By working with Grafxion, one of our Terms and Conditions is that Client has no access to make changes to the settings, configurations and/or framework as that can lead to the website breaking (i.e. crashing, instability and/or inaccessibility). This procedure is in place, to protect both Grafxion and our clients and to avoid costly future expenses to fix and/or correct issues caused by the Client’s own action. We only provide limited access to the Client which allows the Client to make minor changes to their site. A Maintenance plan needs to be purchased when the site has been published. If the Client chooses to terminate Grafxion’s services, then the Client needs to follow the procedures as stated in our Terms and Conditions, this also includes the use of other web designers/developers as this goes against Grafxion’s policy. If the Client does not want to follow Grafxion’s policies and procedures, then the Client agrees to pay Grafxion a transfer fee for full ownership to the Client’s site and Grafxion will not be held responsible for any future technical issues that occur to the Client’s site, once the fee has been paid.
