Landmark Web Design Terms of Service

Confidentiality

In view of the fact that LANDMARK Web Design’s work will bring LANDMARK Web Design into close contact with many confidential affairs of Client not readily available to the public, and plans for future developments, LANDMARK Web Design agrees to keep secret all matters, except for the existence of this engagement generally, and further agrees not to disclose any such matters to anyone outside of LANDMARK Web Design throughout the term of this agreement, without written consent from Client.

Confidential Information

Confidential information is that which relates to the Client’s or LANDMARK Web Design’s research, development, trade secrets or business affairs and includes, in the case of LANDMARK Web Design’s confidential information, concepts presented to, but not selected by, the Client; it does not include information that is generally known or easily ascertainable by third parties. LANDMARK Web Design and the Client shall mutually respect and maintain each other’s confidential information and shall use it only to perform their respective obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, confidential information does not include information, which is public knowledge, was in the recipient’s possession before receipt or is independently developed by the recipient.

Non-Solicitation

The parties to this Agreement agree that no effort shall be made to solicit employees from the other party, directly or indirectly, and that no compensation of any kind may be offered or provided to any person currently compensated by the other party without prior written consent by the prior compensation provider, for the term of this agreement as described below. Neither party shall solicit the other’s employees, independent contractors or consultants or engage them in any work independent the parties’ relationship under this Agreement during the term of the Agreement and for two years thereafter.

Credit Cards

We offer the option to pay certain invoices with a Bank Transfer. If payment with a Credit Card is Requested the client will be held responsible for the credit card fees.

Any expenses accrued shall be fully reimbursed to LANDMARK Web Design within 30 Days of notification.

Deposits

Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE. A deposit shall be required for work involving a website build NOT UNDER LANDMARK Web Design’s CONTROL i.e.; a website located in the Customer or Client’s hosting account or anywhere that LANDMARK Web Design can be locked out or access denied.

If no payment is made after 90 days of teh website being launched legal action will be taken.
