All services provided by Media Identity to the Customer are subject to the following terms and conditions:

Media Identity is a trading name of e-Branch Limited, company number: 06269239

1. Acceptance.
A copy of these terms and conditions must be signed by all new customers at the time of submission of work to Media Identity, indicating agreement to and acceptance of these terms and conditions. Ticking the check box at the time of placing your order will signify acceptance of these terms and conditions.

2. Charges.
Charges for services to be provided by Media Identity are defined at the time of placing your order. All web site design services require an advance payment of 50% of the total costs. This payment, and all subsequent installment payments are non-refundable.

Payments not made on receipt of invoicing through the course of the project will hold up the progress of the project and could jeopardise project deadlines.

Payment for services is made via our Pay Pal Subscription buttons, setting up the monthly payments to be taken automatically.

3. Customer Review.
Media Identity will provide the Customer with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of web site materials at each stage of development once they are completed. Such materials will be deemed to be accepted and officially approved, unless the Customer notifies Media Identity otherwise within fifteen (15) days of the date the materials are made available to the Customer. If the website is compliant with the specification and the customer requires further alterations, these will be chargeable at the designated rate of £180 per day or £25 per hour plus VAT. The customer is entitled to acceptance testing procedures and time to test before signing off the project.

4. Turnaround Time.
Media Identity will install and publicly post the Customer’s web site within a reasonable number of days from the date initial payment is received from the Customer, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Customer.

5. Payment.
Invoices are issued on strict immediate terms. Accounts that remain unpaid twenty-four (24) hours after the due date of the invoice will have their website and email hosting package automatically frozen. A £50 plus VAT activation fee will be required to reinstate the website and email hosting to its former state. All domain, hosting and email data will be deleted from our records if the installment remains unpaid for ninety consecutive days, and this data will not be retrievable.

6 Termination.
Termination of services by the Customer is acceptable by cancelling their PayPal installment plan.

7. Legal Restrictions.
Media Identity services may be used for lawful purposes only. Submission, transmission, or maintenance of any information or materials in violation of any UK and Welsh Common Law and Statute and/or regulations, is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene. Media Identity reserves the right to refuse service to the Customer without providing reason or cause.

8. Copyright.
Customers retain the copyright to data, files and graphic logos provided by the Customer, and grant Media Identity the rights to publish and use such material. The Customer must obtain permission and rights to use any information or files that are copyrighted by a third party. The Customer is further responsible for granting Media Identity permission and rights for use of the same and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Media Identity from any and all claims resulting from the Customer’s negligence or inability to obtain proper copyright permissions. Every contract for web site design and/or placement shall be regarded as a guarantee by the Customer to Media Identity that all such permissions and authorities have been obtained. Evidence of permissions and authorities may be requested.

9. Standard Media Delivery.
Unless otherwise specified, this Agreement assumes that all text will be provided by the Customer in electronic format (ASCII text files delivered on CD or via e-mail or FTP) and that all photographs and other graphics will be provided physically in high quality print suitable for scanning or electronically in .psd, .gif, .jpeg or .tiff format. Additional expenses may be incurred and will be invoiced accordingly for corrective work, conversion of media or outside facility charges. Although every reasonable attempt shall be made by Media Identity to return to the Customer any images or printed material provided for use in creation of the Customer’s web site, such return cannot be guaranteed.

10. Design Concepts.
Media Identity will design one concept, (usually a homepage) and work on this with the clients feedback to get to an agreed interface design. If the first concept is not acceptable, we will work on up to an additional two further concept designs. If one of the three concepts we design is not acceptable to the client, both parties are free to terminate the contract. No refunds for the design work would be available but the designs could be provided to the client with copyright assigned to the client. Alternatively we can continue to provide new designs charging for our time at our standard rates of £25 plus VAT per hour.

11. Design Templates.
Media Identity typically allow for up to three different layout designs in a standard project. Additional layouts that require designing will be charged extra for at our standard rates of £25 plus VAT per hour.

12. External Sources.
External third party systems that we need to integrate with will not be part of any fixed price quote agreed with Media Identity. All third party integration work will be charged for on a pay for time basis. Media Identity will give an estimate for the time required at the point of receiving an order, but will charge for the time taken to integrate any third party software. Examples being xml/rss feed integration or bespoke integration using API’s for third party software systems.

13. Website Content.
Media Identity will be responsible for adding the content to up to ten individual content pages of your website and the price for this is calculated on a per page basis within the initial deposit payment. Media Identity can add content to further pages at a cost of £25 plus VAT per content page. Media Identity will only add the content for each page once and therefore content supplied should be final and signed off. In the event that content needs adding again for any pages, the time taken will be charged for at our standard rates. Any extra charges will be highlighted to the client before commencing any extra work not already agreed.

14. Design Credit.
A discrete link to Media Identity will appear in small type at the bottom of a page of the Customer’s web site on all website design projects.

15. Publishing Rights.
