On the occasion where the client is going to supply his website content then we strongly advice that client should edit the text content of the website to check for errors and grammatical errors before forwarding them to us.

5. Failure to provide required website contents on time:

Jowael Technologies would like to deliver all our works at the scheduled time but this can only be possible if the client adheres to supplying his or her content in time. Therefore Jowael Technologies is not liable to whatsoever damages caused due to a delay in delivering the website at expected time.

If your project involves Search Engine Optimization we need the text content for your site in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.

If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do so within one week of project commencement, we reserve the right to close the project and the initial payment is non-refundable. Simply put, all the above conditions stated do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages. You  can contact us if you need clarification on this.

Client agrees that Jowael Technologies cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.

Jowael Technologies cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and handed over to the client or old/outdated versions of browsers which does not support for instance HTML 5.

Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account.
