By retaining/hiring DHSolutions, you agree to the following terms:
Deposits
DHSolutions develops the scope of work and budget with you to ensure your needs are met. Once we have a plan we both agree to, the client must pay a deposit in order for work to begin. The amount of the deposit is based on the total budget amount. The depsoit is nonrefundable but will be applied toward work completed.
​
Once a deposit is paid in order to reserve our services, DHSolutions allots that time for your project and denies any subsequent requests that may infringe on your project's timeline.
Payment
The payment schedule is developed with the client. As a courtesy to our clients, payments for custom website design are made to DHSolutions in increments. Payment is due 15 days after receipt of invoice.
Clients have several options for payment:

Late Payments
I understand that payment deadlines may be hard to meet. I am always willing to work with my clients to find solutions that work for both parties. If it is the case that you will not be able to meet the payment due date, let me know at least 3 days before the due date so we can make alternate arrangements. If payment is not submitted by 5 pm on the due date without prior arrangements being made, a 5% late fee will be added to your account and again every 30 days until the account is paid in full.
​
After 30 days of nonpayment, DHSolutions may suspend your website. And, after 90 days of nonpayment, DHSolutions will take legal action.
Refunds & Cancellations
Details around changes to an agreement are specific to each client and will be detailed in our contract.
Once a payment or deposit is made, it is non-refundable. If a project is canceled or postponed, all monies paid are retained by DH Solutions and, if applicable, a fee for all work completed beyond what was already paid for shall be paid by the client.
​
Disputes & Chargebacks
We hope that should there be any dispute you first talk with DHSolutions to resolve it.
If we receive a chargeback or payment dispute from the company that processed your payment, a credit card company, or a bank, then your website service and/or project will be suspended immediately. A $50 chargeback fee (issued to recover fees passed on to us by the credit company), plus any outstanding balances accrued as a result of the chargeback(s) must be paid in full before service is restored, files delivered, or any further work is done.
Requesting a chargeback or opening a PayPal dispute for a valid charge from us is considered fraud and it is never an appropriate or legal means of obtaining a refund.
DHSolutions and all other subsidiaries of Deer Heart Solutions Ltd. Co. reserve the right to disable and/or terminate a user’s account if a user is found in violation of ethical web practices. Accounts terminated due to policy violations will not be refunded.
Ownership / Intellectual Property
Design and Development
All text and photos used as content in a commissioned website must be provided by the client unless the scope of work includes DHSolutions providing content development. Any photos provided by the client must have been created by or for the client or include a valid user license, The client must have ownership of the content or have written permission to use the content by the owner. It is up to the client to ensure the content does not infringe on any trademark, service mark, or copyright. DHSolutions cannot be responsible for intellectual property infringements on behalf of clients.
DHSolutions cannot be held responsible for content submitted by a client. Clients should not send irreplaceable photos or documents nor send content that must be returned.
​
DHSolutions will use content from another creator, in part or whole, only with a valid commercial use license. DHSolutions will keep this license on file. Should a client ever need documentation of the licensed use of any content, please contact us and we will provide a copy of the license.
.
The work produced by DHSolutions (design, website development, content, data, reports, etc) is the property of DHSolutions through the life of the agreement with a client. When an agreement is terminated or expires, and when the final payment is received, DHSolutions will transfer ownership of all work produced for a client. This does not include the worksheets, templates, and other tools created by DHSolutions or Deer Heart Consulting and which were used to facilitate the services rendered by DHSolutions to the client.
DHSolutions retains ownership of the website and all work produced until the client submits payment in full.
​
Our clients do not have the right to resell the work created by DHSolutions.

​
Our clients must acknowledge DHSolutions as the creator of the website, design, etc. Should a client make changes to work created by DHSolutions which may significantly alter its design or the intended use or the user experience, the client must obtain written notice from DHSolutions as to whether the site shall continue to be attributed to DHSolutions or not. This is true beyond the life of the agreement between DHSolutions and a client.
​
Website Domain
Website domain names are leased from domain name registration companies. If DHSolutions registers a domain name for a client, that registration will be made in the client’s name. Upon payment of any outstanding fees, the client has the right to use that domain name regardless of whether you choose to continue working with DHSolutions.
Domain name renewal and renewal fees are the responsibility of the client. If the client chooses to have DHSolutions renew the domain name on behalf of the client, an additional service fee will apply. Clients are advised to closely monitor the renewal date of a registered domain name and to verify that the renewal of said domain name has been completed. DHSolutions cannot be held responsible for expired domain names.
