General

The following terms are DotSimple’s terms and conditions of sale for website design.

Dotsimple concludes contracts for the supply of Goods and the provision of Services only subject to these terms and the Purchaser seeking to receive Goods and / or Services from DotSimple accepts that these terms shall govern relations between itself and DotSimple to the exclusion of any other terms including conditions, warranties and representations written or oral, expressed or implied even if contained in any of the  Purchaser’s documents which purport to provide that the Purchaser’s own terms shall prevail.

Orders

Contracts, once accepted, cannot be varied or cancelled except with the consent of both parties in writing and then only on terms which would fully indemnify DotSimple against any loss caused directly or indirectly by the variation or cancellation. DotSimple’s employees and agents are not authorised to make any representation concerning the Goods and/or Services unless confirmed by DotSimple in writing. In entering into the contract the Purchaser acknowledges that it does not rely on, and waives any claim for breach of any such representations which are not confirmed. Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by DotSimple shall be subject to correction without liability on the part of DotSimple. Dotsimple reserves the right to alter specifications of the Goods and/or Services without notice. Dotsimple shall have no liability to the Purchaser or any other party in respect of such alteration on any account whatsoever.

Prices

Dotsimple reserves the right to alter prices, trade discounts, settlements discounts and terms at any time. They are subject to alteration without notice. All orders are accepted at prices, etc ruling on date of receipt of order. In the event of a deferred delivery being required, DotSimple reserves the right to charge at its current rate.

We have an open and transparent pricing policy. We will not hit you with sudden and inexplicable extra costs.

 We accept payment by:

· cheque (drawn on a UK bank);

· international money order in sterling;

· cash (sterling);

Payment

Prior to work commencing DotSimple reserves to right to charge a thirty-three percent deposit for those orders that incur costs to DotSimple. Subject to any special terms agreed in writing between DotSimple and the Purchaser, DotSimple shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for the price of the Goods and/or Services on or at any time after the Goods and/or Services have been made available. Dotsimple reserves the right to make and invoice for each delivery of Goods and/or Services to the Purchaser.

Where the services of another company are purchased by DotSimple on behalf of the Puchaser, for example, the registration of a domain name and/or the provision of web hosting, DotSimple will invoice the Purchaser for these items as soon as these services become available.

Dishonoured Cheques

An administration charge of £20 will be levied on dishonoured cheques.

Force Majeure

Dotsimple shall be relieved of its liabilities incurred under any contract wherever the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented, frustrated or impeded as a consequence (though not exclusively) of act of God, war, invasion, act of foreign enemy hostilities (whether or not exclusively), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection or military or usurped power, act of terrorisim or any such event or by any statute rules, regulations, orders or requisitions issued by any governments, council or duly constituted authority or from strikes, lock outs, breakdown of equipment or any other causes (whether or not of a like nature) beyond DotSimple’s control whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

Guarantee

DotSimple’s acceptance of an order does not warrant in any way the suitability of the Goods and/or Services produced by DotSimple for the use to which they may be put. DotSimple will always advise Purchasers if it believes that the Goods and/or Services as requested by the Purchaser are, in content or design or other feature, not the best way of achieving the Purchaser’s aims. Such advice will be put in writing with reasons.

While we believe that the Purchaser may not always be right, we will always produce, to the best of our endeavours, what the Purchaser requires.

Indemnity

The Purchaser shall forthwith indemnify DotSimple on a full indemnity basis against all or any liability, cost or expense of whatsoever nature incurred by DotSimple due to an alleged or actual infringement of any patent, patent application, copyright or intellectual property, right or otherwise arising out of Goods manufactured or services provided by DotSimple to the Purchaser’s order and in accordance with any samples, designs, specifications and/or instructions given by the Purchaser to DotSimple.
