Agreement Terms:

If Client exceeds the allotted hours for their maintenance plan, or submits a change request for programming new features/ functionality which would exceed the allotted monthly support hours, B2 will notify client in advance of any additional work being completed, and provide a price quote for the requested work.

During the duration of this agreement, Client agrees that B2 will be the sole provider of maintenance services for the website, and no other developer or web design agency will have back-end or “root level” access to or rights to change the website code unless agreed to by B2. This does not apply to website content updates made directly by Client or their representatives. If a party other than B2 makes changes to the website resulting in any errors, downtime, or other website performance issues, Client may be charged at an hourly maintenance rate to make necessary repairs.

Requests on weekends and holidays will be answered the next business day.

When Client puts forth an informational request and/or separate project-specific proposal, B2 will provide requested information within five business days.
