Quality of Service

You deserve to have your work carried out to the highest possible standard and in an understanding and timely manner and we will always try and exceed your expectations. We value quality very highly and look to pass that on to our clients at every opportunity.

Our values are our commitment to you.

• We will act with the utmost integrity, displaying integrity, professional dedication and courtesy at all times.
• All correspondence, such as emails and phone calls, will be dealt with promptly.
• We will provide you with an alternative contact if the person you are looking for is unavailable.
• We will give clear and concise information regarding your inquiry and the associated estimate and also about the project if you decide to place a booking.
• We are also long-standing members of the International Association of Outsourcing Providers.
• We guarantee high-quality and cost-effective services.

How You Can Help

• Please make sure you give us clear instructions to allow us to effectively provide an accurate estimate and work to the best of our abilities on the project.
• Reply promptly to communications. The developer is on a dedicated basis, and it is important he or she has tasks at all times to avoid delays (any delays may increase the time required to complete the project).
• Please tell us if you are going to be away or unable to respond to requests for information.
• If you are dissatisfied with the service being provided, please tell us. We cannot resolve a problem we are unaware of.
• Please regularly check your Online Project Management Area, as well as emails. We will be directing a good deal of your project communications through email.

What we will not do

• Work on a live server (unless specified). We will supply a sandbox server for development (Digital Marketing (SEO) work does take place on the live server)
• Hold the only set of data; please give us test data or a copy of the live DB
• We will not fill the developer's day; you are requested to supply tasks at all times.
• Tolerate abuse of staff members.
• Contact end customers directly; projects are done in the strictest confidence.
• Outsource your work to a third party.

Basis of Charging Fees

• Our “Dedicated” service is supplied on a “Time and materials” based and sold in daily, weekly or monthly blocks.
• Our “Ad-hoc” or “Bucket” service is also “Time and Materials”; the service is sold in minimum 10, 20, 40 hours blocks

Acceptance of Services

• At various intervals throughout a project, you will be asked to view, test and sign off certain sections. As a project is a combination of these smaller sections, we ask this is done in a timely manner; delay in this process can cause delay to the project as a whole and delay the overall timeframe.
• Once TGSane Technologies has fulfilled the obligated booking period purchased, or the project has been completed, the project shall be tested accordingly. If any failure to pass the test results from a defect which is caused by an act of omission of you or by one of your subcontractors or agents, the project will be deemed to have passed the test notwithstanding such non-TGSane Technologies defect. We may provide assistance reasonably requested by you in relation to supplying a suitable remedy for any non-TGSane Technologies defect by supplying additional services. These would be offered at the current fees and prices.
• Back-up: it is the client’s responsibility to ensure they have a backup of the work. We recommend taking backups of the work at all stages (we recommend an automated scheduled backup, which can be setup alongside any work by our server technicians). On live servers, all development work takes place “off-site” on a Sandbox environment provided (Digital Marketing (SEO) work does take place on the live server). On occasion, it may be requested that development takes place on live servers (time constraints, upon client request, licensing reasons, for example). This is done so at your own risk. We do not take responsibility for any impact this may have on either the live site or your ability to work. We strongly recommend the use of a server.
