Policies and Procedures
Contracts & Agreements:
- Transfer of Materials: It is the policy of RPLL Web Developer not to transfer any websites, printed materials, etc. developed that are completed or in process if there is an outstanding balance.
- Transfer of rights to created works: It is the policy of RPLL Web Developer not to transfer any rights to our work if there is an outstanding balance. After the project is completed and full payment has been made according to the Payment Schedule, ownership of project materials will pass from Contractor to Client.
- Content collection and delay of project: We define a development state called “client delay of project” which occurs when the project is on hold for a period of longer than 15 days due to client delay (feedback, interaction, input, material or purchases/ third party expenses to be paid by client). In this event, on the day of the “client delay of project” state, any work that has been completed under the constraints of this agreement by Contractor can be billed to the client at contractor’s discretion.
- Termination Clause: Client or Contractor can extract themselves from this contractual obligation at any time but must provide cause and written notice of the termination of this agreement at least 24 hours before it takes effect. If client is the terminating party, client must provide payment to contractor for work completed up to that date. The amount of payment is determined by the payment schedule and any parts that were completed for any incomplete deliverable. If contractor is the terminating party, contractor forfeits remaining payment for services rendered during the development of the current milestone except in the case of termination due to: i) Client’s inability to pay invoices or make scheduled payments, ii) Client’s inability to provide necessary feedback, input, interaction, and materials to complete the deliverable, iii) Client’s inability to provide necessary purchases, expenses, or payments to third parties.
- Payment schedule: items must be paid on the date they are due. We provide a seven-day grace period after date due listed. After this grace period, work on project covered in client contract will cease until payment item is made. We have the right to refuse support and refuse to transfer materials/ information relating to the account if the grace period has lapsed.
- Project development time: The duration of the project development will be approximately 30 working days. But, the estimated date of completion is an estimate and not a hard requirement due to the unpredictability of the development process and its heavy dependence on: i) a fixed design, ii) the turnaround time and acceptance of produced items by the client, iii) other factors, and ix) factors out of our control such as acts of providence.
- Estimates: The estimates provided relating to the number of hours tasks, projects, or jobs will take are educated guesses and are neither ceilings nor hard quotes unless otherwise stated in the contract. If changes occur during the development process that may affect the budget or development time client will be consulted before change to development process is implemented. Also note that budgeted hours or funds may be shifted between items in the same project.
- In the event of business purchase or transfer of ownership of the client’s company or organization, the client contract and its obligations also transfers to the new owners.
Invoices
- Project Delay due to Non-Payment/ Collection Fees: A penalty of 5% of the total service cost will be applied for invoices that are 30 days overdue or more. Contractor reserves the right to reasonable lawyer fees as dictated under Florida law in the event of non-payment by Client and Contractor’s need to hire an attorney to aid in the collection of monies owed.

At any time, if client has a credit, they may choose to have it sent to them via bank transfer assuming they have no projects or tasks in process. Please allow seven days to process and send the check.
- Outstanding Invoices: If client fails to make full payment by the invoice due date, RPLL Web Developer reserves the right to deny service, deactivate client’s website, and/or discontinue services/support until client makes full payment of their balance. If deactivation takes place, client will be billed for reactivation of their website with a minimum of $50. These additional cost must be paid by client before website is reactivated.
