirror full access to the CLIENT's account via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and that the host's software be compatible with IP Mirror’s web design software. The CLIENT will be solely responsible for any and all third party hosting service charges. IP Mirror’s fees for web design on a third party hosted site may be higher than a website design project hosted by IP Mirror. If CLIENT switches to a third party host during the construction of the website design project, or at any point after construction, IP Mirror reserves the right to adjust it's construction or maintenance fees for third party hosted sites. If the CLIENT chooses to take delivery of the website design project via data media such as diskette or CD, the CLIENT assumes all responsibility for the use and functionality of the Web Design Project.
CLIENT agrees to accept the design within 3 business days after the notification of delivery. Mechanical errors can be reasons for non acceptance (rejection). Examples: someone else’s website was delivered by mistake, missing pages, broken links, missing content etc. Design quality can not be a reason for rejection. Examples: don’t like the design, expected something else etc. can not be reasons for rejection. If CLIENT does not respond to inquiry for acceptance within 3 business days the work will be considered accepted. CLIENT certifies the acceptance by signing an Acceptance Form. CLIENT agrees to sign and fax back the signed Release Form within 3 business days from notification.
The CLIENT unconditionally guarantees that all materials and the copyright therein, including but not limited to text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to IP Mirror for inclusion in the Web Design Project are owned by the CLIENT, or that the CLIENT has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, indemnify and defend IP Mirror and its subcontractors from any liability (including attorney’s fees and court costs), including any claim or suit, threatened or actual, arising from the use of such elements furnished by the CLIENT.
Copyright to the web design source code shall remain the property of IP Mirror. Once final payment under this agreement and any additional charges incurred have been paid, CLIENT is granted the right to use the Web Design Project as a website and to modify the design, graphics, text and layout of the website without further authorization from IP Mirror. Rights to photos, graphics, source code, work-up files and computer programs that are not created by IP Mirror remain the property of their respective owners. CLIENT is the copyright owner of the content (text, pictures, software etc. provided by the CLIENT) unless CLIENT uses someone else’s copyrights with permission. Rights to IP Mirror are specifically not transferred and remain the property of IP Mirror. IP Mirror and its subcontractors retain the right to display graphics and other Web design elements as examples of their work in their respective portfolios. Web Design Projects may contain a copyright/legal statement, an email link to the project webmaster, or a text/logo linked to IP Mirror's Website. CLIENT is notified hereby that there are severe penalties provided by the Law for Copyright infringement. CLIENT will be fully responsible for copyright infringement of any and all of the content provided by CLIENT including but not limited to text, pictures, photos, software, data bases etc.
There are certain limits to each plan. Those include number of pages, number of concepts to choose, number of color schemes, etc. Those limitations are listed clearly at the website. Each term is explained at the website as well. CLIENT agrees to abide by those limitations. CLIENT agrees to pay additional cost if he chooses to exceed such limitations. IP Mirror will notify CLIENT about such extra charges and will proceed only with CLIENT’s approval.
CLIENT has the option to order any kind of web design, software design, software programming, logo design on a full custom basis. In this case customer pays per hour. The hourly rates are listed at the website. Some custom work carries minimal hours. CLIENT understands that design is not exact science and that results may vary. CLIENT trusts IP Mirror based on his own research, review of previous work etc. CLIENT will be responsible for the payment of the hourly fees regardless how satisfied or unsatisfied with the result he is. Estimates may not be accurate. CLIENT pays per actual hours not per estimate. CLIENT may set limits and the work will stop when the limit is reached.
IP Mirror will offer a number of standard “add on” features at flat rate. CLIENT agrees to pay such flat rate for the feature “as is”. If CLIENT requires additional features he agrees to pay for the extras on per hour basis.
CLIENT agrees the text and logo “Design by IP Mirror” to be placed at the bottom of each and every web page designed by Provider. The text and logo will be linked to IP Mirror’s website. IP Mirror reserves the right to enforce the logo display by technical means.
IP Mirror is not responsible for lost content or lost User Data. User Data typically includes data entered by CLIENT or site visitors into a database and stored on a Hosting Service. At CLIENT’s request and at CLIENT’s expense, IP Mirror can design a backup system capable of creating backup files which allow CLIENT Data to be stored at a remote location of CLIENT’s choosing, such as a burnable CD or DVD which can then be stored in a safety deposit box. Testing, storage and the reliability of backup data, restoration capabilities, and inclusion of all User Data is the sole responsibility of CLIENT. Backups of user data are intended for disaster recovery, not the restoration of individual files. IP Mirror will backup the website files that we create in a manner and frequency of our choosing. Modifications to website files may mean a backup will not exist for the exact time and date a CLIENT may request, therefore we make no guarantee as to the existence of backup website files.
IP Mirror is offering and CLIENT has the option to subscribe for website maintenance services. Maintenance plans vary depending on the needs of the CLIENT. The maintenance plans and the fees are listed at the website. The terms and conditions for each plan is listed at the website.
Provider will apply the best efforts to provide the best possible quality. As with any design work CLIENT’s satisfaction can not be guaranteed. IP Mirror will not take returns and refund fees based on quality issues.
Prices of goods and services, delivery and other charges displayed on IP Mirror’s website are current at the time of display. These prices are subject to variation without notice. We will always attempt to be as accurate as possible with our product descriptions and pricing. However, we are unable to warrant that product descriptions or other content of the website is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error free.
Orders will not be dispatched until payment in full has been received and IP Mirror is satisfied with the integrity of the order. IP Mirror reserve the right not to provide goods or services, or cancel orders (or part thereof) at our sole discretion at any time and we will not be held liable for loss or damage arising from the exercising of these rights. If you need to cancel an order, please contact us immediately. Once we have accepted payment for an order, cancellation of the order is within our sole discretion. Orders that cannot be cancelled will be subject to our terms and conditions relating to returns and exchanges.

The nature of the design work is such that it can not be “returned”, therefore cancellation of work in progress is not permitted. The “work in progress” starts when IP Mirror receives confirmation from the CLIENT via returned signed quotation. Should the CLIENT abandon the web design project, no refund will be made.
