Darland Web Studios
POLICIES

Clear expectations. A stronger working relationship.

These business rules guide our work. Your written agreement defines project-specific scope, terms, and service coverage.

Hosting and ongoing service

Darland hosts client websites and systems on Cloudflare.

Clients pay a monthly or annual base service charge for normal support and ongoing service. Exact pricing and scope appear in their agreement.

Support priorities and response targets

PriorityStandard targetBusy-season target
P1 — Critical service interruptionWithin 10 hoursWithin 4 hours for P1 service calls
P2 — Noncritical service issueWithin 24 hoursWithin 24 hours

Examples of P1: website unavailable, checkout unavailable, or widespread ticket-scanning failure.

Examples of P2: a noncritical feature issue or a problem with a workable alternative.

Explain that response means acknowledging the request and beginning assessment; it does not guarantee resolution within that period.

Busy-season dates, covered support hours, the clock used for response targets, and official reporting channels must be specified in the client agreement. Do not invent these details or promise 24/7 coverage.

Updates and changes

Normal support includes troubleshooting, bug fixes, and routine maintenance within the agreed service scope.

Minor content updates follow the package allowance.

Major updates, redesigns, new modules, integrations, and substantial workflow changes have an additional fee. Clients receive and approve a quote before additional work starts.

Payments and ticket revenue

Each show owns its payment-processing account and receives its ticket revenue.

The show pays Stripe processing fees and handles refunds and disputes.

Darland’s setup and service charges are separate.

Project deposits, invoice deadlines, renewal terms, and service-suspension procedures are specified in the written agreement. Do not publish unapproved payment percentages or cancellation penalties.

Email and SMS usage

Darland pays for its email and SMS services and accounts for those costs in client pricing.

Included allowances and additional usage charges are defined in the quote.

SMS usage may be measured in billable segments.

Additional messaging allowances are separate from any included package allowance.

Ownership

Clients own their domains, content, and customer data.

Darland retains ownership of its application code.

Continued use of Darland’s code after service ends requires a separate written license.

Cancellation and exports

Clients receive a CSV export of their customer data when leaving.

The notice period, access end date, content return method, data retention, and any transition services are defined in the agreement.

Multi-location accounts

Owners can choose one combined dashboard or separate attraction dashboards.

Staff permissions and reports can be scoped to individual locations.

AOG relationship

Darland serves clients independently and works with AOG.

Software development and support are provided by Darland; attraction management services are separately scoped through AOG.
