WARRANTY
Qclick Web Solutions offer a warranty over the programs used to create your website including Joomla, Cubecart and all customisations or new software code developed as part of your website project. After your website or customisations are sent live to the internet, if the website program or any of the customisations fail to operate in accordance with the documented specifications of the website functionality and extra customisations provided to you by Qclick, then we will fix these at no charge.
If we find that the program or customisation has been damaged or incorrectly used by you or anyone editing your website, then any fixes to this functionality will be charged at the current hourly rate (Qclick will inform you of this rate).
Note: interpretation of failure to meet the documented specifications will be on the basis of the narrowest interpretation of functional descriptions in any Qclick proposal or documentation provided to you. If you are anxious therefore about ensuring that your customisations cover the required areas of functionality, we recommend you review carefully any proposal documentation - and seek clarification from Qclick prior to the project commencing to ensure a clear understanding is shared between your and our team. For large projects (above $30,000 in size), a specification document will typically be provided outlining such customisations in detail.
Warranty periods do not apply to sites that have not been originally developed by qclick.
