Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for up to three successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless Simple Source Solutions or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Term”.

WE AGREE: We agree to provide up to one (1) hour of unscheduled security updates and/or patches to your third party Content Management System (CMS), extensions, and/or plugins per month in conjunction with the paid “Total Website Maintenance Plan” as updates and/or patches for said CMS, extensions, and/or plugins are made readily available by the third party developer. Simple Source Solutions does not guarantee the ability to apply updates and/or patches provided by third party developers. Your maintenance plan does not major updates to your website software that require migration of database information and/or rewriting of code to deliver said updates/patches to your website. All update and/or patches applied to your website are provided “as-is” without warranty.

WE AGREE: We agree to provide website maintenance services at the hourly rate associated with your paid “Website Maintenance Plan”. The hourly rate service provided for website maintenance includes changes to website text, images, and photos as requested by Customer through agreed digital means. Website maintenance services rates do not apply to custom development and/or design work. All website maintenance and upgrades will be performed on a regular basis as deemed necessary by Simple Source Solutions for providing a safe and efficient product to the Customer during the service term.

YOU AGREE: Customer agrees to hold harmless Simple Source Solutions if access to your website is compromised or the site is hacked. In the event of such an occurrence, it is very important that you notify us immediately for your own protection, so that we can suspend your service to prevent further damage. We will work with you in a full investigation, but we are not responsible or liable for any damage, loss of revenue, or theft as a result of such an occurrence.
