Provision of Materials
You agree to provide us with the specific copy, images & information we require in order to
create your product, or to advise us as to where we can locate such materials. We accept
no responsibility for your site not being put live/product being completed by a specific date
if we are unable to secure necessary and/or suitable information and/or materials from
you. If you cannot supply the information you wish to feature in your product, we will do
what we can to obtain it, but we accept no responsibility for errors, omissions or
discrepancies which may be present on the final product, as these may arise through our
lack of specialist knowledge regarding the content of your product. The time taken to
compile the data, as well as any time required to correct errors, omissions or
discrepancies which have arisen through your not providing us with adequate materials,
will be charged to you at our standard rate. We accept no responsibility for the delay
caused in providing you with the final product as a result of your supplying us with
insufficient or unsuitable materials. This does not apply if the additional cost could have
been avoided but for unreasonable delay on the part of Drawn in Digital in ascertaining the

unsuitability of the materials with which you provide us. Original copies should not be sent
to Drawn in Digital. Specific copy, images & information are not the responsibility of Drawn
in Digital to store. Materials supplied will be archived for a maximum of 6 months after
project completion. If specific copy, images & information are to be returned a request
must be made in writing when supplying specific copy, images & information. Where you
supply or specify materials, we will take every care to secure the best results in the
finished product, but we accept no responsibility for imperfect work caused by defects in or
unsuitability of materials so sup- plied or specified.
Quote for Provision of services
All projects will be given a written quote of the cost in advance of the project commencing.
The quote will be an estimate based on how long we expect the project to take, in terms of
hours or days. It will also include the expected cost of bought-in and/or subcontracted
goods and services. Unless we have agreed a fixed fee in advance, our work will be
charged out on an hourly/daily basis. The final cost of a project will sometimes vary from
the original quote supplied for a variety of reasons including;
Changes made by the client to the project that we deem to be significantly different from
the original brief.
The client delaying, defaulting, or otherwise significantly disrupting the project and its
agreed timescales.
Unexpected increases in our overheads or expenses.
Circumstances occurring that are not reasonably within our control.
We will advise you in writing if this occurs before charging further costs.
In connection with your project, we will charge you for any materials and services we buy
in from outside suppliers. For most bought-in goods or services, we will charge you at cost
plus a minimum 17.5 per cent handling fee. The same percentage will be applied to
incidental costs such as taxis and deliveries.
Print Specific Terms
Print Proof Agreement
If a Drawn in Digital representative has provided you with a proof, your signing this
agreement confirms that you agree to the design & contents of the printed document as
depicted on the proof. By signing this agreement, you absolve Drawn in Digital of all
liability for any errors, omissions or discrepancies which may be present on the proof.
Once you have signed this agreement & proof if supplied, you are not able to make any
changes to the final product, nor are you able to hold Drawn in Digital responsible for
anything you are unhappy with. This contract revokes your right to take any kind of action
against Drawn in Digital for any aspect of the work with which you are later dissatisfied.
Agreeing to this contract means that, as long as the finished product is as discussed with a
Drawn in Digital representative & consistent with the proof if supplied, you must pay in full
for the work. This fact applies whether or not you later take issue with any aspect of the
product. These terms are final & non-negotiable.
Making Changes After Proof Stage (Print Only)
If a change is requested, we will do everything we can to make the correction before the
printing starts, but we cannot guarantee this. We accept no responsibility, under any
Copyright Drawn in Digital Ltd, 2012 3
circumstances, for any mistakes present on the completed work, as the signing-off of a
proof absolves us of all liability (see “Proof Agreement” above). Once the proof is signed
off or agreed, whether verbally or via email, we incur a film/plate(s) charge & this is passed
on to you as part of the total charge (see “Price Breakdown”). Any changes made after a
proof is signed off will result in a further film/plate(s) charge.
Print Quality (Print Only)
Every effort will be made to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on customerʼs
work but because of the nature of the processes involved, Drawn in Digital cannot
guarantee an exact match in colour or texture between any materials with which you
supply us, & the printed article.
Quantity Supplied (Print Only)
Every effort is made to produce the exact quantity of items ordered. However, some
variation is inherent in the print process & so you accept that minor variations in quantity
are possible. These do not affect the price charged.

the case of non-delivery, within 42 days of dispatch). All other claims must be made in

respect of any claim unless the aforementioned requirements have been complied with
except in any particular case where the customer proves that (i) it was not possible to
comply with the requirements & (ii) advice (where required) was given & the claim made
as soon as reasonably possible.
Standing Material (Print Only)

used by Drawn in Digital during the production process remain the property of Drawn in

Website’s & CGI Terms
Website Updates, Site Maintenance & CGI Changes

in the form of extra pages, additional functions, or more information than is already
available on your site, this must be paid for as a new job.
Hosting & Email Accounts
No clients or third parties will be granted FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access to our
servers or any of our affiliates. Where a site with or without CMS (Content Management
System) licence & functionality is purchased, hosting is charged from £100 plus VAT per
annum. One POP email account is provided, all additional email addresses will be
forwarded to this or another email address which must be provided by the client. Drawn in
Digital take no responsibility for any loss of business through non retrieval of emails,
bounced messages or undelivered electronic mail. Drawn in Digital take no responsibility
for the content of emails including attachments & viruses. Cancellation of any website will
result in the withdrawal of the hosting package immediately. All hosting packages are nonrefundable.
Should the client request that a domain name purchased by Drawn in Digital
on their behalf be transferred to another host, a release fee of £50 + VAT will be charged.
Website hosting will be renewed automatically as part of the initial contract, but a notice
period of not less than 14 days will be given at the time invoicing. Clients must cancel their
renewal in writing within this notice period, otherwise all charges will become payable &
cancellation will NOT be accepted after this date, as monies will have been paid by Drawn
in Digital on the clientʼs behalf.
Systems
Any systems, including eCommerce & Content Management System, provided to the client
remain the intellectual property of Drawn in Digital Ltd. & as such no access is given to the
source code or database schema. Systems cannot be transferred away from our provided
hosting solution. E-commerce/CMS systems will be provided as an empty shop/site, &
training will be given to the client(s) on using the system. A delay in the client populating
the e-shop/site will not be accepted as a reason for delayed payment as, once it is ready
x
to be populated & training has been given, Drawn in Digitalʼs work is done. Drawn in
Digital offers a service to populate the clientʼs shop site/CMS on their behalf, & prices are
available on request for this service. This does not include any photography, & where
clients feel unable to create their own imagery of products, a photographer must be
sought. Drawn in Digital are happy to recommend independent photographers where
necessary, but the contract will be between the client & said photographer. Additional
training & support packages are available, & again the prices for these services are
available on request.
Bespoke Systems
In the case of a bespoke solution (website), upon settlement of all outstanding monies due
to Drawn in Digital for the development/design of such solution, full copyright & title will
pass to the client.
Copyright Drawn in Digital Ltd, 2012 5
Warranty
Drawn in Digital guarantees all of its websiteʼs / bespoke software solutions provided to
clients insofar as any faults or bugs will be rectified within a reasonable period of time so
as not to interrupt the service provided by clients to their clients/users for an unacceptable
time. Any software provided by Drawn in Digital proving to be faulty or defective will be
repaired/replaced free of charge to the working standard equivalent to launch.
Website & CGI Proofs
Once a client has agreed a look & feel proof & instructed Drawn in Digital to proceed to
build, any subsequent changes in style or design requested by the client will be charged
for at the appropriate hourly rate.
Exceptions (Web)
We accept that certain details regarding your business, such as telephone numbers &
email addresses, sometimes change, & that the details placed in a proof are liable to
change. To this end we will amend smaller details such as these as part of our
construction package. This policy applies throughout your contract with Drawn in Digital: if
a minor detail needs to be amended, we are more than happy to do so, free of charge.
Larger changes, such as the creation of a new page or introduction of a new feature on
your site, or the sourcing/changing of images are not covered by this policy & must be paid
for.
Payment Terms (Web)
You agree to pay a deposit of 50% of the final bill immediately. When we have finished
building your site, we will put it live on our own server under a temporary name which we
will give you. After we have informed you of the siteʼs location on our server, you have 48
hours to view the site & ask for any amendments to be made. After the 48-hour viewing
period has elapsed, the invoice will be issued. Apart from minor alterations or transfers
onto other domain names – our work on the site is then complete. Once the bill is settled in
full, we will put the site live on its own domain name, or – if you have not yet selected one –
it will remain live on our server. If you possess your own domain name, we will initiate
whatever process is necessary to put the site live once the bill is settled. You are not
permitted to point your own domain name to the test site on the Drawn in Digital server. If
this is found to be the case, we reserve the right to remove the site from our server. All
deposits are non-refundable. All invoice payments are required within 30 days of invoice
receipt.
