Once a project is considered complete, customer has one business week to launch the website, or provide PGF with credentials necessary to bring the website live. Failure to launch a website within one week of completion of the project may delay go live date, and may incur additional expenses at PGF’s discretion. Once a project is complete, all changes requested will fall under PGF’s standard website maintenance schedule. Account access to website and written or verbal training, as agreed to in the initial proposal, will be granted only after final payment for the project is received by PGF.
