Introduction

This Fair Use Policy outlines the terms under which you may use Konaga services.

1. Website and Application Lease Agreement

We aim to ensure your website or application runs smoothly, but we can’t guarantee it will be error-free. We aren’t responsible for any losses due to software issues or changes made by you or a third party. We also aren't liable for missed deadlines or any related costs or earnings loss.

2. Website Updates and Amendments

Once your website is live, you can request unlimited minor updates like text changes, image additions, or adjustments to contact forms. However, layout changes, graphic design, or adding extra pages may incur additional fees. All updates depend on receiving content from you. We do provide copywriting and stock images, these services can be requested for a fee.

3. Payment Terms

Payments are made monthly via bank transfer, starting one month after the contract is signed. If a payment is missed, services may be suspended until full payment is made.

4. Contract Terms

The design fee, monthly cost, and contract duration are specified in your signed agreement. If you cancel early, you'll need to pay the remaining balance for the full contract term. After the contract ends, it automatically renews monthly unless you give one month’s notice to terminate.

5. Hosting

Hosting is only available for websites we maintain, starting at £80/month. Email accounts and Google Analytics setup are available separately. We are not responsible for search engine indexing issues.

6. Ownership - Rental

The website or database remains our property during the contract. After the contract term, you can choose to continue hosting for an additional fee. If you cancel, only your data can be exported, and the website code for an additional fee.

7. Domain Name Registration

Domain names are not included in rental packages. You are responsible for obtaining and managing them, including DNS settings. Assistance is available for an additional fee.

8. Browser Compatibility

We strive to support major browsers but can’t guarantee full compatibility. Internet Explorer versions older than 11 are no longer supported, and we advise using updated browsers for security reasons.

9. Materials Provided by You

You are responsible for ensuring any materials you provide don’t violate copyright. We may refuse to use content that includes adult themes, illegal downloads, violence, or discriminatory content.

10. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

Basic SEO tasks like title tags and sitemaps are included with website launch. Advanced SEO services like content writing and keyword research are available for a fee. We can’t guarantee any specific search engine ranking.

11. Annual Web Hosting

Our hosting services are only available for websites we’ve developed. While we aim to keep services up and running, there may be times when the server goes down for updates or other reasons. We aren’t liable for any downtime or loss of data, and no compensation will be provided. We also don’t take responsibility for losses caused by natural disasters or other major events like civil unrest, floods, or war.

12. Personal Information

Your account can only be used for lawful purposes. Any copyright infringement (such as selling counterfeit goods or unauthorised copying of music, books, or videos) is forbidden. If we suspect infringement, we can suspend or terminate your account. If there’s a legal issue with your content, we may also suspend your account. If you need us to write content for you, you must check and verify all references and sources.

In some cases, we may need you to install remote support software. We may suspend services if necessary to protect ourselves or others, if you fail to pay, or if required by law. Maintenance may also require suspension, but we’ll notify you in advance.
