This package does not support changes in the template design, if the Client needs a different design/layout from the ones in Blue Marble Office’s list, the Client might need to change the package to Website development to cover all the possible customizations.

Colors and Fonts can be changed from the original template to adequate to the Client’s branding. However, it is the Client responsibility to communicate the fonts and color codes at the beginning of the project, failing in this communication will result in receiving the site with the default colors and fonts.

The Client will have the responsibility to send all the content, including graphics, correctly labeled in order to start with the project on time and reach deadlines. If the client fails to provide them, this will result in leaving the default content and/or Royalty free images or deleting the entire section without content.

Blue Marble Office will not be held accountable if delays are from the clients’ end; however, Blue Marble Office will work with you to ensure that deadlines are as achievable as possible.

Please note Blue Marble Office uses Royalty free images in all the predesigned templates; if in any circumstance the Client doesn’t have a picture to provide, then the Client is allowed to use the pictures without giving any credit. However, the picture might be used on other sites and it won’t be unique.

During a Website developing project, it is important that the Client communicates information to the Developer to achieve the required result.

The Developer endeavors to create pages that are accessible to search engines. However, the Developer gives no guarantee that the site will become listed with search engines.

Whilst every effort is made to make sure the created website is error-free, the Developer cannot guarantee that the display or functionality of the web design or the website will be uninterrupted or error-free. If, after handover, errors are found on the website the Developer has created and the standard development platform, domain name set-up and hosting set-up are the same as when work began, then the Developer can correct these errors for {{client.name}} free of charge for a period of 2 months, after acceptance of the work.
