Client
Church Unlimited — nicoles@churchunlimited.com — legal entity name and address to be confirmed before signing
1. Project Overview
The Designer will design and develop a conversion-first Framer website for Church Unlimited in accordance with the approved proposal, this Agreement, and the phase-approved scope. The fixed fee covers up to twenty-eight (28) distinct static pages or reusable page templates. CMS-generated item URLs do not count as separate designs, but each distinct CMS detail template does. The exact page/template inventory, CMS collection plan, Client-provided content responsibilities, and integrations will be confirmed and locked at the audit and scope-approval phase. The project includes:
Conversion strategy, information architecture, and sitemap refinement
Responsive website design across the agreed page families
Framer development for desktop, tablet, and mobile
Up to eight (8) agreed CMS collection schemas and their approved list/detail templates, within the selected Framer plan limits
Reusable components, page templates, and publishing patterns
Configuration of up to four (4) agreed standard or no-code forms, analytics tags, or integrations; custom APIs and backend systems are excluded
SEO and accessibility foundations for the agreed pages
A collaborative review and written approval at the end of every project phase, with up to two focused refinement rounds as stated below
One content-team handover and training session, organised project transfer, and full Client administrative control after final payment
Quality assurance for the agreed scope before launch; legacy CMS migration, content population, cleanup, historical transfer, and manual data entry are not included
The website will be designed to help visitors find a campus, understand what Sunday feels like, discover relevant content, and take a clear next step, while giving the Church Unlimited team a maintainable publishing system.
2. Project Investment
Total Project Investment
USD $9,350
Deposit — 50% non-refundable, due before scheduling begins
USD $4,675
Final payment — before transfer or launch
USD $4,675
All amounts are in USD and exclude taxes, bank or processor charges, Framer plans, domains, third-party subscriptions, licences, add-ons, editor seats, usage, overages, and other pass-through costs. The Client will purchase, own, administer, renew, and pay for the production Framer account directly in its own name and with its own payment method. As of 19 August 2026, Framer’s United States pricing page lists the Pro site plan at approximately USD $30 per month when billed annually (approximately USD $360 per year), before tax; additional full editors are approximately USD $20 per month each and content editors approximately USD $10 per month each. These figures are estimates only. Framer may change its pricing, plan names, limits, features, or taxes, and any required higher tier, extra CMS capacity, add-on, domain, integration, or overage remains the Client’s responsibility. The Designer will not advance, absorb, reimburse, or guarantee any third-party charge. Invoices are due within seven calendar days. Overdue amounts may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is lower. The Designer may suspend work and withhold launch, transfer, source files, credentials, or deliverables while any amount is overdue. Payment is not contingent on campaign performance, donations, attendance, fundraising, internal approval, or third-party outcomes.
3. Project Timeline
Work will commence once:
This Agreement is signed by both parties
The non-refundable 50% deposit has cleared
Required content, brand assets, approvals, account access, and a primary contact have been supplied
Estimated timeline: 8–10 weeks from kickoff. Dates are estimates, not guarantees, and move automatically for delayed feedback, missing content, expanded scope, third-party dependencies, or events outside the Designer’s reasonable control. Client inactivity for 10 business days may pause the project and require rescheduling subject to availability.
4. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to:
Appoint one authorised decision-maker, participate collaboratively throughout the project, and provide one reconciled, consolidated set of feedback per review round
Provide complete and accurate copy, legal details, brand assets, media, approvals, required account access, and all existing or legacy CMS content and records in a clean, structured, final, usable format; the Client is responsible for migrating and populating all legacy content unless separately agreed through a paid written change order
Review every submitted phase and provide written approval or specific consolidated feedback within five business days unless otherwise agreed in writing
Create, own, secure, and pay for the final Framer account, domain, subscriptions, third-party services, privacy notices, consents, multi-factor authentication, recovery contacts, authorised users, and post-handover security
Client delays extend all affected dates day-for-day and may require a revised schedule. The Designer is not responsible for delays, defects, or claims caused by incomplete, inaccurate, late, or unauthorized Client materials or instructions.
5. Collaborative Phase Reviews & Approval
The project is collaborative, and a formal review will occur after each phase: (1) kickoff and discovery; (2) audit and scope definition; (3) structure, wireframes, and experience direction; (4) conversion-led homepage design and build; (5) remaining approved pages/templates, CMS structures, and standard integrations; (6) QA and launch readiness; and (7) launch and handover. The Designer will present the relevant work at each gate, and the Client will provide one consolidated written response within five business days. Up to two focused refinement rounds per phase are included. Written approval, an instruction to proceed, use of the deliverable, or failure to provide specific written objections by the deadline constitutes acceptance. Each acceptance authorises the next phase and permanently locks the decisions, requirements, content assumptions, and direction approved in that phase. Reopening an accepted phase, reversing an approved direction, or requesting additional rounds is a scope change and may increase fees and timing.
6. Scope Changes
Once the scope baseline or a project phase has been approved, the Client may not unilaterally change it during production. Any addition, substitution, reversal, or request outside Section 1, the approved proposal, or a phase approval requires a written change order covering added fees, payment requirements, dependencies, and schedule impact. Examples include:
Additional pages, page families, templates, or CMS collection structures beyond the agreed scope
Significant sitemap, strategy, or approved-design changes after a phase is accepted
Custom applications, backend development, databases, or bespoke integrations
Any legacy CMS migration, content population, historical content transfer, manual data entry, content cleanup, copywriting, or asset production
Ongoing campaign production, translation, localization, or paid media management
Legal, privacy, accessibility certification, or regulatory compliance services
Third-party subscriptions, licenses, stock assets, domains, hosting, or platform fees
The Designer has no obligation to begin or absorb a change until both parties approve a written change order, including by email, and any required advance payment has cleared. Approved change orders are binding. If the parties do not approve a requested change, the Designer will continue according to the last accepted scope and direction.
7. Ownership
Upon receipt of full payment:
After all invoices have cleared, the Client receives ownership of the final approved bespoke deliverables created specifically for Church Unlimited and full administrative control of the production Framer project and Client-owned connected accounts to the extent each platform permits. The Client may thereafter maintain, modify, publish, unpublish, transfer, or appoint another provider for the site. The Designer is not required to retain access or supervise post-handover changes. Drafts, rejected concepts, working files not listed as deliverables, and unpaid work are excluded
The Designer retains all rights in pre-existing tools, methods, templates, frameworks, know-how, reusable systems, and generalized improvements. The Client receives a perpetual license to use any such material only as embedded in the paid final deliverables
Third-party fonts, images, plugins, code, integrations, and platform features remain subject to their own licenses, terms, availability, and fees, which the Client must maintain where required
The Designer may identify Church Unlimited as a client and display non-confidential final work after public launch or 90 days after final delivery, whichever occurs first. Any longer embargo must be agreed in writing before signing. The Designer will not disclose confidential information or unpublished sensitive data.
8. Cancellation
The Client may terminate the project by written notice. If the project is cancelled, paused indefinitely, or abandoned after work has commenced:
The deposit and all amounts already paid are non-refundable and earned for reserving capacity and work performed
The Client must immediately pay for completed work, approved additional work, and non-cancellable commitments; all work remains the Designer’s property until cleared payment
The Designer may terminate for non-payment, unlawful or abusive conduct, or another material breach not cured within five business days after written notice. If the Designer terminates without Client breach and cannot complete the services, the Designer will refund only the unearned portion of fees after deducting completed work and committed costs.
9. Limitation of Liability
The Designer shall not be liable for:
Indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss, including lost profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, or anticipated savings
Hacking, malware, ransomware, phishing, credential theft, unauthorised access, denial-of-service attacks, data loss, business interruption, recovery costs, domain or DNS compromise, platform vulnerabilities, Client or staff actions, or other security incidents not directly caused by the Designer’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct as finally determined by a competent court
Platform, hosting, domain, email, payment processor, integration, or analytics outages, policy changes, account restrictions, or service discontinuation
Client edits, unauthorized access, inaccurate content, intellectual-property claims arising from Client materials, or the Client’s legal and regulatory compliance
Delays or failures caused by Client dependencies, third-party suppliers, or events outside the Designer’s reasonable control
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Designer’s total aggregate liability arising from or relating to this Agreement, the project, the services, or the deliverables—under contract, delict, negligence, statute, indemnity, strict liability, or any other theory—shall not exceed the fees actually paid to the Designer under this Agreement and shall in no event exceed USD $9,350. This cap and the exclusions above are an essential basis of the price and risk allocation. They do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. No claim may be brought more than twelve months after the event giving rise to it.
10. Confidentiality & Data
Each party will protect the other party’s non-public business, technical, financial, ministry, donor, member, and personal information using reasonable care and will use it only to perform this Agreement. This duty does not apply to information already lawfully known, independently developed, publicly available without breach, or required to be disclosed by law. These obligations survive termination for three years, and indefinitely for trade secrets and personal data.
The Client remains the data controller and is responsible for lawful notices, consent, permissions, minimisation, retention, and use of personal data collected through the website. The Designer will use commercially reasonable security practices while credentials or Client data are under the Designer’s control, but no website, account, network, platform, or transmission can be guaranteed to be hack-proof, uninterrupted, vulnerability-free, or immune from data loss. Unless added by signed change order, the Designer is not providing managed security, continuous monitoring, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, backup administration, incident response, disaster recovery, legal breach assessment, or cyber insurance. The Client must use strong unique passwords, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, secure devices, current recovery contacts, and timely removal of former users. The Client must not collect payment-card data, passwords, government identifiers, health or counselling records, children’s sensitive data, highly confidential prayer requests, or other specially protected information through the site unless an appropriate compliant provider and a separate written security/data-processing scope are in place. The Designer is not responsible for breaches, loss, misuse, or legal notice obligations caused by Client systems, credentials, staff or volunteers, third-party processors, integrations, platform vulnerabilities, or Client instructions.
11. Warranties, Client Materials & Indemnity
The Client warrants that it has authority to enter this Agreement and owns or has secured all rights, releases, permissions, and licenses needed for the copy, trademarks, photographs, video, music, testimonials, data, claims, and other materials it supplies. The Client is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and substantiation of its content, offers, statements, and ministry communications.
The Client will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Designer and the Designer’s contractors from third-party claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs arising from Client materials, Client instructions, Client modifications, the Client’s services or communications, or the Client’s breach of this Agreement, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted from the Designer’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Designer will perform the services with reasonable professional care. For fourteen (14) calendar days after launch or handover, whichever occurs first, the Designer will use reasonable efforts to correct reproducible defects in the Designer’s work that materially depart from the approved scope and are reported in writing with sufficient detail. This limited remedy excludes preferences, new requests, Client or third-party changes, platform changes, misuse, security events, and matters outside the approved scope. Except for that express commitment, the services and third-party systems are provided as available. The Designer does not guarantee donations, attendance, registrations, sales, conversions, rankings, traffic, uptime, profitability, reputation, regulatory approval, fundraising, business continuity, organisational success, or the survival of the Client’s business or ministry. The Client remains solely responsible for its operational, financial, legal, ministry, marketing, safeguarding, and business decisions.
12. Suspension, Force Majeure & Termination
The Designer may suspend work without liability when payment is overdue, required materials or access are missing, feedback is late, or continuing would create legal, security, ethical, or operational risk. Suspension shifts all dates and may require a reasonable restart or rescheduling fee. The Designer has no obligation to reserve the original production slot during a suspension.
Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disaster, illness, war, civil disorder, labour action, utility or internet failure, cyberattack, government action, or third-party platform disruption. The affected party will notify the other when practical. If the event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the affected services by written notice.
On termination or expiry, all accrued payment obligations become immediately due. Provisions concerning payment, confidentiality, ownership, licenses, indemnity, liability limits, dispute resolution, and any terms intended by their nature to continue will survive.
13. General Terms
This Agreement, the Church Unlimited proposal, approved change orders, and written approvals form the entire agreement. If they conflict, this Agreement controls, followed by the latest approved change order and then the proposal. Changes are valid only when recorded in writing and accepted by both parties, including by email.
The Designer is an independent contractor and may use qualified subcontractors while remaining responsible for the agreed services. The Client may not assign this Agreement without the Designer’s written consent. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. If any term is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining terms will continue.
Formal notices may be sent by email to the addresses stated in this Agreement and are deemed received on the next business day unless a delivery failure is reported. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute within ten business days. This Agreement is governed by the laws of South Africa, and the courts located in Cape Town have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory law that cannot be excluded.
Electronic signatures, checked acceptance boxes, email approvals, payment of the deposit, and counterparts are valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Each signer represents that they are authorized to bind the party named in this Agreement.
14. Acceptance
By signing below, paying the deposit, or instructing the Designer to begin work, the Client confirms authority to bind Church Unlimited and accepts this Agreement and the incorporated proposal.
