Web Site Design: Goldfish Network provides a high standard of website design work. The client will have the opportunity to view website design drafts and give feedback during the design process. Once we have completed the design, the client's website is moved into an integration phase, taking content provided by the client and adding it into their website. After all content is placed, client will have 3 days to proofread website for typos, misspellings and grammatical errors. Any changes requested after this proofing, are considered maintenance and will be billed accordingly. Website is then published to hosting company of client's choice. Goldfish Network will exert all reasonable efforts to meet client's satisfaction. Unless otherwise stipulated on the client's original sales order, we will invest up to 40 hours of design and tech time into each website. Client expressly acknowledges that 40 hours is a reasonable time to spend on website design and development. If design changes are requested after integration has begun, it is considered a site redo and the client will be billed accordingly at our standard rates.  We take pride in our satisfied customers and look forward to giving you the same level of service excellence.

Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing: Goldfish Network adheres to the SEO Code of Ethics. Guarantees outside this code are neither extended nor implied. The client has the right at any time to terminate project per the notice provision in this document. No refunds will be given for work done prior to client cancellation notice.

Payment Information: All orders must be paid in full before the start of your project unless special terms were authorized by accounting prior to beginning website construction. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, PayPal & Checks.

Cancellation Policy: Client may notify Goldfish Network of project cancellation consistent with notice provision. Client will be charged a minimum 30% cancellation fee and domain name registration fee (if applicable). If client has approved design and then requests a refund, the refund will be allocated by percentage of website completion as determined by the management of Goldfish Network.

No refunds are available after 30 days from purchase date.

Time Block Billing: If a client opts for Time Block Billing, Goldfish Network will give client an approximate range for intended project but the client assumes responsibility for project scope. All work done by Goldfish Network under this arrangement will be billed at a flat hourly rate of $62.50/hour. Time blocks must be purchased in advance and in increments of $500.00.

Time Frame of Completion: Goldfish Network and the client must work together in order to complete the project in a timely manner. To avoid missed deadlines, the client must supply Goldfish Network with any specific text, graphics, or other specific items for the website design ASAP; 3-8 business days would be optimal. Your site will be delivered within 15 to 20 business days after you supply us with all text, pictures and other content that you require for your site. Client's website project cannot be completed until all content is submitted from client.

Website Content: Content submitted by client including text, diagrams, maps, and photos must be submitted in electronic/digital form. The content may be e-mailed to Goldfish Network or submitted on CD. If the content is only available in paper form, additional fees may be assessed for the time and labor involved in making content suitable for use on the client's website. The additional time and labor is needed for document scanning, color correction and matching, proofreading, and review. The documents must be clear and of such quality that facilitates reproduction in electronic/digital form. Please make sure that all the content you forward to us are copies because we can not be responsible for returning them.

Photos and Graphics: Photos and graphics may be submitted to Goldfish Network on CD in any of the standard graphic formats or emailed directly to Goldfish Network. Paper format should be the highest quality artwork or photos available for Goldfish Network to scan. Make sure your originals are clear and clean. Goldfish Network will resize your graphics to conform to your web page.  Goldfish Network will not accept graphics smaller than 2" X 2" or larger than 8.5" x 11". Please make sure that all the images you forward to us are copies because we can not be responsible for returning them.

Hosting & Domain Name: Web site hosting is available and will be billed monthly. Hosting pricing varies depending upon package selected. Hosting charges begin immediately after web site is published. Publication is confirmed by client signing an Authorization to Publish form. Should client unreasonably withhold signature, Goldfish Network can begin billing hosting charges.

Included in the price of monthly hosting is one hour of Tech/Design time each month. This time can be used for minor changes such as: add/delete text, pictures, links, etc. Please note: Tech/Design time is available once per month and cannot be accrued. If desired, client can purchase additional Tech/Design time at rate of $75.00/hour or purchase time blocks of $500.00 for 8 hours.

If a domain name is needed, Goldfish Network will register the client's name and address as the administrative contact/owner of domain. After completion of the first year, it is the client's responsibility to renew their domain name.
