Terms & Conditions ​

So in short;

You (“You”) are hiring us La Vida Marketing (“We or Us”) to:

• Design and develop a web site

What do both parties agree to?

You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation. You’ll give us the assets and information we tell you we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

Us: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavour to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that we'll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

Design

We create designs that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create them using Wordpress or Odoo

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. We’ll share a development site with you and we’ll have regular contact by either phone, email or private message.

If—at any stage—you change your mind about what you want delivered or aren’t happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for the time we’ve spent working until that point and may terminate this contract.

Text content

We are not responsible for providing the text or images for your site. We will use placeholder text and royalty free images, which you can use if you like them. However, we also provide professional copywriting and editing services, so if you’d like us to create new content for you, we’ll provide a separate estimate.

Graphics and photographs

You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries.

Browser testing

We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Edge) and Mozilla Firefox. We won’t test in other older browsers unless we agreed separately.

Mobile browser testing

Testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test our designs in:

iOS: Safari and Google Chrome

Android: Google Chrome

Technical support

We can set up your site on your server of choice. Then the updates to and management of that server and your site will be up to you. If you also purchase our hosting and maintenance package, we will take care of the whole project - from conception, web design and build, to hosting, driving traffic and maintaining the site.

Search engine optimisation (SEO)

We cannot guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the pages that we develop include initial search engine optimisation.

Changes and revisions

We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind and we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem.

Legal stuff

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience. That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the amount of fees payable under this contract and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages.

Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Phew!

Intellectual property rights

First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you provide are either owned by yourselves, or that you’ve permission to use them. When you provide text, images or other artwork to us, you agree to protect us from any claim by a third party that we’re using their intellectual property.

We guarantee that all elements of the work we deliver to you are either owned by us or we’ve obtained permission to provide them to you. When we provide text, images or other artwork to you, we agree to protect you from any claim by a third party that you’re using their intellectual property. Provided you’ve paid for the work and that this contract hasn’t been terminated, we’ll assign all intellectual property rights to you as follows:

You’ll own the website we design for you plus the visual elements that we create for it. We’ll give you source files and finished files and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. You own all intellectual property rights of text, images, site specification and data you provided, unless someone else owns them.

We’ll own any intellectual property rights we’ve developed prior to, or developed separately from this project and not paid for by you. We’ll own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we’ll license its use to you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this project only, unless we agree otherwise.

Displaying our work

We love to show off our work, so we reserve the right to display all aspects of our creative work, including sketches, work-in-progress designs and the completed project on our website and social media.

Payment schedule

We’re sure you understand how important it is that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. As we’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, you agree to stick tight to the following simple payment schedule.

Stage 1: 50% deposit before commencing work

Stage 2: 50% balance upon completion of work

Your site will be setup on the server of your choice when we receive both cleared payments.

We issue invoices electronically. Our payment terms are 7 days from the date of invoice by cash, BACS or credit/debit card. The appropriate bank account details will be printed on our electronic invoice. All invoices are issued in EUR and you agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds.

Small print

Neither of us can transfer this contract to anyone else without the other’s permission.

We both agree that we’ll adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in relation to our activities under this contract and not cause the other to breach any relevant laws or regulations.

This contract stays in place and need not be renewed. If for some reason one part of this 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 Spanish courts.
