We respect freedom of speech and expression unless it is harmful to others. These brief guidelines are imposed to protect you, other Simply 40 customers and us against such harm. In the absence of any other Agreement, you will have accepted this Policy and these Terms and be bound by them if you use any of the services offered by Simply 40 (“Services”) or otherwise indicate your affirmative acceptance of such Services.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason not prohibited by law. Also we reserve the right to terminate service to any client for any reason not prohibited by law. Any deliberate attempt to cause harm to Simply 40 in any way, will result in immediate account deactivation without prior notice. No refund will be issued in this case.

Simply 40 will design and develop a website, as well as provide hosting for an initial twelve (12) months. This is an annual and automatically renewable service.

Your annual payment for this service includes free unlimited updates to your website at the sole discretion of Simply 40, for that annual term. Simply 40 reserves the right to refuse, deny or postpone any update(s). Any revisions, additions, updates, content or requests must be submitted through our online ticketing system.

Security and maintenance updates are done on routinely and content updates are done on Tuesdays.

TURNAROUND-TIME

Simply 40 follows an interactive, hands on, reference guide for each phase of our process. It is the client’s responsibility to provide all necessary content, approvals, responses and more, in order to gauge the time from commencement to launch. In addition, websites that consist of more than 5 pages or include additional add-on functionality will factor into turnaround time as well. Timely approvals of each phase of the process are crucial. If the approval is delayed, the turn around will be delayed as well. A typical project can range from 3 weeks to 3 months depending on the complexity. If you have a deadline, please let us know up front so that we can focus on projected time-frames. Short deadlines may require a rush fee.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

In order to offer you unlimited and consistent updating of your website, we provide hosting service and domain name registration for you totally free and included in your plan. If you have existing hosting or a domain name, we provide totally free migrations. We partner with Google Domain Services, as well as Amazon Cloud VPS to offer you only the best of the best!

We are a full service web design and development firm. We are capable of any need or service you may have. We will advise you on any service that may be outside of the scope of the Simply 40 plan and will then offer recommendations about our best practices for accommodating your needs.

SERVICE INFORMATION

You agree to a twelve (12) month contractual term of service. 

The first payment activates your service and becomes your first day of your service term. If you cancel your service before the end of a 12 month period, of a “yearly” subscription, no further payment is due and no refund is offered. If you cancel service before the end of a 12 month period, of your “monthly” service, the remainder of the 12 month service agreement will remain due.

Once a project has been created in our system, we immediately create your account. The $199 set-up fee goes directly to licensing and software for your account. In addition, there is extensive administrative work that goes into organizing your account in our system so that your project is streamlined with automation. Therefore, once the project has been registered through Simply 40 it can not be refunded and the 12 month service fee remains due.

All work product material will be held/retained until full payment is received which includes: website, hosting and domain.

This agreement will automatically renew for the following twelve (12) month term unless canceled in writing by you at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of term renewal date.

If after a 12 month term you would like to port your website to another hosting provider, a request must be sent in writing by you at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of term renewal date. We will then send a zip archive of your server files for the full service period via dropbox or email.

If you would like to port out your website before your 12 month term is completed, the full account balance is due before we can provide your server archive file and any other account materials. 

In the case of either scenario, once the archive is sent and the port complete, your hosting account/server will be deleted from Simply 40 and will no longer be available to be reopened. If you would like to rejoin Simpy 40, a new account will need to be opened.

Adding or renewing any monthly add-ons, at a month-to-month rate, will renew your full service for an additional 12 months from the date you activated the add-on.

Renewal prices are subject to change. Renewing services acts as your agreement and signature to any contract revisions and price changes. Renewal fees for the following term will be automatically charged to your account.

COPYRIGHTS

If this agreement is cancelled at any time before a 12 month service period, all copyrights are retained by Simply 40 including full website design, concept, development, hosting, domain, graphics provided by Simply 40 and any website copy created by Simply 40. This excludes any content provided by the client.

Simply 40 holds copyrights to unpaid designs and reserves the right to use any part of unpaid designs, (that were not supplied by a client), whether partial or whole, for resale.

CANCELLATIONS

At the time of cancellation from Simply 40, whether by the client or Simply 40, the client must complete a minimum 12 month service period for their website, complete a minimum 12 month service period for each additional add-on (each having its own 12 month service period), fully pay any additional Simply 40 invoices, and fully pay any 3rd party products/services. The 12 month service fees may be paid in advance if the client is requesting cancellation before the 12 month period is completed. All cancellation requests must be emailed directly to Simply 40 at cancel@simply40.com. All cancellations will require the client to sign a cancellation agreement and pay the final total before the account can be cancelled. The client may then request a full copy of website files. Once full website archive file is sent, the copyright ownership is fully transferred to the client. 3rd party licenses, software, some domains, plugins, themes, or hosting account are not transferable.

It is the client’s responsibility to secure email confirmation from Simply 40 that the service has been cancelled. If the client has not yet received email confirmation of service cancellation, then the account remains active, and you will continue to be invoiced. Clients are responsible for all charges associated with a service until cancellation is verified via email. If the client has a balance due at the time of cancellation, this balance must be paid in full and the cancellation may be refused until such a payment is made. Cancellation does not absolve client of any outstanding financial obligations. Simply 40 reserves the right to go through a third-party collection agency to collect any overdue payments. All accounts sent through a third-party collection agency will have an additional fee of 38% of the amount owed added to cover the collections fees and other related expenses, subject to applicable laws.

PAYMENTS & NON-PAYMENTS

When checking out through Simply40.com, it is imperative that you check your shopping cart total. If you check out with items in your cart, such as add-ons that you did not intend to add, we will only refund those add-ons within 2 hours of purchase, and less a 10% service-fee. Should you put through any charges, such as double payments that you did not intend to process, we will only refund that amount within 2 hours of processing, and less a 10% service-fee. It is the client’s responsibility to understand the charges that they are agreeing to be processed.

Credit cards may be billed up to seven days in advance of the due date to assure that service will not be affected if there is a problem with the credit card.

In the event that your monthly service fee does not process correctly, we will contact you to resolve the balance. If the payment(s) is not satisfied within 10 days, we will disable the current account and a re-reinstatement fee of $59 will be due, in addition to the balance, to bring the account current and live.

Simply considers all credit card chargebacks for services rendered, or partially rendered, to be fraudulent. Such accounts will be assessed a $250 fee, per incident, have their balance sent to a third-party collections agency and have fraudulent charged brought against them.
