Hi there all,
I’ve a small query: I am the owner of my web site, but this website have been developed by a web-desing company who provide web-hosting.
The question is, how could i rely on the corporation after the site design has become completed and I will be getting orders
Are usually owner of online hosting company which in turn hosts my site ( which can be the same company which actuyally developed it ) only shuts down my own business and tells me: OK, Matteo, unless you give me US$10000 I’ll not open back your site
Do you find it technicall possible or perhaps am I small bit paranoid
Following your site is finished, how can MY PARTNER AND I legally claim any kind of right over my personal site
Matteo
If someone makes a website for you, you must automatically own coursesmart and all copyrights when it’s complete. In case you went into an agreement where you will not own all copyrights, you still have screwed. What are they going to do with the site anyway
You must also have all belonging to the files that the site uses stored from a safe location (on the CD or by yourself hard drive). Then if they do close straight down, you just get hosting elsewhere and upload the many files.
It’s not ethical to point out, " If you don’t give me US$10000 I will not open back your webblog. " I would never talk with a company nevertheless that. The reality is, it’s your website! It’s up in order to you whether that stays open or perhaps closes down. If they stop hosting, that is definitely fine. You just find another host. They shouldn’t say, " You’ll be able to only use coursesmart if you particular with us. "
Make sure you’ve got a contract stating it truly is your intellectual home, and that you’ve got a copy of them.
Dear Wired,
thanks for your important info.
I might need some advice to learn more about the legal tasks of web design; are you aware about any book or website which I could read so that they can know what MY SPOUSE AND I should about protection under the law on intellectual property or home
How could i be sure how the site will at the end be 100% excavation
Thanks,
Matteo
Eddy,
thanks for your answer!!
The purpose of this site would be to sell Japanese pottery throughout Italy.
Since it will take time and effort, effort and money to promote it, I wouldn’t normally like that, once ( if ) the website becomes successful, the organization which developed it which is hosting it could claim everything to me.
Can they just " cover " the site and ask me money to receive it back
I realize these may be understood as childish questions to you!!
And, what do an individual men with " In case you went into an agreement where you will not own all copyrights, you still have screwed "
The images in the products on the site are all ingested from other internet sites with whom We have a verbal arrangement with.
If they asked, I possibly could withdraw the images in the site immediately.
Regarding the other images ( logo, etc. ) I have no idea where they come from since it is the American indian developer who designed the website
Could that be an issue
That is definetely a thing to do!!
Thanks for your suggestion
I realize they should not state that, but how will you trust a company which you don’t know where it can be based ( simply in India )
Or am I a bit more paranoid
What I tend not to understand is, merely already open coursesmart with them then change web hoster, how could i legally prove for you to another web hoster and to the ICANN we am the legal owner belonging to the site
Yes, I suppose they will could, but that’s the location where the paranoia comes with.
I mean when you’re to a company to buy a site designed, you must sign a contract saying that you, the buyer, have full rights on the layout of coursesmart when it’s full. This means this markup and CSS some people used, any images the company may have incorporated in to the layout (I do not mean images for your content that a person gathered). They basically ought not have rights in order to anything critical towards life of the website.
You may have to take these folks on good belief, I suppose.
Yeah, you’re a very little paranoid, but that isn’t necessarily a poor thing.
You don’t genuinely have to legally prove that you’re the owner of the site while you change hosts. But even though you did, it would all be in the contract. You did sign legal contract, I hope.
