The client will be solely responsible for all hosting service charges independent of Peer365 website design fees. The client assumes all responsibility for the use and functionality of the website design project.

After the project completion, Peer365 Web Design will provide all the website files within the clients hosting account.

Peer365 Web Design is not responsible for any hosting related issues (such as website down or loading slow, e-mail accounts, e-mail forms functions, server issues, etc.) as they are beyond our control.

The websites we create are tested and compatible with all major web browsers at the time of completion. Because of the nature of web design and programming work, websites may appear differently on different computers, screen resolutions, operating systems, mobile devices and browsing software. The client must be aware of these possible variations and Peer365 Web Design will not be held responsible for them.

After the project completion it is the client responsibility to change all the sensitive information such as hosting account log-in, FTP passwords, Admin panel log-ins, etc. disclosed to us.

Some of the websites we create (WordPress, eShops, Forums, etc.) are based on third-party open source software. This software is free for commercial and personal use and it is released under “GNU General Public License”.

A small sign stating “SEO and Website by Peer365” will be added at the bottom of every web page created by Peer365 Web Design. The client may request to remove the sign for an additional fee of 10% of the total price of the services provided to the client in relation to the web page.

All websites created by Peer365 Web Design are optimized for better search engine (Google / Yahoo / Bing) performance and ranking with terms like keywords, internal links, meta tags, page titles, etc., but Peer365 Web Design makes no warranties about the website acceptance by the search engines and the website position in the searches.
