1. Responsibilities of the Provider
2. Responsibilities of the Owner
3. Use of Third-Party Services/Products
4. Payment Terms

This Agreement shall be considered rolling Contract over a period of a single Calendar Month, unless otherwise specified in writing (i.e. 6 or 12+ month agreements). Any Contracts created and signed by both parties in relation to Hosting services shall supersede this contract, and this contract shall be considered terminated.

1.1 The Provider agrees to maintain the Owner’s Website on the Internet, starting immediately following payment and provision of all Website files (where applicable).
1.2 The Provider shall employ best practices to ensure the security of the Website and any related Databases.

1.4 The Provider shall not prevent the Owner from moving to another Hosting Provider should they wish. This does not include restrictions enforced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which prevent Domain Names from being transferred in the 60 days immediately following the initial purchase or transfer of a Domain Name. For more information about the ICANN 60 day lock, please visit: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ownership-2013-05-03-en
1.5 Where the Owner wishes to terminate their Hosting Plan with AJT Web Services prior to the 60 day ICANN transfer lock, the Provider agrees that the Owner may purchase an alternative Domain Name with their new provider, and has the right to migrate their Website files and Databases to said Domain.

The Owner may then decide to reduce the scope of the brief for that month, or to request a quote for the additional work, which shall be charged at the Provider’s current hourly rate.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OWNER

2.1 The Owner must inform the Provider of any issues that they encounter with their Website at the earliest possible moment.

For example, if the Owner purchased a Hosting and Maintenance + Plan on the 12 April, the Owner must send, in writing, the details of any changes that they desire to be made to their Website, on or prior to the 11 May. Failure to do so for any reason will result in that month’s Website Development time being lost. This is a non-refundable loss.
