Any contract established with any particular client is directly between the client and the company (FineFineThings Consulting), as rights and liabilities cannot be transferred by such client to any other party.

The consequence thereof is that our time and services to a client are restricted to the specific job at hand including any extension of time and services rendered necessary within the conditions of a given assignment.

The instruction normally comprises clients company information, area, target audience, online login url (optional), etc.

4.0 Pricing and Payments

The cost for a specific task relies on the type of needs, instructions, time frame and other relevant elements; thus, depending on the directions offered by a client, the company must advise the client of the charged fees for that particular work alone.

Note that if a client makes changes to the brief and instructions originally issued; it may call for adjustment in the billable fees typically upward.

Before initiation of any work, a client has to provide full payment or at least a 50% non-refundable deposit of the agreed cost price to an account chosen by the head of company.

Depending on the project, after the work is half-way done, an invoice of the balance payment will be issued to the client, and the full-work will be provided to a client when the balance has been officially received by the head of company.

However, when the work requirements encompass a substantial volume; payments may be staggered and will be paid in line with the approved project milestones.

All payments are to be paid electronically and evidence of payment supplied to the company within 24 hours of making such payment.

5.0 Commencement of Work

  1. The client has made such payment as stated immediately above, 
  2. The client has read and understood the terms, conditions and warranties and agreed without exceptions to the contents thereof,

However, in rare circumstances when the copywriter cannot meet up with the stated deadline; the head of company will tell the client as soon as feasible and changes in the timeframe may be made thereafter.

Note that the company is not and will not be responsible to a client or a third party for missing deadlines or penalties ensuing therefrom to the person or interests of a client or a third party.

7.0 Termination of Contract and Pause Clause

If Upon beginning of work but before completion a client decides to cancel a contract, he will lose the original deposit paid and may be compelled to pay additional charge depending on the quality of work already done.

Unless the complete balance is paid within 5 working days following such terminations, all correspondence with such client will be severed and any conversation over such work will be regarded as a new contract.

Note that such termination is to be done by emails or any other means of contact being utilised between the company and the client.

A contract is declared abandoned and so impliedly canceled, if a client fails to reply to correspondence within 10 working days after making the first payment of non-refundable deposit.

Where a client fails to submit feedback, or data in line with the request of the company or in accordance with the project milestones; the work will be regarded ‘paused’ and may be rescheduled depending on availability and workloads on the side of the company.

Note that the failure to give comments or data over 30 days will be treated as termination of contract.
