A second charge of 50% is required upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of materials.

Payment for services is due by paypal or  wire transfer. Credit and debit cards may also be used under the Paypal merchant payment engine.

3. Client Review

Industry Design Group will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design phase and once the overall website development is completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies Industry Design Group otherwise within 2 days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.

4. Turnaround Time and Content Control

Industry Design Group will install and publicly post or supply the Client's website by the date specified in the project proposal, or at date agreed with Client upon Industry Design Group receiving initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed by Industry Design Group.

During the project, Industry Design Group will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies and sound files

5. Failure to provide required website content:

Industry Design Group is a  business, to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions we may have to reject offers for other work and enquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged.
This is why we ask that you provide all the required information in advance. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%. If your project involves Search Engine Optimisation we need the text content for your site in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.
If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do within one week of project commencement we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this.

Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 & 9, Google Chrome, etc.). Client agrees that Industry Design Group cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.
Industry Design Group cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website have been designed and handed over to the Client.
