Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary.

Where applications or sites are developed on servers not recommended by iCreationsLab, the Client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed. Where large applications are to be developed, it is the client’s responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment.
The Client is expected to fully test any application or programming relating to a site developed by iCreationsLab before being made generally available for use. Where “bugs”, errors or other issues are found after the site is live, iCreationsLab will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief.

Hosting – Service Level Agreement – Hardware
For hardware issues that require a replacement, the hardware replacement is guaranteed to be complete within the next business day. The countdown begins once the customer email to iCreationsLab support/account manager and iCreationsLab determines the root of the problem to be malfunction hardware. The time it takes to troubleshoot and identify the issue/solution is outside of the Hardware SLA. The next business day Hardware SLA also does not include the time required to install/setup/configure the operating system or applications. Hardware SLA is not inclusive of the scheduled and upgrade maintenances that iCreationsLab carries out. Hardware SLA is on a per-incident, and per-hardware component basis.
Website Optimization
Due to external factors, such as changes to the way search engines rank websites etc, iCreationsLab cannot offer any guarantees regarding the position we will achieve for websites. The process of optimizing websites itself will bring in more traffic and hits and Client will see visits increase to the site naturally. iCreationsLab will not be liable for any change in rankings, or drop off in the position of your website due to any changes in the algorithms of the search engines or the factors that they use to rank websites.
iCreationsLab use ‘white hat techniques’ when optimizing websites and always aim to achieve a top ten ranking for your website within six months of undertaking the optimization process. Due to the work involved, payment is generally required in advance and Client is not able to request for refund of any monies in relation to this type of work.
iCreationsLab reserve the right to refuse to handle any work or material which may be deemed offensive, illegal or in any way controversial.
Payment of Accounts
A deposit is required from any Client before any work is carried out. Deposit will be forfeited in the event of termination by the Client at any point of the project. It is the iCreationsLab policy that any outstanding accounts for work carried out by iCreationsLab or its affiliates are required to be paid in full, no later than 14 days from the date of the invoice unless by prior arrangement with iCreationsLab.
In event of termination of the work by Client, iCreationsLab shall have the right to charge on a pro-rated basis for work completed up to the date.
Once a deposit is paid and work is completed, Client is obliged to pay the balance of payment in full. iCreationsLab will contact clients via email and telephone to remind of such payments if they are not received when due.
If accounts are not settled or iCreationsLab have not been contacted regarding the delay, access to the related website may be denied and web pages may be removed. iCreationsLab will then pass such cases to the Small Claims Court to pursue payment. Non-payment can result in County Court Judgment (CCJ) being added to the Client’s credit rating.
Following consistent non-payment of an invoice, our Solicitors will contact the client in question, with a view to taking the matter further and if need be to, seek payment through legal procedures and if necessary, court summons.
