By placing an order with Chapter247, you confirm that you are in agreement with and bound by the terms and conditions below.

Definitions: 
The Client: The Company or Individual requesting the services of Chapter247.
Chapter247: Primary designer/developer & employee/s or affiliate/s.

General:
Chapter247 will carry out work only where an agreement is provided either by email, telephone, mail or fax. Chapter247 will carry out work only for clients who are 18 years of age or above as informed by the client. An ‘order’ is deemed to be a written or verbal contract between Chapter247 and the client; this includes telephone and email agreements.

Acceptance of work: 
Quotations are valid for 20 days from date raised.
When the Client places an order to purchase an Application (Web/Mobile) or Application (Web/Mobile) updates from the Chapter247, the order represents the Client’s offer to purchase services from the Chapter247 and this acceptance of work is a valid contract between Client and Chapter247 regardless of whether the Client receives the invoice.
Any other services on the order that have not been included in the initial quotation do not form part of the contract. The Client agrees to check that the details of the quotation are correct and should keep a copy for their records.
Chapter247 is liable to withdraw from the contract at any time prior to acceptance.
Additional work requested by the Client that is not specified in the agreed quotation is subject to an additional quotation by the Chapter247 on receipt of specification. If the work is needed as part of an existing project, then this may affect time scale and overall delivery time of the project.
If a functional specification and a set of testing criteria is included within the quotation, the Chapter247 is responsible for fulfilling the testing criteria as the sole criteria for completion of the contract.
The Client agrees to provide any needed information and content required by Chapter247 in good time to enable Chapter247 to complete a design or website work as part of an agreed project.

Project Terms
During the project’s briefing, it is client’s responsibility to provide us with clear guidelines along with the flow or specific details client may require. When such details are not provided, Chapter 247 will proceed with own understanding of the requirement and quote accordingly. At a later stage, if a discrepancy arises, it may lead to additional costs to accommodate the changes. Thus, it is essential that client clarifies every aspect of the website development and ensure that they have been quoted on the right requirements.
Once proposal has been finalized, any additions, changes or enhancements in the functionality or design of the project will affect the proposal and may incur additional cost and a revised delivery date. All additional work, over and above the estimates is charged separately. Under no circumstances will Chapter247 be liable for any delays caused by change in the project brief.

Any complexity related to specific deliverable, must be advised in advance and included in the proposal for costing purposes. We operate in good faith and rely on our clients to disclose the full picture of their expectations. Any discrepancy arising due to unclear requirements or expectations will not be borne by Chapter247.
Website content and all related materials need to be provided to us while development of the project. Any delays thereafter may delay the project and may incur additional charges if it goes beyond reasonable timeframe.
The client must recognize that at times there may be unforeseen circumstances that will delay the development process. Such scenarios are also seen particularly with reference to the integration of third party software. Best efforts will be put to complete the project as agreed in the proposal. As long as it is within a reasonable period, the client agrees not to penalize us for any genuine delay, when every effort to keep the project on the proposed schedule is taken.
Chapter247 takes no responsibility of any of the third party products, software or components used in the website development such as third party plugins, payment gateway, SSL certificates etc. We suggest you to take regular back-ups to avoid any disruptions or may use Chapter 247’s maintenance services.
Chapter247 takes no responsibility of any open source products such as WordPress, Open Source carts, Joomla etc. It is clients responsibility to update all components and third party software’s.
Chapter247 offer packages in co-ordination with third party providers. Changes to the third party provider’s rules and policies may ultimately effect the services we provide or the terms and conditions herein.
Domain registration charges are not included as a part of the proposal unless mentioned otherwise.
Hosting charges are not included in the quotations unless mentioned otherwise. Chapter247 can organize an appropriate hosting solution if required, a quote for which will be submitted separately and approved by the client.
Where clients decide to organize their own hosting, we should be consulted before finalizing the type of hosting and database, as it should meet the requirements of the technology used for the development. Please note that we’ll require full access with hosting support for testing and deploying the application. Chapter247 will not be liable for any delays or errors caused by direct or indirect actions of the hosting company.
Chapter247 cannot give access to their test servers and test websites to the clients or any third party.
No technology support is given to any projects, unless pre-defined while agreement for use of services. For any basic modification or changes, which may be required by the client and project will be quoted separately .
