If you need a PDF copy or a paper copy, please talk to one of our sales representative or call us using the number on our website www.kokoe.co.uk and we will send you a PDF copy via email or mail for you to print to make a paper copy. Unless agreed otherwise, these Terms and Conditions are deemed to have been fully agreed and accepted by you upon instruction to us to commence any work. These Terms and Conditions represent the full agreement between you and us and any parties that you may instruct at any time and this includes you yourself and all your assigns, agents or employees as if instructed by you as well as those paying your bill/s.

1) STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These are the standard terms and conditions for all Website Design and Development and apply to all contracts and all work undertaken by Kokoe Web and its Assigns for its Clients.

2) OUR FEES AND DEPOSITS

A 50% deposit of the total fee payable under our proposal is due immediately upon you instructing us to proceed with the website design and development work.

i. We reserve the right not to commence any work until the deposit has been paid in full.

ii. All prices listed are in GB Pounds Sterling unless stated otherwise.

iii. The remaining 50% (of the 50% payment to commence the Work/s) shall become due when the work is completed and shall be subject to the terms of the “approval of work” clause below and the “rejected work” clauses below or 7 calendar days, whichever is the earlier.

iv. The 50% paid by you will cover the extensive preparation work, design sketches and planning, the roughs/visuals of your proposed website for you to see and approve, the printed pages and copy for us to work from (this printing does not cover books of the entire site or reference or guard books), research, downloading of files, illustrations of the page elements, retouching of some works (not over 1024 x 768 pixels and/or no more than 72 pixels) and if necessary, a catalogue of items and products in your repertoire or under your ownership for our own use to reference for the loading of elements. In the case of contracts with a Virtual Art Gallery attached, the first 40% covers the planing stages of that gallery.

v. The remaining 50% will be to cover the expediting and the finishing of the work AFTER the you/the Client has approved the design of the site and AFTER you/the Client has instructed us to proceed and to finish the site. Should we proceed with you/the Client's full knowledge of us proceeding, in any case, upon sign off/publishing (which hereto and herewith are the same) the remaining 50% of the full fee already paid and bound as per these terms and conditions will be due for payment.

vi. All and any 'Additional Work/s' made AFTER publishing the site that are not considered 'fine tuning' may at our discretion allow up to one day of work (8 hours) maximum. Fine tuning for weeks on end is not fine tuning.

vii. If however there are/is any further work/s or 'Additional Work/s' then these shall be charged at the Standard Hourly Rate hereinafter referred to as the standard hourly rate.

viii. Under no circumstances shall any 'change of mind' or 'change of brief' bear any relation to the agreed brief or an addition to the brief that constitutes the original contract. Any change of mind or change of brief made after the first phase must be made clear prior to the publishing of the website and will be paid for at the standard hourly rate under 'additional work' if we consider that work to be necessary. Any changes come under 'Additional Works' and are separately chargeable and shall be paid monthly.

ix. Fine Tuning is a process that is used to make minor changes to the site after Sign off/Publishing. Fine Tuning allows for one day (8 hours) of work. If the work is more extensive and requires new pages or added items such as copy or graphics or photographs or pictures in any way that it exceeds the 8 hours to produce the work, then this additional work will come under the terms applied under 'Additional Works'. Every Client is given ample opportunity to inspect their website and to approve it before publishing. If a Client approves their website and/or goes live (publishes) their website and realises afterwards that they had forgotten or not realised or seen any errors or omissions then this is the sole fault of the Client and the Company shall not be liable for such Additional Works to be produced. This is sadly, one area that often occurs too many times which is why we have to state it clearly here and we therefore advise every client to make sure their website is ready to go live and to check everything before they press the PUBLISH button.

x. We are here to help all our Clients so please ask for more time if you need it or make provisions for us to help you if you are tight on time and we can make a special agreement in writing for you to publish your website urgently and label it on the pages or sections pages 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION' while we attend to the minor corrections or additions. The maximum time for all additions made after the website has gone live will be for 7 working days work. After this period all work will be chargeable at the standard rate charge.
