If your chosen ShopMonster plan includes support ticketing, such support requests must be directed through the proper channels to be received and responded to in a reasonable amount of time. To request support please use the appropriate support email address.
Support requests will typically take the form of ‘small tasks’ (e.g. minor / quick updates) that require not more than 30 minutes to complete.
Allow up to 48 hours response time on non-emergency requests. All requests are subject to approval by assigned agent or ShopMonster management. ShopMonster support will work on and resolve each single support request before moving on to the next submitted support request. Emergency or rush requests may be subject to a rush surcharge of £100/hour.
Requests should fall within the following categories.
If you’re unsure about the whether or not a request meets these criteria, submit it via email and we will either accept or deny the request based on approval.
Examples of requests not meeting approval for monthly development time:
NOTE: In the event that updates to WordPress core, WordPress theme(s) or WordPress plugins (including WooCommerce and WooCommerce extensions) are prevented for any reason (including by the use of an out-of-date or unsupported 3rd party theme, plugin or extension), ShopMonster will inform the client and advise the best course of action to resolve. ShopMonster shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations should the client fail to acknowledge and/or agree to implement the resolution(s) as advised.
Cancellation can occur at anytime after your first 2 months (60 days) of service. You’re never required to stay with us – in fact, we’d prefer you have the option to leave if you’re unhappy with our service and give us feedback on how we can serve you better.
ShopMonster may terminate or suspend any and all Services and/or your ShopMonster account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms. Upon termination of your account, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. If you wish to terminate your ShopMonster account, you must contact us with your termination request. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
You can contact us via email to issue a termination request.
ShopMonster reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the terms at any time. If the alterations constitute a material change to the terms, ShopMonster will notify you by posting an announcement on the site. What constitutes a material change will be determined at ShopMonster’s sole discretion. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Using any service or viewing any content following notification of a material change to the terms shall constitute your acceptance of the Terms as modified.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind ShopMonster in any respect whatsoever. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
ShopMonster shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond ShopMonster’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference).
If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
ShopMonster may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations without consent. The Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The United Kingdom.
Both parties agree that the Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of the Terms, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
