Conversion from Project Services to Retained Services

13.

Client may elect to convert a Project Services Agreement to a Retained Services Agreement upon written agreement between the Parties and completion of a Retained Services Addendum. LA Marketing shall not apply paid Project Services fees to a Project Service Agreement that has been converted to a Retained Services Agreement unless LA Marketing explicitly agrees to do so in writing.

Your Obligations

14.

You must obtain any permissions, consents, licences or otherwise that we need and must give us with access to any and all relevant information, materials, properties and any other matters which we need to provide the Services. 

15.

 If you do not comply with clause 14, we can terminate the Services

16.

From 1st October 2017, we have a new webhosting server provider. All new and existing clients whose websites we host must adopt a Website Care Package (paid monthly) in order to maintain the security and updates to the website. Failure to do this can result in your website becoming compromised for which we, the supplier, are not liable nor responsible on any part. All our websites use a shared server, which means when a website is compromised, it’s entirely possible that it may also compromise other websites using the same server, hence the importance of minimising any risk your website may cause.

Election to Terminate

19.
