Unless another individual is expressly designated in the Service Agreement as your company’s point of contact to whom Craffords should direct all communications, there will be a legal presumption that any person holding themselves out as representing your company’s interests relative to the services, and/or having day to day contact with Craffords in its performance of the services, is your company’s point of contact and is legally authorized to make decisions on your company’s behalf. As such, Craffords will move forward with work authorized by this point of contact and Client shall be responsible for payment for such services.

  2. Deadlines: Client is responsible for meeting time deadline(s) associated with Craffords’s performance of the deliverables which may include but are not limited to deadlines for providing content and/or approvals. Craffords is not responsible for late deliverables resulting from Client’s failure to meet time deadlines specified by Craffords. Client also understands that if it makes changes in scope, requests additional deliverables or requires revisions of work delivered beyond what was set forth in the Service Agreement during the course of a project, this will affect the deadlines originally set at the outset of the project and Craffords will not be considered to have failed to meet the deadline set forth in the original Service Agreement for that project.

  3. Content: Unless otherwise specifically stated as a part of the deliverables in the Service Agreement, Client is responsible for providing all content necessary for Craffords’s performance of the deliverables, including but not limited to written copy, logos, photographs, video, music, fonts and/or other materials. The pricing reflected in your Service Agreement with Craffords assumes that content will be readily provided to Craffords in a manner specified by Craffords, in acceptable format(s), and that Craffords will not be required to pull content from other Client website(s), follow up with prior vendors of Client, find content from third party sources or otherwise spend time obtaining, aggregating or organizing content on Client’s behalf. In situations where Craffords must locate, aggregate, organize or create content on Client’s behalf, Client will be charged for such additional time. Logos, graphics, and/or photographic images should be supplied in an electronic acceptable format, such as high-resolution jpeg. Photo scans are typically charged. Photo retouching, manipulation, or illustration is billed at the rate per hour. This pricing may vary based upon the original source material and the required output.

  4. If written copy is not addressed in the Service Agreement and Client requires Craffords to write copy for inclusion in the deliverables, the same will be charged. In the case where Client is responsible for but has failed to provide written content to Craffords to allow it to perform the deliverables under this Agreement and Craffords therefore must obtain written content from other sources, Craffords disclaims any warranties over the accuracy and reliability of any such information. Client warrants and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for reviewing the accuracy of all written content provided by Craffords in connection with its provision of the deliverables before publication. Client must ensure that the content is factually accurate and not false or misleading.

  5. Where Client is providing content, Client shall be responsible for obtaining all required licenses, permissions and/or approvals for use of such content. Client warrants and agrees that where it has provided content to Craffords, it has full legal authority to use such content and/or has obtained the required licenses, permissions, and/or approvals and warrants that such content is not in violation of any third party’s copyright(s), trade or service marks or other intellectual property rights. Further, client assumes responsibility for the accuracy, spelling and truthfulness of all content it provides to Craffords. All Client-provided content including all pre-existing trademarks and copyright material, shall remain the sole property of Client, and Client shall be the sole owner of all rights in connection therewith. Client hereby grants to Craffords a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use, reproduce, and modify the Client Content solely in connection with Craffords’s performance of the services and the production of the deliverables.
    Where Craffords has agreed to develop a website, video, web, mobile or social media application, email template, etc., such deliverables may require the purchase or license of fonts, photographs, background music, video clips, APIs, plug-ins or other items from a third party. The cost of same is NOT included in the pricing set forth in your Service Agreement with Craffords. Client may either purchase or license those items on their own or Craffords may purchase/license them on Client’s behalf. If Client has not specified that it would like to license these items on their own, Craffords will assume that it should license them and will invoice Client for same. Third party items that Client (or Craffords on behalf of Client) licenses from a third party to be placed deliverables created by Craffords for Client will not be owned by Client. Client should not use such content in other items, such as print materials or promotional items, or otherwise use such content inconsistent with the third party’s terms of licensing such use. Upon request, Craffords will provide Client with a listing of third party content used in the deliverables and the source(s) of such content so that Client may review the licensing requirements associated with that content.

  6. Design – What is Included/Not Included: Unless otherwise specifically stated as a part of the deliverables in your Service Agreement with Craffords, if Client has engaged Craffords to design a website, web application, mobile site, email template or the like, Craffords will provide two home page designs for Client to choose from. Additional designs can be provided at additional cost. In the case of web and/or mobile sites, once Client has selected the design it would like to use as the home page, it will be permitted one round of revisions to that design  Once those revisions have been made, Craffords will design one subpage template that will follow the same look and feel of the home page. Client will be permitted one round of revisions to that subpage template. Please note that the same subpage template will be used for all of the other pages of the site. Additional revisions beyond those set forth above or additional template designs will be billed to the client. Also, please note that the design of the layout/placement of the content in each of the subpages of a site is not included in the cost of the project. Rather, Client will be asked to advise where they wish to place images, content, etc. within each of the subpages. Should Client require assistance in designing a proper aesthetic for each of the subpages this will be at an additional charge. Finally, alterations to or resizing of graphics for placement in the subpages will also be at an additional charge.

  7. Scope change: If Client requests additional work not included in the original scope of the Service Agreement, Client will be responsible for all additional charges. Scope changes include but are not limited to, additional design comps, additional rounds of revision, additional copyrighting/edits, additional video edits, changes to website/web application functionality, addition of plug-ins or other technical capabilities. If a Change Order form or amendment to the Service Agreement is not completed for the change in scope, Client’s emailed or verbal request for any work not included in the original scope of the Service Agreement will be deemed a change order request for which payment will be required. The pricing for the scope change will be the amount set forth in email or verbal communications between Client and Craffords or in a Change Order form.  If no amount has been specified, Client will be billed.

  8. Third party providers: Client will be billed for all third party costs, including but not limited to domain name purchases and renewals, website hosting fees, ESP (email service provider platforms) such as Mailchimp or ConstantContact, CMS (content management system) licenses such as WordPress or Joomla, social media advertising platforms and telephone and SMS messaging platforms.  Some providers charge based on the volume of the number of email sends, posts, ads placed, calls made or messages sent.

  9. Third Party Cancellation fees: Where Craffords has purchased licenses from third parties on behalf of Client and Client seeks to terminate the arrangement prior to expiration of the term required for same, Client shall be responsible for all applicable cancellation fees required from those third parties and also shall be responsible for Craffords’s time spent having to process such cancellations.

  10. Retainer/monthly bank of hours clients: If you are on a monthly marketing retainer/bank of hours, in most cases you will be advised in your Service Agreement the maximum number of monthly marketing hours you are allotted.  We strive to use up to your maximum allotted hours per month; however, occasionally, this is not possible because we are awaiting content or approvals from you for the proposed marketing initiatives or you may have asked to defer some hours in anticipation of a large future initiative. Except as otherwise specified in the Service Agreement or otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Craffords, if you do not use all marketing retainer hours in a month, unused hours may roll forward only to the end of the term of the Agreement. If they are not used they are forfeited. If you exceed the maximum number of hours in a month, Craffords, at its discretion will either reduce your bank of hours for the upcoming month or bill you for any overages.

  11. Branding Clients: If Client has engaged Craffords to assist with business name selection, logo creation or slogan creation, please be advised that Craffords cannot search trademark or other databases to ensure that the name or mark is not already being used, is/is not available to be trademarked or otherwise provide advice on whether the contemplated name or mark is legally available as Craffords cannot provide legal advice to its clients. Craffords encourages Client to retain an attorney to assist in this process.

  12. Search Engine Optimization Clients:
    Client acknowledges the following with respect to SEO services from Craffords:

    1. Craffords has no control over the policies and ranking algorithms of search engines with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future. A Client’s website may decline in rankings or become deindexed from any search engine or directory at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory.

    2. Due to the competitiveness of some keywords/phrases, ongoing algorithm changes, and other competitive factors, Craffords does not guarantee specific rankings or search engine results page positions for any particular keyword, phrase, or search term.

    3. Search engines have been known to rank pages over time, therefore we cannot guarantee the rankings and traffic of new websites (or pages) to improve in “x” amount of time.

    4. Engaging in link schemes, link exchanges or buying links can negatively impact your site’s rankings. Craffords does not assume liability for Client’s choice to link to or obtain a link from any particular website without prior consultation, nor does Craffords assume liability for ranking, traffic, indexing issues related to such penalties.

    5. Craffords’s SEO process takes at least 2-3 months to show some significant effect. During this time, the Client’s site is analyzed and optimized within the timelines and resources specified in the agreement. Achieving stable ranking improvements can take up to 6-12 months.

    6. Craffords is not responsible for changes made to the website by other parties that adversely affect the site’s visibility in search engine results.

    7. Craffords makes no guarantee/warranty of project timelines or added expenses if SEO work is destroyed either wholly or in parts, either knowingly or unknowingly by any party other than Craffords or without the prior consultation of Craffords.

    8. Craffords is not responsible for the Client or any of its affiliates overwriting SEO work. The Client will be charged an additional fee for re-constructing, re-optimizing content/web pages, based on the hourly rate per hour.

  13. Media/Advertising Clients

    1. Performance
      Client acknowledges the following with respect to media/advertising services from Craffords:

  • Craffords accepts no responsibility for policies of advertising networks, third-party search engines, directories or other web sites that Craffords may submit to with respect to the classification or type of content it accepts, whether now or in the future. Client’s website or content may be excluded or banned from any third-party resource at any time if their policies are not adhered to. Client agrees not to hold Craffords responsible for any liability or actions taken by third-party resource under this Agreement.

  • Craffords does not guarantee position, consistent positioning, or specific placement for any particular paid search keyword, phrase or search term. Client acknowledges that Craffords’s past performance is not indicative of any future results client may experience.

  • Client acknowledges that advertising campaigns may be subject to the individual advertising network’s policies and procedures. Changes to these policies may require added resources employed by Craffords to adhere to these changes. The Client may be charged an additional fee for making these updates, based on the hourly rate per hour.

  • Client acknowledges that any advertising networks, search engines, directories or other resources may block, prevent or otherwise stop accepting submissions for an indefinite period of time.

  • Client acknowledges that advertising networks may drop listings from its database for no apparent or predictable reason. Craffords shall re-submit resources to the advertising network based on the current policies of the search engine in question.

  • Craffords will endeavor to make every effort to keep Client informed of any changes that Craffords is made aware of that may impact any of the Paid Media Campaign and Strategy and the execution thereof under this Agreement.

  • Client acknowledges that Craffords cannot guarantee the exact placement of Client’s advertising; its availability or availability related to the funds in the Client’s account.

  • Development of creative assets in support of Paid Media campaigns will be outlined specifically as a part of the deliverables in the SOW with Craffords.

  • Any forecasting metrics provided to Client are estimates based on industry knowledge and advertising network projected forecasts.

  • If Craffords executes Insertion Orders (IO) as it relates to advertising placements, each IO will list the type and amount of deliverables, the maximum amount of money to be spent, and the flight dates of advertising placements. Craffords cannot be held accountable for the exact delivery, inventory and/or performance of ad campaigns projected in an IO due to these being third party forecasts.

  • When applicable, Third Party Ad Server tags will be implemented so that they are functional in all aspects. Craffords cannot be held to reporting accuracy without the ability to install appropriate tagging on all digital assets.

  • When reporting is delivered by Craffords, data is provided directly based on the ad network’s currently available data. If reporting is delivered before 30 days after the campaign has ended, all data may not have time to be collected and exact accuracy can be affected.

  1. Pre-payment for media/liability for payment. Where Client has engaged Craffords to procure media or advertising on its behalf (e.g., including but not limited to print, radio, television, digital), and Client is not paying for the media/advertising directly to the advertising/media vendor, Craffords must receive payment for the media/advertising prior to the media/advertising running.  (Craffords will typically issue an invoice for media budget and media management services the month before the media is scheduled to run.) If Craffords does not receive payment for both the media budget and the media management fees, it may, at its discretion, choose to cancel or pause the media until payment is received. If Craffords has not received payment for the media/advertising but nonetheless allows the media/advertising to run, Client will remain responsible to Craffords and/or the advertising/media vendor for payment of same, notwithstanding the existence of any insertion order or contract between Craffords and the advertising/media vendor. If an advertising/media vendor seeks payment from Craffords for media that Client has not paid Craffords for, Client agrees that it will execute any documents requested by Craffords and/or the media/advertising vendor to assume liability for payment. 

  2. Early termination of media spend. If Client seeks to cancel media earlier than the date set forth in any media contract or insertion order, Craffords will use its best efforts to cancel same without penalty to Client.  However, Client expressly understands and agrees that certain media/advertising vendors will not allow cancellations and/or will charge a cancellation fee or “short rate” for same. Client shall be responsible for those amounts to the extent they have not already been paid to Craffords. To the extent that Craffords has received payment from Client that will cover those amounts, Client shall nonetheless remain responsible for payment of Craffords’s time in having to process the cancellations at a charge.

  3. Effect of termination of Agreement or SOW for media placement. If Client terminates a Service Agreement for media placement, Craffords will cancel all pending media unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. If Client is indebted to Craffords for Craffords’s services, Craffords reserves the right to offset that debt with any payments Client has prepaid to Craffords for media.  Any amounts left over after full payment of Craffords’s outstanding fees (including time spent cancelling media) and fees still due to media/advertising vendors will not be refunded but may instead be used by Client for additional Craffords services and/or additional media placement.

  4. Video clients: Craffords may, but is not required to, retain or store video footage on behalf of Client unless specifically agreed to in the Service Agreement. If a video shoot is scheduled that Client must cancel, Client should provide at least 24 hours notice. Shoots cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to a day’s production fee.

  5. PR clients: While Craffords uses its best efforts to get a Client’s press release(s) published, Client acknowledges that the decision to accept a story remains with the publishing source and Craffords cannot therefore guarantee that a story or press release will be published or when it will be published.

  6. Ownership:

  7. Client Content: Client Content is written or visual content that is provided by Client to Craffords for its performance of the deliverables. Client Content, including all pre-existing trademarks and copyright material, shall remain the sole property of Client, and Client shall be the sole owner of all rights in connection therewith.  Client hereby grants to Craffords a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use, reproduce, and modify the Client Content solely regarding Craffords’s performance of the services and the production of the deliverables.

  8. Third Party Materials: Client shall not own any third party licensed commercial components or materials that are embedded in the deliverables provided to Client. The owners of these components shall retain ownership of these items in accordance with their Terms and Conditions, licensing agreements, or other applicable agreements. Upon request, Craffords shall provide Client with a listing of third party components used in the deliverables and the source(s) of such components.

  9. Designs/Written Copy:  Upon completion of the deliverables and conditioned upon full payment of all fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses due, Craffords shall assign to Client all ownership rights, including any copyrights, in any artwork, designs or written copy Craffords has created for Client as a part of its deliverables. At the request of Client and subject to a charge of $150/hour for assembling and preparing the materials for delivery, Craffords can provide a PSD (Photoshop file) or other file format of any design it has created for Client and/or HTML files. Should Client require any of the above to be placed on a disc (as opposed to delivered electronically), Client shall also be responsible for any applicable sales tax.

  10. Websites, web and mobile applications: Upon completion of the deliverables and conditioned upon full payment of all fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses due, Craffords shall assign to Client all ownership rights to the front end design of any website, web or mobile applications; however, Craffords will retain ownership of all custom back-end programming.  Client, however, will be given a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable, and perpetual right and license to the programming including, but not limited to, the right to modify, amend, and change the programming and create derivative works.  If Client would like to have their website or web application “packaged” up and electronically delivered, this is an additional charge and Client will be billed for same.

  11. Changing Hosts: Should Client wish to move its website/web application to another server/host from the original hosting source, Client will be provided access to port its site over; however, Client should be advised that sites may not port over to certain servers and/or the site may lose certain functionalities on certain servers.  Craffords is not responsible for same and will still be responsible for the charge for packaging the website/web application. Should the site require additional programming to port to another server/host, or should Craffords be required to engage in extensive consulting to assist in the migration, Craffords will bill Client for same at the rate per hour.  Should Client require any of the above to be placed on a disc (as opposed to delivered electronically), Client shall also be responsible for any applicable sales tax.

Term and Termination:  Unless otherwise specified in the Service Agreement, the Service Agreement between Client and Craffords shall be effective as of the date that Client executes the Service Agreement and shall continue in effect for the duration of the term. Once the term has been completed, the Service Agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated upon thirty (30) days notice. If no term is specified in the Service Agreement, the term shall be the latter of complete payment of the amounts due under that Agreement or until the contracted services have been completed. A Service Agreement may only be terminated prior to the end of a term as follows:

  1. Breach.  Either party may terminate an SOW and/or this Agreement in the event of a material breach by the other party if such breach continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of the breach. 

  2. Either Party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in the event the other party files for bankruptcy, or is subject to involuntary bankruptcy.

  3. Effect of Termination on Payment.  In the event of Client’s termination of this Agreement and/or any SOW for claimed breach by Craffords, Client shall pay Craffords for all previously issued unpaid invoices, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Craffords, as well as for services rendered up to the date of termination (such date being thirty (30) days after receipt of notification of the breach) that may or may not yet have been invoiced.  If the payment schedule in the Service Agreement is milestone or project-based, rather than hourly or monthly fee-based, Craffords will determine the number of hours of work performed beyond the last completed (and paid for) milestone or the number of hours expended toward completion of the project beyond what has already been paid for by Client and will invoice Client at the rate for those hours.  Craffords shall provide the Client with an invoice within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the termination.  The client shall pay the invoice within fourteen (14) days of receipt. Such payment shall not affect Craffords’s right to pursue other potential damages relating to the client’s termination.

  4. Survival of Provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portions of this Agreement relating to Taxes, Indemnity, Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law and Venue, Force Majeure, Waiver, and Counterparts shall survive termination of this Agreement.

  1. Taxes: Client will pay, reimburse, and/or hold Craffords harmless for all sales, use, transfer, privilege, tariffs, excise, and all other taxes and duties (other than as related to Craffords’s income), whether international, national, state, or local (however designated), which are levied or imposed by reason of the performance of the deliverables.

  2. Payment: Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Agreement, payment will be due upon receipt of the invoice. Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Agreement, all ongoing monthly program costs will be billed on the first day of the month for that month’s services.  Quarterly or monthly website hosting costs will be billed the month prior to the start of the quarter.  Billing for media spends will be on the first of the month in the month prior to when the spend is to occur.  In the case where Client has terminated a Service Agreement involving recurring monthly program costs or a marketing retainer, Client will be billed for the full month of services if the termination date occurs after the first of the month (e.g., Client gives notice on January 15th of desire to terminate; Client will be billed for January and February due to the 30-day notice period).  Client will not be refunded for pre-paid hosting fees if Client terminates the Service Agreement.  All payments made to Craffords shall be in INR in the form of company check, or electronic online transfer.  Payments made here shall be subject to a 3% processing fee over & above 18% GST.  If Client fails to timely pay the amounts due during the development or delivery of the deliverables pursuant to this paragraph and/or the payment terms set forth in the Services Agreement, Craffords retains the right to stop work and/or suspend services after five (5) days’ written notice (email communication sufficient) until payment is made. Further, Craffords shall retain full ownership over the deliverables (whether completed or not) until full payment is received.

  3. Indemnity: Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Craffords, its owners and employees from and against all allegations, claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs) which arise out of, relate to Craffords’s use of materials furnished by Client (including but not limited to, logos, slogans, trademarks, written content, photographs, video, music and fonts).  Information or data obtained by us from you to substantiate claims made in marketing deliverables shall also be deemed to be “materials furnished by you.”  Such claims may include claims for invasion of privacy, defamation, patent, trademark copyright or other intellectual property claims.  Additionally, Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Craffords, its owners and employees against any and all allegations, claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs) which arise out of, relate to business ideas, innovations, concepts, websites, web-based applications and the like that Client has generated and has asked Craffords to develop or implement.  For example, if you have an idea for a web application, we develop it, and it is determined that the application’s functionality violates another company’s patent, you will indemnify Craffords for any claims instituted by the third party.  Craffords does not take responsibility for determining whether your business ideas, business plans, concepts or innovations may interfere with another party’s rights or are otherwise in compliance with applicable law.  You warrant that any business ideas, business plans, concepts or innovations that you have presented to Craffords and asked Craffords to create deliverables for are compliant with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.

  1. Limitation of Liability: IN NO EVENT SHALL CRAFFORDS BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSSES AS A RESULT OF DISCLOSURE OF USER CONTENT OR OTHER DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH CRAFFORDS’S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CRAFFORDS EXCEED ANY COMPENSATION PAID BY YOU TO CRAFFORDS FOR ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
