The following Terms define the client or customer agreement (“Agreement”) upon purchase, receipt, or gift of product or services.

Cancellation and Refunds

BOSS AF subscribers may cancel anytime before their next renewal. They may do so manually by logging into the Site and hitting cancel on the “My Accounts” page (rjlewisdigital.com/my-account) or simply contact the team via email at [email protected] and we will assist you in completing this task.

Cancellations within 30 days of purchase may request a refund. If we have rendered services we will provide you with a summary of services rendered and process a partial refund with the cost of work amount withheld.

Possible services rendered may include, but are not limited to:

  • set-up and/or strategy meetings;
  • platform research, configuration, or development;
  • website design and development;
  • brand asset design and creation; and
  • virtual technical assistance
Limited-scope/limited-timeline, schedule-based engagements including, but not limited to the 45-day Done-for-you and BOSS Done-in-a-Day services must be canceled at least 72-hours prior to the scheduled meeting in order to be eligible for a refund.
Customers may reschedule within 26-hours without penalty.
Short-notice cancellations and schedule changes are subject to an inconvenience fee.
 
Proposal-based projects are subject to the following cancellation policy.  You may cancel our agreement at any time by providing us with 30 days written notice and making sure that all of your current fees are paid-in-full.  If we intend to cancel the mutual agreement, we will afford you the same courtesy and provide you with 30 days written notice.  Please understand that all projects require us to make a dedicated allotment of our time to you, so we will issue you a final bill upon cancellation that includes all completed work and a termination fee of no less than $175.

Payment expectations

Products and productized services are paid in advance via the website e-commerce and are subject to the cancellation and refund guidelines detailed above.

Project-based payment expectations

The team here at RJ Lewis Digital is committed to helping business owners, their stakeholders, and their teams to create successful strategies for getting things. Our entire proposal provides you with a detailed summary of how we plan to do that with you – a love letter in plain old English about how technology is our jam! If you have a proposal, then you have more than likely met us and you have seen firsthand how excited we are to work with you – yes?

It is vital to both of us that you pay your invoices immediately.  We will hold your start date without a deposit for five calendar days. After that, we will have to give priority to another client and we will have to reschedule your project for the next available start date.

✅ Payment schedule. Unless a subscription option is provided, payments are assigned as follows:

  • Deposit
    50% of the total project cost is due upon acceptance of the estimate
  • Final Payment
    The remaining balance is due in 30 days

Once the deposit payment has cleared, you receive full access to the project management space along with directions for providing the team access to your systems so that the work can be initiated.

If at any time you are unclear on what to do, please contact us immediately by clicking “HELP!” in the main menu of the Site and requesting assistance. If it is after hours, you will receive a reply via email within 24 business hours.

📣 Unfortunately, we cannot be placed on hold indefinitely in the event that you are unable to provide your content. If you have not provided appropriate access and/or content within 10 days of entering this agreement, you will be asked to schedule a consultation – at no additional charge – so that we can attempt to devise a solution that better fits your immediate needs. Should you fail to maintain communication and forward progress beyond 30 days, your project will need to be rescheduled and your deposit with be forfeit. Attempting to hold our resources beyond that is unfair to other clients, as well as the team. We have learned from experience that this kind of uncertainty creates nothing but friction and complicates, or even sours a successful working relationship.

We are under no obligation to keep your workspace open, or any deliverable work available to you. Should you fail to pay any invoice by the close of the project scope, we reserve the right, but are not obligated to complete the following tasks:

  1. Add an inconvenience fee of 25% to the overdue invoice(s).
  2. Engage collections against you for the outstanding balance.

What is your role as a client?

As the person entering into this agreement, you are confirming that you have the competence, power, and ability to agree to these terms on your own behalf, or that of your company, or organization.

  • You agree to provide RJ Lewis Digital with the tools necessary to complete the work as and when it is needed and in the format, or platform requested, up to and including authorization to access any systems necessary to carry out our duties.
  • You agree to review the work and provide feedback in a timely manner.
  • You agree to pay for my work. (Yes I know that should be a given, but the whole point of a contract is to put it out there).

What is our role as the contractor?

RJ Lewis Digital will maintain the confidentiality of any information that you provide.  We have the experience and ability to perform the services you need and will carry them out in a manner that is professional and cost-effective.  You may have been provided you with a fee estimate with our observations of

  • your goals,
  • the tasks associated with achieving your objectives,
  • the time required to complete these services, and
  • the costs associated with your project.

You are free to determine which of those solutions and subsequent fees will actually apply to this project prior to accepting the estimate. Our number one priority is to fulfill your needs and provide services necessary to achieve the outcomes that we set for this project.

Scope of work (as applicable)

Upon written approval of a proposal document and payment, or payment and agreement to terms in the case of a productized service (i.e. partially or completely paid up-front), we will consider the project requirements to be firmly set and put your timeline and start date in our schedule.

Proprietary Information

You own the graphics and other visual elements that we create for you for this project. We will give you a copy of all files and you should store them really safely as we are not required to keep them or provide any native source files that we used in making them.

You also own text content, photographs, and other data you provided unless someone else owns them. We own the XHTML markup, CSS, and other code and we license it to you for use on only this project.

We love to show off our work and share what we have learned with other people, so we also reserve the right to display and link to your completed project as part of our portfolio and to write about the project on websites, in magazine articles, and in books about design and development.

Design

Should your project require the design of visual elements, we agree to provide one or more mockups for each requirement with the opportunity for you to make up to two rounds of revisions for the idea that you pick. If you are not happy with the design after those revisions, you may either discontinue the service or continue to commission RJ Lewis Digital to make further design revisions at the hourly rate set out in the estimate.

Development

This project may include web development with HTML markup, CSS templates, and PHP coding for the content management system.  We will use these technologies to create web page layouts that reasonably match your design specifications.  You will have the opportunity to make up to two rounds of revisions to the layout of your website.  If you are not happy with the look and feel of your website after those revisions, you may either discontinue the service or continue to commission RJ Lewis Digital to make further design revisions at the hourly rate set out in the estimate.

Deadlines & Deliverables

Together, you and a member of the team will review and refine the timeline of milestones geared towards the goal of completing your project.  We will implement a project management process for you to submit requests for changes, review and approve our work and keep track of the development of the project.  If we have any questions about a request, we will contact you immediately for clarification.  Our processing time depends on your approval, or notification of changes to your project, and we can’t be responsible for a missed launch date or a deadline if you have been late in supplying materials or have not approved or requested changes to our work at any stage of this project. Communication works both ways. If at any time there is a processing delay on our end that will affect the deadline,  we will let you know. At any time, you may request that we issue a final invoice for all completed work. Upon receipt of that payment, we will consider the project completed.

Changes and revisions

We have no desire to limit you to your first idea about how something should look, or how it might work. Throughout the course of this project, you will be presented with options, opportunities to change your mind, and our estimate of the time and resources that will be necessary to accomplish everything that you have stated you want to achieve. This agreement provides for up to two rounds of revisions to the designs and features that we develop.  If you do want to change your mind beyond that, there won’t be a problem, but there will be a fee AND these changes may result in project delays. You will be responsible for any additional expenses that we might incur on your behalf in the performance of our duties.  You will be provided access to our project management system.  We expect you to request all changes via that medium.

Browser Support

The landscape of web browsers and devices changes regularly and our approach is to look forward, not back. With that in mind, we will test all markup and CSS in current versions of all major desktop browsers to ensure that we make the most of them. Users of older, or less capable browsers or devices will experience a design that is appropriate to the capabilities of their software. For example, people using Microsoft Internet Explorer will experience a typographically focussed design with no layout. We will also test that these templates perform well on mobile devices.

We will not test old or abandoned browsers unless otherwise specified. If you need us to consider these older browsers, additional fees may apply.

Photographs

You will supply us with any necessary photographs in the format that is needed to complete your project. If you choose to buy stock photography, we can suggest vendors of stock photography.  If we purchase photographs on your behalf, you will receive the licensing and the charges will be applied to your invoice.

Text Copy

We may have written a best-seller (we haven’t), but we are not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy unless it is specified in your proposal as a solution. We’ll be happy to help as requested, though additional fees may apply.

Website Hosting

You may already have professional website hosting, you might even manage that hosting in-house; if that’s the case, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you, or you can find a web host for yourself. We reserve the right to charge you a one-off fee for installing or migrating your site on a server.

What is not included in the project scope?

Copyright Infringement, or other violation of intellectual property laws

We will not be able to copy someone else’s work for you.  Any materials subject to copyright will need permission from the owner.  Any request to alter someone’s copyrighted material will require a license in order for us to do so as well. The bottom line here?  We will not agree to do something for you that we think is morally reprehensible.

Search Engine Optimization

Although a website will increase your opportunities to grow your business, we cannot literally provide you with website traffic.  We will take the time to populate your site with an accurate description and keyword meta tags, but we am not a search engine optimization strategist and we cannot guarantee that you receive a high search ranking.  Advertising setup is not the same as search engine optimization and we do not provide it. Just so that you know,  that [ad strategy and setup] will cost you money over and above paying for your website or even paying for the ads themselves (aka ad spend).

Content Management

Unless otherwise stated in your service implementation scope or proposal, website maintenance is not included in this agreement.  Editing, revision, update, and input of new and existing content would require a separate agreement and would be invoiced independently.

Technical Support

Unless otherwise stated in your service implementation scope or proposal, tasks such as managing your server, website hosting, and any other support issues are also not a part of this process.

A Warranty

We can’t guarantee that the functions contained in any web page templates, or in a completed website will always be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you, or any third party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of the operation of or inability to operate your website and any other web pages, even if you have advised a representative of RJ Lewis Digital of the possibilities of such damages.

We will see that the final deliverables that we provide to you are uniquely made, or properly licensed for your commercial use. We accept your guarantee that any materials you provide are legally approved for your use as well and as such, we are not liable to you, or any third party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of the use of, or inability to use the final collateral pieces in whole, or part.

No waiver of any provision constitutes a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.  Also, no waiver is binding unless agreed to, in writing by both parties.

If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason is unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Other provisions and limitations

Employment, Representation, and Warranties

Our role in this agreement is as an independent contractor. Neither party is granting the other employment, principle partnership, or benefit of a joint venture. Neither you, nor RJ Lewis Digital have any authority to assume or create any obligation or liability, either express or implied, on behalf of the other. 

You are obligated to compensation based on this Agreement, but not required to withhold income taxes on our behalf.

Furthermore, we agree that there is no employment contract or other contractual obligation that prevents us from entering into this Agreement or from performing our duties, fully under this Agreement.

RJ Lewis Digital will comply with all federal, state, and local laws requiring drivers and other licenses, business permits, and certificates required to carry out the services to be performed under this Agreement.

Successors and Assigns

The provisions of this Agreement remain binding and inure to the benefit of any person, Company, or other entity which succeeds to purchase, acquire or accept assignments of all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding stock of the Company, whether by agreement or operation of law.

Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises under this Agreement, the parties agree to first try to resolve the dispute with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation shall be shared equally by the parties. If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, the parties agree to submit the dispute to a mutually agreed-upon arbitrator in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction to do so. Costs of arbitration, including attorney fees, will be allocated by the arbitrator.

Advice of Counsel

You acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to consult with, and have consulted with, or otherwise waive your right to consult with, independent counsel with respect to your rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Governance

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between both parties pertaining to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties.  No supplement, modification, or amendment is binding unless it is executed in writing by all parties.

This Agreement shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia.

Headings

The headings and/or captions used in connection with this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be construed as part of this Agreement.
