1. These terms and conditions apply to the creation by Sabretooth Designs of any website and associated hosting and maintenance services or creation of 'other multimedia solutions' (as defined below) for a client - henceforth referred to as the "Client".

2. These terms and conditions are intended to form a binding contract between Sabretooth Designs and the Client, which should be interpreted only under English (UK) law. Nothing in the following clauses overrides any rights that the Client has in law, other than where it is agreed in law that this is allowable.

Website creation

3. Upon receipt of confirmation of an order for a Sabretooth Designs website, and an initial fee being paid with order, Sabretooth Designs undertake to do the following:
• If required, register (and pay for) a suitable website name such as yourbusiness.co.uk - which will be registered in the Client's name and for the Client's exclusive use with Nominet (the UK registration authority) or such other authority as, is relevant. Please note that this forms a contract between the Client and (for example) Nominet. Nominet's terms are given on www.nominet.org.uk
• Design and create in timely fashion a website with an appropriate navigation system. Websites will be designed such that they are suitable for display at screen resolutions 800 by 600 and 1024 by 768 (or equivalent) in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape, and running on PCs running Microsoft Windows 95 or later.
• Incorporate into the website such text and pictures as are supplied in suitable form by the Client. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that they have the necessary copyright to use any images which they supply for use on their website, and the Client indemnifies Sabretooth Designs against any action resulting from any failure on their part in this matter. NOTE. Where pictures are supplied by Sabretooth Designs for a website then the Client has non-exclusive use of these images which may not be used other than on the website.
• Provide, if required, a standard end-user enquiry form that will allow website users to contact the email address nominated by the Client to Sabretooth Designs.
• Provide an initial hosting service without charge so that the Client can view their draft site.

5. The Sabretooth Designs site link *Design by Sabretooth Designs” notice must remain at the bottom of the designed site.

Website acceptance, ownership and cancellation

6. When Sabretooth Designs believe that they have completed a satisfactory design for the Client's website, the Client will be shown the design and asked to approve it. If the Client approves the site, or does so after subsequent agreed changes, then the website will be deemed to be accepted. The site will only be put fully live on the internet under the Client's website name once Client acceptance has been received and the final agreed design payment has been made. The date when the website is put fully live under the Client's website name is the 'go-live' date.

7. Sabretooth Designs reserve the right to cancel this contract at any time without explanation or compensation, returning all materials supplied and returning any fees paid (less expenses directly incurred in registration of a website name for the Client).

8. Ownership of the website remains with Sabretooth Designs until Client acceptance has been received. Thereafter Sabretooth Designs grants the Client non-exclusive use of design features and material not originally supplied by the Client. This use is limited to the single Internet site created by Sabretooth Designs under this contract, and comprises solely the htm and asp pages created, or their equivalents, and Macromedia Flash .swf files if relevant.

Website maintenance

9. Client MAINTAINING OWN WEBSITE. In this case the Client will be provided with logon details and password, using whichever software package they choose. No additional charges are made.

Sabretooth Designs will, at their sole discretion, offer reasonable assistance in resolving issues that arise.

10. Sabretooth Designs MAINTAINING WEBSITE - MINOR EDITS. Sabretooth Designs will, at no charge, make minor edits on request to an existing website created and hosted by Sabretooth Designs. A minor edit is one of the following:
a change to or addition of a telephone/fax number, email address or postal address
a correction of a spelling mistake or other 'typo'.
a change to opening times or equivalent features.
a change to prices (limited to 20 products, thereafter chargeable)

11. Sabretooth Designs MAINTAINING WEBSITE - MAJOR EDITS. If the Client requests changes to an existing website which fall outside of the 'minor edits' defined above, Sabretooth Designs will be entitled to raise a pre-agreed charge on a per occasion basis (which covers all changes made at one time), to be paid in advance. Sabretooth Designs reserve the right to judge whether the scope of such a potential edit has been exceeded and actually constitutes a major site redesign.

Website hosting

12. Clients should note that Sabretooth Designs use several third party hosting services, and reserve the right to change the hosting service used at will so as to provide the most reliable and cost-effective service possible.

13. The annual hosting fee is designed to be suitable for typical small business use. It is not suitable for any site which makes heavy use of bandwidth through use of multimedia or otherwise, or which attracts a mass market audience. Sabretooth Designs therefore reserves the right to immediately withdraw from, or renegotiate hosting services with, any Client whose use of bandwidth or storage space is deemed by Sabretooth Designs as inappropriate to the basic Sabretooth Designs hosting service.

14. Sabretooth Designs does not allow its hosting facilities to be used for illegal, immoral or distasteful websites.

up to 5 POP email addresses;
email forwarding as required.

Limitations of liability

18. Where Clients use a third party product or service (e.g. Macromedia Dreamweaver for website editing or PayPal/Worldpay for e-commerce) then their relationship is exclusively with the supplier of that product. Though Sabretooth Designs may introduce these products and services, it is entirely up to the Client to inform themselves both as to benefits and risks and to correct usage.

19. The Client should note that the internet is operated by many companies not under Sabretooth Designs control, and that it is therefore not possible for Sabretooth Designs to guarantee quality of service beyond using reasonable endeavours to solve Client issues.

20. Sabretooth Designs can in no circumstances be liable for any consequential loss on the part of the Client howsoever caused.

21. The Sabretooth Designs liability to compensate any Client for any failure on its part shall be limited to the full fees paid to Sabretooth Designs by the Client during the previous 12 months in connection with the relevant Sabretooth Designs service provided.

22. Sabretooth Designs shall not be liable for any failure to register or renew any website name (domain name) as requested by the Client, or for any delay in so doing which results in the loss of the domain name. Clients are advised that registration is ultimately their responsibility and that they can check status of any domain name through www.nominet.org.uk or via www.joker.com as appropriate.

23. Sabretooth Designs shall not be liable for the loss or delay of any email directed to or from an email address supplied under the Sabretooth Designs service. Clients are advised that it is their responsibility to perform regular checks that their Sabretooth Designs email is fully operational.

24. Sabretooth Designs shall not be liable for breaks in service or availability of the Client's website, except insofar as it will extend the hosting period paid for proportionately to any such break in service.

25. Sabretooth Designs shall not be liable for the misuse of data of any kind associated with the website and obtained in a fraudulent or illicit manner by third parties.
