1. Authorization
The named client is engaging Write From Karen, as an independent contractor for the specific web design project of developing and/or improving a website, hereinafter referred to as "web design project" to be installed on the client's account on an Internet Service Provider (ISP), hereinafter refer to as "Hosting Service". The client hereby authorizes Write From Karen to access this account, and authorizes the Hosting Service to provide Write From Karen with "full access" to the client's account, and any other programs needed for this web design project that are included as part of the client's service agreement/level. The client also authorizes Write From Karen to submit the completed web design project to major Web Search Engines.

2. Development
Designing a web site to fully work in multiple browsers (and browser versions) can require considerable, extra effort. It could also involve creating multiple versions of code/pages. Write From Karen will ensure that the website I design for you will work in the latest browser versions including Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla FireFox, Opera, and Safari. While Write From Karen will make every effort, always, to design a fully functional website, I can not guarantee it will work in every browser under all conditions.

3. Assignment of web design project
Write From Karen reserves the right to assign subcontractors to this web design project to insure that the terms of this agreement are met as well as on time completion.

4. Copyright and Trademarks
The client unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to Write From Karen for inclusion in the web design project are owned by the client, or that the client has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect and defend Write From Karen and its subcontractors from any claim or suit arising from the use of such material.

5. Website Maintenance
Write From Karen offers site maintenance in bulk packages: monthly, bi-annually, or annually. Prices will be discussed and agreed upon at time of maintenance contract and payment will be expected at agreed upon date.

6. Completion Date
Write From Karen and the client must work together to complete the web design project in a timely manner. We agree to work expeditiously to complete the web design project no later than 45 days after the client has submitted all necessary materials. If the client does not supply Write From Karen with complete text and graphic content for this web design project within 30 days of the date this agreement was signed, the entire amount of the agreement becomes due and payable. If desired information is not forthcoming after 45 days, then a 15% continuation fee applies or the client decides to cancel the project.

7. Project Delivery
The website design project will be published to the client's hosting service or delivered via CD upon receipt of full payment. The client understands that Write From Karen does not provide any hosting services in connection with this web design project. Hosting services require a separate contract with a chosen provider. The client agrees to select a hosting service which allows Write From Karen full access to the client's account via FTP. The client will be solely responsible for all hosting service charges.

8. Electronic Commerce Laws
The client agrees that the client is solely responsible for complying with such laws, taxes and tariffs, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend Write From Karen and its subcontractors from any claim, suit, penalty, tax or tariff arising from the client's exercise of Internet electronic commerce.
