  1. Authorization

    ‘Client’ is engaging above named ‘Provider’, a sole-proprietorship, as an independent contractor for the specific project of developing a web site. The ‘Client’ hereby authorizes ‘Provider’ access and “write permissions” to all directories and files of this account.

    Design Services

    Minor updates and changes to web site at no charge for one month beginning when web site is transferred to the internet for public viewing. Minor changes are limited to: changing wording, or making general design or text corrections. ‘Provider’ hourly rates will apply to retyping of lengthy text, adding new text, adding new pictures, adding new pages, or any other major changes not included in purchase.

    Quotes provided to prospects will be honored for 30 days. A new quote will then be provided upon request. Contracts that have been written, but not signed by the client will only be accepted within 30 days of the delivery date. A new contract may be drawn up upon request.

    Fees & Payment

    1. All fees payable in Canadian Dollars.
    2. Service costs are variable and based on individual projects.
    3. A down payment or full payment may be required prior to any work beginning.
    4. Payments online will be accepted via PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

    Refunds

    Uneek Designs requires a deposit before beginning any project. A request to terminate services must be presented in writing. If we fail to complete your project within 60 days of the start date AND you have turned in all content, images and information requested by us, you will recieve a full refund within 30 days of your written request. Otherwise, please follow the refund terms below.

    Refund Amounts will be calculated in the following ways:
    1. A cancellation fee of 20% (twenty percent) of the total deposit paid will be retained for projects that have been booked, but cancelled prior to the start date.
    2. A cancellation fee of 30% (thirty percent) of the total deposit paid will be retained for projects that have been started and are in the design process.
    3. A design fee of 50% (sixty percent) will be retained on projects where the design portion of the development has been completed, and the client has accepted the design, but whereas the development process of the project has not begun. (Upon payment, the design will be released to the client for use, see copyright & ownership clause).
    4. Projects that are in the development process at the time the request for termination is received will be billed at the hourly rate of $35 per hour. Should the amount of time put into your project be greater than the deposit you have paid, you will be billed the difference. Upon payment of these fees, the work completed up to the time of termination will be released to the client.
    Refunds will be processed within 30 business days of request by the client, if there is a refund amount due based on the terms above.
