BJ & SP Ryan Pty Ltd (hereon referred to as "RyServ") has been commissioned by the client to create a commercial web site. All web sites designed by Ryserv are protected in Australia by the Copyright Act, 1968. 1. RyServ, as the original author of the web site, owns the copyright to web site as a whole. This includes the design, layout, HTML coding, ASP coding and any images created by RyServ. If the client wants to include images in the web site (which are copyright to the client) then the client is welcome to do so. If this is the case, then a separate copyright statement will be displayed protecting the client's copyright for the images being used in the web site. RyServ will not claim to have any copyright to images that were not produced by RyServ. Similarly, RyServ do not claim copyright for any text supplied by the client. In the case where the client asks for a custom-made design that is the original idea of the client then the statement "Design by client's name" will appear at the bottom of the appropriate pages of the site. In all other cases the statement will read "Created / Designed / Hosted by RyServ. Copyright RyServ, (Year created)." RyServ reserves the right to add links to sites created by RyServ on the RyServ client web page of the RyServ web site.

2. RyServ does not take any responsibility for any content that the client wishes to display on his/her web site. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that no copyright is being breached for any images/text supplied by the client. This means the client must check the source and copyright of any material that he/she wishes to use and then obtain permission from the source to use that material before asking RyServ to put it on the client web site. RyServ is not liable for such breaches of copyright.

3. RyServ is not responsible for maintaining the functioning of any part of a client's interactive pages such as ASP forms, checkout baskets, database connectivity etc. once it has been created and approved by the client. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that interactive parts of the client's web site are working properly. This is to be done by the client by regular testing.
4. Reproduction (in any format) of any web site created by RyServ is prohibited. This includes downloading pages from the Internet.
5. A client may be given FTP access to the web site files for the specific purpose of self maintenance. If this is the case then the client must only make minor changes to the text and/or images owned by the client. Changes to the design or layout are not permitted without the permission of RyServ.
6. For security reasons, the client must not give the FTP password access information to anyone. The client must make sure that the FTP information is kept private and in a safe and secure place.
7. RyServ are able to provide a maintenance service to the client whereby minor changes will be carried out for a fee.
8. If the client asks another company to do maintenance on the client's site, then the client must first ask for permission from RyServ.

RyServ will acknowledge the other company's work with a small hyperlink embedded in a sentence at the bottom of the homepage only. No copyright statement will be shown for the other company because minor changes to the client's site constitutes maintenance and not original work.
