4. Turnaround Time and Content Control

During the project, CAM Marketing Group LLC will require the Client to provide website content; text, images, movies and other collateral to complete the job.

5. Failure to provide required website content:

CAM Marketing Group LLC is a small business; to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions, we may have to reject offers for other work and inquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged.

This is why we ask that you provide all the required information in advance. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%. If your project involves Search Engine Optimization we need the text content for your site in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.

If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do within one week of project commencement we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx, .pdf), email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this.

Using our content management system you are able to keep your content up to date yourself. We will make later changes on your behalf, at the request, as needed. Please note there may be charges to have this done, an estimate will be given to complete this task first.

6. Payment & Connecticut Taxes

Invoices will be provided by CAM Marketing Group LLC upon completion but before publishing the live website. Invoices are normally sent via email; however, the Client may choose to receive hard copy invoices. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed a service charge in the amount of four percent (4%) per month of the total amount due.

Checks returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of $30 and the Client's account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay CAM Marketing Group LLC reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by CAM Marketing Group LLC in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

The Client should keep a record of the due dates for payment to ensure that payment is received in good time. Should the client accept CAM Marketing Group LLC as their website hosting provider, we will be responsible for the renewal of said domain, hosting charges and maintenance on said servers. Domain URLs will be available for transfer 6 months after initial registration or renewal. While Client is in good standing, the domain may be transferred from CAM Marketing Group LLC to Client within a timely manner as requested, and at no charge. Once the domain is no longer under CAM Marketing Group LLC’s portfolio, it is up to the client to maintain, direct, and pay for said domain URL.
