Website Contract
A signed Website
Contract or Desktop
Publishing Contract is required before we undertake any work and constitutes
your agreement with our full Terms and Conditions. In the event of your
re-specification of the project, or receipt of insufficient or poorly
legible material, we reserve the right to revise any quotation given.
No work will be undertaken until both parties are in agreement and a revised
contract is signed. Signature of these constitutes acceptance of these
Terms & Conditions.
Computer Viruses
All material supplied by you via email attachment or disk will be scanned
to prevent computer viruses and will not be opened if viruses are detected.
As a precaution, we do not open any attachments or emails which do not
contain a subject heading or message. As a result, we do not accept liability
for lost business or any other consequence of unopened emails.
Proofreading
You are wholly responsible for the final proofreading of any completed
work before it is utilised in any way, and we cannot accept responsibility
for any consequential loss or any liability arising due to the subsequent
use of any documentation produced. Once you have accepted the completed
work, any changes will be charged at the standard rates.
Payment
All work will be charged in accordance with the pricing scale agreed to
on the Contract. All costs of materials supplied or used in the course
of work ie postage and stationery, will be invoiced in addition to the
rates quoted. For small projects you will be invoiced on completion, with
on-going projects an invoice will be sent at regular intervals. For larger
projects ie a website a fee will be agreed first with a 25% deposit with
final payment on completion. Payment will be made within fourteen days
of receipt of invoice. We shall be reimbursed for any bank charges incurred
by us arising from the return of unpaid cheques. Payment can be made by:
- Cheques payable to "Lisa Lyman"
- Bank transfer - details shown on invoice
- Credit and debits cards via PayPal.
Outstanding Invoices
Where invoices remain outstanding beyond the fourteen days, the following
procedure will apply:
1. If it is necessary for us to issue reminders for payments outstanding,
a fee of £15 shall be added to the invoice on each such occasion.
2. Any invoices which remain outstanding 30 days from the invoice date,
shall automatically be subject to a monthly interest charge of Bank of
England base rate plus 8% of the balance due at that time (including any
possible late payment reminder fees) until the date the payment reaches
our account.
Confidentiality
We will endeavour to maintain confidentiality of your information at all
times, and will not pass any information to a third party without your
express permission. We agree to consider any non-disclosure or confidentiality
agreement.
Force Majeure
In the event we are prevented from completing or delivering any work,
or should the work be subject to any delay due to any cause beyond the
control of either party, we shall be authorised to give you notice of
suspension or cancellation of the project in whole or in part, without
liability for any loss arising thereby, and you shall pay us immediately
for any work or materials that have been provided to the date of any such
notice.
Documentation Storage
Back up copies of your files will be kept for a period of 6 months, after
which time they will be deleted unless you have agreed to a storage fee.
It is highly recommended that all original documentation is sent by registered
post to avoid loss.
Copyright etc
You are solely responsible for ensuring the appropriate use of any document
produced by us on your behalf, including abiding by any copyright and
plagiarism laws, and publishing requirements. We accept no responsibility
for such material supplied by you, and reserve the right to return any
work which we believe to be inappropriately supplied. We also reserve
the right to reject any material which we believe to be offensive, immoral
or illegal. When we are following your instructions, you will indemnify
us in full against all losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
incurred as a result of any claim by any third party.
English Law
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unenforceable,
it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
These Terms and Conditions may be amended from time to time. These Terms
and Conditions and the client's use of our Services are subject to and
shall be construed in accordance with English Law.
