1.1 Uberdesign will confirm in writing, its understanding of the Client’s requirements by means of a formal Uberdesign “Client Quotation” and/or “Client Instruction Form”, which shall be supplied to the Client for approval, prior to the commencement of any works, and shall be subject to minor alterations only, where appropriate. Uberdesign will also confirm in writing (either within the body of the main “Client Quotation”, the “Client Instruction Form” or by separate email), its understanding of agreed delivery timescales for the build and supply of the completed works, along with any other relevant details or information relating to the general project that may affect the overall build specification, as may have been verbally discussed with the Client at the initial.Consultation/Client briefing.1.2 Client Instruction Form: Copy of the Uberdesign “Client Instruction Form” can be obtained from Uberdesign1.3 For the benefit of this schedule, the term “Works” shall specifically refer to all material produced, or due to be produced by Uberdesign, for and on behalf of the Client, as itemised in the “Client Quotation”, the “Client Instruction Form” or any subsequent amendments subject to the provisions of clause (6.2) of this schedule.
Invoicing & Payment
2.1 For all accounts, (25%) of the invoice total shall be paid prior to the commencement of any job. This initial payment shall be defined as the “Commencement Deposit”. Uberdesign reserves the right not to commence any work on a Client project until the “Commencement Deposit” has been received as cleared funds through their Bank (HSBC). We therefore recommend that payment of the initial “Commencement Deposit” be paid at least (5) working days prior to the required commencement of any job we undertake for and on behalf of the Client. The outstanding balance (25%) shall be due, in full, upon completion of the job (i.e. upon delivery of the final works to the client), the rest will need to follow in 20 days for final payment, unless other payment method has been specifically agreed to and confirmed in writing by Uberdesign to the Client, or unless the total job amount exceeds £20,000 (Sterling), excluding VAT at the prevailing rate, in which case clause (2.7) of this schedule shall apply.
2.2 Uberdesign will issue an appropriate invoice for payment as each respective sum becomes due for payment by the Client. All stage or balance payments are due for payment in full within (5) working days of their respective invoice. Invoices are sent to the Client by email; however, a paper copy is available upon request.
2.3 Late Payment: If payment is not received within (20) working days of the date of the respective invoice, Uberdesign reserves the right to automatically charge interest at a rate of (6%) above the base rate of HSBC Bank (per annum), which will be added to the customer’s account until final settlement has been made.
2.4 Payments should be made by “Bank Transfer” or “Company Cheque”.
2.5 All Cheques should be made payable to: “Uberdesign”
2.6 If the Client becomes bankrupt, or under the provisions of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986, is deemed to be unable to pay its debts, or compounds with its creditors, or in the event of a resolution being passed or proceedings commenced for the administration or liquidation of the Client (other than for a voluntary winding up for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation), or if a Receiver or Manager or Administrative Receiver is appointed of all or any part of its assets or undertaking, Uberdesign shall be entitled to cancel its contract with the Client, in whole or in part, by notice in writing without prejudice to any right or remedy accrued or accruing to Uberdesign.
2.7 Large Payments: In consideration of any large payments, where any “works” exceed £20,000 (Sterling), excluding VAT at the prevailing rate, Uberdesign may require the Client to make an intermediate stage payment of a further 25% of the total “works” amount, (an on account payment amounting to 75% of the total “works” amount), which Uberdesign shall separately invoice to the Client at the appropriate stage of build. Uberdesign shall specify any such stage payment in either the “Client Quotation” or “Client Instruction Form” prior to the commencement of any works. Uberdesign reserves the right to cease further activity in respect to the said “works” should a stage payment not be paid, in full, by the Client within three working days of receipt of our respective invoice). Subsequently, any delay of a stage payment, may result in a delay on the overall delivery of “works”.
Copy Approval
3.1 Alterations: Should the Client later require reasonable alterations, that have not previously been agreed and acknowledged in writing by Uberdesign in our initial Quotation (as per clause 2.1 of this schedule), or any subsequent email prior to commencement of the project, the Client is advised that further additional charges may apply in consideration of any such additional changes or alterations that may later be required by the Client. In this case, the Client should clearly specify in writing to Uberdesign (via email), exactly what additional alterations/changes are required. Uberdesign shall, by return, notify the Client in writing (via email) of any additional charges that need to be applied in consideration of any such alterations.
3.2 Any “Works” completed by Uberdesign for and on behalf of the Client, may only be publicly released by Uberdesign (for promotional purposes), once the completed “works” are proven to be in the public domain, or once the Client has confirmed their approval, in writing (via email), to Uberdesign (whichever is earliest).
Termination of Services
4.1 The Client may terminate their contract with Uberdesign at any time by written notice of termination. Such notice must be delivered to Uberdesign. “Point of Termination” shall be determined as the date that Uberdesign receives actual copy of the Clients written “Termination Notice”. Uberdesign shall, by return, confirm receipt of such notice to the client (email). We would recommend that any such notice be sent to our address using “Royal Mail Special Delivery”.
4.2 Should the Client wish to terminate their contract with Uberdesign prior to completion of the said “works”, the Client will remain liable for full payment of any work which Uberdesign has previously undertaken, and/or is currently in progress for and on behalf of the client.
4.3 Should the Client wish to terminate this agreement at any stage, funds held on account (excluding the Commencement Deposit) shall be refunded to the Client on a pro-rata basis, subject to a 5% administrative charge.
