Web design and development projects require extensive resources, consumes our time, and incurs internal expenses. Therefore, once a payment or deposit is made, it is non-refundable. Payments for custom design projects and custom development projects are made to us in increments as a courtesy to the client as well as discounted for those who agree to pay in full, but if a project gets cancelled, delayed or postponed by the client, then the amount paid will be retained by WebApple and if applicable, an additional cost will be charged to the client for all work completed beyond what was already paid for shall be paid by the client.
Website Maintenance:
Our annual support plans are dependent on the scope and size of a website and are quoted on an annual basis. Especially for websites that we did not initially build, website maintenance and upkeep require extensive upfront resources and time to learn the setup, framework, and specifics of a new client’s website, thus we require annual maintenance to be paid in full yearly fee by our clients.

All hosting payments whether present or past months are non-refundable. Web hosting accounts are set up from the date of your order and are allotted a limited amount of server resources depending on the plan you purchased.
Unless otherwise provided, you agree that until and unless you notify WebApple of your desire to cancel the web hosting services, you will be billed on an automatically recurring basis to prevent any disruption to your Services, using your credit card or other billing information on file with us.
