Terms and Conditions
Terms
As our customer, you have the power and ability to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. You agree to provide us with everything that we need to complete the project including text copy, images and/or logos, and other information as and when we need it, and in the format that we ask for. You agree to review our work, provide feedback, and sign-off approval in a timely manner as well. Deadlines work both ways and you will also be bound by any dates that we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract. We have the experience and ability to perform the services you need from us, and we will carry them out in a professional and timely manner. Along the way, we will endeavor to meet all the deadlines set, but we can’t be held responsible for a missed launch date or a deadline if you have been late in supplying materials or have not approved or signed off our work on time at any stage. On top of this, we will also maintain the confidentiality of any information that you give us.
Payments Due Upon Siging
When you sign a contract for a monthly service plan or a product with a payment plan, you will be required to make an initial payment. For monthly service plans, the initial payment will be for the first month of service. For products with payment plans, it will be for the first portion of the payment plan.
After the initial payment, for monthly service plans, subsequent payments will be due on the same day of each month. For products with payment plans, subsequent payments will be due according to the agreed-upon payment schedule.

Payment Late Fees
Websites
Licensing
Once the Website or Application has been paid in full, Advent Trinity Marketing Agency will release the license to the client. The client is free to host the Website or Application on any server of their choice, as long as the terms and conditions outlined in the Hosting Services Contract are met.
Hosting
As the code we produce contains proprietary functions and/or coding techniques, and the constituent files we use to construct your website are licensed to us, we require that all websites be hosted on servers over which we can administer them. This also allows us to provide superior technical support when it comes to editing or modifying your website in the future. Additional terms and conditions are outlined in the Hosting Services Contract.
Maintenance
Any customer who does not have a website maintenance package will be charged $150 per hour for any service rendered. This charge will apply to any work performed on the customer’s website, including but not limited to, updates, revisions, troubleshooting, and technical support. The customer will be notified in advance of the estimated cost of any work to be performed, and the customer must agree to the cost before work can proceed. Payment for services rendered will be due upon completion of the work, and payment must be made in full before any work is released or published. Any disputes or issues with the work performed must be brought to our attention within 48 hours of completion of the work. Failure to do so will be considered acceptance of the work performed, and the customer will be responsible for the full cost of the services rendered. Advent Trinity Marketing Agency reserves the right to refuse service to any customer for any reason, at our sole discretion.
Technical Service
Because each website we create resides on hosting servers over which we administrate, we are here to provide you with technical support. The level of support you are entitled to depends on the hosting plan you’ve selected. Changes or support outside the scope of your support level will be billed to you at the current support hourly rate. All support requests may be informally submitted via the support form at https://adventtrinity.com/support/ or emailed to support@adventtrinity.com; there is no need to fill out a formal signed request. All support will be handled in triage, and at our earliest availability.
Legal Considerations
Copyrights
You guarantee to us that any elements of text, graphics, photos, videos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork that you provide us for inclusion in the website are either owned by your good selves, or that you have permission to use them. We are not responsible for copyright infringement and will comply with all legitimate copyright violation notices to the best of our abilities. Upon termination of our services, the copyrights are automatically assigned as follows: 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 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 HTML markup, CSS, JavaScript, and any other code and we license it to you for use only on this project. As the code we produce contains proprietary functions and/or coding techniques, and the constituent files we use to construct your website are licensed to us, we require that all websites be hosted on servers over which we administrate. Downloading or extracting the code for anything other than backup purposes is prohibited. Code may be edited by you or a contracted programmer with our permission, but this will exclude future issues from the scope of the support services provided by your hosting package. Transferring the code to another programmer, designer, or agency is also prohibited. Additional terms and conditions are outlined in the Hosting Services Contract. 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 web design.
