WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE & SECURITY
When a WordPress theme, plugin or the WordPress core is updated and it causes a website to malfunction or to be incorrectly formatted in some way, this is referred to hereafter as a “breaking update”.
While every precaution will be taken to ensure that no “breaking update” is implemented on a live website, in the unlikely event that a client discovers a problem on their site, and it is proven that the problem was as a result of an update that was performed as part of the “Services”, the Company and it’s officers cannot be held liable for any loss or damage caused of any kind whatsoever. The Company will however commit to fixing the problem within a maximum of 2 working days free of charge. A working day constitutes any day except Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
In the event that “breaking updates” are found when testing updates on the test/sandbox environment, the client will be presented with the following options if the problem is caused by a WordPress theme or plugin:
- Wait until the next month’s updates to see if the theme/plugin developer releases a fix for the problem.
- Commission the Company to contact the theme/plugin developer to notify them of the problem and ask them to investigate it on the sandbox/test version of the website at the Company’s standard hourly rate, whatever that is at the time of commissioning.
- Disable the plugin that is causing the problem (only an option if the plugin is not critical to the functioning of the website and we offer this as a recommendation. This also only applies to certain plugins and not themes. Themes cannot be disabled because this would cause the website to look completely different and could potentially cause major formatting problems).
If the problem is caused by an update to the WordPress core we will have no choice but to leave the live site on the version of WordPress that is not “broken” and wait for an update to be released. The fixed update will then be implemented during the first monthly maintenance cycle that occurs after the WordPress core update is released by Automattic.
We cannot be held liable for any loss or damage of any kind whatsoever caused, in the unlikely event that a website we maintain is hacked, and restoration of a hacked website will be charged at an hourly rate of R900.00/hour. However, if the “Comprehensive” maintenance subscription is purchased and your website is hacked, the website will be restored free of charge.

PRIVACY NOTICE
Last updated on 3 January 2017
The Company understands your privacy is important. As described in this Privacy Policy, the Company website and free & paid services (the “Services”) have been designed to protect information about you from unauthorised disclosure to others. This Privacy Policy explains how the Company collects, uses and, in certain circumstances, shares your information when you use the Services.
By using the Services, you explicitly consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. AUTOMATIC INFORMATION
When you use the Services, statistics about your website visitors are automatically collected. The Company monitors statistics such as how many people visit your website, the visitor’s IP address, pages visited, entry and exit points, from which domains visitors come and browser types. This data is used to provide the Services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to users and visitors of the Services.
2. COOKIES
A “cookie” is a piece of data the Services transfer to your computer that identifies you as a unique user. Cookies enable the Services to recognise your browser and to provide features such as customisation. The Services use cookies to improve the quality of the service and make the service easier to use for users. In order to provide you a seamless experience during a particular session, the Services store information about that session in cookies.
You can edit your browser options to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. If you do not accept cookies, however, some features of the Services may not function properly.
3. SHARING INFORMATION
Some of your information is visible to other users. The Services may use third parties to offer other or enhanced Services. Except as described in this privacy policy, you will be notified when your information may be shared with third parties and be able to opt-out of sharing your information.
You understand and agree that the Company may access, preserve, and disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect the Company rights and property, or that of the Company affiliates or the public.
In the event that the Services are acquired by or merged with a third party entity, the Company reserves the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information collected from the Services as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, the Company may not be able to control how your information is treated, transferred, or used.
4. THIRD-PARTY COMPANIES
The Company may allow other companies to serve advertisements within the Services. These third-party companies use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear within the Services. They may automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies such as cookies or JavaScript to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalise the advertising content you see.
The Services do not provide any personally identifiable information to these advertising companies without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in and/or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks the Services to show an advertisement to a certain audience, for example, travelers based in South Africa, and you respond to that advertisement, the Company may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Services; such as the number of times you viewed an ad but not any personally identifiable information, to determine which ads to deliver to you.
This privacy policy does not apply to, and the Company cannot control the activities of, such advertisers or web sites.
The Services may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that the Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. The Company encourages users to be aware when they leave the Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information to learn more about their information practices.
Information collected through the Services may be stored and processed in any country in which the Company maintains facilities. Consequently, the Company has the right to transfer information outside of your country. Therefore, you acknowledge and consent to the sharing of your information with the Company and Company-related entities worldwide.
5. SECURITY
The Services use industry standard security measures to protect your information so that it is not made available to unauthorised parties. The Company cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to the Services and you do so at your own risk.
Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time so please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of the Service’s physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
The Company may use outside companies to display ads on the Services and these ads may contain cookies collected by the ad companies. The Company does not have access to this information. Also, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be totally secure. Therefore, although the Company takes measures, such as those described in this Privacy Policy, to protect your information, the Company cannot warrant the security of information collected. Accordingly, you agree that you are providing such information at your own risk.
6. INTERNATIONAL USERS
The systems of the Services are hosted in South Africa and the United States. If you are a user accessing the Services from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from South African or United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Services, which is governed by South African, this Privacy Notice, and these Terms of Service, you are transferring your information to the South Africa and you consent to that transfer.
