Between “us” [RCVane] and “you” :
Summary
We want to communicate clearly, so we have this written up this “fancy” contract. For the most part, we’ve avoided complicated legal terms and fine print. We have no desire to trick you into signing an agreement you might later regret. We do want what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.
You are hiring RCVane, LLC as an independent contractor to perform a monthly or annual WordPress maintenance service.
Services not included in this contract will not be performed without another agreement between you and RCVane. If you have an emergency, you may email hey@rcvane.com or text Rachel 520-37-9748, using URGENT in the subject line. You will be charged $175/hr for any emergency services.
The WordPress maintenance service includes:
- Monthly security scans of all site files / plugins / themes
- Weekly security updates of all WordPress core releases, themes, and plugins (every Friday)
- Backups made before and after site updates for easy, near instant rollback should something conflict
- Weekly backups of the entire site, stored in a secure Dropbox account
- Security plugin installed and configured to secure the most common site loopholes from hackers
- In the rare case a hacker does get through: no charge for up to two hours of cleaning and re-securing the site, and a reduced hourly rate of $105/hr if the cleanup takes more than 2 hours
- Monthly check to find any broken links or 404 errors (people being directed to an error page).
- Random testing of your site’s contact forms.
This service does not include:
- Updates to content, such as blog posts or page text / images
- Additional design or functionality to your site
- Troubleshooting email issues
- These services are still available – just not as a part of this package. Let us know if you have other changes to your website. :)
What we’re all agreeing to here
As our client, you have the power, and ability, to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. You agree to provide us with everything that we need to complete the project including WordPress login information, likely website hosting login information, updated passwords if yours are changes, and anything else needed to perform your upgrades and backups monthly. Deadlines work two ways, so we both will be bound by any dates we set together and encourage you to act swiftly on anything we need so we can get started more quickly. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule you choose.
