1. Payments

• We require payment for the next 12 months to be made in advance at the start of each year, beginning from the day your site goes online and for each subsequent year.
• If your site experiences extremely high traffic, the $30 per month plan may be paused if it exceeds 1 million monthly visits for two consecutive months.
• Hosting plans are mandatory to access the most favorable deals, and design work is available at an additional premium.
• If the work needed is over the scope of the usual maintenance required for hosting a website, we will have to bill our services at $25 per hour.
• Transactional, membership-based or function-heavy projects need to be quoted.
• We ask for 60% of the total price, excluding hosting fees, to be paid before we initiate our work. After the first revision is completed or the week before launch, we ask for the remaining 40% in addition to the next twelve months of hosting fees paid all at once.
• As an emerging studio, we currently process payments through multiple convenient methods including PayPal, Interac e-Transfer, email invoicing, and self-billing systems – while we plan to implement an integrated website payment system as we scale up. For now, we’re happy to accommodate your preferred payment method, and local Montreal clients can even pay in cash in person. Please contact us to arrange payment.

2. Refunds and Cancellations

• All sales are final and non-refundable.
• The option to opt out of our services is unavailable until the hosting renewal time, which occurs after 12 months have passed from the initial purchase.
• In cases of significant challenges or issues, we may be open to renegotiation or partial refunds. Such cases will be evaluated on an individual basis, and any decision to provide a refund is at the sole discretion of 100kSTADIUM.
• To request a review of your case, please contact us at [insert contact information].

3. Service Delivery

• 100kStadium is still an emerging and developing studio. Until we build a strong base of customers, our timelines will differ from project to project. As the saying goes, in software, the last 10% is actually the midway mark. You can expect to have the draft ready for revision four weeks after initiating the order, then we will take two weeks to complete revisions and officially launch the website. So estimates are: 6 weeks from start to finish.
• We are committed to giving the best customer service but we can’t guarantee 100% satisfaction. We are not responsible for differences in tastes, and unsurmountable difficulties might hinder our abilities to deliver.
• We reserve the right to refund and stop working on a project at any point, unless specifically contracted against it.

6. Intellectual Property

Clients are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights and licenses to use any material they provide.

7. Third-Party Services

Our web development process involves the use of third-party services or plugins. These services are subject to their own terms and conditions, and clients are responsible for complying with those terms. 100kSTADIUM is not responsible for any issues arising from the use of third-party services or plugins.

8. Support and Maintenance

As we offer the first year of hosting for free, we will provide weekly manual maintenance that lasts approximately 30 minutes, as well as automated daily maintenance. Additional support and maintenance options may be available with different hosting plans in the future. Ask for a Quote for special support.
