Deliverables Needed by Client Prior to Program:
(a) This section constitutes a strict deliverable agreement to ensure that the Company is able to perform the tasks outlined in section one. The following materials need to be given to us before the Kick-Off Call on the first day of the intensive:
1. Client needs to be signed up for Showit on a paid plan of their own
2. Client needs to reach out to Showit for a domain transfer to get the appropriate URL
3. Client needs to already have purchased domain
4. Client needs to migrate blog or podcast if there is one
5. Gather testimonials from past clients to use on the website
6. Create freebies or lead magnets to use on the website
7. Website copy for each of the pages
8. External links that will be used on the website
9. Legal pages consisting of Terms of Use, Terms, and Conditions, and Policy Page all need to be created prior to the call – if you do not have these already, our team will recommend you purchase the templates from our lawyer and do them while we’re working on the website. If you choose to not use them or want to launch without them, Alex Van Doren and Coffee Break Create are not responsible for any GDPR compliance issues or legality concerns related to your choice.
10. Clients' photos need to be submitted to the Company prior to design.
Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy: Things happen, We understand. We allow one reschedule per client if done more than 24 hours before we’re supposed to start our intensive session. If there is an emergency within 24 hours, please contact us to figure out how we can make things work in the future.
(b) I expect my clients to be communicable for the entirety of the week. I do need responses within one hour at max. If I’m designing, and haven’t heard back from you in over an hour, I will move forward with the said designs and you will loose the option to give edits on that section. I don’t want this to ever happen, so please be attentive! Please let me know if you have things going on, or appointments while we’re on our first call of the week so that I know when I can expect you to be busy.
Miscellaneous:
(a) This Agreement shall be construed as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either Party.
(b) Nothing that the Company designs can be resold, or repurposed into an item for sale, like a template or brand kit.
(c) Made with Love by Coffee Break Create is to remain on the Footer of the website for the duration of its life unless agreed upon by the Company.
(d) It is the client's responsibility to provide all content, including images, copy and external links. If said content isn’t provided, it can prevent the site from going live during the one-day intensive. The client can also choose to launch on their own terms if their timeline is geared towards a specific date or other reasons, and releases the Company Service Provider from the responsibility to launch the new website that’s been created.
(e) The VIP Day is a partnership and collaboration and both parties must work together to complete this project efficiently.
(f) If Client has not paid an invoice for more than 30 days, the Company may refer the collection of the unpaid amount to an attorney or collections agency. If Client’s unpaid invoices are referred to an attorney or collections agency, Client shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees or collections agency fees as well as the Company deemed time spent on collecting this payment.
(g) Company reserves the right to discontinue work until the compensation due pursuant to this Agreement is paid in full. Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement upon Client’s failure to pay the compensation due to Company pursuant to this Agreement.
