Database Applications

Liquidpacket cannot take responsibility for any losses incurred by the use of any software created for the client. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure products are problem free and accurate, the ultimate responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that all software is functioning correctly before use. Where applications or sites are hosted on servers not operated by Liquidpacket, the client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed. Where large applications are to be developed, it is the client’s responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment. The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by Liquidpacket before being made generally available for use. Where "bugs", errors or other issues are found after the site is live, Liquidpacket will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined in the brief, such work may be billable.

Compatibility

Industry standard HTML, PHP, XML & FLASH will be utilized as appropriate and will allow cross platform viewing. It will also be assumed that prospective site visitors will have a 56.6 k modem as a minimum and this speed can serve as the client side guideline regarding the size and style of graphics on the site and its general design. Liquidpacket can offer no guarantees of correct function with all browser software.
