These terms and conditions may be updated from time to time without prior notice.

Please email info@bluefusionweb.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)1684 216 413 to discuss any amendments or issues relating to your website.

The following terms shall apply unless specifically varied in writing by Blue Fusion Web, upon confirmation by the client of their wish to proceed with a project.

Web Hosting:
Our web hosting includes the following specifications where applicable.

  • 5120 MB (5 GB) Transfer / Bandwidth / Month
  • 300 MB Disk Space for our standard hosting
  • SSL Certificate for HTTPS
  • Domain Hosting
  • FTP Access*
  • Email Account(s)
  • PHP / HTML5 / CSS3
  • MySQL Database
  • Custom Error Pages
  • Backup System
  • Protected Areas (Directories/Users/Groups)
  • Web Statistics
  • FREE SETUP

We offer several packages with different limits depending on a websites usage.

If required, any of the above can be altered at a negotiable cost. If for example more bandwidth is required after the first month, this is fully flexible. Contact us for more details.

This offer is only valid when the payment terms are met and full payment is received by us within the allowed time as stated on invoice.

Hosting will renew annually and you will be sent a reminder at the appropriate time. The cost of our hosting packages and domain renewals may change as the costs of providing the service change.

FREE Domain Name Offer:
Blue Fusion Web offers the inclusion of a free .co.uk or .com domain name with every web design or re-design project. This excludes projects where the work to be carried out has a total value of less than £500.00.

This offer is subject to the availability of the desired domain name. Should the domain name not be available an alternative domain name will be suggested.

The free offer must be taken up before the web design project has been completed and invoiced.

The offer registers a .co.uk for 2 years for free, or a .com domain name for a period of 12 months, for free.

Price Matching:

We feel we already offer some of the best value for money you will find. However should you find a cheaper price elsewhere, we will, at our own discretion, offer to beat the price by £10. To qualify the cheaper quote must be from a reputable company within a 100 mile radius of Blue Fusion Web, and the quote must be like-for-like in terms of size, functionality and quality. The design must be bespoke and where we will be using bespoke CMS, e-Commerce or other functionality so too must the other party.

We will require evidence of the cheaper quote and reserve the right to contact the 3rd party to confirm details of the quote where necessary.

1.5 "Supplier" means Blue Fusion Web or bluefusionweb.co.uk


2. GENERAL

2.1 These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts for the supply of services by the Supplier to the Customer.
2.2 Before the commencement of the services the Supplier shall submit to the Customer a Service Specification which shall specify the services to be performed and the fees payable. The Customer shall notify the Supplier immediately if the Customer does not agree with the contents of the Service Specification. All Service Specifications shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions.
2.3 The Supplier shall use all reasonable endeavours to complete the services within estimated time frames but time shall not be of the essence in the performance of any services. From time to time things may take longer than first thought to ensure a project meets our high standards.


3. FEES AND PAYMENT

3.1 The fees for the performance of the services are as set out in the Service Specification. The Supplier shall invoice the Customer for the services.
3.1.2 On services with a value of more than £500 a deposit of 40% of the total initial estimate shall be invoiced and is due before commencement of our services. The remaining 60% and any additional fees incurred and agreed during the construction phase will be invoiced on completion of work, and BEFORE any website or work is put live on the domain(s).
3.1.3 On services with a value of less than £500 we may, at our discretion, request full (100%) payment before the commencement of work.
3.2 Invoiced amounts shall be due and payable within 28 days of the invoice date, unless a longer term is otherwise agreed. Some invoices for some services such as pay-per-click may be payable in less than 28 days, and if so this will be stated on the invoice. It is the Customer's responsibility to allow ample time for payment to be received, allowing for postal delays and any other foreseeable events. In the event of payment not being received within the agreed time, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge a late payment fee of £40 for amounts due of £999.99 or less, and £70 for late payments totalling £1000 or more, and then interest on overdue invoices at a rate of 12.5%. In the event that the Customer's procedures require that an invoice be submitted against a purchase order to payment, the Customer shall be responsible for issuing such purchase order before the services are rendered.
3.3 The figures used in 3.2 are believed to be correct at the time of writing. If however these figures are incorrect under UK law at the time payment is due, figures from the current UK Late Payment Legislation shall be used.


4. CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1 To enable the Supplier to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Customer shall:
4.1.1 co-operate with the Supplier;
4.1.2 provide the Supplier with any information reasonably required by the Supplier;

4.3 Without prejudice to any other rights to which the Supplier may be entitled, in the event that the Customer unlawfully terminates or cancels the services agreed to in the Service Specification, the Customer shall be required to pay to the Supplier as agreed damages and not as a penalty the full amount of any third party costs to which the Supplier has committed and in respect of cancellations on less than five working days' written notice the full amount of the services contracted for as set out in the Service Specification, and the Customer agrees this is a genuine pre-estimate of the Supplier's losses in such a case. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer's failure to comply with any obligations under Clause 4.1 shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the services and subject to the payment of the damages set out in this Clause.
4.4 In the event that the Customer or any third party, not being a sub-contractor of the Supplier, shall omit or commit anything which prevents or delays the Supplier from undertaking or complying with any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the Supplier shall notify the Customer as soon as possible and:
4.4.1 the Supplier shall have no liability in respect of any delay to the completion of any project;
