TERMS & CONDITIONS
 

GENERAL ACCEPTANCE

 

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 an estimate or 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.

 

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/estimate is accepted, the Company reserves the right to demand payment of the deposit immediately. Spencer Design reserves the right to cancel the service at any time if a Customer contravenes these Terms.

 

SUSPENSION OF SERVICES

 

We reserve the right to suspend all or any of the services that we have given to you, including those that have been already paid for should any of these terms not

be met.

 

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 on or before their due dates. Payment requirement is typically stated on the invoice as 14 days after invoice date. 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 on time, for whatever reason. The charge for delayed payment is a minimum of £40. All payment is in Pound Sterling. Depending on the type of agreement and unless agreed otherwise in writing we will invoice on the basis of work performed, on a calendar month. For fixed price projects, we will typically invoice at agreed key milestones during the project time period.

 

REFUND POLICY
