Maintenance Blocks - General Terms

Update 26th October 2019

Tiong Creative is no longer offering new WordPress maintenance. This document is for legacy plans only.

Existing customers on legacy Maintenance Blocks may continue to refer to the information below for reference.

Introduction

This supplementary document outlines the general terms for maintenance blocks, as defined in the “WordPress Websites Maintenance and Training” document. The Service Provider is “Tiong Creative” and the Client is the business or individual who has purchased a current maintenance block.

To assist with all support enquiries, it is recommended that the Client use the applicable support channel, provide detailed descriptions of the issue/request including screenshots, and disclose any important information. The Client’s representatives or contacts will conduct business in a courteous and professional manner with representatives from the Service Provider. The Client should ensure all invoices are paid for according to payment terms of the Service Provider.

The Service Provider may use various support methods including screensharing, secure email transfer, encrypted business communications, and other remote / online software to facilitate support requests. The service provider will attempt to resolve issues in a timely manner, and will conduct business in a courteous and professional manner with the Client's representatives and contacts. Notification of scheduled maintenance windows will be provided by email to the Client, prior to commencement of maintenance.

The Service Provider cannot guarantee that your WordPress website’s functionality will be constantly available, or always available, or always be error-free and so will not be liable to the Client or any third party for any damages, lost profits, unforeseen expenses or other additional, incidental, consequential damages arising out of the operation of, or inability to operate or access the Client’s website service.
