3. Website Access
Upfront Payment: When a client pays upfront for a website development project, the client will have full access to the website according to the agreed terms. If CDT provides content as part of the project, the client agrees to pay for the content as specified in the project agreement.
Monthly Subscription: If the client chooses a monthly subscription plan and provides their own content, CDT will add the content to the website. If CDT provides the content as part of the subscription, the website is considered a rental, and all content provided by CDT will remain the property of CDT. The client has no right to move or transfer this content to any third-party service provider without express written permission from CDT.
4. Social Media Management and Digital Marketing Content
Account Setup and Management: CDT may offer social media account setup and management services. If such services are included, the client acknowledges that CDT is responsible for setting up and managing social media accounts as agreed. The client may not request access or control of these accounts without CDT’s approval.
Content Creation and Ads: CDT may provide content creation and online advertising services. Content created by CDT, including ad content, remains the property of CDT unless explicitly transferred to the client. The client may not use, reproduce, or distribute this content without the express written permission of CDT.
Community Management: CDT may offer community management services, including responding to comments and client inquiries on social media. Any such services are subject to additional charges and require the client’s prior approval.
5. Website Subscription Cancellation
If the client decides to cancel their monthly subscription and intends to move to a third-party service provider, the client must provide CDT with a written notice of the cancellation at least 30 days before the desired cancellation date.
The client may only transfer data from the website to a third-party service provider after the completion of a minimum of 1 year of the subscription term or upon payment of a mutually agreed-upon fee for the content provided by CDT.
Minimum Commitment: All monthly subscriptions require a minimum commitment of one year.
Early Cancellation Fee: If a client decides to cancel their subscription before completing the one-year commitment, a cancellation fee of $1000 + tax will be charged.
Agreement Confirmation: By placing an order, clients acknowledge that they have reviewed and agreed to the terms and conditions. Orders cannot be placed without selecting the agreement box.
Legal Enforcement: CDT reserves the right to collect any outstanding dues through legal channels. Any legal expenses incurred will be added to the client’s invoice, and the client will be responsible for all legal fees.
6. Intellectual Property
All rights to the content provided by CDT, including but not limited to text, images, graphics, and videos, remain the exclusive property of CDT. The client may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or transfer this content without the express written permission of CDT.
7. Limitations of Liability
CDT shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from the use or inability to use the Website or the content, even if CDT has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
For branding, content writing, logo design, graphics, photos, images, social media content, ad content, or any other materials proposed by CDT as part of the project, CDT assumes that all names, colors, certifications, offers, and any additional materials provided by the client are accurate and correct. The CDT also assumes that the client either owns or has a permission to legally use ‘any’ of the provided materials, as CDT does not offer legal services. As such, It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that any proposals or materials delivered by CDT are reviewed and any necessary changes are communicated to us in writing within 30 days from the date of the proposal handover or the website launch, whichever comes first. If no feedback is received within this period, CDT will consider the materials approved by the client, including any legal or third-party verification. In this context, the client will be solely responsible for any potential direct or indirect, secondary or primary IP related infringement.
Any other legal conflicts or issues related to the materials proposed by CDT are also the sole responsibility of the client, as CDT does not offer legal services. Furthermore, any certifications, offers, or materials provided by the client for use in the project are assumed to be valid and correct; it is not CDT’s responsibility to verify their accuracy. By placing an order with CDT, the client acknowledges and agrees that CDT is not liable for any errors, inaccuracies, or legal issues related to the materials proposed by or approved by the client.
8. Indemnity
The client agrees to indemnify and hold CDT harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to the client’s use of the Website or any violation of these terms and conditions.
9. Renewal and Payment Policy
We provide a 7-day grace period after the renewal due date for clients to update their payment details and renew their subscription. During this period, services will remain active.
If payment is not received by the end of the 7-day grace period:
- The subscription will be terminated, and all services will be deactivated.
- Clients will need to re-subscribe and pay the subscription fee again to reactivate the services.
We encourage all clients to ensure their payment details are up to date to avoid disruptions in service.
10. Changes to Terms
CDT reserves the right to modify or replace these terms and conditions at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised terms on the Website. It is the client’s responsibility to review these terms periodically.
