DESIGN SERVICE AGREEMENT
A design services agreement is a legal document used by Creative Solutions to outline the terms and conditions of our in-house Design Studio (Developer/Designer) performing design services for a client. This document contains the strict minimum of legal jargon required to still be legally enforceable.
This Design services agreement outlines payment terms, the designer's scope of work, the rights and responsibilities of the client or company hiring the designer, and the process of requesting changes to a design. This Design services agreement also addresses potential licensing and intellectual property issues that may come up after completing a design project.
The following Terms and Conditions document is a legal agreement between Creative Solutions, hereafter “the Developer/Designer” (Creative Solutions), and “the Client”. These Terms and Conditions set forth the provisions under which the Client may use the services supplied.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual benefits, agreements, covenants, and promises herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
GENERAL
These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings, or agreements. To maintain the quality of our service to our clients we reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions and the nature of our services at any given time.
ACCEPTANCE
By accepting a quote and making payment for services, you are considered to have accepted these terms and conditions in full.
It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these Terms and Conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these Terms and Conditions in full. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions for Design & Digital Product Services.
TERMINATION
Termination of services by the Client must be requested in a written notice and will be effective on acceptance of such notice. The Client will be invoiced for any work completed to the date of first notice of termination. In the case termination is initiated by the Customer before any deposit is in our account, but after any contract is signed or quote accepted, the Company reserves the right to demand payment of the deposit immediately. Creative Solutions reserves the right to cancel the service at any time if a Customer contravenes these Terms.
CHARGES AND PAYMENTS
The price that we charge you for our services is stated in your proposal and/or invoice. You will pay to us all the charges prior to work commencing. You can and may request additional services at any time after your Agreement has started. If we agree to provide you with these services, you will pay the additional charges they incur. We will charge you for any administration costs and/or loss of work that have occurred for any payment not being met for whatever reason. All payment is in Pound Sterling and all prices are displayed ex-VAT unless stated otherwise.
REFUND POLICY
All services are rendered ensuring quality. If at any time in the service rendering process, you are not satisfied with the quality of work, you may bring it to our attention. In general, we will not refund payments on time spent/services rendered, since Creative Solutions charges are based on the hours of work spent on the project. If a Customer contravenes the Company’s terms of service, a refund will not be issued.
Refunds are only possible if we are unable to render the services to you. The refund will be based on any hours that you have paid for but not used. No refunds will be given for hours spent on research, development, design, and administration. All deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances.
