Privacy Policy

ST1.7 MWM cannot be held responsible for any lost sales or enquiries, perceived brand damage, website downtime etc. howsoever caused.

ST1.8 Server Overload or DDoS. MWM cannot be held responsible for any server overload or shutdown as a direct result of server overload or a direct attack. If such an attack happens as a direct result of unusual client activity, your SLA does not cover this eventuality.

ST1.8.1 Back Links, Indexing, Domain Referral. It is possible for websites to overwhelmed with large levels of back links, indexing by third party crawl bots (Google and social platforms and others). Websites may slow or even crash in these scenarios. Unless MWM were made aware, in writing, of an aggressive or outsourced Back-Link plan or mass indexing, you will be charged £65.00ph restoration whether you have an SLA or otherwise.

ST1.8.2 Server/Website overload/crash/shutdown. It is the responsibility of each client to make MWM aware of any unusual or significantly higher than usual website traffic surges/peaks. Failure to do so may result on your website running slow, or server being overloaded and potentially shutting down.

ST1.8.3 Server specification. Unless a server specification is detailed to MWM in advance of a new website launch or transfer, we will make our best guess judgement as to the server size, specification such as bandwidth. If we get this wrong, we will upgrade your server specification as soon as possible, Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays. Any increase in specification and subsequent SLA costs will be advised in advance of the upgrade.

ST1.9 MWM reserve the permanent right to use your website for the purpose of marketing on their website, brochures, banners, backlinks and social media posts and award or competition entries.

ST FIG 1 Clients or wishing to terminate their website orders for any reason will be liable for payments as follows: –

FIG1 Website or other Production cancellations fees calculator: –

• Signed Order = No deposit refund unless cancelled by acknowledged email within 24 hours of the signed order.
• Week 1 is the week your project has been scheduled to commence.
• Week 1 = 15% payment, of total original quote. (1 week is 7 days, Monday thru Sunday after deposit and each 7 days thereafter constitutes another week)
• Week 2 = 40% of total remaining balance net of the deposit if paid of the quote/invoice value.
• Week 3 = 60% of total remaining balance net of the deposit if paid of the quote/invoice value.
• Week 4 = 80% of total remaining balance net of the deposit if paid of the quote/invoice value.
• Week 5 = 100% of total remaining balance net of the deposit if paid of the quote/invoice value.

The above is a pro-rata illustration meaning a 5 day project, rather than 5 weeks, would have the same calculation apply, but each day, rather than week, would represent a component payment part. The same comment applies to 10 week projects where the calculation would be extended on a pro-rata basis. Your production time/schedule will have been advised to you at or before the time of your order.

Creative Work

ST2.0 Rejected creative work, each client has the option to 100% reject our (your) creative website /brochure/video/3D presentation production, on such occasions you will be asked to provide a website creative in either graphical format, or by highlighting another website that you wish us to closely emulate, if possible and within the original quotation specification. If our new/amended work is rejected you will be asked to detail, via email, your dissatisfaction and where you consider the differences to be your creative requirement/direction/graphical image/website to emulate, versus that of what we have presented. If we consider your interpretation to be unreasonable we reserve the right to offer one final change to your creative direction (this is not a new creative), if this is then rejected, all further amends will be charged at £65.00 per hour, and quoted in advance of the work taking place. If ultimately you reject all our work, then after 3 attempts we reserve the right to consider this as TERMINATION of our agreement and the cancellation payment terms (FIG 1) will apply.

Whilst minor amends are accommodated, there is ‘reasonable changes time’ caveat; (image swaps, content updates are minor changes except where content has changed the page layout determining a page re-style; page or partial page re-styles are MAJOR creative changes). In this instance clients will be advised that their changes thereafter will be chargeable at £65.00PH.

In this instance, and to protect other client productions, your project may be removed from the production studio or cancelled. In this instance, you will have been advised via email etc, of production problems etc. In this instance, FIG 1 payment calculator will apply.
