Summary

We’ll always do our best to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it is important to have a written agreement between us so that we all understand our rights and responsibilities.  

We will treat you with respect and honesty at all times and will honour the terms and conditions we agree to with good faith, and expect that you’ll engage with us with the same respect, honesty and good faith.

​

How this Agreement Works

Within this Agreement we set the general terms and conditions that will inform the way we communicate, our general expectations of each other and how we can resolve problems should they arise.  

Each specific Piece of Work will have its own agreement, because each Piece of Work is unique and we have to agree to terms and conditions that work for all of us to ensure each Piece of Work meets all our expectations.  These agreements, either in the form of a proposal or a price quote/estimate, will specify the terms and conditions that apply to the specific Piece of Work.  

The terms and conditions applied to the agreements of specific Pieces of Work operate in conjunction with this Agreement.  Where there is a conflict, the terms agreed to in this Agreement will take precedence. 

​

What do both parties agree to

You: 

• You have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of yourself, your company and/or your organization. 

• You agree to give us the assets and information we need to complete any and all Pieces of Work. You agree to provide these to us when we ask for it and in the formats we request it in. 

• You agree to review our work and provide feedback and approval in a timely manner to achieve our mutual deadlines.

• You agree to make payments as agreed to in each agreement for each specific Piece of Work.

Us: 

• We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we will complete each Piece of Work in a professional and timely manner. 

• We endeavour to meet every deadline we agree to.

• For each Piece of Work, we allocate a fair amount of time to investigate the information you will provide to us and any additional resources we deem fit.  We take our initial investigations seriously: we want to ensure that everything we need to create the development you need is in place to ensure the development stays on point and on budget.  If we find anything that would lead to a material change in the strategy and cost we are submitting to you here, we will inform you as soon as possible to discuss the best possible solution going forward.  

​​

Confidentiality

We agree that any proprietary, sensitive and/or privileged information received or obtained during the normal execution of this Agreement or any service we provide, which concerns the personal, financial or other affairs of you, the Client, will be treated by us in full confidence and will not be revealed to any other person, firm or organisation.

First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you, the Client, provide to us, Threed, are either owned by you or that you have permission to use them.

Provided you’ve paid for the work and that this Agreement hasn’t been terminated, we, Threed, will assign all intellectual property rights to you, the Client, as follows:

You’ll own the website we design for you as well as the visual elements that we create for it. We’ll give you source files and finished files and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. You own all intellectual property rights of text, images, site specification and data you provided unless someone else owns them.

Displaying our work

​

Payment details and schedules are specified per Piece of Work and agreed to.

All proposals and price quotes/estimates are quoted in USD and payments made to us should be done using our suggested payment method per piece of work.  Where you elect to pay our invoice via wire transfers/electronic payments, you agree to pay all charges associated with international transfers of funds so that we receive our full invoiced fees.

We reserve the right to charge interest on any overdue invoice at a rate of 5% per month, calculated daily.

The services that we offer

The service offerings described below provide an indication of the types of services we can offer you.  

Each service we offer needs to be tailored to your specific needs and we will issue an agreement for each service as a Piece of Work.  These agreements, either in the form of a proposal or a price quote/estimate, will specify the terms and conditions that apply to that Piece of Work.   

​

Design

We can design websites, SAAS and other software applications.  The terms and conditions will be specified for each Piece of Work and agreed to. 

We create look-and-feel designs and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create these iteratively to meet your requirements.  We may use visuals to indicate a creative direction (colour, texture and typography) and these should not be viewed as final designs.  We use a website builder which compiles down to HTML and CSS to enable this design process.

You will have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. We use various sharing methods, including Google Drive, e-mail, development sites, etc to ensure regular contact during the design process.

Testing

Testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different sized screens.

Maintenance and Security

We are not liable for any hacking or intrusion to the site or CMS used.  

Maintenance, backups, or security configurations/updates after the final design is completed is important for the integrity of your website.  

The terms and conditions will be specified for each Piece of Work and agreed to.

​

Search engine optimization (SEO)

The web pages that we develop are accessible to all search engines, however we do not guarantee specific performance of your website’s search engine ranking.  

We can provide comprehensive and monthly SEO support.  The terms and conditions will be specified for each Piece of Work and agreed to.

​

Changes and revisions

We believe in a quick development cycle through clear communication to ensure we have a good understanding of your requirements and to avoid time and money wastage through constant revision.  The quicker a service is delivered, the more likely we are to meet your requirements.

We accommodate a specified amount of revisions for each Piece of Work, as specified in that piece of work’s agreement.  However, should you need or wish to make changes or add something new, we are happy to discuss these with you and adjust our agreement for that specific Piece of Work.  Please do expect additions or substantial changes to have a cost impact for you.

​

Legal

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience.

That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the total fees payable under this Agreement and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if we’ve advised you of them.

If, at any stage, you change your mind about what you want to be delivered or are not happy with the direction our work is taking, we can terminate our Agreement or renegotiate the terms and conditions.  Please note that you will still need to pay us in full for the time we’ve spent working with you until that point.

Neither of us can transfer this Agreement to anyone else without the other’s permission.

We both agree that we will adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in relation to our activities under this Agreement and not cause the other to breach any relevant laws or regulations.
