Use of Hosting Services
Excessive CPU, RAM, Bandwidth or Disk Space Usage has the ability to compromise our shared hosting environment. This is the result of using the system in a manner that encumbers disk space, processors or other system resources beyond the allowances of your specific plan type and to the degree that your usage compromises the hosting accounts of our other customers.
Excessive resource usage – cgi scripts or other executable code that consumes an undue amount of CPU time [defined dynamically by vendor at will] will be reprioritized if possible, or we will ask you to discontinue its use either permanently or the script is altered by yourself or third party to operate in a less resource-hungry manner. Failure to cease operator of the offending executable will be considered as server abuse. Secondary vendor reserves the right to terminate any process which it deems to be using excessive resource usage.
Background processes
Background process [that is, application or utilities that are started from within an interactive shell login, and set to run permanently in the background on a server] are not to be initiated without prior arrangement with use. We reserve the right to examine all code before it is run on the server. Running of background processes without prior arrangement in and confirmation in writing from Secondary vendor is server abuse.
Compiling
User rights to access compiler software is available upon request and arrangement. Once again, we choose to examine any code that is compiled and executed from our hardware. If you need access to the CP compiler, please contact us describing your need for access. Compiling without prior arrangement and written confirmation is server abuse.

Large mailing lists should be sent via third-party dedicated mailing list platform and not through the servers of Secondary vendor unless specific permission has been explicitly granted beforehand. Should a large mailing disrupt normal services or create unacceptable server loads, the account associated with the mailing risks termination.

All website design will be developed in a sandbox (non-public) location. We retain ownership of the location code including HTML until transferred to a public site location. In which case ownership may be transferred to client by request of client.
Website Development Payment Obligations:
A down payment is required to begin development of your website. This is usually 50% of the upfront design fee, unless an alternative contract or proposal specifies a different amount. The outstanding balance on your website is due after the design, navigation and pages have been approved and built. Final payment is due regardless of whether all content for the pages has been sent by the client and is due when final review of the site is sent to client prior to going live. This provision is in place to encourage the client to get content submitted promptly so that their site can go live. It also ensures that we get paid for performing their duty under the proposal, despite tardy content from the client.
Website Development Cancellation:
If site design and development work has already begun (such as creating a design concept), then the down payment is non-refundable. Wes may elect at its sole discretion to offer a partial refund depending upon the circumstances.
Stock Photography Payment Obligations:
Stock photography includes most photos and/or images not provided by the client. Stock photography purchased on behalf of client for use in website development is billable. This amount is separate from the amount quoted for website design and development. Some pictures are more expensive than others, in which case we will solicit client approval and communicate the cost to purchase photos before purchasing.
2 Components needed for WebSite Design:
Domain name registration/renewal: This cost recurs annually. Domain name registration gives you exclusive rights to a certain name, such as www.mygroup.org, so that you can use it for your web-based purposes. We encourage all of our clients to purchase their domain with https://domains.google.com. We do not provide support on domain or hosting services for a website design client. If we are doing your hosting than please refer to the terms and conditions listed under that service.
Hosting:
This cost recurs annually. Hosting places the website on a server connected to the web, which allows you to post a website for viewing through a browser. You are NOT required to host through us, but we strongly PREFER that you do. Hosting comes with domain-based emails, bandwidth, storage space, database and security tools, and other features. Projects that involve other services such as church management or mobile app development must be hosted with us to ensure the programs that we write will work. If you want to host your site on another server this must be disclosed before we begin programming.
Sites NOT Hosted by us:
Should client decide to host their site on another server, We cannot guarantee that all elements of the site will work. We will make a reasonable effort to research the problem on the foreign platform to let the client know what we think the problem is. However, we cannot take responsibility for problems caused by or on another hosting server, including but not limited to email, FTP, SSL, database, server software, and site security issues. If Shortgrass believes it will take a significant amount of time to fix the problem, we will advise the client before proceeding. In most cases, fixing problems on a foreign hosting server is billable.
Website Maintenance:
There are no required maintenance fees other than domain registration and hosting. Most people do some work on their site every year, for which we offer several plans. We can make certain parts of the site updatable by you by implementing a custom Content Management System. For work we do on the site after going live, we charge on an hourly basis ($65/hour). If you expect that maintenance will be a regular occurrence, you can buy a prepaid maintenance contract that affords a discounted hourly rate. If need be, we can customize a maintenance plan for your needs, but no plan is required.
Website Maintenance Payment Obligations:
For any website changes we will propose an estimate of labor hours and if there is no maintenance agreement with us – prepayment of that estimate is required. In the event the hours are not used we will refund the difference in increments of 15 minutes. (hour labor = 60 min. divided by 15min = .25 or ¼ of an hour) If a maintenance agreement is chosen, any hours above the allotted number of hours given to the prepaid agreement will be billed hourly minus a 35% discount. If payment is not received within 30 days, the maintenance changes may be taken down until payment is received. After 60 days, there may also be a reposting fee added to the outstanding maintenance invoice balance.
Our Web Site Development Process
Questionnaire and Template – On the onset of the request for your website, we will provide a questionnaire for you to provide as much information as possible. Based on your sample sites which you reference for us we will investigate the wireframe of the website and provide you with 3 template options for you to choose one.
Template or Kit – Once a template or kit is chosen by the client this template or kit will be purchased by us on behalf of the client/customer. We as the vendor with access to these templates are licensed for usage. We will design the site with the template in mind however client/customer will not retain ownership of template. Client/Customer will retain ownership of web site design after the template has been customized for them.
Homepage Design – Once the site design is approved by the client, usually via email consent, the design is considered ready for implementation. Should the client wish to make changes to a design they have approved, those changes are billable at our standard hourly rate.
Navigation – Once site outline/map is approved by the client, usually via email consent, the site navigation is considered ready for implementation. Combined with the approved graphic design, this becomes the site structure. Once we build this structure per client approval, any subsequent changes are billable at our standard hourly rate.
Content – Provision of content is customer’s responsibility, unless specifically negotiated ahead of time as part of the project proposal.
Text content – Copy for all website pages and links needs to be delivered digitally and should be carefully proof-read by the client. We are not responsible for proof reading. Two rounds of revisions will be provided free of charge. Subsequent revisions will be billable at our regular hourly rate.
Copy development – Should client wish us to develop content for the site, website copy is billable at our regular hourly rate. Development of copy is accomplished via Our Web Development interviewing the client about the topic areas to be addressed on their web pages. We then compose appropriate copy, submits to the client for review, edit, and approval. Approved copy is then posted to the web pages.
Graphical content – Images outside of the website design must be provided in digital form or in a form that can be easily scanned, unless otherwise provided for in customer’s contract. Subsequent revisions will be billable at our regular hourly rate.
Training – For websites with administrative control panels or content management systems, a one-hour Basic Training (Editor Access) will be provided. Additional training and/or Advanced Training can be scheduled at an additional fee.
Technical Support – We offer local and long-distance phone support to our clients who have a maintenance agreement. For clients that do not have a maintenance agreement any and all support once site is live is billable at standard hourly rate.
Training and Tutorials
Because customer service is in integral part of our business strategy, our projects include a one-time complimentary training session in order for our clients to better make use of their new web technology. Additional training hours can be purchased at our standard hourly rate or applied against your existing maintenance contract.
Websites with Proprietary Source Code
In all cases, we will install software for the client’s use that has been built by a third party. Examples include WordPress software, Elementor Pro editor software, photo galleries, and other plugins as needed. In these instances, clients will be subject to the terms and conditions of the third party who owns the software and may use the software as a licensee only. No ownership rights of any kind are transferred to the client for these. For any plugins which are used by us to develop the client’s site and a cost is incurred, this cost will be passed on to the client/customer based on the terms of that plugin.
Access to or transfer of proprietary source code could result in a security risk to us and its clients who are running similar pieces of code. In order to provide custom software development services, clients give us access to private and/or sensitive information, trade secrets, proprietary pricing, business and organizational methods. If clients believed that we may be sharing this information with outside developers, they could lose faith that we are protecting their proprietary information. Therefore, neither access nor transfer of any code built for any purpose that is unique and not commonly and publicly available can be granted.
Website components that ARE transferable to another host include html code, graphics, logos, pictures (only those which are either owned by the client or purchased stock photos), navigation, text, and the data residing within a database (but not the code). Hourly fees will apply for any special work that needs to be done to transfer those parts of website that do not violate the other paragraphs in this section.
iPowered Church Management system (CMS) is provided to client/customer for the use of church member management; donation management; documentation management; sermon management; and any other addition which we will add via updates.
The church management system is hosted on a internet server where the church site is present and will be made accessible via a subdomain. It is the responsibility of the client/customer to decide and acquire the subdomain to be used as well as hosting server. If Nueva Vida Media is providing hosting services for the client/customer’s website or CMS the subdomain will be based on the parent domain. E.g. Primary domain is www.ChristRedeemedChurch.org – a subdomain can be CMS.ChristRedeemedChurch.org; essentially the subdomain replaces the www.
CMS is user based, control and management of users are the responsibility of the client/customer. While deploying we will create and use a seperate adminstrator login. We will provide a administrator user id to the client once CMS is deployed, it is the responsibility of the client/customer to make available and manage users into the system based on the roles for that user. Nueva Vida Media is indemnified from any data breach, or data corruption once delivery is accepted by client.
We may or may not provide support to client./customer for the CMS. This maintenance does not nullify indemnification of Nueva Vida Media due to data breach or corruption.
If client/customer makes full licensed purchase we will deploy and implement the solution in the location the client/customer desires along with any add-ons for them. Once delivery is accepted by method of signature of acceptance not to pass 15 days from notification of completion the CMS will be owned entirely by the client/customer.
If client/customer requests maintenance on the CMS this will be done via a website maintenance agreement. If there is no agreement between us and client then the client will pay $65/hour rate for any maintenance to be performed. We do not warrant any data that may have been corrupted or breached.
Donation module requires that client/customer open an account with stripe.com for credit card, debit card processing. Client/Customer must provide us during deployment phase access to the stripe account to setup API access and webhooks which will be used by the online module.
