15. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
15.1) The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR imposes new obligations and responsibilities on controllers and processors of data. As a NinjaWolf Studios customer/client, you are the controller of your customers’/visitors’ data. This means that you collect your customers’ data and choose how it is handled. Additionally, though it is a European regulation, the GDPR might apply to your business if you make goods and services available in Europe, even if you or your business are not located in Europe. As a service provider, NinjaWolf Studios follows your instructions on how to handle that data.
15.2) While NinjaWolf Studios does what it can to set you up for success, there are also steps you will need to take on your own, and ultimately, compliance with the GDPR is the responsibility of each individual NinjaWolf Studios customer/client/user.

16. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance
16.1) The Department of Justice’s revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) were published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised, enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, “2010 Standards.” On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and alterations under Titles II and III. March 15, 2012 is also the compliance date for using the 2010 Standards for program accessibility and barrier removal.

17.3) NinjaWolf Studios does not support any version of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is an outdated and insecure website browser that is no longer supported by Microsoft, nor NinjaWolf Studios. While Internet Explorer 11 may be available on some newer versions of Windows machines, it has reached its end-of-life and has been replaced by the Microsoft Edge browser. Microsoft Edge has been the default browser on Windows 10 machines since 2015. Numerous company websites have stopped supporting IE11, including Google and Microsoft themselves. Due to the lack of support for IE11 — along with its limited market share and increased development time for backward functionality — NinjaWolf Studios does not support IE11 during development. It may be the case that your website will still perform and function well in IE11, however NinjaWolf Studios does not explicitly test in IE11.
18. Mutual Respect Between NinjaWolf Studios and Client
18.1) NinjaWolf Studios is committed to ensuring respectful behavior between you/your organization and NinjaWolf Studios team members. NinjaWolf Studios is also requiring the same respect and professionalism in return. A respectful, polite, and professional relationship is the expected baseline for all communications. If either party determines a lack of respect or professionalism; this can result in termination of the project and support of your websites.
18.2) Examples of disrespect causing termination:
18.2.1) Use of threatening or abusive language, profanity or language that is intended to be, or is perceived by others to be, demeaning, berating, rude, threatening, intimidating, hostile or offensive.

18.2.3) Making threats of violence, retribution, litigation, or financial harm; shouting or engaging in other speech, conduct or mannerisms that are reasonably perceived by others to represent intimidation or harassment.

19.2) Transfer of Rights to Created Works – It is the policy of NinjaWolf Studios not to transfer any rights to our work if there is an outstanding balance. After the project is completed and full payment has been made according to the Payment Schedule, ownership of project materials will pass from Contractor to Client.
19.3) Content Collection and Delay of Project – During development, “client delay of project” occurs when the project is on hold for a period of longer than 30 days due to client delay (feedback, interaction, input, material or purchases/third party expenses to be paid by client). In this event, on the day of the “client delay of project” state, any work that has been completed under the constraints of this agreement by Contractor can be billed to the client at contractor’s discretion.
19.4) Termination Clause – Client or Contractor can extract themselves from this contractual obligation at any time but must provide cause and written notice of the termination of this agreement at least 24 hours before it takes effect. If client is the terminating party, client must provide payment to contractor for work completed up to that date. The amount of payment is determined by the Payment Schedule and any parts that were completed for any incomplete deliverable. If contractor is the terminating party, contractor forfeits remaining payment for services rendered during the development of the current milestone except in the case of termination due to:
19.4.1) Client’s inability to pay invoices or make scheduled payments.
19.4.2) Client’s inability to provide necessary feedback, input, interaction, and materials to complete the
deliverable.
19.4.3) Client’s inability to provide necessary purchases, expenses, or payments to third parties.

After this grace period, work on project covered in client contract will cease until payment item is made. We have the right to refuse support and refuse to transfer materials/information relating to the account if the grace period has lapsed.
19.7) Time Estimates – The estimated date of completion is an estimate and not a hard requirement due to the unpredictability of the development process and its heavy dependence on:
a) a fixed design,
b) the turnaround time and acceptance of produced items by the client,
c) factors out of our control such as acts of providence.
19.8) Estimates – The estimates provided relating to the number of hours tasks, projects, or jobs will take are educated guesses and are neither ceilings nor hard quotes unless otherwise stated in the contract.
19.9) If changes occur during the development process that may affect the budget or development time client will be consulted before change to development process is implemented. Also note that budgeted hours or funds may be shifted between items in the same project.
