Standard Conditions of Agreement

General:

All terms are applicable to the Client and A Watson & S B Watson Tas Pixelkraft is hereon known as Pixelkraft.

All estimates are valid for a period of 30 days.

 

Terms of Costs:

Estimates provided are within ± 10% of actual costs. Estimates are provided for client’s budgeting convenience and, since estimates of a creative project are difficult to anticipate, our estimate should not be construed as a firm quotation. In the event that there are client revisions to the specified task, every effort will be made to keep the client apprised of additional costs. Revision or edit time will be billed at an hourly rate of $65.00 + GST for design and meetings.

Outside costs, such as printing, copy writing, photography and web hosting, are estimated to the best of our ability. They are estimated at actual cost plus a 15% handling fee. Management of Client web hosting accounts will be billed at an hourly rate of $65.00 + GST.

All applicable goods and services tax will be paid by the client.

 

Copyright and Ownership:

In the event that several design solutions are being submitted for the clients consideration, the design solution selected by the client for production becomes the purchaser’s property subject to payment conditions. All other design solutions in all forms remain the property of Pixelkraft and may not be reproduced without written permission by Pixelkraft (and will be subject to payment conditions).

All conceptual presentations are developed with the understanding that the final work will be executed by Pixelkraft.

Electronic mechanical art will remain the property of Pixelkraft unless specifically negotiated at the time of agreement. Pixelkraft will be responsible for storage of this artwork for three years.

Pixelkraft reserves the right to charge the client for replacement of production files or materials that are stored in our archives.

Copyright on all original designs and production material remains the property of Pixelkraft and therefore may not be reproduced or adapted until completion of the contract and full payment of all related fees has been received.

Unless otherwise stated, all original (non-royalty-free) illustration and photography is purchased for one time use only and entitles the client to reproduction rights for the specific project on which the price was negotiated. Re-use, adaptation, or extended use will require additional compensation based on the market value of additional usage.
