Our Obligations

Design Fusions will use its reasonable care and skill in the production of any works carried out on behalf of their client and supply them with works as to the original brief.

The Client’s Obligations

The client will take care in ensuring the original specification is as comprehensive and detailed as possible and communication with all involved parties is prompt. Also, payments are paid in full within 30 days of the invoice being issued.

Payment

Unless agreed in writing invoices will be paid in two parts. 50% on sign-off as a deposit and then the final 50% upon project completion. Design Fusions reserves the right to delay any agreed project start date if the initial payment is delayed.

All invoices should be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. Any invoice that is overdue by 30 days will incur interest and will be added to the invoice from the due date at a rate of 8% above Bank of England interest rate. Interest rates are at Design Fusions discretion and will be considered on a per project basis.

All rates, quotations or prices are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. Projects carried out by Design Fusions for clients with a registered address outside of the United Kingdom are exclusive of VAT.

All expenses that occur in relation to a project including but limited to, travel, accommodation, printing and legal fees will be billed in addition to the project. Design Fusions will do its upmost to keep these expenses to a minimum if applicable.

Any work which is delivered to the client from Design Fusions will deemed signed off if the client does not respond within 10 working days of delivery.

The client is responsible for coordinating any third parties involved in the production of the project. Any delays incurred due to third parties may result in increased delivery times and costs.

If the scope of the project changes during the project life-cyle from the original specification outlined in the signed proposal such as additional functionality or design changes then such changes will be documented and may impact on delivery times and cost.

All projects undertaken by Design Fusions rely heavily on the clients staff and investors to, review and approve delivery of work and to be available for frequent meetings, telephone calls or email correspondence. The client is responsible for the prompt responses required by these parties. Failure to do so may result in increased delivery times and cost.

Approvals

For the design stage of the project the client has a maximum of 3 rounds of changes for amends to the initial design. Design Fusions reserves the right to invoice for any additional rounds of changes after this at the current hourly rate. Additional amends may result in increased delivery times.

Approval given by the client either by email, or verbal communication of final copy, layouts, scripts, storyboards, designs and all applicable amends will provide authority to Design Fusions to carry out the work and invoice for the payment as agreed.

Upon final delivery of a project the client has a maximum of 14 days to notify Design Fusions of any design, development and copy errors. These changes will be carried out by Design Fusions free of charge if they come under the initial agreed project specification. Design Fusions reserves the right to charge for any amends outside the initial agreed specification. This will be judged on a per project basis.

Delivery

Upon completion of a clients project Design Fusions will invoice for the final payment. Design Fusions will then upload or send the project to the clients desired location.

If the client wishes to have the project delivered onto a service such as web hosting that is not provided by Design Fusions then the client is responsible for providing a suitable platform in which to deliver to project to. Any additional costs incurred from third parties to enable the delivery of the project will be the sole responsibility of the client. Design Fusions reserves the right to invoice for any additional time that is incurred on the project through delivery. This will be at Design Fusions discretion and will be judged on a per project basis.

Termination

Either party may terminate the contractual agreement in place between Design Fusions and the client at any time upon the receipt of written confirmation.

Once the contract is concluded as provided on these terms and conditions, any subsequent cancellation by the client will result in the client being liable for cost incurred to date as if the cancellation had not taken place. Design Fusions will not be liable for any third party costs incurred to the client from termination within its existing contractual commitments to its suppliers.

Confidential Information

Neither party shall divulge any confidential information which is supplied to it about the other party in the course of this document or any pre-agreement discussions other than information forming part of the public domain. When required by the client, Design Fusions will sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). Normal terms apply under this agreement.
