Annual Maintenance Contract
Website Maintenance & Support
A website is never "finished" — it needs regular updates, secure hosting, watchful monitoring and someone to call when something breaks. Our AMC bundles all of it into one predictable yearly fee.
Why an AMC
One yearly fee instead of ad-hoc invoices
Outdated software is the leading cause of website compromise. An Annual Maintenance Contract keeps your CMS, plugins, themes and server patched, your data backed up and your uptime monitored — with service-level commitments on response time and uptime, not best-effort promises.
Hosting, domain, email, website and server issues are all handled by the same team, so there is one number to call when something needs attention.
What the AMC covers
Three services, one contract
Website Maintenance & Support
Regular CMS, plugin and theme updates, bug fixes, content changes, performance tuning and a support desk that responds within a guaranteed time.
Web Hosting
Reliable cloud hosting sized for your traffic, with SSL, business email, CDN and staging environments on the higher tiers — all managed by us.
Server Maintenance & Security
Uptime monitoring, scheduled backups, malware scanning and removal, firewall protection and OS-level patching to keep the platform hardened.
Predictable cost
One annual fee instead of an invoice every time something needs attention.
Security first
Outdated software is the leading cause of compromise — we keep everything patched.
Guaranteed response
Service-level commitments on response time and uptime, not best-effort promises.
Business continuity
Scheduled backups and a tested restore process keep a bad day a minor inconvenience.
One point of contact
Hosting, domain, email, website and server — all handled by the same team.
Onboarding audit
We audit versions, security, backups, page speed and broken links before anything else.

Terms & conditions
The contract, in plain terms
1Contract term
The AMC runs for 12 months from the commencement date and renews automatically for a further 12 months unless either party gives 30 days' written notice before the renewal date.
2Payment
The annual fee is payable in full in advance, within 14 days of invoice, before services commence. Enterprise clients may opt for two half-yearly instalments. Add-ons and out-of-scope work are invoiced monthly in arrears. Late payments attract 2% interest per month and services may be suspended after 30 days overdue.
3Pricing & taxes
Prices are quoted in LKR, exclusive of VAT, SSCL and any other applicable taxes, and are fixed for the contract term. Renewal pricing may be revised with 30 days' notice. USD-linked components are locked at LKR 350 / USD for the term.
4Support hours
Included content-update hours are allocated monthly and do not roll over. Requests are logged through the agreed support channel; work beyond the allocation is quoted before it starts.
5Client responsibilities
The client provides timely access to hosting, domain, CMS and third-party accounts; supplies content in a ready-to-use form; nominates a single point of contact; and keeps third-party licences current. Changes made by the client or third parties outside Livezen's control are not covered by the SLA.
6Scheduled maintenance
Routine maintenance is carried out in low-traffic windows with at least 24 hours' notice where possible, and is excluded from uptime calculations.
7Backups & data
Backups are retained as per package. Restores on request are included; restores caused by client-side actions beyond one per quarter may be charged. The client owns all website content and data and may request a full export at any time.
8Confidentiality
Both parties keep credentials, business information and the agreement confidential. Livezen will not share client data with third parties except as required to deliver the services (e.g. hosting providers).
9Liability
Livezen's total liability is limited to the fees paid for the current contract year. Livezen is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss caused by third-party services, force majeure, or client actions.
10Termination
Either party may terminate for material breach not remedied within 30 days of written notice. Early termination by the client for convenience does not entitle a refund of the annual fee. On termination Livezen provides a full backup and cooperates with a reasonable hand-over.
11Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.
A signed proposal document with acceptance and sign-off pages is issued on request. Proposals are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
