General
The client is defined as a person or company authorizing work. Upon approval of the budget, the client accepts the following Terms and Conditions. This contract supersedes any previous agreements, excluding individual contracts entered into for specific projects.
Approval
Although every attempt is made to ensure the accuracy of services, when supplied with a proof, the client must take responsibility to ensure that the information is true and correct.
Proofing
Please be aware that the reproduction quality and color fidelity in proofs supplied are guides only. Generally, you will notice an improvement in quality at the proofing stage, should you have requested that option, but be aware that color lasers may treat colors differently. Please consult your point of contact for more information if needed.
Schedules
Every attempt is made to meet deadlines as set at the time of commissioning. However, Fusion Communications Limited cannot accept responsibility or liability for failure to do so due to circumstances beyond its control.
Compliance
We take no responsibility to ensure that material complies with any laws, regulations, statutes, or judgments. Appropriate legal approval must be sought by the client. The client will indemnify Fusion Communications Limited against any damages incurred in consequence of work undertaken on the client’s behalf.
Fees
Fees are estimated as accurately as possible based on the information supplied at that time. If alterations to this estimate are necessary, the client will be supplied with a new estimate. If additional goods or services are requested beyond this estimate, and without allowing time to furnish a new estimate, or if the need for a revision is waived by the client, the costs of these goods or services will be reflected in the invoice.
Payment Terms
Unless agreed to in writing, payment will be due upon receipt of the invoice. Should any invoices not be paid within 30 days, Fusion Communications Limited reserves the right to charge interest at the current bank loan rate permitted by law. All costs associated with the collection of fees will be met by the client.
Rights to Work Produced
The client has no rights to the work produced by Fusion Communications Limited until full payment has been made. Until payment is received in full, all materials, designs, and work products remain the exclusive property of Fusion Communications Limited.
Legal
Fusion Communications Limited retains the right to dissociate from any project which, in our judgment, would be illegal, fraudulent, or in any way harmful to the best interest of our company.
Reference Material
Every effort is made to return as promptly as possible all material and property belonging to the client. However, we are not authorized to release any property or material owned by another party. Fusion Communications Limited retains the right to any such property until payment is received in full. This includes photographs, illustrations, or other such artwork owned by the artists. We are happy to negotiate any ownership conditions if requested.
Copyright
Original material and designs remain the property of Fusion Communications Limited. If any material is required for use outside the original brief, approval to do so must be sought in writing from Fusion Communications Limited. The client is authorized to use this material only once the fee is paid in full. Fusion Communications Limited reserves the right to commission samples of any works for reference and promotional purposes.
Archiving
While Fusion Communications Limited takes all reasonable care to archive digital files once a job is completed, we cannot be held responsible for any corruption in this process. Fusion Communications Limited will hold jobs in its archives for a period of 1 year. An additional fee will be charged for any retrieval from archives.
