Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the https://www.valiermedia.com website (the “Service”) operated by Valier Media (“us”, “we”, or “our”).
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use the Service.
By accessing or using the Service you (the Client) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you do not have permission to access the Service.
Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set on a monthly basis.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Valier Media cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Valier Media customer support team.
A valid credit card is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Valier Media with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Valier Media to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Valier Media will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Subscription Hour Balances (Hourly Subscriptions Only)
We no longer offer hourly subscriptions or subscription hour balances.
Fee Changes
Valier Media, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
Valier Media will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Refunds for flat rate subscriptions are available. Refunds for Hourly Subscriptions are not available. The maximum available refund is the total cost of the most recent subscription renewal. Refunds for flat rate subscriptions must be requested within 5 business days of the start of the billing cycle.
Advertised PageSpeed Scores
Some of our services advertise a PageSpeed score which we aim to achieve for every subscribing customer. These advertised scores are goals, not guarantees. There are simply too many variables that can slow a site down for us to be able to promise a specific score. We believe however, that we can achieve these goals in most instances, provided that our optimization advice is followed. Valier will not in any case, be liable for subpar site performance, but we are willing to offer a full refund (see Refunds section for more details) for the current billing cycle if you are not happy with the results.
Please note that while we will aim to achieve the advertised scores, events such as changes to the Google Lighthouse testing platform, WordPress updates, plugin installations or updates, theme selection or updates, server updates, and miscellaneous network issues may prevent us from being able to achieve the advertised scores. If this is the case, we will provide an explanation as to what is slowing the site down, and will collaborate with you to improve your website performance. This may involve removing desired plugins and third party scripts, requesting server changes, writing optimization code, and other major requests if we feel that those changes are necessary to achieve a desired score.
Management Plan “Ramp Up” period
Once you subscribe to a WordPress management plan, we will begin configuring your website to meet your plan’s specifications, but this process is not immediate or automatic. This process involves a combination of manual and automated processes that vary from website to website, and will occur over the course of the first two subscription months, which is referred to as the “Ramp Up” period. During this time, we will be adding new plugins, updating themes, adding custom code, configuring automated tests (if included in your plan), and performing other tasks that are designed to improve your overall website performance, security, and usability. By signing up for one of our WordPress management plans, you acknowledge this Ramp Up period, and understand that your website will not immediately meet the specifications outlined in the subscribed plan.
Accounts
When you create an account with us, you guarantee that you are above the age of 18, and that the information you provide us is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account on the Service.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, including but not limited to the restriction of access to your computer and/or account. You agree to accept responsibility for any and all activities or actions that occur under your account and/or password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service.
