FRUIT ENGINE will provide Client with Services solely in accordance with the information provided to us online, in written form, via email, and through telephone interviews.
If Client is not able to provide or confirm with FRUIT ENGINE the information they provided that shall be used for the development of client's website, FRUIT ENGINE will passively create a generic website, referred to as industry-based template with content (IBTC), throughout the rest of the agreement. Client may still alter this template upon contacting FRUIT ENGINE and confirming or providing information needed for the website.
Client agrees to submit all content within ten (10) business days after initial payment for FRUIT ENGINE Website Design Services. Any content submitted after 10 business days will not be included in the Website Design Service. Client agrees that any additional content added to the scope of the project will be billed in advance at a rate of $50 per hour. FRUIT ENGINE and Client shall agree to a schedule of deadlines before commencing work on a project. Meeting project deadlines will be dependent on the provision of content/information for the project by the Client. Failure by Client to provide content/information promptly will result in the project deadline being re-scheduled.

work together to complete the website in a timely
manner. Client is solely responsible for the contents

the Internet.
Client further agrees not to use FRUIT ENGINE to
send or post any messages or materials that are
unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening,
harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise constitute
a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability
or otherwise objectionable material of any kind
or nature or that encourages conduct that could
constitute a criminal offense, infringes on any
third party’s intellectual property or publicity/privacy
rights, give rise to civil liability or otherwise
violate any applicable local, state, national or
international laws or regulations. Should these
unlawful acts happen, Client would solely be liable
for damages.
FRUIT ENGINE reserves the right to terminate the
account if FRUIT ENGINE becomes aware and determines,
in its sole discretion, that Client is violating
any of the foregoing guidelines. As a condition
of use of FRUIT ENGINE’s service Client warrants
to FRUIT ENGINE that FRUIT ENGINE's Services will
not be used for any unlawful purpose.
Client is responsible for keeping a copy of the
most current Website files as backup on a remote
system. FRUIT ENGINE is not responsible for any
lost files, information, or data. If FRUIT ENGINE's
hosting services has been terminated, or a copy
of the website files requested, FRUIT ENGINE will
e-mail one copy of the HTML files, graphics, and
all other associated aspects of the Website to Client
in an email attachment at no charge for the first
request. FRUIT ENGINE may provide the copy of the
files to Client via compact disc (CD), at the cost
of fifty dollars ($50.00) plus shipping and handling,
if so requested.
3.2 Change Requests
Once the initial design phase is completed Client
agrees to provide, via email to FRUIT ENGINE, concise
feedback and desired changes. If feedback is not
received promptly, FRUIT ENGINE is not held liable
for any additional costs required to extend the
project timeline.
3.3 Billable and Non-Billable Requests
FRUIT ENGINE understands that Client may request
significant design changes to pages that have already
been built according to earlier specifications.
To that end, the scope of acceptable revision requests
does not include provisions for “significant page
modifications” or creation of additional pages in
excess of the agreed maximum pages without additional
charges.
If significant page modification is requested after
a page has been built to Client’s specification
(after the Production Phase), it will be considered
a billable request.
3.3.1 A billable request is one that changes the
basic structure of the Website such as an additional
navigation button or basic design layout change
of the Website.
3.3.2 A non-billable change is one that does not
affect the layout or navigation of the Website such
as swapping out a photo or change text (provided
that the modified text still fits within the space
originally provided).
Client is encouraged to inquire as to whether a
change is billable or non-billable, should there
be any doubt. As long as requested before the Acceptance
Phase, non-billable changes are free-of-charge.
Billable changes on the other hand are not, and
will be assessed first and billed separately by
the hour.
3.4 Domain Name
Any domain name registered on Client’s behalf will
be made in FRUIT ENGINE's name for both the billing
and administrative contacts. The technical contact
is generally required to be the hosting ISP or Domain
Registrar. For existing domain name, Client is responsible
for renewing their domain name.
