4. Pricing and Payment
4.1. Pricing for Services is confirmed for each project individually. Standard pricing estimates are available on our website, with additional costs applicable for more complex requests. Specific due dates for payments will be communicated upon project initiation, typically within 10 days of invoicing.
4.2. A 50% deposit, aligned with industry standards, is required to begin your project, emphasizing our mutual commitment to excellence and focused engagement. This initial investment covers research, design, and early project stages, ensuring UON Studio dedicates its full resources to your success. This prioritization limits our capacity for other work, highlighting the significance of our partnership. Although the deposit is generally non-refundable, we offer flexibility under exceptional circumstances, with refunds considered on a selective basis.
4.3. The balance payment is due before the site's final hand-off. Upon settling the balance, clients receive the completed site, including full SEO setup, access credentials, and personalized training, ensuring a seamless transition. Flexible payment arrangements, such as installments, can be accommodated under special agreements. UON Studio provides post-completion support within the project's original scope, ensuring a stable and functional digital presence. As your trusted long-term online partner, we are here to support your future growth, should you wish to further expand and enhance your digital presence.
4.4. Payments are accepted via bank transfer, predominantly SEPA payments in Europe. Alternative online payment methods may be enabled upon request, with associated fees covered by the Client.
4.5. Agreement Through Payment: Your payment signifies agreement to UON Studio's Terms & Conditions. Full details are provided at the end of this document.
5. Timeline and Deliverables
5.1. An initial start date estimate is provided early on, with a reconfirmation after prepayment. Should prepayment be timely, especially within the invoice due date, the initial and reconfirmed start dates typically align. For special circumstances, such as when a priority timeline is purchased by the client, projects may start sooner without affecting our existing commitments. Detailed timelines and milestone deliverables are outlined at the project’s commencement. While we aim to meet these estimates, variations may occur due to client responsiveness or project complexity.
5.2. Active client participation in the project workflow is crucial. Providing content that is correct, accurate, and adheres to the requested format in a timely manner is essential for keeping the project on track. In efforts to sustain high service quality to all clients, failing to provide expected content within 30 days of the specified deadline may result in the project being placed on hold. Should a project be put on hold for these reasons, a restart fee equivalent to 10% of the total project price will apply to restart the project, accompanied by an amended timeline. Should the project remain on hold for more than 3 months due to delayed content submission, UON Studio reserves the right to consider cancellation, particularly in cases where there is insufficient client participation in resolving the situation. Each case will be assessed individually and in accordance with our Pricing and Payment and Termination of Services terms.
6. Intellectual Property
6.1. Upon full payment, intellectual property rights of the design are transferred to the Client, subject to any limitations discussed and agreed upon, such as geographical restrictions or specific contexts of use. The website will include an attribution note in the footer, which the Client agrees not to remove.
6.2. If the Client requests the removal of the attribution note, they will be required to pay an additional fee of 10% of the total project price. Unauthorised removal of the attribution note may result in UON Studio refraining from providing further services to the Client.
6.3. UON Studio retains the right to showcase completed work in its portfolio and marketing materials unless otherwise agreed with the Client.
7. Client Responsibilities
7.1. Pre-Transfer Responsibilities: Clients are responsible for providing all necessary content (such as their text, images, videos, or branding materials) in agreed formats and quality standards within the specified timeframe. Guidelines on content specifications will be provided upon project initiation.
7.2. UON Studio is not responsible for delays caused by the Client's failure to provide necessary materials or feedback promptly.
7.3. The Client is responsible for ensuring that all content provided to UON Studio for use in the project is owned by them or licensed for use.
7.4. Post-Transfer Responsibilities: Following the successful transfer of the website, UON Studio completes all agreed-upon finishing tasks. These tasks typically include final site configuration, connecting the Instagram Feed profile, SEO and indexing tasks, and assistance with the connection of the site to the client's purchased Wix plan and domain. After these tasks are completed, ownership and responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the site officially transfer to the client. The client then assumes full responsibility for the website's upkeep.
7.5. It is important to note that while the website's hosting is provided by the Wix platform, UON Studio has no control over Wix’s operations, functionality, or hosting services after the website's transfer. Consequently, any platform or hosting-related issues post-transfer are beyond our scope of responsibility.
7.6. Clients are encouraged to directly address any subsequent issues with the website or its hosting on Wix. Should additional support from UON Studio be required post-transfer, such assistance will be available but subject to charges at our then-current support rates.
8. Revisions and Edits
8.1. Clients are provided with opportunities for feedback and revisions during the design process, typically involving up to three rounds of Figma reviews and up to three rounds of Wix Studio reviews.
8.2. Additional revisions beyond the agreed-upon number may incur additional charges, subject to mutual agreement.
8.3. Once the design specifications are finalized and development commences, it's important to note that the initial Figma design outlines more than 90% of the website's final appearance. As such, any modifications to this design during the development phase are limited to a minimal scope, not exceeding 10% of the overall design. This policy ensures that the project remains on track and aligned with the agreed-upon vision.
9. Termination of Services
9.1. Client Requested Termination - In the event that the Client wishes to terminate the project, we encourage open communication and request that the Client provide notice or express concerns beforehand. This allows us the opportunity to address any issues and potentially resolve them to the satisfaction of both parties. Termination of the project without prior communication may result in missed opportunities for resolution.
9.2. Studio Initiated Termination - If we determine it necessary to cancel the project due to unforeseen circumstances or breaches of agreement by the Client, we will notify the Client in writing and provide an explanation for our decision. We will make reasonable efforts to resolve any outstanding issues and may consider refunds or compensation depending on the circumstances.
