2. By accepting a quotation, you agree to Peak Ranker LLC’s policies and terms. This acceptance may be verbal, by email, through payment of a deposit, or by signing the quotation.

2. Specific tasks or nuances must be clearly defined in advance and included in the proposal. Peak Ranker LLC is not responsible for discrepancies due to incomplete or unclear information.

3. Work Hours and Changes

1. Each project is allocated a set number of hours. Minor changes within this timeframe are acceptable. Significant changes will be reviewed and may incur extra fees.

2. We aim to deliver projects within the agreed timeframe. If features or functions are reworked or altered, reasonable delays are accepted.

3. Client delays may require rescheduling and could increase costs.

4. Bugs, Refunds, and Rework

1. We do not provide refunds except at our sole discretion or as required by law.

2. Bugs (programming errors) reported during or immediately after development will be fixed without additional charges.

2. Peak Ranker LLC is not responsible for issues caused by client-requested changes after project approval.

6. Content and Deliverables

1. Clients must provide all content and materials within the first two weeks of the project. Delays in content delivery may delay the project and could add extra costs.

2. Our websites are tested on current PC versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Please notify us in advance if you need testing on additional browsers or devices.

3. We test responsive compatibility on iPhones and iPads. If you’d like testing on other devices, please inform us beforehand.

7. Hosting and Servers

1. If you choose not to host with Peak Ranker LLC, extra time required due to third-party hosting or server issues will be charged separately.

2. Hosting fees are not included unless specified. We can provide a hosting quote if needed. If you choose your own host, please coordinate with us to meet technical requirements.

8. Project Holds and Stalling

1. Projects that stall for over two months will incur a $99/week admin fee and may require updated quotes. Placing a project on hold requires prior notice.

2. There is no extra charge to put a project on hold, but we must update the account accordingly.

2. Changes in third-party provider rules or limitations may affect services.

11. Delays and Dependencies
