Licensed Code
All web site construction contracts between KReed Design Services, Inc. and their Licensees respect that code elements custom created for the Licensee are based on toolboxes of techniques and pre-developed codes that are the property of KReed Design Services, Inc. or one of its contractors. This software technology is licensed to the Licensee for a one-time fee and is limited to installation and usage by that Licensee only on one domain, or set of sub domains, so long as these domains are connected documents and only reside on one "server" at a time.

Cancellations
Our clients (Licensees) have 10 days to indicate an order needs to be cancelled unless the project has already been completed or more than 50% complete. All initial deposits are non-refundable and the licensee is required to pay the difference for any time spent over the amount covered by the initial deposit.

Customer Review
KReed Design Services, Inc. will provide the Licensee with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the Licensee's materials once they are scripted. Such scripted materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Licensee notifies KReed Design Services, Inc. otherwise within 10 days of the date KReed Design Services, Inc. sends proofs of such scripted materials to the customer via e-mail or fax.

Custom Development: (Artwork, Programming, Audio, Printing)
All authoring, designing, and updating fees for a web page(s) / advertisement(s) are payable prior to having the web page(s), advertisement(s) or update(s) officially published either on the World Wide Web, in print, on cd or any other publicly accessible media.

Credits

This credit mark may be removed for a nominal surcharge of 20% of the total value of that project.  The purpose of this service mark is to help us with our marketing efforts by not having your support on this issue we would have to increase our advertising overhead and projects like yours could cost more money for all our clients.  We heavily rely on this form of cross marketing and by removing it you could adversely affect our branding and marketing efforts.  If the client decides to no longer allow KReed to host or maintain their web site - all service marks must stay in tact for the life of any graphics delivered by KReed to the client unless negotiated otherwise.  All graphics associated with our service mark must also be displayed in their entirety and as originally intended.  This is important to the brand of KReed Design Services, Inc.  By disrupting this service mark or any portion of work the client will be subject to an additional penalty of 20%.
