Terms and conditions
for copywriting, content marketing and social media marketing clients
These terms and conditions are valid as at 1 October 2018.
Please familiarise yourself with the most up to date terms and conditions below.
To protect both you and I, there are a number of terms and conditions that I have put in place when you engage my services. By agreeing to my quote (which I send via email and which outlays all costs and timeframes), you are agreeing to my terms and conditions. These apply to all new clients and existing clients.
Any additional ad hoc hours or tasks outside this quote can easily be undertaken with prior negotiation of more than 48 hours notice will be charged at a negotiated higher rate. Each quote takes into account administration and client liaison, industry research and assessing competitors, editing, proofreading and one complete set of revisions (if required). Extensive research will incur an additional charge but this will be negotiated well in advance.
The quote you will be provided with is for the brief that has been supplied or will be by the stipulated due date (the quote will spell out this date). Any changes to the brief after the material due/deposit date will signify a new project and will incur a new quote, delivery date and fee. This includes changes to wireframes or templates, so please ensure you send through the most up to date versions.
For the purpose of my services, a set of revisions refers to: minor edits, word placement, minor structural changes. Anything that deviates from the initial brief will be requoted and charged as a completely new project. It is important to get the briefing and quoting process correct as this is the stage of the process that I will write to. Any internal or business decisions and changes that you make after the brief, quote approval and deposit has been sent to me will be regarded as a new project and will require requoting. Although rarely required, revisions will be provided within seven to fourteen days, unless the job is sizeable.
All communication will be directed via one person in your organisation, to eliminate any confusion and to expedite the service (trust me, you don’t want to pay for unnecessary correspondence time). The contact person will default to the person who this quote is addressed to, unless previously advised in writing.
This document and quote is for your internal use only and not to be distributed to any third party or outside of your organisation. Doing so without expressed consent breaches copyright.
Copyright retains with Vanessa Jones of Jones the Writer until all outstanding invoices are paid in full. All work is copyright. Apart from any use permitted under the Copyright Act 1968, no part may be reproduced by any process, nor may any other exclusive right be exercised, without the permission of Vanessa Jones, 2018. This does not apply for copyediting or proofreading work.
Agreeing to quote signifies you agree to the terms and conditions and agree to pay the quoted amount in full within fourteen days of invoice (money to be received by the fourteenth day). You will be invoiced upon delivery of your work (even if changes are required).
Should you terminate the relationship after agreeing upon the quote, you are still required to pay the full invoice amount. Approving and agreeing to the quote stands in place of a client/provider contract.
The upfront deposit is non refundable and helps secure your project in my content/client schedule and to help adhere to agreed upon deadlines. Failure to pay deposit before specified time could delay delivery times.
Delivering required material by the same deposit deadline can also affect delivery dates.
Whilst every effort is made to provide you with correct advice, I exclude myself from any responsibility or indemnity that my advice may cause. This service is offered as an opinion only and the end responsibility lies with you, the client and I exclude myself from any responsibility or indemnity that my advice may cause. This service is offered as an opinion only and the end responsibility lies with you, the client.
You will be invoiced for the quoted amount once approved, regardless of whether you end up using or requiring the full assets/content supplied. No part of the quote/project may be transposed (ie swapped in and swapped out) once you have approved.
I reserve the right to terminate the working relationship at any time at my discretion and you will be charged only for the work completed.
Full payment is to be made within fourteen days of being invoiced. A fee of ten per cent per seven days thereafter will incur for late payment and charged on the day after the invoice due date. You will be invoiced upon completion of work.
If no written communication is received from you within five working days of completed agreed upon work sent to you, I will accept that you have agreed to work being done and no further revisions are required. You are not entitled to any free revisions or client service once after COB on the fifth business day after your work has been sent via email, if no contact has been received.
Although I am very confident that my services will benefit you, I do not provide a guarantee of increased sales or revenue.
The above quotes are for my time and knowledge only. Any additional costs required by a third party (for example, domain hosting, graphic design, advertising printing costs etc) will be covered completely by the client.
All my services include GST and you will be charged accordingly.
Whilst your best interests are at heart and I want to see your business thrive as much as you do, I cannot be held responsible or liable for any inadvertent damages caused through social media and marketing activities or actions undertaken by the client upon my advice.
The quoted fee is for copywriting and editing only (or any service stipulated). An additional fee will be charged for meeting or onsite work. Please contact me for costs.
I reserve the right to showcase any copywriting/copyediting/proofreading work undertaken on your behalf, or list you as a recent client, on my portfolio but you will be credited accordingly. If you require “white label” content, please specify this. White label content will attract an additional fee.
I pride myself on my professionalism and processes, ensuring you get the best quality work and great value for money. By considering my terms and conditions, you free me up to deliver you (and other clients) the best work possible. I can't wait to work with you!
