Severance Terms
It is important to know that Sitepact JA is not a highly profitable company. We do not extend our services to entrepreneurs purely for profit, we are also on a philanthropic endeavor to help Jamaican businesses and entrepreneurs do well. We can only continue, if we are able to engage in fair trade. At the end of 2023 we have helped almost 100 local businesses enter the online space, this is something we are proud of, and want to keep doing, therefore it is important we protect our most valuable resources.
In order to avoid abuse of our services and time, we have had to implement strict severance terms for all our clients.
Why do we do this?
In the initial stages, we had other development companies USE us to build websites for their clients for free then break contract with us after a month or two. These unfair actions hurt our business and our vision to provide affordable support and development services to Jamaican entrepreneurs and businesses.
Hence, we have implemented a few simple terms to protect our business and make the service accessible to many more SMEs and filter the bad faith actors.
- A client can break contract with us for ANY reason at any time without explanation. However, at this time, said clients will need to retain their own resources for hosting and maintenance and manage those expenses – we would have been providing hosting and maintenance up to this point. We will provide all website files and assets in a restorable backup file that your new developer can restore on your new server.
- IF a client breaks contract with us before a 6 months period, a fee of $120,000 will be required.
- IF a client breaks contract with us anytime after 6 months but less than 1 year a $80,000 fee will be required.
- IF a client decides to break contract after a year but less than 2 years a $60,000 fee will be required.
- IF a client wants to break contract anytime after 2 years, there are NO requirements.
