4. Quality Assurance – Security Practices

 

4.1 Selection of Infrastructure

Philanthropy.gr ltd. is committed to choose the world’s leading companies in their sector, at its discretion, but also taking into account the judgment or assessments of international rating agencies. We work with all the world’s leading infrastructure providers (Cloud Computing, Servers, Dedicated Servers, VPS, CDN etc.) in order to ensure top quality service and choose among a wide range of leading companies and services.

 

4.2 Physical Access
The infrastructure (eg servers) used by Philanthropy.gr ltd. for the provision of the services are in data centers with controlled access and are operated by a specialized company. Access to the data centers is limited to qualified personnel of the company or its representatives, which should be accessible only for the purpose of providing the services. Typically, each data center is staffed 24/7/365 and monitored by video. Entrance to the data center is only allowed with access cards and/or biometric hand scanners or other authorized authentication and security methods. Each provider may have its own certified monitor and access control methodology.

 

4.3 Staff
Verification: Both the providers and Philanthropy.gr ltd. perform background checks on its employees, who have access to the accounts of customers.
Access: Both the providers and Philanthropy.gr ltd. restrict the use of passwords for customer accounts to officials and other staff who need passwords for the purpose of rendering the services. All staff using passwords will be required to log in using his own and exclusive user name and password.

 

4.4 Report and address the breach of security
Both the providers and Philanthropy.gr ltd. will immediately report any unauthorized access or release of your information as soon as it is realized by those responsible for security matters. Upon request, we will provide you with all the information and documents available to us related with any such case.

 

4.5 Backup Administrator

Each user must change his/her password and other information after the account has been delivered to the Customer.

 

5. Special Terms of Service for Web Hosting

 

5.1 The Customer must select a hosting package/plan. If the Customer does not choose a hosting package, Philanthropy.gr ltd. has the right to propose or choose one on behalf of the Customer. If the Customer does not express a preference it means that he/she accepts the selection that is implemented.

 

5.2 For Cloud Hosting, if an account exceeds the limits of the corresponding hosting package, the services will continue without interruption. However, the Customer must pay for the extra resources that have been consumed. If exceeding resources occurs more than twice consecutively, the Customer should choose another hosting package with higher limits.

 

5.3 For Shared Hosting, if an account exceeds the limits of the corresponding hosting package, the services will be interrupted. The Customer has the option to wait with the service interrupted until the end of the month, when resources are reset, or ask for a hosting package upgrade, and have the service restored immediately.

In any case, the Customer will be informed and the problem should be resolved as soon as possible after consultation.

 

5.6 Philanthropy.gr ltd. reserves the right to ask the Customer to instantly upgrade to a higher or different type of web hosting package, based on its judgment for resources abuse.

 

5.7 The purchase of a web hosting service, does not include e-mail accounts’ creation or other tasks. Either the Customer undertakes such work, or purchases the corresponding service.

 

5.8 The web hosting infrastructure is of highest quality and all precaution measures are taken. However, the security of a web page is a property of the server content, the software. From time to time, security updates are required by all kinds of software. Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible if the customer is not informed, does not apply or does not ask for security updates. Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible in case of violation, infection or destruction of the content on the server by actions of others. Maintaining a backup is an extra service and not provided unless requested and paid by the Customer.

 

5.9 For all web hosting services the Acceptable Use Policy found below in this text, also applies.

 

6. Special Terms of Service for Web Design

 

6.1 The financial offers are based on an estimate of working hours. After effort and extensive experience, we have managed to standardize the work, by estimating the actual working time for each service provided. However, if in some case, for whatever reason, some work takes much more or much less than the estimated time, the cost must be adapted to reality and the Customer shall be informed, before the job is finished. The Customer has the right to decide whether or not to accept the revised offer, and philanthropy.gr ltd. is not obliged to perform a task at the cost of an offer that has been revised. Also, if the Customer requests more or fewer hours of work during the development of a website, the offer shall be adjusted upwards or downwards. For tasks that require more than the estimated time, the Customer is always informed in advance.

 

6.2 For a more accurate estimate of the hours, the Customer describes/enumerates or delivers the material to be placed on the website (texts, images, other files), according to the Cooperation Protocol for Web Design.

 

6.3 The new or under construction websites remain locked until full payment.

 

6.4 The creation of a website is done directly on a server (web server) and it is delivered to the Customer installed there.

 

6.5 The web design/graphic design work refers to the visitor’s side, and not to the administrator’s interface of the website.

 

6.6 For the delivery/storage of a website on a DVD or any other storage medium, the Customer undertakes this work, or purchases a corresponding service.

 

6.7 The purchase of a web design service, does not include e-mail accounts’ creation or other tasks. Either the Customer undertakes such work, or purchases the corresponding service.

 

6.8 From time to time there are necessary updates and/or upgrades for software installed on websites, for security reasons. Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible for the application of these updates, unless there is a contract, or purchased service for the execution of this specific job. Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible if the customer is not informed, does not apply or does not ask for security updates. Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible in case of violation, infection or destruction of the content on the server by actions of others. Maintaining a backup is an extra service and not provided unless requested and paid by the Customer.

 

6.9 If a problem occurs or is found in the software of a website after it has been delivered to the Customer, Philanthropy.gr ltd. has no responsibility.

 

6.10 For new or under construction websites, work will begin as soon as all the Material has been delivered in full by the Customer, as described in the corresponding commercial proposal. If additional material is delivered, or if additional work is requested, the cost shall be adjusted for the extra work.

 

6.11 Some characteristics or special features on a website are based on default properties in the software used. The commercial proposals always refer to these default properties -e.g. appearance of a contact form. Additional features or design changes may require extra work and extra cost.

 

6.12 If a software created by third party used in a website, presents any problem or any imperfection, philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible. This applies even if philanthropy.gr ltd. has advised the usage or the purchase of this particular software.

 

6.13 The material delivered for the creation of a website must comply with certain specifications. Philanthropy.gr ltd. can inform the Customer about the specifications of the material, if the Customer requests this information, or if the material delivered by the Customer is not suitable. For example, the documents are delivered in one of the following file types: .doc files, docx, .txt, .odt, the images are delivered in one of the following file types: .jpg file, .png, .jpeg, and logos are delivered in one of the following file types: .ai, .eps, .svg.

 

6.14 The assessment of costs and/or the equivalent in working hours is the sole authority of philanthropy.gr ltd. Philanthropy.gr ltd. reserves the right, to assess the cost by price and not by the estimated working hours. For example, countless hours may have been invested in order to learn how to do a very quick modification in the code.

 

6.15 Each website, after fully paid and delivered, belongs to the Customer who has exclusive rights and sole responsibility for all content, but also for its software health. For GPL licensed software, end user’s rights and obligations are transferred by Philanthropy.gr ltd. to the Customer. Proprietary software created by Philanthropy.gr ltd. is offered only for end user usage by the customer, to the extend of the specific and single piece of intellectual work, for the specific application. The Customer does not obtain the right to copy, clone, distribute or resell the intellectual work performed on either GPL or proprietary software. The intellectual property rights on proprietary software remain a property of Philanthropy.gr ltd. A Customer who purchases a website development or website design service, has no right to copy the software to another website or to another domain. A Customer who purchases a website extension or any other piece of software, has no right to copy the software to another website or to another domain. Philanthropy.gr ltd. has the right to encode any part of proprietary software delivered to the customer, in order to protect intellectual rights.

 

6.16 The typical commercial proposals assume that Philanthropy.gr ltd. has the right to place at the bottom (footer) of each website, evidence that the website is designed and hosted by philanthropy.gr ltd. e.g. “Design & Hosting by philanthropy.gr” or “Powered by philanthropy.gr” or “Design & Hosting by w3specialists.com” or “Powered by w3specialists.com”, with a referral link to a Philanthropy.gr ltd.’s website. The Customer may request a financial offer that explicitly mentions the phrase “Without any indication or reference to Philanthropy.gr ltd.”, and then Philanthropy.gr ltd. will not have the right to place at the bottom (footer) of the website evidence that the website is designed and hosted or powered by Philanthropy.gr ltd. Discounts are not possible in such cases.

 

6.17 The Customer is obliged to remove or accept the removal of the indication that Philanthropy.gr ltd. has created or hosts a website, after Philanthropy.gr ltd. makes such a request, based on the judgment of Philanthropy.gr ltd. that the website is not properly maintained or has been deformed, or for any other reason Philanthropy.gr ltd. considers that this website discredits Philanthropy.gr ltd. with its content or aesthetics or some other feature.

 

6.18 The appearance and functionality of a website upon delivery to the customer, should be tested on a popular, contemporary and of latest version Operating System and Internet Browser. In case discrepancies appear, the final and applicable demonstration and testing will be performed with equipment specified by Philanthropy.gr ltd., which in its reasonable judgment is the suitable equipment to ensure maximum compatibility across devices.

 

6.19 The Customer is responsible to inspect and approve or reject a work or service at the time of Presentation and/or Payment/Delivery. After the Delivery of a work or service, all job requests have an extra cost. The inspection and approval are considered final after the Payment of this work or service.
