These terms and conditions are intended to form a binding contract between ‘Mack & Me’ and ‘The Client’ as governed by the law of England and Wales.

Mack & Me reserves the right to refuse to construct a website, design or multimedia which we maybe judged as unfit due to content or otherwise. This includes, but is not limited by, sites containing adult oriented material such as pornography, sites which promote hatred towards persons belonging to any ethnic group, religion or sexual orientation and sites which infringe copyright or are contrary to UK laws.

All material, both text and images supplied by The Client and used in the construction of The Client’s website or multimedia project, will remain The Client’s property. All such material will be assumed to be the property of The Client and free to use without fear of breach of copyright laws.

Mack & Me cannot take responsibility for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by The Client. Mack & Me reserves the right to refuse any material of a copyrighted nature unless adequate proof is given of permission to use such material.

Mack & Me does not undertake to maintain or update The Client’s website as part of the design commission. If The Client wishes Mack & Me to maintain or update a website as a separate commission, Mack & Me will negotiate with The Client a maintenance contract appropriate to the amount of work required.

Mack & Me works on a PC and makes every effort to design pages which display acceptably in the most popular current browsers on PC’s, but cannot accept responsibility for pages which do not display acceptably on other operating systems or in new versions of browsers released after pages have been designed.

Mack & Me will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.

Any design work, website, graphics, multimedia and any programming code remain the property of Mack & Me until all outstanding accounts are paid in full.

If at any point during the website development The Client wishes to cancel, they may do so but will be invoiced an amount that Mack & Me judges to be proportional to the amount of work completed.

If, during the website development, The Client does not supply the content required in order to complete the commission within a reasonable amount of time, Mack & Me will consider that The Client wishes to cancel the commission and The Client will be invoiced for the work completed so far.

Once any work has been designed and completed the final balance of payment is then due in accordance with Mack & Me payment terms. There are no exceptions to this, i.e. If The Client decides they no longer want a website, they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done. Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary.


PAYMENT TERMS

Mack & Me expects payment by cheque, cash or bank transfer within 14 days from the invoice date. Mack & Me will negotiate a reduced hourly rate with The Client on the understanding that The Client pays in full within 14 days from the date on the invoice. If an invoice is not paid in full within 14 days from the invoice date The Client will incur the standard hourly rate for the job carried out.

Any payment returned by the bank will incur a £30 administration charge. This will be invoiced and will be added to the total outstanding debt owed by The Client.

Mack & Me will contact The Client via email and or telephone to remind them of such payments if they are not received when due.

If invoices are not settled or Mack & Me has not been contacted regarding the delay, access to the related website may be denied and web pages removed.


PHOTOGRAPHY

Under law, the copyright of all photography produced and supplied by Mack & Me will remain to Mack & Me and must not be reproduced without written permission unless there is an agreement that assigns the copyright to another party.
