Service Agreement for League Easy Web (LEW)
By clicking “I Agree” you are accepting this agreement between the League of Women Voters of California (Provider) and your local or state League of Women Voters (Customer).
Description of League Easy Web (LEW)
LEW is a simple and quick way for your League to create your own Web site. After filling in a simple Web or paper form, your can easily generate a multi-page Web site including a home page and other pages (listed below). More information is available at http://lwvnet.org.
Services Provided
Provider offers Customer a password-protected login to the Customer Web site and Web site generation templates, to help the Customer create the site. Predefined templates include these pages:
- Home
- Calendar of Events
- Elections
- About the League
- Voter Education
- Action and Advocacy
- Visions, Beliefs, and Intentions
- History of the League
- Join the League
- Join the League Form
- Support the League
- Donate Form
- Contact Us
Undefined generic pages are available for creation of pages on additional subjects, with no limit to the total number of pages. We encourage you to upload files to your site and will work with you to ensure they are as small as possible. This helps your pages load quickly and maximizes server space. Because technology changes quickly, our policies and procedures for posting PDFs (such as your Voter newsletter or voter service guides), JPGs (logos, photos and flyers), video and other files are not part of our MOU but are detailed on our website.
Templates are designed specifically for use by local, state, and inter-League organizations (ILOs) of the Leagues of Women Voters. The templates and universal architecture may be revised at the discretion of the Provider. Typically, this is in response to changes in technical standards, to implement feature requests from users, or involves changes to the header (logo, site name, and images across the top of the page) and the left navigation section (font, color, layout, etc.) in order to meet LWVUS branding standards.
The system will maintain a site map of the pages you have created as a menu for your users.
Customer will be given a Web site address or URL based on the naming convention of yourll.yourstate.lwvnet.org by the Provider. Customer may, at their discretion, purchase their own domain name and use it to access their LEW Web site.
LEW email addresses are available only via forwarding from LEW to private email addresses (i.e., president [at] yourll.yourstate.lwvnet.org can be set to forward to the personal email of your president – an email they get from their work or their home internet Provider, such as jdoe [at] comcast.net or janedoe [at] hotmail.com). We currently provide visitors to your Web site with a web form they can fill in to send email in order to prevent spam, but the methods may change as technology changes. Users may, at their discretion, provide additional contact information for their board and chairs within their LEW pages.
Customer data will be hosted on Provider’s server (connected to the internet) and backed up on a second server.
Technical assistance is available via email at support [at] lwvnet.org. Help pages are available on lwvnet.org to assist the Customer. Mutual support is encouraged (all Leagues using LEW are listed on lwvnet.org).
Content
Customer agrees to accept responsibility for the content on their Web site. Content shall not contain any demonstrably false, slanderous, or libelous statements nor any obscene or profane language, statements, insinuations, or images.
Insurance
Insurance is not included with this agreement. Customer is responsible for considering and, if desired, obtaining their own communications insurance. If you are not familiar with communications insurance, we recommend you contact a broker or attorney for further information. Generally, LEW clients do not choose to carry this insurance.
Commencement of Services / Go Live Date
The Customer must inform support [at] lwvnet.org that the Customer Web site is ready to “go live” or be open to the public. Commencement of Services shall begin on the day the confirmation email is sent from the Provider to the Customer, confirming the site is live –known as the “Go Live Date.”
