1. Eligibility
This maintenance service is exclusively available for websites developed or upgraded by Kintiq. If you have existing source code or a website built by another provider, you must contact Kintiq at [email protected] prior to subscribing to verify eligibility and discuss integration requirements.
2. Service Coverage
Most subscription plans cover maintenance and monitoring services for one (1) website/domain only. The Enterprise Pro plan covers up to four (4) sites, apps, or systems under a single subscription. Multiple websites beyond your plan's coverage require separate subscriptions. This service includes bug fixes, updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and technical support. New feature development and significant design changes are not included under this maintenance subscription and require separate agreements.
3. Request Limits
Monthly request limits are calculated based on incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests to your website. If your website exceeds the monthly request limit specified in your plan:
- Your website will remain online, but maintenance and support services will be suspended
- You will be notified when you reach 80% of your limit and given the option to upgrade
- Services will fully resume upon upgrade or at the start of your next billing cycle
4. Billing & Cancellation
All plans are billed monthly in advance. You may cancel at any time, and your service will continue until the end of your current billing period. No refunds for partial months. Upon cancellation, please send a confirmation email to [email protected] with your cancellation details and any final instructions.
If Kintiq decides to cancel your service or discontinue the maintenance plan, we will provide you with at least 30 days advance written notice to allow you adequate time to make alternative arrangements.
5. Service Level Agreement
We strive for 99.9% uptime for all maintained websites. Response times for support requests vary by plan tier (e.g., "2h response" means our team will acknowledge your request and begin working on it within 2 hours, not that the issue will be resolved within 2 hours). The actual time to resolve an issue depends on its complexity and scope. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated at least 48 hours in advance. Where your plan includes performance reports, these are provided on request only; Kintiq is not obliged to issue reports for any period in which you have not requested one, and unrequested reports do not accrue or carry over.
6. Data & Backups
While we maintain regular backups according to your plan, you are responsible for maintaining your own backup copies of critical data. We are not liable for data loss due to circumstances beyond our control. All data, source code, and intellectual property remain the exclusive property of the client at all times.
7. Acceptable Use
Your website must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We reserve the right to suspend service for websites engaged in illegal activities, malware distribution, or excessive resource consumption that impacts other customers.
8. Scope of Security Services
Security services under this subscription are limited to the following:
- Applying security patches and updates released by the operating system, server software, frameworks, libraries, and dependencies used by your website;
- Managing and renewing SSL/TLS certificates;
- Applying server configuration changes in line with standard hardening practices, where included in your plan;
- Implementing specific, clearly documented security remediation instructions provided to Kintiq in writing by you or by a security professional you have engaged.
The following are expressly not included under this subscription: security audits, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning or assessment, security code review, threat monitoring or intrusion detection, malware detection, removal or forensic investigation, incident response, and compliance assessment or certification of any kind (including but not limited to PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR).
Kintiq does not hold itself out as a security assessment provider and makes no representation that it will identify, discover, or anticipate security vulnerabilities in your website, server, or infrastructure. Where you engage a third party to conduct a security audit, you remain solely responsible for commissioning that audit, for evaluating and approving its recommendations, and for the accuracy and suitability of those recommendations. Kintiq's role is limited to implementing the approved instructions you provide, using commercially reasonable skill and care. Remediation work that exceeds the routine scope of your plan may be quoted as a separate engagement.
Kintiq does not warrant that your website or server will be free from vulnerabilities, breaches, unauthorised access, malware, or data loss, and accepts no liability arising from any such event, except to the extent directly caused by Kintiq's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
9. Server Access & Security
Kintiq requires administrative access to your server infrastructure to provide maintenance services. If you plan to cancel or have canceled your subscription, you must immediately change all server credentials, passwords, SSH keys, and API access tokens. Kintiq will not be responsible for any security issues, breaches, or unauthorized access once the subscription becomes inactive. It is the client's responsibility to revoke all Kintiq access permissions promptly upon cancellation.
10. Formal Service Agreement
If you require a separate signed service agreement, Kintiq can provide a formal contract incorporating all the terms and conditions outlined above. Please contact [email protected] to request a customized service agreement for your subscription.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kintiq's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this subscription, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, shall not exceed the total subscription fees actually paid by you to Kintiq in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Kintiq shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, however arising.
