GENERAL ACCEPTANCE

 

It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these Terms and Conditions for them to apply.

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
