5. Quotes + Fees
5.1 All quotes, fees and estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of submission.
5.2 Quotes, fees estimates are based upon the information provided by the Client, including, but not limited to, detail on quantities, structure, scope and functionality. Any quote or estimate may therefore be subject to change should the Client’s requirements change at any time.
5.3 Unless otherwise stated VAT will be charged extra.
5.4 If the contract or hourly Fee has not been fixed for the term of a contract, the hourly Company rates will apply.
5.5 The Company reserves the right to alter their Fees and Rates at any time as business needs dictate.
5.6 Quotes/estimates are based upon the Companies current costs of production and, unless otherwise agreed, are subject to amendment on or at any time after acceptance to meet any rise or fall in such costs.
5.7 Any stated timescale is reliant upon the Client providing all required, finalised, high-quality and usable information, copy, images or other required assets or information within the time set out by the Company at project initiation.
5.8 If any assets provided by the Client are not of high enough quality to be used by the Company, or other issues arise that may cause delays to the production of the work, such as but not limited to issues with usage rights or amendments to copy submitted after the work has commenced, the Company reserves the right to charge the Client additional fees should these issues result in extra time being spent by the Company to create any final Work or Deliverables.
5.9 Any estimates given by the Company as to the time of completion or performance of its services (whether completion of the whole or a part of those services) shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.

5.11 If the Client has a deadline that’s impossible to achieve during normal working hours or as part of the Companies standard work schedule or timeframes (usually this is a deadline with very short notice or a large volume of work that needs to be completed within an unrealistic time frame) then the Company can sometimes offer to complete the Work by working over time. This means the Companies team will agree to work evenings and weekends to complete the work in time for the Client’s deadline. When this happens the Agency must, understandably, charge a ‘rush fee’ in addition to the agreed project fee. The rush fee will depend upon the time taken and scope of work but is usually charged at 25% above our standard rates and fees.

17.2 Any modification or amendment of the Agreement, the Confirmation Note or Intellectual Property Provisions shall be in writing and shall become effective if and when signed by both parties.
18. Time Schedules and Delays
18.1 The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Companies ability to meet any and all schedules is entirely dependent upon the Client’s prompt performance of its obligations to provide materials, information and attend each agreed coaching and consultancy workshop and session, and that any delays in the Client’s performance or any additional work requested by the Client may delay delivery of the Deliverables and completion of any course of coaching or retainer. Any delay caused by the Client shall not constitute a breach of obligations or terms and conditions by the Company.
18.2 All timelines and costs are based upon the availability of the Client and their participation in the project, retainer or course of coaching or consultancy. Delay in participation may result in the delay of the whole project or course of work, and the Company will not bear accountability for any delays in the project or course of work as a result of Client failure to meet deadlines, attend workshops and sessions, or send required content and information in good time.
18.3 If the delivery of any Deliverables is delayed as a result of the Client, the Company reserves the right to invoice in part or in full for any Work already completed but contingent on the delivery of the delayed deliverables. The issuing of these interim invoices may occur outside of the agreed payment schedule.
18.4 Where necessary, the Company may engage specialist 3rd party vendors to ensure the timely and quality delivery of any works commissioned.
18.5 If performance of the Services is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Client or failure by the Client to perform any relevant obligation (“Client Default”):
18.5.1 the Company shall, without limiting our other rights or remedies, have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Client remedies the Client Default;
18.5.2 the Company shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Client that arise directly or indirectly from Client Default;
18.5.3 the Client shall reimburse the Company on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Company arising directly or indirectly from the Client Default, and;
18.5.4 the Company reserves the right to cancel the contract should the Client be unable to remedy the Client Default within 60 days of the Client Default occurring.
18.6 Should the Client cause significant delays to the delivery of the Work or completion of a course of coaching or consultancy, the Company reserves the right to either cancel the contract or charge additional fees to the Client. Unless otherwise specified in the Confirmation Note or Scope of Work, a significant delay would be considered as a delay that lasts 30 days or more. Client delays might include, by way of example, the Client not responding to the Companies attempts to contact them, the Client not sending requested feedback or materials to the Company, the Client not providing requested information to the Company.
18.7 If the Company chooses to cancel the contract as a result of a Client Default or significant delay any outstanding costs, fees and other expenses must be paid to the Company with immediate effect. Furthermore, the Company shall not be held liable for any costs, fees, damages or other losses sustained or incurred by the Client that arise directly or indirectly from Client delays or the cancellation of a contract due to Client Default or Client delays.
18.8 Because of the nature of the Companies business, the Company will be juggling multiple Clients at any given time – both project based and retainer Clients. Because time is at a premium, the Company will not take on more Clients than they can handle, however, scheduling is a priority for the Company. The Company schedules all work for the month in advance to maintain a workflow that is conducive for our business and for all of the Companies Clients. When the Company takes on a Client, or a Client wishes to contract the Company to complete additional work for them, they are given a set amount of time in the Companies work schedule. The scheduling of these tasks is at the discretion of the Company. Should a Client wish to contract Work with the Company that cannot reasonably be completed within the Companies work schedule and standard timelines, such as requests with short turnaround deadlines, the Company is likely to charge a rush fee (please see clause 5.11) which will be quoted for in addition to the Work.
19. Accreditation and Promotions
19.1 The Company retains the right to reproduce, publish and display any feedback, testimonials, Deliverables or any Work created as part of the project, whether Final Works or Working Files or any other relevant Work created by the Company in the Companies portfolios and websites, and in galleries, design and business periodicals and other media or exhibits for the purposes of recognition of creative excellence or professional advancement, and to be credited with authorship of the Deliverables in connection with such uses. Either party, subject to the other’s reasonable approval, may describe its role in relation to the Project and, if applicable, the services provided to the other party on its website and in other promotional materials, and, if not expressly objected to, include a link to the other party’s website.
19.2 Where the Company performs discounted or pro-bono work the Company retains the right to secure written, photographic and videographic testimonials from the Client to be used in perpetuity, worldwide, on any medium including but not limited to digital, print, film, and during speeches at live events. Failure by the Client to provide or work with the Company to create a set of testimonials, photographs and filmed footage will be deemed a breach of contract, in which circumstances the Company will issue an invoice for payment of their services to date in line with current Company Fees.
19.3 Prior to the commencement of any pro-bono or discounted work the Agency will issue the Client with an Agreement which will outline how the Work may be used, which must be signed by the Client before any work may be used by the Client. This will include the type of media the Work may be used on, how long for, in what territories and how the Work must be credited.
19.4 The Company retains the right to reproduce, publish and display any feedback, testimonials, Deliverables or any Work created as part of the project, whether Final Works or Working Files or any other relevant Work created by the Company in its sister companies portfolios and websites, including but not limited to: on social media pages, digital ads, websites, print materials, display materials.

20.12 The Client must not attempt to ‘pass off’ any Work, whether Final or otherwise, created by the Company as their own or that of another Company. The Client is responsible for the use of any original Work created by the Company. In the instance that the Client decides to work with another company, freelancer or other third party, it is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the third party does not pass off the Work created by the Company as their own or misrepresent the origin of the Work in order to lead consumers to believe that the Work has been created by another business.
20.13 Any pre-existing Intellectual Property Rights of either party that are made available for use in connection with the provision of the Services shall remain vested in that party; the other
party shall have a licence to use those rights so far as may be necessary to enable that party to provide or to enjoy the benefit of the Services.
20.14 All Intellectual Property Rights that are created in the course of the provision of the Services and in the Deliverables shall belong to the Company; the Client shall have a royalty free, perpetual licence to use those rights as envisaged by this Agreement to enable the Client to have the benefit of the Services and the Deliverables for use within the Client’s own business.
