THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE UNDER THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS PER THE WRITTEN PROPOSAL. ONCE THE PROPOSAL DOCUMENT (THE 'AGREEMENT') IS SIGNED AND THE DEPOSIT PAID, WE, THE DEVELOPER, UNDERTAKE TO DEVELOP THE WEBSITE FOR YOU, THE CLIENT.

Where one Party does not agree with the proposed amendment or variation, the Parties shall meet and discuss the proposed changes in good faith. Where any changes to the Project Specification would result in additional expenses to the Developer over and above the Fees as outlined in the proposal, the Developer shall be entitled to charge the Client for the additional expenses at its standard rates from time to time.

The Client is responsible for properly configuring the intended fileserver or disk space.
  3. Once the Developer has delivered the Website to the Client, the Client shall have a period of 14 working days (the “Acceptance Test Period”) to test the Website to ensure it conforms to the Project Specification (the “Acceptance Test”).
