- TERMS OF AGREEMENT between Shopifix and Client.

‍Non Disparagement

‍Upon the full execution of any Shopifix agreement or proposal, all parties promise and agree that they will not defame or disparage each other, any other party, employee or individual during or after completion or termination of any project. This includes any negative reviews, comments, negative social media posts, Yelp reviews, Google reviews or any other private agency or company. Should either party breach this paragraph, the non-breaching party will be entitled to damages and attorneys fees for any suit for enforcement.

Description of the Services.

Shopifix will design, develop or market a website or function request (the “Project”) for the Client by providing the design, programming services or marketing listed on Proposal Agreement / Digital Marketing Agreement, etc (the “Services”) in a professional and timely manner.

Term / Scheduling

‍Shopifix will begin the Services on the designated date and continue until the satisfactory completion of the Services within the scope of work found in the proposal agreement. The term “satisfactory completion” of the Services means when the software, design or project developed for the Website performs to the specifications set forth on Proposal Agreement.

Payments

‍Fees to Shopifix are due and payable as scheduled in the proposal agreement via milestones. Any additional expenses incurred during development will be invoiced at the completion of the Web site. Shopifix reserves the right to remove web pages from viewing on the Internet until final payment is made. If a payment delay is anticipated, please contact Shopifix immediately for an alternative arrangement. Payments made are nonrefundable. If there is any dispute or concern over future payment Shopifix has the right to change the payment terms. If a dispute arises, Shopifix has the right to limit and request for final payments via check, bank check or wire transfer. Any payment made by client signifies the acceptance of the proposal and terms of this agreement. In case of collection proves necessary, the Client agrees to pay all fees incurred by that process. Regardless of the place of signing of this Agreement, the Client agrees that for purposes of venue, this Agreement was entered into The Netherlands, and any dispute will be litigated or arbitrated in The Netherlands.

Authorization

‍The above-named Client is engaging Shopifix, for the specific purpose of developing and/or improving a World Wide Web site. If the above-named Client wishes to have Shopifix host the Client’s web space on Shopifix’s web server, permission to do such is granted. If the Client prefers to have the site hosted elsewhere, Client hereby authorizes Shopifix to access this FTP account, and authorizes the Internet Service Provider to provide Shopifix with “write permission” for the Client’s web page directory, cgi-bin directory, and any other directories or programs which need to be accessed for this project. The Client also authorizes Shopifix to publicize their completed Web site to major Web search engines, as well as other Web directories and indexes if this is included in the scope of the project.

Additional Expenses

‍Client agrees to reimburse Shopifix for any outside expenses necessary for the completion of the project. These expenses are all Internet fees and are not a source of income for Shopifix. Examples of these external charges would be: securing a domain name; purchase of specific photography at the Client’s request; purchase of specific software at the Client’s request, hosting, plugins.

Client Amendments / Changes / Revisions

‍We encourage input from the Client during the design process. Shopifix understands, however, that clients may request design changes to pages that have already been built or designed to the Client’s specification. To that end, please note that our agreement does not include a provision for revisions outside of our proposal agreement revision policy. On custom web design projects, if page modification is requested after a page has been designed or built to the Client’s specification, we must bill for the additional time and work. Anything that may be considered outside of scope by Shopifix that was not initially planned for or worked on through Shopifix design process is considered out of scope. Out of scope items will also delay the proposed timeline. Shopifix will provide an estimate of added time for each change order, but please be aware that 1 day of client delay is equal to 3 days of agency delay, as a rule of thumb. Once the design and mockup phase is complete and development has started, Shopifix considers that phase complete and no alterations will be made without additional costs and timing impact to the project. Additional modifications will be billed for at €100 per hour or per the rate in the proposal agreement and or per the complexity of the task which is at Shopifix’s discretion.

Remember

‍Once we have completed the revision process in the design phase and have started the development phase, we can’t go back and revise mockups or make any changes without impacting cost and timing of the project. Once the development phase starts we consider the mockup and design phase complete. We’ll either get your signoff by email to start development or if you do not respond within 1 week of mockup delivery, we consider the design and mockup phase complete and we’ll automatically start development. If you anticipate delays in response please advise your account manager in writing to avoid additional costs or time delays in your project.

Revisions

‍During the design phase of your project, revisions are offered per the proposal agreement. Client adheres to the revision policy set within the proposal for all projects that Shopifix performs or engages in.

‍3rd Party Servers & Hosting

‍Shopifix is not a hosting or server provider. During development projects if 3rd party hosting is necessary, the client must provide Shopifix with full admin access of the 3rd party cpanel for configuration of their development project. If issues arise on the clients hosting environment, the client is responsible to handle the issues with their internal or 3rd party hosting support team.

Data migration/data import

‍Any data being migrated or imported into any system by Shopifix must be provided, by the client, in a file format that is both compatible with the receiving system and approved by Shopifix, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the scope of work herein.

‍Incomplete data

‍Shopifix can only import or migrate complete and organized data. For example, an empty category field in a product/inventory spreadsheet/CSV prevents that product from being found via the main navigation and instead requires use of the search bar to locate. It is the responsibility of the client to provide complete, organized, and properly formatted data.

‍Guarantee

‍Shopifix does not guarantee any performance, sales or conversion increases. Shopifix does it’s best to help clients in their design, development and marketing goals, but we do not guarantee any increased results. ‍We do our best to achieve SEO results with a well-balanced campaign however keyword ranking and performance is not guaranteed. Shopifix does not offer any refunds for SEO or digital marketing campaigns (SEO, PPC, Shopping Feeds, Email Marketing, Re-marketing, Content Marketing, Blogging, Social Media). All service under this Agreement is provided “AS IS” and without warranties. Shopifix performs work per our agreements (Scope of work) and we cannot and does not guarantee performance, increase in revenues, increase in engagement or conversion. And Shopifix makes no promises towards any of these types of claims. At times when a website is redesigned or migrated from one platform to another, there can be a dip in traffic and analytics. Shopifix is not responsible for such dips in activity as there can be many reasons for this to occur outside of Shopifix control. Shopifix will only roll back a clients website to the clients’ original site if paid to do so and if there is a backup of the original site that should be stated within the original agreement (Scope of work). If a backup exists, Shopifix is not responsible for the updates made during the time from the last backup.

3rd parties & data reformatting

‍It is also the responsibility of the client to communicate with any vendors or 3rd parties to properly format and relay (to Shopifix) any data that the client is not the primary source of. Unless already discussed and included in the scope of work, any data manipulation, reformatting, field mapping, entry, or sourcing is considered outside of the scope and requires a change order and additional cost to the client.

Unforeseen issues

‍As data migration can be very complex and time-consuming, it is not always possible to account for every step of the process when determining a quote and scope of work. Sometimes there are issues that cannot be discovered until well into the migration process. For example, if the migration requires the use of a 3rd party application or vendor, Shopifix is not responsible for any bugs, delays, issues or noncooperation from said 3rd parties. Alternatively, a scope of work might include adding images to products by downloading images from an FTP file and using the image names to connect them with their associated product data. If the image names are later found to match only 50% of the product IDs, it is not the responsibility of Shopifix to perform out of scope activities to adjust 50% of the image names (or otherwise fix the issue).As such, it is not the responsibility of Shopifix to foresee all possible issues that stem from the client’s assets or 3rd party systems. Extra work that is required to fix such unforeseen issues may require a change order and additional cost to the client.

‍Images

‍Thumbnail images & image sizes: When we migrate images from a previous platform, previous system, or redesign a website and theme images on the client’s current server, image dimensions may need to change in size to accommodate the new theme and or new design during delivery of the new theme/template/migration/upgrade. Otherwise, there can be a mismatch in sizes and how the new template will display. The client will have to resize and or manipulate and handle all changes to image sizes to accommodate the new platform or redesign.

Migration of Images

‍As data migration can be very complex and time-consuming, it is not always possible to account for every step of the process when determining a quote and scope of work. Sometimes there are issues that cannot be discovered until well into the migration process. For example, if the migration requires the use of a 3rd party application or vendor, Shopifix is not responsible for any bugs, delays, issues or noncooperation from said 3rd parties. Alternatively, a scope of work might include adding images to products by downloading images from an FTP file and using the image names to connect them with their associated product data. If the image names are later found to match only 50% of the product IDs, it is not the responsibility of Shopifix to perform out of scope activities to adjust 50% of the image names (or otherwise fix the issue).As such, it is not the responsibility of Shopifix to foresee all possible issues that stem from the client’s assets or 3rd party systems. Extra work that is required to fix such unforeseen issues may require a change order and additional cost to the client.

‍Copy & Descriptions

‍Shopifix is not responsible for product descriptions, image manipulation or any copy unless specifically noted within the scope of work in the agreement. Additional charges will apply for any image and or graphic work, touch-up and or resizing.

Included Support

‍If free or included support is part of your project agreement, support of any QA issues starts from the day we deliver or migrate the site to your account from our sandboxes or test environment. This happens after we receive the final payment and the project has no outstanding payments due. The support period starts whether or not your website goes live or not. During this time any small bugs or QA issues are handled by Shopifix within a 12 to 24 hour period depending on the complexity of the bug or issue. Any rework or revisions from the original mockup or development version of the website will be charged at additional rates for the time spent. After the support period, any reported bugs or issues are charged at the agreed-upon hourly rate within your original contract and scope of work. Shopifix’s rate can change depending on the complexity of fixes, or any internal rate changes. Shopifix has the right to decline to offer support if clients work or tamper with any code during the support period. Any 3rd party work done outside of Shopifix will void our support obligation. Shopifix does not train clients on platform use unless specifically noted in the scope of work. Any support must be addressed with the platform themselves. For any support, Shopifix must be granted full admin access and permissions. During the support period, all requests must be made via email. Support is for technical bugs/issues only and not for platform explanations, training, hosting support or security support. Only valid support requests will be honored. This support does not include instructions on how to use your e-commerce shopping cart software or how to manipulate the code we have implemented. Education in this regard is billable at our hourly development rate.

Website Theme/Template/Custom Coding/System Updates

‍When we take on a custom project, we build our customizations for the latest version of your platform’s theme that is available at the time that the project begins. We ask that you do not automatically or manually update your website or theme after customization has been done, as new theme versions may or may not be compatible with the changes we’ve made. Updates for WordPress, hosted platforms (Bigcommerce, Volusion, Shopify, Shopify Plus, 3dCart, etc), custom websites and other platforms should be handled by the team that created your website. Because of the complexities involved in updates and theme changes, we highly recommend that you hire us to perform these tasks. We consider the latest theme version available on the day that development begins to be the theme we will customize. If an update is released during the course of development, please contact your account manager about adding additional billable time for rebuilding customization on the new theme. Updates can be handled by purchasing a support agreement from our sales department. If you update your website and it breaks, it will cost you more to hire us after the fact.

Custom Code Updates & Compatibility

‍Custom code of any type for any project or website may need future updates to remain compatible with your platform, hosting, 3rd party app, service or project. This is billable time by the agency. 3rd party integrated systems, apps or your platform may update their code or version that may be incompatible to custom code that was created for your project. If this happens it is the clients’ responsibility to hire Shopifix or another party to upgrade or recode that customization so that it is compatible with the latest versions of the 3rd party app, system, platform, checkout. It is not the responsibility of Shopifix to perform free upgrades or know when these updates occur, as we cannot predict this.

Important Security Information

‍Sites that are on Magento, Opencart, WordPress, or another open-source platform that requires self-hosting (Hostgator, Godaddy, Bluehost, etc.) need to be secure & backed up. We highly recommend that you regularly back up your site & keep your site secure by using security plugins & 3rd party software. Shopifix is not responsible for your site once we have completed the scope of work. We cannot prevent malware, hacking, viruses or other issues that are related to self-hosting. Contact your hosting provider for more information about how to secure your site.

Refund / Cancellations

‍All sales are final.

Cancelled / Terminated or Abandoned Projects

‍If a client is engaged in a service agreement with Shopifix and (30) days pass without verbal or written correspondence from that client (or person recognized to speak on the client’s behalf), the project is considered abandoned. Shopifix is not responsible for saving graphics, templates on its test server/sandbox, files, data, and other deliverables. No refunds/credits will be issued. If the client reemerges at a later date, and it is discovered that project deliverables can be recovered, a fee of no more than 50% of the original project price must be paid to either receive any project deliverables or re-engage Shopifix in the project. Shopifix maintains sole discretion over its decision to re-engage in the original service agreement with the client.If the client terminates or cancels an ongoing project all dues and fees remaining for the project are still due for the project. If the project was paid in full, no refunds will be made to client. There are no oral agreements, understandings or representations made by either party that are outside of this agreement unless they are expressly set forth herein. Client without the consent of Shopifix may not cancel this agreement for services at any point during a project. All fees paid prior to cancellation or termination or abandonment, are non-refundable and remaining fees will remain due. Refunds are not available for the purchase of these services. Should client breach this paragraph, Shopifix will be entitled to damages and attorneys fees for any suit for enforcement.

‍Requested Items from Client

‍If the client fails to provide any required documents or other necessary information that Shopifix has requested as part of the scope of work, Shopifix may at its option either terminate this agreement or charge a reinstatement fee in order to continue the project.

Resolution & Separation Agreements

‍Whenever a project is in Dispute, Canceled, Terminated or Abandoned, both the client and Shopifix will be required to sign either a “Resolution Agreement” or “Separation Agreement” in order to continue working on the project or to rescind this proposal agreement. The resolution agreement, provided by Shopifix, will determine the terms under which both parties can resolve the dispute or issues present before moving forward. Shopifix reserves the right to draft such a resolution agreement if, at any time, the terms of this contract are violated, disputed, or questioned. Shopifix also has the right to halt all and/or any remaining work until this agreement is fully executed by both parties. Per our refund policy, Shopifix does not offer refunds for any projects. If a project is canceled or abandoned, the client remains responsible for any outstanding payments which are due to Shopifix.

‍Digital Marketing Communication & Freeze Policy

‍Communication is a keystone of any successful digital marketing campaign. Throughout the course of the campaign, we’ll need your approval on many items, such as keywords, content, and strategy changes. We have many items which can be put on auto-approval at your request so that you can set the level of time commitment to this project that works for your business. For all items which are not on auto approval we expect manual approvals within 48 business hours. If a piece of content goes two weeks without manual approval we consider it automatically auto-approved.

Other items, however, cannot be put on auto-approve and require your attention. If for any reason, a client is unable to give approval or feedback on an essential item, the initial keyword list for instance, for a period of two weeks, Shopifix will freeze work for the digital marketing campaign. If a project remains Frozen for 30 days, the project balance goes into collections. Once a project has been placed into collections it cannot be restarted but the full balance remains due.

On-Hold and Frozen Projects

‍The client is responsible for maintaining continuous communication for as long as the work agreed upon in this proposal is in progress. To ensure the best possible service, we require a response from any correspondence sent from Shopifix to the client within a period of seven (7) calendar days. If no response is received within seven days, the project as outlined in this proposal goes into an On-Hold Status. The following steps will take place in this order once a project is placed On-Hold:

Once a project goes On-Hold it loses its place in our project queue. When work resumes the project is placed behind other projects in the queue which have not been placed On-Hold.If a project remains On-Hold for 30 days, it becomes Frozen. A freeze fee of 20% of the total project price is required to restart any Frozen project. Once unfrozen, the project is then scheduled back into our project queue and timelines will adjust accordingly.If a project remains Frozen for 30 days (a total of 60 days after being placed On-Hold), the project balance goes into collections. Once a project has been placed into collections it cannot be restarted but the full balance and freeze fees remain due.

It is also important to note that long periods of inaction can have an effect on the eventual outcome of the project and the timeline. Please keep in mind:

Any delayed project may incur additional fees due to changing circumstances. This may include things like additional time to update a platform or software to its latest version, a necessary change in development resources, time to acquaint new team members with the details of the project, etc.

Any prolonged and consistent gaps in communication during a project will inevitably change the project timeline. Any timeline given after a project has been Frozen is our best estimate which includes reassigning resources and reacquainting members of our team with your scope of work.

Once a project has been frozen it can be terminated or restarted until an agreement has been signed by both parties. A restart or separation agreement will be provided to the client by Shopifix which must be accepted in order to resolve the project freeze.

Sandbox Environments

‍In order to keep your site up and running during your project, we work in a sandbox environment when possible. A project can be completed and thoroughly tested on the sandbox environment before ever going live. However, sandboxes cannot completely eliminate downtime. We typically correct any issues right away, but on rare occasions, it can take us up to 24-48 hours to complete live implementations.

Rules Regarding Shopifix Sandbox Environments:

‍For budget and time constraint reasons, it is sometimes necessary for us to work in live environments. If working on a live environment is not an option for you, please advise your account manager prior to signing this agreement (or assigning us a ticket) so that a sandbox fee can be added to the scope of work and project price.

Sandbox Synchronization

The sandbox represents your site on the day we copied it. If any drastic changes were made to the site between that date and the delivery date that require the site be re-synchronized, an additional charge will be required.

Site Backup

‍If, for any reason, you’d like to keep your site backed up on our sandbox beyond migration to the live environment, that is an option that is available at an extra cost. Please arrange it with your account manager.

Sandbox Access

‍Only Shopifix employees will have access to Shopifix sandboxes. Clients will see their sandbox site during the QA and Testing process. If you terminate a project, the sandbox is not transferable to you, or to another company. 3rd Parties are not allowed access to the sandbox unless it’s specifically noted within the project scope.

Project Delays

‍Because keeping a site on a Shopifix sandbox requires time and resources if a project exceeds its timeline due to delays caused by a client or a 3rd party, Shopifix reserves the right to charge a sandbox fee, of €100 per month, to keep a sandbox available. Your account manager will inform you if a delay will incur a sandbox fee.

Files

Created files of a project created by Shopify are the property of Shopifix until the project is 100% complete and any open payments are fully satisfied. Shopifix holds project files for up to 30 days of project completion or site migration date. Past this timeframe, Shopifix may delete the files at its own discretion. If you need project files for your record please request them from your account manager once your project is completed and we’ll be happy to send them to you.

Project Phases & Platform Version Control

‍Like any piece of technology, from a smartphone to a laptop to a video game console, eCommerce platforms are always making updates to their systems. Updated theme versions will be released all the time, and here at Shopifix, we want to deliver your site on the most updated version of your platform if possible. For almost all projects, that’s not an issue. The theme that we begin development on is still the latest theme available when we conclude. However, in the rare cases where a client needs to put their project on pause, or the normal design and development process is subject to consistent unforeseen delays it can happen that a theme may have been updated many times by the platform before the site is ready to launch. This is why we set Project Phase windows. In order to be able to better control the version that your project is launched with. If the timeframe is short, we can easily update the version to the latest and greatest. Longer delays mean more difference between the theme versions and there can be far more complications that need attention, which is why updating to the newest version can be cumbersome, and costly.

Your proposal has an estimated timeline as well as a maximum timeline, where each phase of the project is given a duration which it should not exceed. As long as your project wraps within that maximum timeline Shopifix guarantees that you will launch on your platform’s latest theme version. If your project goes beyond the stated Project Phase windows, you will have the option to update the platform by purchasing additional development time. Shopifix will require 10 hours per delayed month of development time in order to bring your site up to the latest theme version before launch. These hours can be added to your final invoice. The hourly rate is the same as the hourly rate listed within your statement of work. Shopifix also reserves the right to add an additional charge of 10% of the total project price per month of delay in order to recoup the extra costs incurred by the delay.

Our Project Phase windows begin begins on the date of your project kickoff meeting and ends as soon as the site is launched. If you’re worried about exceeding the design or development window it’s a good idea to remember that in web development everything has a ripple effect. For example, the design and development phases run concurrently so delays in approving or commenting on designs cause them to get to development more slowly and stretch that development window. The same thing can be true of data migration, testing or even of the launch phase. A good rule of thumb to use is 1 day of delay from the client side translates into 3 days of delay from the agency side.

These maximum timelines are in place to help make sure your site is as up to date as it can possibly be when it’s launched. If you have questions about how the development window will work with your specific timeline reach out to your project manager to discuss it.

Compatibility

‍Although we endeavor to give each visitor the same website viewing experience, Shopifix cannot guarantee all design elements or features will work with all browsers, especially older browsers that don’t support HTML5 or CSS3. Our sites look best in Internet Explorer 11+, Firefox 5+, Chrome 13.5+, Safari 5+. Each platform/technology has a list of supported browsers and we can only support the browsers the platforms support at the time of delivery. Even the browser company at times stops support of their own browsers and this cannot be controlled or the responsibility of Shopifix.

3rd Party Apps & 3rd Party Services

‍Shopifix cannot be held responsible for changes a 3rd party vendor makes to their product between the authorization of this proposal and the installation of the 3rd party service. Integration of 3rd party services is considered based on their capabilities at the time that our scope of work is created.

Emergency Support

If your website needs emergency support, and if our team is available to assist, we’re happy to try to resolve your emergency issue as quickly as possible. Emergency support may require our team to stop other activities or handle the issue outside of our normal office hours. Since we are not a 24/7 agency, and our support department does not work weekends/nights/holidays, support is optional and a premium service. Priority support is available at €175/hr during business hours (minimum 3 hours). Weekend, holiday or after hour support is billed at €150/hr (minimum 5 hours).

Approval of Project

‍On completion of the Project, the Client will be notified and have the opportunity to review it. The Client should advise Shopifix of any unsatisfactory points within 7 days of receipt of such notification. Any of the Project which has not been reported to Shopifix as unsatisfactory within the 7 day review period will be deemed to have been Initials approved. Once approved, or deemed approved, the contract will be considered completed and the remaining balance will become due. The Contract will remain in effect until all obligations have been completed or until Shopifix has access for revisions and or changes, fixes.

Maintenance and Correction of Errors

‍Shopifix takes no responsibility for the functionality or maintenance (unless regular maintenance/updates or ongoing search engine optimization are requested by Client as a separate project) of the Website after the project has been completed. Errors (both technical and typographical) attributable to Shopifix will be corrected free of charge, but Shopifix reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for correction of errors for which Shopifix is not responsible, including, but not limited to modification of the Website by a third party and typographical errors contained in materials provided to Shopifix by the Client.

Any 3rd party testing tool (Like W3C or Google Validators) are not supported by Shopifix and are outside of scope as each tool uses a unique methodology to look at different factors that we have limited control over, as the platforms we work with may not support these standards. If you need special validation from a particular tool, this can be scoped and priced at an additional fee.

Contractors & Subcontractors

‍Shopifix may engage other parties as Sub-Contractors to perform work as needed for different areas of expertise. Client consents and agrees that Shopifix may engage contractors & or subcontractors to provide services as it deems necessary.

Copyrights and Trademarks

‍The Client represents to Shopifix and unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished or approved to Shopifix for inclusion in Web pages are owned by the Client, or that the Client has permission from the rightful Client or Source to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend Shopifix from any claim or suit arising from the use of such elements furnished or approved by the Client.

Copyright to Web Pages

‍Copyright to the finished assembled work of web pages and graphics produced by the Developer shall be vested with the Client upon final payment for the project. This is to include, design, photos, graphics, source code, work-up files, text, and any program(s) specifically designed or purchased on behalf of the Client for completion of this project. Rights to photos, graphics, source code, work-up files, and computer programs not specifically designed or purchased on behalf of the Client, are specifically not transferred to the Client, and remain the property of their respective Clients. Shopifix retains the right to display graphics and other Web design elements as examples of their work in their respective portfolios. Shopifix shall include the following copyright notice (or any other notices requested by the Client) to be displayed on each page of the Website that can be viewed by a user: “Copyright 2022 (your company name) all rights reserved.”
