Service Agreements & Quotations

All clients are required to sign a service agreement and a quotation for all services, whether one-off or monthly services.

Each individual agreement will lay out the deliverables, time frames and client specifics.

This agreement is between Lorna Middleton (“the consultant”) and the client (“the client”) for the provision of the specified project in this proposal. This contract and the associated pricing are valid for 14 days from the date of the quotation.  By agreeing to their contract, the client agrees to the following:

  • Provide access to any digital services required, which includes, but is not limited to, website, website files and database, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Search Console etc.
  • Provide relevant information, content and imagery for the provision of the service when requested.
  • Provide feedback for any work produced.
  • Must respond to requests and communication in a timely manner.
  • If any one-off project overruns the schedule due to the client not fulfilling their obligations, they must pay the total amount of the project on the agreed initial schedule unless otherwise agreed.

Cancellations

The client can cancel a one-off service at any time and for any reason by informing us in writing, providing no work has been completed between signing for the services and the cancellation request. If any services have been completed before the cancellation request, the client will be responsible for any cost or contract term enforced.  All time spent on one-off services is recorded and will be calculated and charged at the hourly rate of £50.00 to determine any costs that are payable regardless of any incomplete project. 

At the consultant’s discretion, the consultant may cancel a service at any time if: 

  • Any invoice goes unpaid. 
  • Anyone from the client’s organisation or related organisations is abusive towards the consultant or third-party suppliers of the consultant. 
  • All reasonable attempts to contact the client go unanswered for 28 days or more.  
  • Any one-off project is incomplete after 12 months because the client has been uncommunicative or has not provided information to ensure the project is completed on time. 
  • The client goes out of business or into liquidation.  

Any service provided by the Company may be subject to cancellation fees, as outlined here: 

  • Existing Contract Fee – If the client cancels a service before the end of their contract term, the client must pay the total amount that the contract is valued at. 
  • Supplier cancellation fee – If a service relies on a third-party supplier, this supplier may require a cancellation fee for termination. If this is the case, this fee will be charged at cost by the consultant and will be payable by the client upon termination. 
  • Third-party purchase – If services or goods have been purchased for the provision of the service, the cost will be charged by the consultant and will be payable by the client upon termination.

Ownership of work

The Consultant agrees to assign to the Client, without any further payment, all rights known as “intellectual property rights” (such as copyrights or rights in designs) that arise in relation to any work prepared by the Consultant in the course of carrying out the Services, and any ideas or inventions or innovations they come up within the course of carrying out the Services. This applies to whatever form those works take.  These rights are assigned only upon the consultant receiving full payment for the provided services. Unless otherwise agreed, the client agrees the consultant may use the work as an example in their portfolio and for advertising.

Changes to scope

The client can request changes to the scope of each project at any point, which may result in a change in the payment terms and/or deliverables. If this is the case, a new proposal must be signed to provide the consultant and the client with assurances of these changes.
