  • Any use or purchase of Mr Fire Limited’ services means the Client has accepted these terms and conditions in full.
  • It isn’t necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions in order for them to apply, however Mr Fire Limited require that the client sign an acceptance to these terms and conditions and the contents of the quote.
  • These terms and conditions are available on Mr Fire Limited’ website.

Quotations, Charges and Payments

  • Any charges for services to be provided by Mr Fire Limited are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via email.
  • Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days and Mr Fire Limited reserves the right not to honour any quotation after expiry of the 30 days.

    • 1/3 (third) deposit in advance of commencement of the project.
    • Second 1/3 (third) at the halfway point of the project.
    • Final 1/3 (third) plus any requested additions before the website goes live, or if the Client puts the project ‘on hold’ for more than 30 days. If the Client fails to provide information required to continue the project within 30 days of Mr Fire Limited’ request, the project will be considered as ‘on hold’ and the final amount will be billed.
  • If the client wishes to change the design of website project after ‘design sign off’, an additional charge will be payable. The amount will be quoted for by Mr Fire Limited and is dependent on the level of changes and current stage of the project. If the design changes are significant and the supplied content has been added to more than half the total number of pages, the charge would be 90% of the project.
  • If the design changes are significant and only the home page has been coded, the charge would be 50% of the project. Supplied content includes the first draft or content taken from previous websites.
  • If monthly payments are agreed, they must be paid on the same day each month until the total is reached, regardless of the stage of the project.

  • If additional services are required that are not expressly written in the agreed quote, additional costs will be agreed and charged as extra.
  • Any verbal or written agreement by the Client will be considered as consent. The Client may be asked to confirm by email that they agree to the additional cost.
  • Payments are due within fourteen (14) days of the invoice. Accounts that have not been settled within fourteen (14) days of ‘project sign off’ will incur a late payment charge of 10% of the amount outstanding. The Client may also be charged statutory interest pursuant to the late payment legislation.
  • If the project is online, full publication of any web content may take place only after full payment has been received. Any material previously published may be removed if payment is not received. When this occurs a minimum charge of £60 will be required to have the online content restored.

Commencement, Progression, Lead Times and Sign Off

  • Mr Fire Limited will commence work on a project on the agreed start date once a signed quotation and the full deposit amount due have both been received from the Client.

  • At the completion of the project, the Client will be asked to provide ‘project sign off’. The Client can provide ‘project sign off’ by acknowledging the website is ready to go live. At this time the remainder of the amount due will become payable. An invoice will be provided.
  • If ‘project sign off’ confirmation is not received from the Client within seven (7) days of the date of notification from Mr Fire Limited, ‘project sign off’ will be deemed to have been provided and the project approved by the Client.
  • If at ‘sign off’ the Client wishes amendments to be made to the project (within the remit of the specification document originally provided by Mr Fire Limited), all details must be provided to Mr Fire Limited in a single email or document clearly outlining the amendments to be made. This email or document must be provided by the Client within 48 hours of the date of notification from Mr Fire Limited.
  • Mr Fire Limited will not accept any further amendments to the project in addition to those detailed in the email or document provided by the Client, unless the client is willing to pay additional fees for these additional services.
  • Mr Fire Limited will also not accept amendments to the project after 48 hours have elapsed from the date of notification from Mr Fire Limited. Any further requests for changes may be liable to additional fees to be confirmed depending on the exact nature of the work.

Payment

  • Payment will be due within fourteen (14) days of ‘sign off’. Accounts that have not been settled within fourteen (14) days of ‘project sign off’ will incur a late payment charge of 10% of the amount outstanding. The Client may also be charged statutory interest pursuant to the late payment legislation.
  • If the project is a website or other online material, any publication may take place only after full payment has been received, regardless of any outstanding work Mr Fire Limited has agreed to do in the future.

Default

Termination

  • To terminate a project the Client must provide a termination request in writing.

If not all pages have been added, the project completion will be calculated by the amount of pages added containing at least some of the content provided by the Client. Content provided by the Client includes first draft content and content taken from an existing website.
