Terms of Service
Our company provides services on the basis of work orders. Your work order will define the payment terms and deliverables of each project. By paying the initial deposit or full payment of any invoice/work order you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. We recommend you read this, as it is important information about how we manage projects – it isn’t just ‘legal fine print’. We’ve done our best to keep it easily readable and understandable.
Legal Summary
In a mutual agreement between Managed WP C/O Pirate & Fox, LLC 100 Route 115, Suite 870, Rincon, PR 00677, and You, “The Client” as per the accepted proposal, invoice, or work order:
You are hiring us, Pirate and Fox LLC to provide you the services described at the estimated total price as outlined on the Accepted Proposal or Invoice in which each will be considered a “Work Order” based under these terms.
Changes and Revisions
We know from plenty of experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your first idea about how something should look, or how it might work. We don’t want to limit either your options or your opportunities to change your mind.
The estimated prices in the addendums to the agreement are just that, estimates, and they are based on the amount of work we calculate we’ll need to accomplish everything that you have told us you want to achieve. If you do want to change your mind and wish to make additions or revisions, such as add extra pages or templates or even add new functionality, additional testing, or any additional service or feature not included in the original agreement; that won’t be a problem. However; you will be charged accordingly and these additional costs will need to be agreed to before the extra work commences.
On top of this, in large technical projects, it is possible that there are significant tasks that are not immediately apparent that will be required to achieve the final goal. You recognize that we are partnering in this, and we will be bound to notify you if we find anything in the progress of our work that significantly changes the scope of the project. This additional work will affect deadlines and they will be moved accordingly. We’ll be upfront about all of this if and when it happens to make sure we are all on the same page before proceeding.
You must put all requests in writing so we can keep track of changes and agree to add them to this entire agreement in the form of an addendum. If the scope of the project changes significantly throughout the process, we reserve the right to deem the current project canceled. At this point, the Client agrees to compensate Pirate and Fox LLC. in full for all the work we have done up to the cancellation date. Shall you request us to complete the unfinished work, this shall be done in the form of a new project based on new requirements. This request will require a new estimate and agreement.
In short, all changes to the Master Service Agreement must be made through a written addendum to the Agreement in form of Exhibits. Each Addendum will take effect when signed by both parties. Any service or work not stated originally in the agreement and/or in Exhibit A shall be estimated and agreed in writing and then added to this agreement as an addendum.
Acts of God
Any delays in or failures of performance by a party under this Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if and to the extent caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the party affected, including but not limited to: acts of God; changes in regulations or laws of any government; strikes or other concerted acts of workers; fires; floods; explosions; riots; wars; rebellions; and sabotage; and any time for performance hereunder shall be extended by the actual time of delay caused by such occurrence.
Termination
Either party may terminate any of the Services specified in this Agreement with a thirty (30) day written notice. Upon termination of the service, the Client shall pay to Pirate and Fox LLC all remainder of fees and charges incurred for work done through the date of termination of the Services. If a contract is terminated and we are in the middle of building a feature you are deciding not to use, even though the feature is unusable, the work must still be paid for.
If either party breaches in any material respect any of its material obligations under this Agreement, in addition to any other right or remedy, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by that party of written notice of the breach. But in any case, Pirate and Fox LLC shall be paid for work performed up to the cancellation date.
Time is of Essence
Time is of the essence of this Agreement. All requested materials, information, accesses or payments due, must be provided to Pirate and Fox LLC in order to comply with the set deadline. If you are unable to provide us with feedback or necessary materials within 14 days of our request for such materials, we reserve the right to deem the current project canceled. At this point, the Client agrees to compensate Pirate and Fox LLC in full for all the work we have done up to the cancellation date. Shall you request us to complete the unfinished work and re-open the project, this shall be done in the form of a new project based on new requirements and may include additional fees for the time taken to archive and re-open the project with our team. This request will require a new estimate and agreement.

Project Completion

Once the final invoice is paid we will hand over the keys and as an act of utmost good faith, we will
Each milestone of the project, as well as the completion of the entire project, may require client feedback. If we have done everything possible that doesn’t require client input to complete any milestone of the project, and we can’t get a response from the client within 14 days to obtain any input we need to complete that milestone, it will be considered complete and the closing charge for the milestone will be invoiced. If we obtain the information we need to complete the milestone within an additional 30 days, we will incorporate it into our work at no additional charge. After that time there may be an additional charge to finalize the milestone.
Severability
