In this Agreement the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings:
The Client shall pay Innovative Technologies & Solutions. 50% of the agreed work fee upon acceptance of the quotation unless otherwise agreed. Innovative Technologies & Solutions. reserves the right not to begin any Project until the said deposit has been paid in full.
Innovative Technologies & Solutions. shall be entitled to immediately restrict, suspend or terminate without notice, the Client’s access to and use of the Website upon breach of any part of this agreement whatsoever including without limitation the non-payment of any sums as and when they fall due until payment is made in full.
If the Client cancels a Project at any time prior to final delivery Innovative Technologies & Solutions. shall be entitled to its reasonable losses and expenses incurred to the date of cancellation.
Ongoing maintenance or amendments if required to be done by Innovative Technologies & Solutions. will be charged at an hourly rate unless this is included in the quote. Maintenance fees will be assessed on an hourly basis at an hourly rate set by Innovative Technologies & Solutions. Ongoing SEO updates are not included unless specified or paid for in an original quotation.
Innovative Technologies & Solutions. takes no responsibility for the functionality or maintenance of the Project after the Work has been completed. Errors both technical and typographical attributable to Innovative Technologies & Solutions. will be corrected free of charge. Innovative Technologies & Solutions. reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for correction of errors for which Innovative Technologies & Solutions. is not responsible for, including but not limited to malicious modification of the Website by a third party and typographical errors contained in materials provided to Innovative Technologies & Solutions. by the Client.
Innovative Technologies & Solutions. warrants completing of a Project in accordance with its Standard Terms and Conditions to the specifications previously agreed with by the Client. Innovative Technologies & Solutions. will not charge more than the amount previously agreed unless the Client has varied the specifications of the Work since the agreement. Innovative Technologies & Solutions. will not undertake changes to the specifications of the Project which would increase the cost, without prior written authorization from the Client.
Final payment is due within 30 days of Project completion. If the Project is held up by the client for assets not provided then final payment is due within 30 days of receipt of invoice and the Project will continue once we have received assets from the client.
On completion of the Project, the Client will be notified and have the opportunity to review the Project. The Client should notify Innovative Technologies & Solutions., in writing or by Email, of any unsatisfactory points within 7 days of receipt of such notification. Any of the Project which has not been reported as unsatisfactory within the 7 day review period will be deemed to have been approved. Once approved, the Project cannot subsequently be rejected, and the contract will be deemed to have been completed and the 50% balancing payment will become due. The Contract will remain in effect until all obligations have been completed in terms of this Clause.
If the Client rejects the Work within the 7 day review period, or will not approve subsequent Work performed by Innovative Technologies & Solutions. to remedy any points reported by the Client as unsatisfactory, and Innovative Technologies & Solutions. considers that the Client is unreasonable in his repeated rejection of the Work, the contract will be deemed to have expired and Innovative Technologies & Solutions. can take any legal measures to recover both payment for the completed Work and reasonable expenses incurred in recovering payment.
The Client is to supply all materials and information required for Innovative Technologies & Solutions. to complete the Project in accordance with the agreed specification. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, photographs, written-copy, logos and other printed materials. Where the Client’s failure to supply such materials leads to a delay in completion of the Project, Innovative Technologies & Solutions. has the right to extend previously agreed deadlines for the completion of the Project by a reasonable amount. Where the Client’s failure to supply materials prevents progress on the Project for more than 21 days, Innovative Technologies & Solutions. has the right to invoice the Client for any part or parts of the Project already completed.
If payment has not been received by the due date, Innovative Technologies & Solutions. has the right to suspend ongoing work for the Client, until such time that full payment of the outstanding balance has been received. If full payment has still not been received 30 days after the due date, Innovative Technologies & Solutions. has the right to replace, modify or remove the Website and revoke the Client’s license of the Work until full payment has been received. By revoking the Client’s license of the Work or removing the web site from the Internet, Innovative Technologies & Solutions. does not remove the Client’s obligation to pay any outstanding monies owing.
