The following terms and conditions apply to all Services in conjunction with any relevant Quotation provided to the Client by Blimey, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Acceptance of a Quotation, purchase and/or use of the Services shall be considered acceptance of the Terms.

BLIMEY subject to the acceptance of the Quotation and payment of the Fee by the Client, agrees to supply the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Fees for the Services are defined in the Quotation that the Client receives from BLIMEY via email. Quotations are valid for a period of 15 business days. Blimeys reserves the right to alter a quotation or decline to provide the relevant Services after expiry of the 15 days.

BLIMEY does not require the Client to pay any deposit. The Client agrees to pay BLIMEY the total fee upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of materials (‘go live’).

All Fees are exclusive of VAT.

Project (design) is confirmed by Client at the Formal Approval stage. No changes are accepted after that stage and before Completion of the Project. If the Client needs change or implementation of additional features after the Formal Approval BLIMEY will assess the requested changes and will provide additional charges quote in accordance with current rates.

Standard hourly fees are stated on the website rates. The rates may be adjusted or may vary from time to time.

Any additional work required by the Client on a previously completed project, will be considered as a separate project and will therefore incur charges of its own.

To simplify the process for the Client BLIMEY will use the information and content available on the existing Client's website where possible. If the Client wants to provide different or additional content they may do so in electronic format (Google Docs) for text and in .gif, .jpeg, .png or .tiff format for photographs and other graphics and only before the Formal Approval stage.

BLIMEY accepts no liability for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the client or used by the client in the future on their website. The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless BLIMEY at all times against all claims, demands, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities as a result of BLIMEY use of the Client Content including any third party claim arising out of or in connection with the Client Content.

BLIMEY reserves the right to refuse any offensive or illegal material, as well as material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material.

Whilst every endeavour will be made to ensure that the website and any scripts or programs are free of errors, BLIMEY cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred due to malfunction, the website or any part of it.

The website, graphics and any programming code remain the property of BLIMEY until all outstanding accounts are paid in full, unless provided by the Client previously.

Subject to compliance by the Client with this Agreement and payment of the Fees, BLIMEY hereby grants the Client a royalty-free, non-transferable, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use the materials and all Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) on the New Website in its business.

BLIMEY acknowledges that ownership in and to any Client Content shall remain vested in the Client or its licensors. The Client grants BLIMEY a non-exclusive licence to use the Client Content for the purposes of providing the Services.

Any scripts or software (unless specifically agreed) written by BLIMEY remain the copyright of BLIMEY and may only be commercially reproduced or resold with the permission of BLIMEY.

Note: This does not mean BLIMEY will own Client’s website, all content, design and the website as a whole will be in the Client’s control and ownership, the above clause simply means the Client is not allowed to reproduce BLIMEY’s work, resell or claim it’s their design work. The New Website can be sold by the Client as a going concern which would not infringe BLIMEY’s copyright.

BLIMEY will often use free to own core and/or add on modules, often we are able to acquire such modules free of charge and install and develop these to clients needs in order. BLIMEY however does not obtain any licence in which BLIMEY is able to transfer ownership off. All our websites are built using open source software and as such any competent developer or web designer would be able to continue with its development or maintenance.

BLIMEY makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. the latest three (3) publicly available versions of Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc. at time of website design completion). Client agrees that BLIMEY cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.

BLIMEY cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the Client. As such, BLIMEY reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software.

When the New Website is built, The Client will be provided with their own type of access to the CMS, either editor or manager access depending on the Client’s ability, which provides the Client with the ability to edit, update and run the website fully. Due to the possible security issues admin access will not be granted to any user other than BLIMEY staff while the website remains on our servers.

If the Client decides to move the website to another server, admin access can be granted once transferred and not prior. Once transferred and admin access granted all liability and/or guarantee will cease.

BLIMEY designs and tests websites to work on its own servers, and cannot guarantee correct functionality if the Client wishes to use a third-party server. In the event that the Client is using a third-party server, it is the responsibility of the Client and any third party host to ensure that the server is compatible with the website. BLIMEY will assist the Client to configure the server if this is required. However, this may be subject to additional charges.

If the Client’s website is to be installed on a third-party server, BLIMEY must be granted temporary read/write/exec access to the Client’s storage directories which must be accessible via SSH. Depending on the specific nature of the project, other resources might also need to be configured on the server.

BLIMEY cannot accept responsibility for any alterations caused by a third party occurring to the Client’s pages once installed. Such alterations include, but are not limited to additions, modifications or deletions.

A link to BLIMEY will appear in either small type or by a small graphic at the bottom of the Client’s website. If a graphic is used, it will be designed to fit in with the overall site design. If a client requests that the design credit be removed, a nominal fee of 10% of the total development charges will be applied. When total development charges are less than £3000, a fixed fee of £300 will be applied. Any unauthorised removal of design credit will place the Сlient in breach of our terms. The Client also agrees that the website developed for the Client may be presented in BLIMEY’s portfolio and other marketing material, unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing in advance.

Please read our full Privacy Policy for more information.

All BLIMEY services may be used for lawful purposes only. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BLIMEY against all damages, losses and expenses arising as a result of any and all actions or claims resulting from the Client’s use of BLIMEY’s service.

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all previous representations, promises, assurances, warranties, understandings and agreements between them, whether written or oral, relating to their subject matter.

The entire liability of BLIMEY to the Client in respect of any claim whatsoever or breach of this Agreement, whether or not arising out of negligence, shall be limited to the charges paid for the Services under this Agreement in respect of which the breach has arisen.

Termination of services by the Client must be requested in a written notice and will be effective on receipt of such notice. The Client will be invoiced for project work completed to the date of first notice of cancellation for payment in full within thirty (30) days.

BLIMEY makes no warranty as to the quality, stability or reliability of, nor does it accept any liability for, any third party software, plugins, content management systems (CMS)s, application programming interfaces (API)s, or other third party provided code (whether open source or otherwise) on the Services for any purpose whether provided by BLIMEY or otherwise. The Client acknowledges that BLIMEY is unable to control changes or other modifications that may be made to third party software by the relevant third party provider after the date upon which it is installed on the website and therefore this is provided at the Client’s own risk.

BLIMEY makes no warranty to resolve Errors caused by browser or device updates published after completion of the Services.

In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and the Agreement shall not be void for this reason alone. Such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid provision.

These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.
