7. General
7.1 If any provision of these terms and conditions is held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions shall not be affected.
7.2 Code One Digital may modify these terms and conditions at any time by publishing the modified terms and conditions on this Website. Any modifications shall take effect 3 days after posting on this Website.
7.3 Retained hours are billed in advance; cleared payment for the agreed term must be received no later than 5 working days before the end of the month preceding the term for which the retainer applies. Unused retained hours cannot be carried over to subsequent terms. Payments made for retained hours are not refundable under any circumstances. Retained hours carry a minimum term of 3 months, similarly extensions of existing retainers must be a minimum of an additional three months. Retained hours may be offered at a rate lower than the usual rate (usually 20%); any additional hours (additional to the number of retained hours during that month) used during the retained term will be billed at the usual rate. Any out-of hours (outside usual business hours of 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and excluding public holidays) work is not included in the retained hours and will be charged at 150% of the usual rate. Code One Digital reserves the right to terminate a retainer at the end of the term for which payment has been received.
7.4 Work to be carried out under retainer must be booked in at least 5 working days in advance, to ensure availability of resources; requests made less than 5 working days in advance, or less than 5 working days before the end of the retainer period, will be attended to on a best-endeavour basis and may not be completed due to lack of available resources.
7.5 Code One Digital charges a standard rate of £75 per hour (exclusive of VAT, where applicable); standard business hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (UK time), excluding public holidays; any work carried out outside of these standard business hours will be charged at 1.5 time the standard rate. In the case of retainers, out-of-hours work is not included in the retained hours and will either be billed separately or deducted from any remaining retained hours. Itemised invoices are not provided unless requested in advance of any work being undertaken.
7.6 Payment terms are 7 calendar days from the date of invoice, or by the due date on the invoice, whichever is the earliest; retainers are due in advance as outlined above. Code One Digital reserves the right to suspend work in the case of late payments, until the issue is resolved. Late payments may also result in the withdrawal of credit facilities for that client and the commencement of legal proceedings as outlined below.
7.7 If the client disagrees with an invoice, or if there is any other form of dispute with either the invoice or the work to which it relates, Code One Digital must be advised of such dispute in writing (by email) before the due date of the invoice; failure to make Code One Digital aware of any disputes relating to an invoice before the invoice due date constitutes acceptance of the invoice and therefore liability for payment of the invoice in full by the due date stated on the invoice.
7.8 In the event that payment for an invoice has not been received in full as cleared funds on the due date stated on the invoice, a reminder will be issued via email; should payment still not be received in full as cleared funds within 7 calendar days of the due date stated on the invoice no further reminders will be issued and on the 8th calendar day from the due date of the unpaid invoice a Court Judgment will be obtained and subsequently referred for enforcement by bailiffs of the Sheriff’s Office; any fees and expenses associated with these collection proceedings, or in any other way relating to the late payment of the invoice, will be added to the amount due.
7.9 In such an event that an agreement has been entered into between an employee of Code One Digital, or one of its Directors, on behalf of, or in representation of Code One Digital, these terms and conditions override all terms contained in any such agreement.
8. Governing law
8.1 These terms and conditions are governed by and to be construed in accordance with UK law.
8.2 Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the UK courts.
