Product Information

Clients of Delivered Social will receive an invoice at the start of each billing period (or will have agreed to the subscription services when ordering on the Delivered Social website). This bill will cover all upcoming services which are due to be completed on the client’s behalf, by Delivered Social, in the month ahead.

Our services include but are not limited to web design, web hosting, social media management and content creation.

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, even if you’ve advised us of them.

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, even if we’ve advised you of them.

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.

Our Payment Terms

We’re sure you understand how important it is for us as a small business that you pay us on time. We’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, so you agree to adhere to the following payment schedule.

We issue invoices via Stripe Subscription electronically each month. It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct payments are made. You must also correct any problems with the transfer of funds and communicate any anticipated issues with payments.

Delivered Social will not commence work until payment is received. If we incur legal fees, costs, and disbursements to collect our invoices, in addition to interest on the unpaid balance, you agree to reimburse us for these expenses.

If payment is not received, services will be suspended on the 7th day of late payments and a £25 admin fee will be added to your account. Once payment has been received, services will resume within 48 hours.

We reserve the right to charge statutory interest which will be calculated at 8% plus the Bank of England base rate for business-to-business transactions.

Any changes to our payment structure will be given to you in writing with a minimum of 2 months’ notice.

You agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds. You also agree that we can collect payments when due.

If you choose not to pay via our online portal then your bills will include a £3 ‘paper’ fee for the additional admin.

— The below Terms are for contracts prior to the 1/1/2024 —

We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay us on time. As we’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, you agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule.

We issue invoices via Stripe Subscription electronically each month, it is your responsibility to ensure that the correct payments are made.

Any problems with the transfer of funds must be corrected by you, and anticipation of any issues with payments must be communicated.

Delivered Social will not commence work until payment is received. For every day after the invoice date that a payment is not received, a 1% charge will be added. In the event that we incur legal fees, costs and disbursements in an effort to collect our invoices, in addition to interest on the unpaid balance, you agree to reimburse us for these expenses.

Services will be suspended on the 7th day of late payments. Once payment has been made services will resume within 48 hours. The additional 1% fee will be added as a separate invoice for payment once the regular bill has been paid. For every ‘chase’ email we send after 7 days you will be charged a £20 admin fee up to a maximum of 3 charges. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to retake the payment are made, this contract may be terminated, all work deleted, and all remaining fees will be due immediately.

Any changes to our payment structure will be given to you in writing with a minimum of 2 months’ notice.

You agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds.

If you choose not to pay via our online portal then your bills will include a £3 ‘paper’ fee for the additional admin.

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 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, and provide feedback and approval, or any edit requests within 3 working days of delivery of the initial design.

During a website build, you get two rounds of amends, giving you plenty of opportunities for feedback (after approving the homepage design). After these two rounds of amends, edit requests to the website will be counted against your monthly quota of edit requests or chargeable at £69 plus VAT per hour.

Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together outside of this contract.

You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

If a website build is delayed due to us waiting on items/content/clarification from you, then the monthly payment will still be due as per this contract, regardless of whether the website is live or not.

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.

Please note that our quotes are only valid for 14 days.

Further information about websites by Delivered Social

Onboarding Meetings / Social Clinics

Every single website we build starts with a client onboarding meeting (sometimes covered in Social Clinics) where we can discuss likes/dislikes, competitors, marketing plans and keywords.

Website content & design

We create look-and-feel designs and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback.

If, at any stage, you change your mind about what you want to be delivered and are not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for the time we’ve spent working, plus the fees set out in this contract and terminate this agreement.

It is your responsibility to provide 100% of the content for your website unless we agree otherwise in writing.

We are not responsible for creating text or images for your website; however, we do provide copywriting and editing services.

We do not accept any responsibility or liability for any errors (or delays this may cause) in our content.

You should supply any photographs in a high-resolution digital format. If you choose stock photographs, we suggest you allow us to choose from our stock libraries.

We don’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking (we do give it a damned good go, however), but the web pages that we develop are accessible to search engines. We do have an SEO service, which we would be happy to discuss with you. All of our websites will have the home page, about page, and contact page, which are SEO’d according to standard practices.

Websites going live

We’ll work with all parties involved to ensure the smooth transfer of your website, service and data. Our aim is always to have zero downtime from the old site closing and the new site going live – however, this is not always possible. Please note that DNS changes can take up to 48 hours and you might experience disruption to your services during this time.

If we’re placing your website live on external hosting to Delivered Social, we charge an admin fee of £69 plus VAT.

Testing your website prior to launch

Leading up to launch we’ll test your website on multiple browsers marking accessibility and performance. The website will also be placed on a holding service for you to view and carry out user acceptance testing (UAT) on our dedicated project1031 platform. We’ll not put a site live without the clients approval.

Browser testing

We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers, including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Edge), and Mozilla Firefox.

Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers with different capabilities or on devices with screens of different sizes. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.

Browser testing – mobile

Testing popular small-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 work in:

• iOS 9+: Safari
• Android 6.0+: Google Chrome, Firefox

The ‘Delivered Social’ Mark

Any website created by Delivered Social will feature the following text ‘Website created by Delivered Social’ with a link to DeliveredSocial.com in the footer. This can only be removed with the permission of Delivered Social in writing or email and must remain on the site no matter its hosted location or if our contract ends. Failure to comply with this will result in an immediately due £995 penalty fee.

Domain name purchase

We purchase the domain name you request if you do not already own it, and it remains our property until a time that you choose to purchase it from us. Provided the contract has been fulfilled, payments are up-to-date and that this contract hasn’t been terminated; domain names can be purchased from us, please get in touch to enquire for the pricing, as different domain names differ in pricing.
