3. These terms and conditions are available on ICAAL’s website.

Charges

4. Charges for services to be provided by ICAAL are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via email. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. ICAAL reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after expiry of the 30 days.

8. If additional images, designs or services are required, the costs will be agreed and charged as extra.

Project Progression, Lead Times and Sign Off

9. ICAAL will only commence work on a project once a deposit of 50% of the total amount due has been received from the Client.

10. The Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid ICAAL with progressing any project in a satisfactory and expedient manner.

11. The Client agrees to provide ICAAL with a designated email address for the purposes of communication regarding any project or services and sign off thereof.

12. The Client agrees to provide ICAAL with all the required information to complete a project in advance to ensure that work is carried out to the project lead time.

13. The Client acknowledges that all completion dates and lead times provided by ICAAL regarding a project are advisory only and that ICAAL cannot guarantee project completion dates or lead times.

14. At the completion of the project, the Client will be asked to provide ‘sign off’. At this time the remainder of the amount due will become payable.

15. If ‘sign off’ confirmation is not received from the Client within seven (7) days of the date of notification from ICAAL, ‘sign off’ will be deemed to have been provided and the project approved by the Client.

16. If at ‘sign off’ the Client wishes amendments to be made to the project (within the remit of the specification document originally provided by ICAAL), all details must be provided to ICAAL in a single email or document clearly outlining the amendments to be made. This email or document must be provided by the Client within 48 hours of the date of notification from ICAAL.

17. ICAAL will not accept any further amendments to the project in addition to those detailed in the email or document provided by the Client, unless the Client is willing to pay additional fees for these additional services (POA). ICAAL will also not accept amendments to the project after 48 hours have elapsed from the date of notification from ICAAL. Any further requests for changes may be liable to additional fees to be confirmed depending on the exact nature of the work.

18. If the Client does not contact ICAAL for a period of six (6) months after a project has commenced, ICAAL will deem the project to be cancelled. No refunds will be given for any payments made by the Client. After a period of six (6) months from commencement of a project, any work that has been created in relation to the project may be deleted by ICAAL.

Balance Payment

19. Payment will be due within seven (7) days of ‘sign off’.

17. Accounts that have not been settled within seven (7) days of sign off will incur a late payment charge of 10% of the amount outstanding. The Client may also be charged statutory interest pursuant to the late payment legislation.

20. If the project is online, full publication of any web content may take place only after full payment has been received. Any material previously published may be removed if payment is not received. When this occurs a minimum charge of £50 + VAT will be required to have the online content restored.

Default

21. The Client’s account shall be considered default if it remains unpaid for 7 days from the date of the ‘sign off’ notification from ICAAL, or following a returned cheque. ICAAL shall be considered entitled to remove ICAAL’s and/or the Client’s material from any and all computer systems, until the amount due has been fully paid. This includes any and all unpaid monies due for services, including, but not limited to, hosting, domain registration, search engine submission, design and maintenance, sub-contractors, printers, photographers and libraries.

22. Removal of such materials does not relieve the Client of its obligation to pay the due amount. Clients whose accounts become default agree to pay ICAAL reasonable legal expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.

Copyrights and Trademarks

23. By supplying artwork, text, images and other data to ICAAL for inclusion in the Client’s website or other medium, the Client declares that it holds the appropriate copyright and/or trademark permissions. The ownership of such materials will remain with the Client, or rightful copyright or trademark owner.

24. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that they have obtained the necessary copyright or permissions to use any asset (including but not limited to, images, text, graphics, audio clips, video or other digital files) used within any website, email, print media or other marketing created or amended by ICAAL for the Client, irrespective of whether those assets have been sourced by ICAAL or the Client. The Client agrees to fully indemnify and hold ICAAL, its employees, agents and sub-contractors free from harm in any and all claims resulting from the Client in not having obtained all the required copyright, and/or any other necessary permissions.

25. Should ICAAL, or the Client supply an image, text, audio clip or any other digital file for use in a website, multimedia presentation, print item, exhibition, advertisement or any other medium believing it to be copyright and royalty free, which subsequently emerges to have such copyright or royalty usage limitations, the Client will agree to allow ICAAL to remove and/or replace the file on the site. The Client agrees to fully indemnify and hold ICAAL, its employees, agents and sub-contractors free from harm in any and all claims resulting from such copyright or royalty usage limitations.

26. Any artwork, images, or text supplied and/or designed by ICAAL on behalf of the Client, will remain the property of ICAAL and/or its suppliers until full payment is received. (If a choice of design is presented, only one solution is deemed to be given by ICAAL as fulfilling the contract. All other designs remain the property of ICAAL, unless agreed in writing that this arrangement has been changed.) If any image(s), Royalty Free or Right Managed are purchased on behalf of the Client, upon full reimbursement of the associated cost to ICAAL the Client shall hold full rights to these image(s).

27. The Client may request in writing from ICAAL, the necessary permission to use materials (for which ICAAL holds the copyright) in forms other than for which it was originally supplied, and ICAAL may, at its discretion, grant this. Such permission must be obtained in writing before ICAAL will allow any of the aforesaid artwork, images, text, or other data to be used. By supplying images, text, or any other data to ICAAL, the Client grants ICAAL permission to use this material freely in the pursuit of the design.

28. In any web based projects a link to ICAAL will appear in either small type or by a small graphic at the bottom of the Client’s website.

    Except as provided in these Terms and Conditions, ICAAL does not independently cause Client Data containing Personal Data stored in connection with the Services to be transferred or otherwise made available to third parties, except to third party subcontractors who may process such data on behalf of ICAAL in connection with ICAAL’s provision of the Services to Clients. Such actions are performed or authorised only by the applicable Client.
    The Client is the Data Controller under the Data Protection Legislation for any Client Data containing Personal Data, meaning that such party controls the manner such Personal Data is collected and used as well as the determination of the purposes and means of the processing of such Personal Data.
    ICAAL is not responsible for the content of the Personal Data contained in the Client Data or other information stored on its servers (or its subcontractors’ servers) at the discretion of the Client nor is ICAAL responsible for the manner in which the Client collects, handles disclosure, distributes or otherwise processes such information.

As the Client is the Data Controller this is at their discretion and their responsibility.

103. As part of the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation ICAAL will use retention controls to the Quoting Engine software that determine how long data is held on ICAAL’s servers (or its subcontractors’ servers) i.e. in the Quoting Engine dashboard. This includes all lead details such as customer name, address, telephone number, email address, quote details and products of interest.
     These data retention controls mean the Services will automatically delete all Client Data after a retention period of 12 months.
