All of our web sites are designed in compliance with standards and specifications issued/recommended by the World wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards are set to ensure interoperability across the world wide web and are a key element in ensuring accessibility for all users, including disabled bodies. SWD are very reluctant to design web sites that will not conform to the standards and specifications as set out by the world wide web consortium. There may however be special circumstances (considered at our discretion) where we will agree to a design that does not conform to the standards and specifications of the world wide web consortium.
Web Site Content IPR (Intellectual Property Rights)
- You agree that you own the intellectual property rights of any content provided by yourselves to SWD, or that the owner has given you permission to use the content and will allow SWD to use it on your behalf.
Once paid for in full, web sites and domains become the property of the client for the duration of the contract period. However, you agree that only one copy of a web site can be made available on the World Wide Web and that any stock photography provided by SWD remains our property and shall not be used intentionally in any other design or reused outside of the web site provided by SWD. If provided, any databases along with any CGI, PERL, PYTHON, JAVASCRIPT and PHP scripts/programs will also remain the property of SWD unless otherwise agreed.

Hosting Packages
We have contracts with some of the UK's leading server/hosting providers. By selecting only the most reputable providers, SWD can maintain maximum uptime and continued reliable service to our clients. However, no guarantee of service can be made by SWD on behalf of its hosts. SWD will remain your point of contact for any issues you have with the service and will do everything in our power to resolve problems as quickly and as professionally as is possible.
Domain Name Registration
SWD offer a domain registration service subject to the Nominets Terms and Conditions. The domain name will be registered in your name and/or business name through a reputable third party registration company as selected by us. If you opt for SWD to carry out the registration, administration rights of the domain name should remain with us for maintainence purposes whilst full legal ownership remains with you the owner. You should receive a confirmation of registration from Nominet, the UK Internet names organization, within 6 months of registration. A reminder will be sent to you by SWD via e-mail approximately 6 weeks before the domain name is due to expire. For this reason, it is your responsibility to keep us up to date with your contact details (including email addresses) to ensure that you receive these notifications. You accept that SWD will not be held responsible for a missed registration upgrade of any domain name. It is your responsibility to send written confirmation of renewal to SWD along with payment for registration at least 2 weeks before the domain name expires. Payment and time options will be sent to you with the domain expiry reminder.
Warning: for .com/.net/.org/.info/.biz domains, if you do not renew the domain during the 40 days after its expiry date, the domain will enter a period of Redemption. This starts at 45 days after expiry and ends 75 days after expiry. During this time the domain may be renewed, however there will be a considerably higher charge payable to the registration company. At the end of redemption, and following a further five days, if the domain has still not been renewed, it will become publicly available for registration. For all other suffixes including ".co.uk", If you do not renew your domain name before the expiry date, it will expire and become available instantly for other members of the public to register.
