The following terms and conditions refer to Spaghetti Agency Limited (“The Agency”) and its relationship with its clients and potential clients. “The Client” or “You” shall be any person, company or entity who enters into a contract with The Agency. The Agency’s estimate/quote/proposal and any subsequent contract entered into will be subject exclusively to the Terms and Conditions set out below.

By contracting The Agency to work for You, You acknowledge that You agree to be bound by this version of these Terms and Conditions.

General Terms & Conditions of Business

1. The Contract

   1. This Agreement takes effect on the date on which You order services. Acceptance of these terms is an absolute condition of the Client requesting work. An order constitutes acceptance of all our Terms and Conditions.
   2. Headings, numbering and summaries are included in this Agreement for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
   3. These Terms & Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that You seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
   4. No addition, alteration, substitution or waiver of these terms and conditions will be valid unless expressly accepted in writing by The Agency or a person authorised to sign on its behalf.

2. Quotes & Prices

   1. A job is confirmed when The Agency receives an email/call from You stating clearly that You are commissioning the work, or You click on ‘accept’ from an electronic proposal. If You are contracting on behalf of any group of individuals other than yourself alone, or on behalf of a company, You warrant that You are authorised to enter into a contract on behalf of that group of individuals or company.
   2. All quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of submission.
   3. Quotes are based on the information provided by the Client, including but not limited to detail on quantities, structure, scope and functionality. Any quote/estimate may therefore be subject to change should the client’s requirements change at any time.
   4. Projects are usually agreed on a price-per-project basis unless otherwise specified. For copywriting or graphic design work, three drafts (the first one and two rounds of editing) are included in the price quoted. Substantial alterations, additional revisions, changes, and extensions to the project are charged at an hourly rate. Copy and design corrections must be advised within 30 days of submission of first drafts and or proofs. After this period, they become chargeable at the hourly rate.
   5. Unless otherwise stated, photography, stock images, print, delivery, and VAT will be charged extra.
   6. Quotes/estimates are based on the Agency’s current costs of production and unless otherwise agreed are subject to amendment on or at any time after acceptance to meet any rise or fall in such costs.
   7. Any estimates given by The Agency as to the time of completion or performance of its services (whether completion of the whole or a part of those services) shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence.
   8. Any stated timescale is reliant upon the client providing all required information/copy/images within the time set out at project initiation.

3. Supply of Services

   1. Spaghetti Agency Limited shall provide its services diligently and faithfully and shall use reasonable endeavours to promote the client’s interests or train the client to do so.
   2. The Agency reserves the right to sub-contract the fulfilment of an order or any part thereof.
   3. The Agency gives no warranty or undertaking as to the effectiveness or success of creative work, reports, plans or consultancy or as to the achievement of any of the objectives therein or as to the consequences of implementing any recommendations contained therein. The client accepts that it has full responsibility and The Agency has no responsibility for the success or failure of its products and for achieving sales targets or other measures of commercial performance.
   4. Should the Client supply text, artwork or images, the Agency is not obliged to edit, check or guarantee the correctness thereof in any way whatsoever, and the end product shall be made at the entire risk of the Client.
   5. For graphic design work, any images supplied electronically will be incorporated into designs without charge provided that they are of suitable quality. Images sourced from external image libraries may incur additional licence/royalty charges payable by the Client.
   6. Whilst some email and telephone support may be provided as part of the Service, excessive use of this support will be charged at an hourly rate. You will be notified when this becomes relevant.
   7. Any additional work or variations to the proposal will only be undertaken upon acceptance of a separate agreement with all costs to be agreed by both parties, in writing, before work commences.

4. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

   1. SEO is a long-term strategy which is why We recommend a minimum 6 month term on each campaign to allow The Agency to achieve maximum results.
   2. If the baseline rankings at campaign start are not in the top 500 in Google then improvements in rankings may be achieved more slowly.
   3. The Agency cannot control any updates to Google’s core algorithm that may cause fluctuations during the SEO Campaign and may mean the ranking increases come at a slower pace.
   4. Any recommendations from the initial site audit not implemented by You at the start of the campaign may lead to the campaign as a whole not being as effective overall so The Agency cannot take any responsibility for this.
   5. Many of the backlinks We create as an ongoing part of the campaign are not meant for humans. They are re purely meant for indexing by ‘Google Bot’ to pass link equity back to your site.
   6. We cannot be held responsible if the SEO work is destroyed, in part or in full, knowingly or unknowingly because You, or another party has made changes to your website or content without prior consultation with the Agency.

5. Website Hosting and Email Terms & Conditions

   1. The Agency offers website hosting and database hosting services through the use of third party providers and is subject to requirements set out in these Terms and Conditions and any other relevant terms and conditions, policies and notices which may be applicable to the supply of hosting services.
   2. Below is a summary of the main points covered in these terms:

6. Website and Email Content and Use

   1. Domain names are registered for a minimum term of 12 months from the date of registration. Should the client request that The Agency cancels a domain name or transfers control of a domain to another registrar before the end of the minimum term, the client’s remaining payments for the domain name will become due immediately.
   2. The Agency makes no representation and gives no warranty as to the accuracy or quality of information received by any person via the Server and We shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any data stored on the Server.

   4. You are entirely responsible for any civil or criminal liability that is incurred as a result of any use of your web pages. If You post or allow to be posted a defamatory or libellous message, it is You that will be deemed to have published it and You shall be liable for the consequences of it.
   5. The Agency and its suppliers reserve the right to remove any material which are deemed inappropriate from your website without notice.
