The website owner is legally responsible for ensuring that this does not happen. If you wish to use any images from the site for other purposes please contact us for clarification.

Existing domain names

Where a domain name has already been purchased by an individual or agent, other than Fast Ranking Ltd, and in cases where a client’s new website is to be hosted on a different server, it is crucial that we are given full access to the aforementioned domain name control panel. This enables Fast Ranking Ltd  to direct your domain name at the appropriate new server, to which it will be uploaded, or provide you with the ability to login to your control panel yourself and to make the appropriate domain name server changes that will be required. If your website is unable to be uploaded because of a failure to provide this information to us, Fast Ranking Ltd  will not be held liable and, in such cases, are deemed to have carried out our contractual agreement with you upon which payment is then required.

Existing web hosting

If a client already has a website host and requires their new design to remain with them, they must provide Fast Ranking Ltd with full access to the FTP server so we can upload the website upon completion. If the client fails to provide us with the access to the FTP server, which results in us being unable to upload the website, Fast Ranking Ltd will be deemed to have carried out all contractual agreements with the client and payment will be required.

All our quotes are based on an estimate of costs agreed at the project scope phase and created from the information provided to Fast Ranking Ltd . Any additional work, above that specified in the initial quote, will require our hourly rate of £80 to be payable and an estimate will be provided in writing prior to additional work being undertaken.
