Final payment is due prior to publication and/or delivery of the Web Design Project. All amounts must be in U.S. Dollars.

5. Completion Date.
5.1. Extreme and the Client must work together to complete the Web Design Project in a timely manner. We agree to work expeditiously to complete the Web Design Project by the date listed in Attachment A. Any delay in the completion of the project due to actions or negligence of Client, unusual transportation delays, unforeseen illness, or external forces beyond the control of the designer, shall entitle the designer to extend the completion/delivery date, upon notifying the Client, by the time equivalent to the period of such delay.

5.2. If the Client does not supply Extreme with complete text and graphics content for this Web Design Project within 45 days of the effective date this agreement, the entire deposit amount of the agreement shall be retained by Extreme as liquidated damages and the contract shall become null and void, at Extreme’s option, unless the Web Design Project is cancelled in writing by the Client prior to 45 days of the effective date of the agreement.

6. Cancellation.
If the Client cancels the work and applies for a refund in writing within 30 days of canceling, to Extreme, work completed shall be billed at the hourly rate stated in Attachment A, and deducted from the initial payment, the balance of which shall be returned to the Client. If, at the time of the request for refund, work has been completed beyond the amount covered by the initial payment, the Client shall be liable to pay for all work completed at the hourly rate stated above. No portion of this initial payment will be refunded unless written application is made within 30 days of signing this contract.

7. Acceptance.
7.1. Extreme shall make available complete versions of the Web Design Project on a password protected server (the “Shadow Site”) for Customer’s review and acceptance. Customer shall have 3 days to review and evaluate the Web Design Project (the “Acceptance Period”) to assess whether it meets the Specifications listed in Attachment B.

7.2. The Client shall not unreasonably withhold acceptance of, or payment for, the project. If, during the Acceptance Period, the Client observes any nonconformance with the design plan, the designer must be promptly notified, allowing for necessary corrections. Rejection of the completed project will result in forfeiture of deposit and the possible billing for all additional labor or expenses to date. All photos, graphics, source code, work-up files, and computer programs that are not supplied by the Client must then be returned to Extreme. Any usage by the Client of those elements will result in appropriate legal action. Client shall bear all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney's fees in any action brought to recover payment under this contract or in which Extreme may become a party by reason of this contract.

8. Project Delivery.
The final Web Design Project will be published to the Client's hosting service upon receipt of final payment or, upon the Client’s request, delivered via diskette upon the receipt of full payment.

Hosting services require a separate contract with the hosting service of the Client's choice. The Client agrees to select a hosting service which allows Extreme full access to the Client's account via FTP. The Client will be solely responsible for any and all hosting service charges.

9. Publishing.
If the hosting service has FrontPage®98 extensions installed and the extensions are not configured correctly to support publishing/FrontPage®98 functionality, Extreme will not be responsible for problems arising from improperly installed FrontPage®98 Extensions.
