4.2 If the Supplier's performance of any of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Customer or failure by the Customer to perform any relevant obligation (Customer Default):

(a) without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the Supplier shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations in each case to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays the Supplier's performance of any of its obligations;

(b) the Supplier shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from the Supplier's failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause 4.2; and

The Customer shall pay the Supplier in full for any such additional services and products required at the Supplier’s current fee and price structure as listed on the Supplier’s Website at the time that additional services are required.

5.4 Acceptance of the Site shall be deemed to have taken place upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

6.3 Fonts – the Supplier uses Google WebFonts and Adobe Typekit for fonts. These are included in the Charges. Fonts from other Suppliers / custom fonts are chargeable.

6.4 Illustrations - some illustrations are available on Adobe Stock, and those are included in the Charges. Custom illustrations are chargeable.

6.5 The Supplier does not provide FTP or cPanel details to Customers.

6.6 The Supplier’s bespoke development process accommodates for bespoke HTML/CSS responsive layouts. If the Customer requires complex jQuery / visual effects then these may be chargeable at the discretion of the Supplier.

6.7 During a bespoke design process, the Customer is entitled to a maximum of 3 different design concepts. If, however, the Customer requests that the Supplier makes amendments / refinements to any single concept, and the Supplier spends time on these amendments, then any further concepts will be chargeable at the Supplier’s daily fee rate as listed on the Supplier’s Website at the time that additional services are required.

6.8 In the event that the Customer shall require any changes, modifications or variations to the Site once Acceptance has taken place ("Additional Works") then the Supplier and the Customer shall work together to agree a new Specification (“Additional Work Specification”) and the Charges for such Additional Works prior to any work commencing. Any maintenance or minor modifications shall be carried out after Acceptance in accordance with the Supplier’s daily fee rate as listed on the Supplier’s Website at the time that additional services are required in accordance with a timetable agreed with the Supplier. If no hosting or maintenance agreement is in place with the Supplier, then there will be a minimum charge of £150.00 plus VAT to investigate any issues which may arise at any point in the future.

6.9 When the Contract comes into existence between the Supplier and the Customer, the Customer is deemed to have given the Supplier permission to showcase the project in its portfolio and for credit to the Supplier to be visible on the live Site. The Site credits will mention the Supplier – e.g. "Made with love by Bold". Should the Customer request that the credits be removed from the Site, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge a fixed fee in accordance with the current fee and price structure as listed on the Supplier’s Website at the time of removal.

7. Hosting

7.1 Whilst the Supplier’s data centre offers a 100% uptime service-level agreement, if (for any reason) there is any downtime, payments are still due in full.

8. Logo Design

8.1 During the logo design process, the Supplier will accommodate for 2 sets of 3 logos. Once these have been presented, the Supplier will then accommodate for 2 rounds of amendments to the Customer’s chosen preferred design. Further variations will be chargeable.

9. Amendments

9.1 Whilst the Supplier will accommodate wherever possible for required amendments, the nature of the pre-built options is that they are a much quicker solution for customers. With this in mind, any changes outside of scope (text, imagery, colours) may be chargeable at the discretion of the Supplier.

10. Charges and payment

10.1 The Charges for the Services shall be calculated on the following basis:

(a) the Supplier shall charge the Customer as outlined in the Specification;

(b) should extra work not included in the Specification be requested by the Customer, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge an hourly rate as outlined in the Supplier’s current fee and price structure as listed on the Supplier’s Website at the time that additional services are required; and

(c) the Supplier shall be entitled to charge the Customer for any expenses reasonably incurred by the individuals whom the Supplier engages in connection with the Services including travelling expenses, hotel costs, subsistence and any associated expenses, and for the cost of services provided by third parties and required by the Supplier for the performance of the Services, and for the cost of any materials.

10.2 Once the Contract comes into existence between the Supplier and the Customer, resource is allocated to the project and therefore the full amount of the Charges are due based on the payment terms agreed in the Order.

10.3 If the Specification states that payment is due on completion, this shall be the time that the Supplier informs the Customer that all work by the Supplier has been completed. For avoidance of doubt, this is irrespective of whether the Customer has uploaded content to the Site.

10.4 Where the Contract is structured to enable the Customer to recover part or the whole of the Charges through third party grants or funding and the Customer fails to provide the Materials in accordance with the Specification then the Customer acknowledges that they will pay the full amount of the Charges in accordance with the Order.

10.5 The Supplier reserves the right to increase fixed or ongoing monthly costs at any point in time. The Supplier also reserves the right to automatically increase any ongoing monthly costs by way of direct debit with prior written notice.

10.6 The Supplier shall invoice the Customer as per the agreed terms in the signed Specification. If the Customer has set up a direct debit, the Supplier shall take payments via direct debit in accordance with invoices issued.

10.7 The Customer shall pay each invoice submitted by the Supplier:

(a) on receipt or in accordance with any credit terms agreed by the Supplier and confirmed in writing to the Customer; and

(b) in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier, and

time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract

10.8 All amounts payable by the Customer under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (VAT). Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by the Supplier to the Customer, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Supplier, pay to the Supplier such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.

10.9 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting the Supplier's remedies under clause 14, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 10.8 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

10.10 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting the Supplier's remedies under clause 14, the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for all amounts due under the Contract irrespective of whether the Services outlined in the Specification have been completed in full.

10.11 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to the Supplier under the Contract or under a separate Contract with the Supplier by the due date, then, without limiting the Supplier’s remedies under clause 14, the Supplier shall be entitled to suspend hosting services to the Customer’s Site.

10.12 All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

10.13 The Customer and the signatory of all contracts and proposals on behalf of the Customer shall be liable for the Charges on a joint and several basis.

11. Intellectual property rights

11.1 All Intellectual Property Rights in or arising out of or in connection with the Services (other than Intellectual Property Rights in any Materials provided by the Customer) shall be owned by the Supplier.

11.3 The Customer shall not sub-license, assign or otherwise transfer the rights granted in clause 11.2.

(c) on termination by the Customer pursuant to clause 14.2, the Supplier shall return all Materials to the Customer and shall provide to the Customer an electronic copy of the Site (including all content of the Site).

The Supplier shall not be liable for any issues relating to the Site once hosting has been transferred to another Supplier.

16. General

16.1 Force majeure. Neither party shall be in breach of the Contract nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under the Contract if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control.

(i) identified as confidential at the time of disclosure; or

(ii) ought reasonably to be considered confidential given the nature of the information or the circumstances of disclosure.

(b) Each party may disclose the other party's confidential information:

(i) to its employees, officers, representatives, contractors, subcontractors or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of carrying out the party's obligations under the Contract.

A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

16.7 Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this agreement.
