What does Merqhaven’s introductory offer include?

From month 13 it is €49 per month. Build plus twelve months costs €1,467 excluding VAT. Hosting and domain remain separate; transfer to hosting is included. The offer applies only to Technical maintenance. The subscription remains cancellable monthly; an enquiry is not an order.

Are hosting and a domain name included?

No. Hosting and domain costs are not included in the build price or monthly subscription, including during the introductory offer. These costs are paid separately. Transfer to hosting is included. Hosting requirements, access and any additional licences are agreed in advance.

What is the difference between the monthly packages?

Technisch beheer kost regulier €49 per maand; tijdens de introductieaanbieding geldt €39 gedurende de eerste twaalf abonnementsmaanden en daarna €49. Dit pakket bevat technische updates, beveiligings- en beschikbaarheidscontroles en technisch onderhoud binnen de afgesproken omgeving. Inhoudelijke wijzigingen zijn niet inbegrepen. Uitgebreid onderhoud kost €99 per maand totaal en bevat daarnaast maximaal één gedeeld werkuur per abonnementsmaand voor inhoudelijke wijzigingen, ondersteuning en beperkte SEO/GEO aan de vijf bestaande pagina’s. Ongebruikte tijd wordt niet opgespaard. Extra pagina’s en functies krijgen een aparte offerte. Overig meerwerk gebeurt uitsluitend na voorafgaand akkoord à €65 per uur exclusief btw. Hosting en domeinkosten zijn apart. Back-ups en herstel worden per hostingomgeving vastgelegd en getest.

Can I cancel my subscription each month?

Yes. You can cancel monthly from the start, with no minimum term. Cancel by email before the end of the current subscription month. The subscription ends at the end of that month. This also applies to the introductory offer; twelve months of savings do not require an annual commitment.

What happens to changes after cancellation?

After termination Merqhaven no longer performs changes or maintenance. Hosting and domain registration are separate services with their own terms. Ownership, usage rights and any handover are set out in the quotation. This cancellation arrangement does not automatically block or delete your website or data.

At €99 per month: one hour for your priorities.

30 min

Your new content

30 min

A clearer answer

For example, 30 minutes for your new price list and 30 minutes to clarify a service page. The split depends on the work. Time does not roll over; extra work requires separate approval.

Maintenance, content and backups

Who checks the content before publication?

The client checks copy, images, business details and claims and approves them in writing before publication. The client is responsible for the accuracy and usage rights of supplied material. Merqhaven remains responsible for careful execution of the agreed work.

What if my changes take more than one hour?

Only Extended maintenance at €99 per month includes up to one shared working hour per subscription month for the five existing pages. Unused time does not carry over. Work beyond this budget requires prior approval at €65 per hour excluding VAT. Extra pages and features receive a separate quotation. The client is informed of actual time spent.

How are backups and recovery arranged?

The agreed backup approach covers code, images, relevant settings and the database: a restore point before changes, checks afterwards, daily backups of changing data, multiple versions retained for 30 days and a separate copy. Recovery is tested periodically. Before service starts, the quotation or service appendix confirms the technical setup, retention, test frequency and recovery arrangements for each hosting environment. This does not guarantee zero data loss or uninterrupted availability.

Before starting, we record which backup and recovery provisions on your hosting are technically possible, configured and tested. The provider and required access determine implementation. A backup download alone does not prove working automatic backups or a recovery test.

Recovery, handover and personal data

What does recovery cost if something goes wrong?

Correction of a demonstrable Merqhaven error in the agreed work is free and does not use the included hour. Recovery following client errors, outside changes or incidents not attributable to Merqhaven falls within the available maintenance time of the chosen package. Extended maintenance can use the remaining monthly hour. Technical maintenance includes no content working hour. Additional work is agreed in advance, only with approval at €65 per hour excluding VAT.

What does a full technical handover cost on cancellation?

The subscription remains cancellable monthly. Termination before twelve completed subscription months incurs a pre-agreed one-off fee of €99 excluding VAT for full technical handover. After twelve completed and paid subscription months handover is free. This fee covers handover work, not general cancellation. Technical dependencies and third-party licences are explained in advance. Transfer of personal data follows privacy and processing agreements; the fee does not restrict statutory privacy rights.

Which personal data belong on a simple business website?

Standard contact forms are limited to name, company, email, optional phone number and message. Only necessary technical data are processed for security. Do not send medical data, identity documents or payment card details through standard forms. Customer accounts, payments and wider data processing require separate assessment and agreements on security, access and retention. If Merqhaven processes personal data for the client, this is covered by a data processing agreement.
