_______
You are about to enter into an agreement with Advisor Advance, a professional provider of Marketing Services for your company. Any reference to ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ or my business means Advisor Advance. Any reference to ‘you’ or ‘your’ means you, our valued client.
These are the terms of our agreement with you:
We will provide the products and services set out in the schedule above. We use a schedule right up front so the information is clear and easy for all of us to find quickly. We need you to provide any information set out in the schedule before we can complete the work or as detailed over time in the schedule.
Advisor Advance incurs significant and disproportionate costs during the first few months of a website and platform development subscription agreement. Therefore, it is necessary to apply certain terms and conditions to our agreement that ensure a profitable business relationship between our businesses.
Our subscription model makes it affordable for businesses to create a website without a large upfront investment by engaging with a traditional website development company. The website or landing pages developed are not able to be transferred to another hosting provider. You can transfer the domain name at any time and then create a new website with another provider. All text on the website can be exported and used on another website. There are no termination costs.
When we offer a service, our objective is to provide you with measurable results and the best value for money. The online world is changing all the time. If we think something that we had offered to do is no longer effective, or no longer available, or there is something that we consider to be even better than what we first offered, we may choose to change parts of the service offered to you.
If we change parts of the service we will let you know. There will be no extra cost to you and no reduction in the price of the service. If you choose not to use one or more features of a service, the price remains the same.
There are some variable costs associated with the usage of some software.
Website hosting variable costs:
Our website hosting includes 10,000 visits per month and 5GB of storage. This is more than enough for 99% of Advisor websites. If you have a high traffic website we can provide a custom costing for you. As an example, up to 100,000 visits per month would be $100 extra per month.
We aim to deliver the landing pages/website you have requested as per the schedule. Naturally, if we are waiting on you to give us specific information, those time frames will be affected and we will need to revise the due date.
If something happens that is beyond our control and it is going to delay the time of delivery of the services, we will let you know straight away and tell you our revised due date.
Software Excluded: All software costs included in our services have been listed in the “Software included” section of the schedule or detailed in your proposal. All other software costs are excluded and you will need to purchase them separately. Extra software that you may wish to purchase in implementing our strategies include Gotowebinar or Everwebinar (Webinar software has not been included) and scheduling software to help manage your appointments (Calendly or Schedule Once).
Email Services: The landing page/website hosting does not include your general individual staff email services. You will need to keep your existing email hosting or we recommend setting up Google’s GSuite. GSuite includes Gmail (email), Docs, Drive (online/cloud storage) and Calendar. Alternatively, you may like to look at Microsoft Office 365.
Logo Design: We do not design logos. We will amend your logo size to fit with your website. But if you require a completely new logo you will need to hire a graphic designer.
Photography: We recommend that you get a professional photographer to take staff photos and head shots. You will need to organise and pay for this yourself.
Stock Photos: If you require stock photos you will need to purchase these separately.
Offline Graphic Design: We do not provide services to design business cards, brochures, folders etc.
Advertising Spend: If we provide you with advertising services in regards to the setup and ongoing management of your ad accounts with Google, Facebook or Linkedin, you will pay for the cost/advertising spend of the ads separately. Once we have setup your ad accounts we will get you to add your own credit card details to the account with Google, Facebook or Linkedin.
The information contained in our training, including suggestions and techniques, is educational in nature and is provided only as general information.
