EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR THE WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT, WHERE SUCH AGREEMENT IS IN FAVOUR OF THE PROVIDER OF SERVICES (THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR)

This is a very robust agreement for use by smmes (or any other entity for that matter), that PROVIDE website development services. It is an agreement that is fair and equitable to both parties, but is also one that is structured to protect the rights of the independent contractor, i.e. the entity providing the website development services.

Note that this agreement can only be used where the receiver of services does not constitute a “consumer” in terms of the Consumer Protection Act. i.e the receiver MUST BE a juristic entity with a turnover or asset value equal to, or more than R2m at the time of the transaction.

Note: we will shortly make available agreements that regulate transactions that fall under the Consumer Protection Act. This agreement is for transactions that DO NOT fall under the Consumer Protection Act. Always make certain that the receiver of services under this agreement is neither a juristic person with assets or a turnover UNDER R2m, nor a natural person.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are the party that REQUIRES website development services to be provided to it, then you must purchase the agreement titled “Website Development Services Agreement-Receiver“, as that is more protective of your rights

HOWEVER: If you are the party PROVIDING the website development services, then this is the correct agreement for you to use, as it is more protective of your rights
