Website Hosting and Technical Support

We provide a high quality web hosting service. Unless you have specified otherwise, we will launch your new website on this service. We ensure this service is fast, reliable, secure and that your website is backed up regularly. We back up the database daily and backup your website files weekly. We can arrange other schedules upon written request.  Any issues relating directly to web hosting (such as down time, server issues, updating plugins or WordPress core) are our responsibility and we will take care of this for you.

We are not responsible for fixing user errors, providing ongoing content updates, technical support or adding functionality unless you purchase one of our website care or growth packages. We provide post launch and email setup assistance for the first 30 days after your website is launched. Assistance after this time is not covered unless you have one of our website care packages. Any time we spend on tasks that are outside the hosting agreement will be charged at our standard support rate.

We reserve the right to move your website to new servers for performance enhancements or security reasons at any time. We do not permit illegal or ‘adult only’ content on our servers and we reserve the right to terminate your hosting agreement immediately if we discover you are engaged in any of these activities.

All website hosting, email and domain name services are invoiced/paid for in advance and are non refundable. We reserve the right to change the hosting pricing with a minimum of 14 days notice.

By hosting your website with us you are agreeing to comply with all our hosting terms and conditions and those of our hosting partners:
Kinsta Managed WordPress Hosting
Flywheel Managed WordPress Hosting
Vultr: High Performance SSD Cloud
RunCloud server management panel
Server Pilot – server management panel

As part of the hosting service, we provide access to a number of tools and services that require yearly paid licence renewals. We licence these products exclusively for use on our hosting. We use these licensed products to enhance your website while your website is hosted with us. If either party, you (“the Client”) or Avoca Web Design, terminates your hosting agreement, Avoca Web Design is not obliged to continue licensing any of these products for you. If you choose to continue to use these tools and services you will need to purchase valid licences for any and all products and services you require.

If either party, you, the client, or Avoca Web Design, choose to terminate the hosting agreement for any reason, we will provide a site backup to you. You will be responsible for restoring/migrating the website and any other services provided from the backup provided to your new hosting service provider. We may choose to help you but are not obligated to do so. Any materials, work or services required to facilitate this process, other than the backup, will be charged at our normal service rates. 

We reserve the right to terminate the hosting agreement for any reason and will provide you a minimum of 14 days notice of that change. We will always honour the remaining hosting period current paid in advance. Termination for hosting accounts that are overdue by 45 days or more, will have immediate effect.

Copyrights

CodingExpo Technology does not assume any responsibility or liability for any of the content of the websites it manages, maintains and/or hosts.

The client guarantees to us that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork that you (or third parties at your request) provides us for inclusion on any websites we build or host, are either owned by your good selves, or that you have permission to use them. You will comply with any applicable copyright laws in India (or the country you are based in).

We retain all intellectual property rights for the project until the final payment has been received. When we receive your final payment, copyright is automatically assigned as follows:

You own the graphics and other visual and design elements that we create for you for any project. We’ll give you a copy of all files on request and you should store them really safely as we are not required to keep them or provide any native source files we used to make them. You also own text content, photographs and other data you provided, unless someone else owns them. CodingExpo Technology assigns a non exclusive licence to the use of any copyrighted markup, CSS or other code used in your project. You may not sell or redistribute copyrighted code to third parties.

We love to show off our work and share what we have learned with other people, so we reserve the right to display and link to any completed project as part of our portfolio and to write about the projects we have completed on websites, in magazine articles and in books about web design.

Design

If we are designing visual material for a project (website layout design or any graphic design) then the contract includes one main design plus the opportunity for you to make minor revisions. (Please note that any major design changes will be charged at our normal hourly rate.) If you’re not happy with the designs at this stage, you will pay us in full for all of the work that we have produced until that point and you may either cancel your contract or continue to commission us to make further design revisions at our standard design rates.

HTML and CSS Layout Templates (code stuff)

If a project includes HTML markup and CSS templates, we’ll develop these using valid HTML and CSS code. The landscape of web browsers and devices changes regularly and our approach is to look forward, not back. With that in mind we will test all our markup and CSS in current versions of all major desktop browsers to ensure that we make the most from them. Users of older or less capable browsers or devices will experience a design that is appropriate to the capabilities of their software.

We do not cater for people using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (or earlier versions) and cannot predict the behaviour of that browser.
We will also test that templates perform well on Apple’s iPad. We will not test old or abandoned browsers, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 9 or earlier, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Opera unless otherwise specified. If you need us to consider these older browsers, we will charge you at our standard old browser rate for any necessary additional design work, development and testing.

Changes and Revisions (design and/or content)

We don’t want to limit either your options or your opportunities to change your mind.

The estimate or quoted prices in any CodingExpo Technology contract are based on the amount of work we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything that you have told us you want to achieve.

If you do want to change your mind, significantly change the design, add extra pages or templates or even add new functionality, that won’t be a problem. However, you will be charged accordingly and these additional costs will need to be agreed to before the extra work commences. This additional work will affect deadlines and they will be moved accordingly. We’ll be up front about all of this if and when it happens to make sure we’re all on the same page before proceeding. We may also ask you to put requests in writing so we can keep track of changes.

If the nature or functions of the project change significantly throughout the process, we reserve the right to deem the current project cancelled. At this point you will pay us in full for all the work we have done and may commission us to complete the new project based on the new requirements. This will require a new quote and contract.

Third Party or Client Page Modification

With a WordPress based website, the client will independently edit or update his or her web pages after completion of the site, unless otherwise agreed upon in this agreement by client and Avoca Design

If anyone other than Avoca Design or its subcontractors attempts to update the web site and damages the design or impairs the ability for the web pages to display or function properly, time to repair the web pages will be assessed at our current hourly rate. There is a one-hour minimum.

Contract or service termination

If for some reason one part of an CodingExpo Technology contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place. Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of India.

Either party may terminate an CodingExpo Technology contract under the following circumstances –

  • immediately if the other party becomes insolvent, or appoints a receiver or manager of their assets;
  • immediately if ownership or effective control of the other party is transferred, where such transfer adversely affects the other party’s ability to perform its obligations under this agreement;
  • immediately if either party commits a material breach of the obligations under this agreement and fails to remedy that breach within 21 working days of being notified of that breach.
  • immediately if we find the client in breach of any copyright laws (for content, images or design plagiarism) or other legal violations mentioned above
  • In any of the other specific circumstances as noted in terms & conditions.

In the event of early contract termination by the client, all work done by CodingExpo Technology Pvt. Ltd. up to the point of termination is immediately payable. If no milestone amount is applicable, or it is a milestone or project with an estimated price, work billable will be calculated at our standard rate. As per our payment terms above, deposits, hosting payments or any payments for any services in advance are non refundable.

Refusal of Service

Avoca Design reserves the right to refuse service to any individual, website, or blogs that contain offensive, obscene, hateful, malicious content or any other reason.

Force Majure

Stuff happens. We agree to suspend our services under any agreements if we are unable to do so as a result of an act of God or similar circumstances such as a force majeure event. The suspension of service will remain in place until services can be resumed.
