Terms of Sale
CMS made easy (CMSme) is a service operated by Monkey Island Ltd. See Terms of Use
for general terms of using the CMSme service. Your trading contract is with Monkey
Island Ltd, but this document refers to CMSme throughout. The term Editor and User
both refer to the registered User of the editing software.
Backup
Before using CMSme, and as good practice in general, you should always keep a backup
of your website(s) in a separate location from your live site(s). Since CMSme remotely
accesses files, any changes you publish via CMSme become permanent. Although CMSme
keeps track of webpage revisions for a limited period, you should only rely on this
as a last-resort recovery method for your webpages.
Editors (Users)
One website and up to 5 Editor logins (Users) are allowed per subscription. The User
may choose either the standard editing functions or the full editing functions, or
upgrade for free at a later stage. Also included, the User has access to site properties,
up to 90 days page change history, and access to a Google Analytics dashboard if
desired.
The CMSme page editor can be used simply as a “Word-like” text editor, but contains
many features pertinent to website content management. Code inserted is SEO friendly
and meets W3C standards.
The standard editor allows for editing text and images, with functions for Undo,
Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Paste Plain Text, Remove Formatting, Search, Find/Replace,
Spell Check (User download option), Insert/Edit Hyperlink, Unlink, Insert/Edit Anchor,
Insert/Edit Image, Insert Special Character, Toggle Full Screen, File Manager (manage/upload
files, such as PDF) and text formatting for Paragraph and Style (usually compatible
with the website Style Sheet or “CSS”), Bold, Italic, Bullets, Numbering, Indents
and Block Quotation Mark.
The full editor allows for all of the standard functions and in addition for Insert/Embed
Media (e.g. Video, Sound), Insert Table, Insert Horizontal Ruler, Edit HTML Source
and additional text formatting for Editing CSS Style (e.g. colours, font), Insert/Edit
Attributes (e.g. mouse rollover), Strikeout, Sub-Script, Super-Script, Paragraph
Alignment (Left, Right, Centre, Block). Page Cloning (used to create new pages from
a template designed for your site), Page Delete, Edit Page Properties (e.g. search
engine keyword tags).
Each Editor may view all pages or be restricted as to which pages they may edit.
Additional Users: Up to four additional Users may be registered.
CMSme is not responsible for data loss resulting from use of the service; after initial
backup of the existing site by CMSme the User is responsible for maintaining backup
copies of their website. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Use.
Licence, Charges & Payments
Licence: The User of the CMSme content editor is licensed to use the CMS made easy
site and editor only for authorised Editors (Users) within the Terms of Use and only
whilst paying the monthly charge.
Set-up: After the initial free assessment and in order for CMSme to work it is necessary
that CMSme make minor changes to the HTML code of the User’s website. This requires
the User to release the FTP (or SFTP) address, username and password (we help get
these if necessary). In order for CMSme to work, small technical changes need to
be made to each web page; the complexity of these small changes depends on how the
web page was created. Consequently, CMSme may require a one-off set-up charge for
enabling a website to use the CMSme editor; if a charge is necessary, User will be
quoted separately. Once the initial set-up has been done, no further technical input
from CMSme should be required. The changes and possible charges apply to each website
designated by the customer.
User Charge: User is charged at the rate of £10 ($16 US) / month (includes five Editors);
Subscription payments to Monkey Island Ltd must be automated (e.g. Credit Card, Paypal,
Direct Debit). All payments subject to UK VAT where appropriate and prices quoted
here do not include VAT. CMSme reserve the right to alter charges without notice
by email to User’s registered email address. The term of the agreement is a rolling
one month, thus requiring no notice of termination. Payments must be made by automated
credit in favour of Monkey Island Ltd. CMSme reserve the right to terminate the agreement
without notice or as stated in the Terms of Use.
Set-up fee (if agreed) and the first subscription fee are to be paid prior to commencement
of live service.
User IPR
Although CMSme needs to make small changes to the User’s web pages, CMSme claim no
IPR or other rights in the modified code. All such rights remain with the registered
web site owner. CMSme does not require any external links to or from your site, which
therefore remains completely independent of CMSme and the editing service.
Any changes the User makes to their site remain the sole property of the User and
CMSme have nor claim any rights whatsoever to content, structure or other properties
of the User’s website. Should the User cancel the CMSme service, their website will
remain entirely as it is at the point of cancellation.
CMSme normally add a discrete link back to www.cmsmadeeasy.com for SEO purposes;
if the User wishes to specifically prohibit the addition of this link, please inform
us by email at any time.
In addition the User confirms to CMSme that they own or have permission to use all
materials on their website including but not limited to the design, all images, all
copy, all artwork and other design items. The User indemnifies CMSme against all
claims for misuse of copyright or other rights inherent in the materials on their
website.
Confidentiality
CMSme will hold all information the User supplies in confidence and will not disclose
such information to a third party unless ordered to do so by an appropriate court
of law. In the event that User ceases to pay for the CMSme service, the User website
and all Editors will be removed from CMSme records and details of any access codes
or passwords given to CMSme will be destroyed.
Browser Compatibility
CMSme is compatible with Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+, and
Google Chrome. Internet Explorer 6 Users will be instructed to upgrade or download
a supported browser before accessing the CMS.

information by third-parties. We use 128-bit AES encryption to safeguard your credentials

software to maintain the highest level of security possible. For more information
