Hosting Terms

Build Digital Growth reserves the right to change or update these terms at any time without prior notice.

1. Terms

1.1. The whole purpose of our care plans is preventative care, so we work hard to prevent anything from happening. However, in the case something does happen and your website needs emergency care, we will be there right by its side communicating with the web hosting company on your behalf. We cannot promise your website will not be hacked but can promise we will do everything in our power to prevent it through strong website security software. If you do happen to have your website hacked and require website restoration or in more severe cases, cleanup of malware, If you’re on a care plan that does not cover malware cleanup, we will provide an invoice before beginning.

1.2. We are all about building a valuable relationship with you and your website, so we would hate to see you go but we know financial needs weigh on many decisions and don’t want to lock anyone in. However a cancellation in hosting would mean your website will need to be moved elsewhere.

Request a cancellation via email to daniel@builddigitalgrowth.com.au, and we will immediately stop the next payment.

1.3. If a client or a third-party moves a website outside of Build Digital Growth’s hosting environment and does not inform a member of our team with 14 days prior notice, the client will be invoiced for a severance fee of $500 ex gst to cover backups and severance from our systems. For any outstanding invoices that still remain, the client will be subject to pay the outstanding amount within 7 days or face legal action.

1.4. Please note that by having your website hosted by Build Digital Growth, you are agreeing to all of our terms of service and the basic monthly fee of $60 per month, unless a higher plan is arranged. By having your website hosted with Build Digital Growth, the point of contact agrees on behalf of his or her organisation or business. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties. Any changes or modifications thereto must be in writing and signed by both parties.

 

2. Moving to Build Digital Growth

2.1. Because we are moving your website to us, we cannot guarantee the website can be smoothly updated, especially if it has been neglected for long periods of time. In most cases the updating of old websites results in certain functionality breaking which results in excessive hours to fix, If your website is severely outdated, we will let you know and provide a course of action to rectify once you are hosted with ourselves.

 

3. Task Requests

3.1. You simply send us an email to support@builddigitalgrowth.com.au with clear instructions on the content you want to change on your website and we get straight to work and let you know when it’s done. If you’re on our Just Hosting Care Plan, you will be prompted to approve our hourly rate before we begin any work. All other care plan clients will receive unlimited task requests within 24-48 hours from sending your request to our support team.

3.2. If you are on a Protect or Perform Care Plan, you may request as many tasks per month as you like. An unlimited task is a task that falls within 30 minutes, this means we cant go creating entirely new websites, creating emails or any other external tasks (specifically website only).

3.3. Build Digital Growth reserves the right to refuse service to any individual, website, or blogs that contain offensive, obscene, hateful, malicious content or any other reason.

 

4. Website Updates

4.1. Depending on your care plan, each month our team will update all themes and plugins. If at the end of the month you notice themes or plugins are outdated, this is due to plugin and theme developers constantly updating software to newer versions. Customers on higher care plan tiers will receive more consistent updates on a weekly basis.

4.2. If anyone other than Build Digital Growth or its subcontractors attempts to update the web site and damages the design or impairs the ability for the web pages to display or function properly, time to repair the web pages will be assessed at an hourly rate of $150 per hour. There is a one-hour minimum.

4.3. WordPress is always updating, changing and evolving, this is why we can never guarentee 100% uptime. Sometimes a plugin will automatically update without our knowing, or a plugin developer releases an update that is unstable and can bring down the website.

4.4. Some premium themes and plugins require an annual licensing fee for ongoing updates and support. Premium themes and plugins used on your website are provided at their current software version. Future updates and security patches for premium themes and plugins are covered as part of our website management service. We cannot guarantee updates or security patches for any premium themes and plugins used on your site if you opt not participate in our website management service.

 

5. Invoicing and Payment

5.1. To begin receiving hosting & maintenance support, you will need to pay the upfront invoice, along with signing up to our direct debit system.

5.2. On the 1st of every month we send our customers an invoice which is followed by the direct debit from your nominated bank account. If funds are not available in the account, we will keep attempting until the transaction is successful.

5.3. By having your website hosted by Build Digital Growth you accept to meet our payment terms, along with accepting our team to shut down the website if more than 3 months of website hosting is unpaid. You also accept for our team to disclaim on your website that your company has failed to honour these terms and unable to pay your bills and will not be removed until all invoices are up-to-date.

5.4.  Due to our hosting being a part of the care plans, you cannot cancel or receive a refund for any month of the care plan, you can however downgrade or upgrade a care plan.
