If service modifications arise, modifications to the compensated services that the Developer is required to complete must be detailed in the “Modifications to Services” section of the contract.

 

This agreement does not limit the services the Developer may be required to do outside of the scope of that area of development however the services listed are those which are relevant to this agreement and are being compensated for. The terms of this agreement are not subject to change based upon the performance of the intellectual property created under this agreement and nor does this agreement explicitly guarantee performance or sales improvements as these are volatile factors.

The project will initialize regardless of the above mentioned “Start Date” once the total development cost is received by the Developer from the Development Contractor as a nonrefundable deposit to ensure trust and work relations or the first monthly payment of a “BitStream Monthly Subscription.” There is an initial 14 day time period where a Customer may withdraw from a contract for a specific reason after the request is reviewed and no amicable resolution can be made, however, after 14 days all sales and subscriptions are final and enforceable. The Development Contractor will tacitly agree to allot the remaining percent of  a “BitStream Monthly Subscription” once the end date is met, during the period every month on their respective date of payment, or during a period of a cancellation if both parties are still in working relations regardless of the state of the project.

I, the Development Contractor, authorize that I enter into this legally binding contract to fulfill all of the conditions detailed in the “Terms of Agreement” to aid the Developer party in meeting all objectives that are outlined in this agreement. All development that is completed under this agreement will adorn the name and thus be the intellectual property of Bitghost. Bitghost reserves the rights to all developed intellectual property completed under the contracted “Developer’s Services” section until final compensation. This agreement is the complete understanding between the parties and supersedes and replaces all previous agreements or representations both written and oral. I agree to compensate the Developer for any and all legal fees that may arise if any of the agreements of this contract are not met and I am found guilty in a court of law. Any amendment or modification to this agreement must be made in writing. I, the development contractor, have read this document completely and have consulted the necessary legal representatives to understand the full terms of this agreement.

Ownership and Cancellation

Websites

A customer may experience a signup discount when signing up as a courtesy for users to receive ownership of their respective intellectual property of a website created that is both unique and custom. Discounts may be applied at signup at the discretion of Bitghost Inc to ease financial burden for users to eventually own their own custom and unique intellectual property once the contract is fulfilled. This is done to alleviate the initial buying period and offer a loyalty discount if all conditions are met during development. The user may at the time of cancellation of their services request to change their development agency or hosting providing from our recommended providers in which case ownership in an unimpeded fashion takes place when all the criteria are speedily met:

Third-Party Developers

  • During the development period and length of the active contract of this website there were no unapproved third-party developers without the consent of Bitghost Inc included on this project. This is to ensure the integrity of the site files for the user and to mitigate issues for the end user in which case discrepancies do not arise as to the integrity of the site or the proper continued development thereof.

Third-Party Hosting Providers

  • During the development period and length of the active contract of this website there were no unapproved hosts utilized in the migration of this website without consent from Bitghost Inc. This is enforced to protect the user from a unapproved third-party host from corrupting the sites integrity and to prevent the deprecation of any site data or the liability thereof. The sites manufactured by Bitghost Inc are robust in nature due to their plentiful media and media size allowances that are unparalleled on other hosting providers in which case degradation may occur to their inability to serve robust web pages without error.

Loyalty Signup Discount Rules

Typically loyalty discounts do not expire unless a user wishes to exclude, modify, migrate, or cancel Bitghost Inc from an active project. In cases where a discount was applied at signup and was less than 40% there is no stipulation in place and the purchasing user owns the developed intellectual property fully without stipulations and keeps their discounted ownership price. If all of the factors for website agreement are met and the user has paid the full signup cost or if Bitghost Inc deems the contract has been satisfied if there was a generous discount applied (40% discount or more) then the user has no outstanding fees required to cancel their service and inherits full ownership of the site.

Loyalty Discount Repayment

If a client wishes to migrate to a different hosting company during an active or inactive install contract developed by Bitghost Inc and the user has received a discount on signup that was greater than or equal to 40%: the discount offered at signup may be revoked as a subsequent cancellation charge to the client to be paid immediately if ownership of this intellectual property is desired in which case this fee becomes the outstanding the payment for full and unimpeded ownership.

Loyalty Discount Penalty Expiration

All loyalty discounts are enforced for only two years. If a user has received 40% or greater discount on their initial signup via the loyalty program and they fulfill two years of uninterrupted payments, all loyalty discount penalties are removed and the user receives unimpeded ownership.
