1. Acceptance
No proposal issued by The Handy Marketing Company will be considered binding upon The Handy Marketing Company until it is officially accepted in writing by a Director, Partner or authorised representative of the Client and so acknowledged by the proposing officer of The Handy Marketing Company. The conditions of supply, as set out by The Handy Marketing Company, may not be modified, or varied unless specifically agreed in writing under the signature of a Director of The Handy Marketing Company. The Handy Marketing Company also reserves the right to cancel or to modify the Terms of any proposal if it is unable to obtain satisfactory credit references for the Client. Acceptance of a quotation in writing will be taken as acceptance of the following Terms & Conditions. Please ensure you have read and understand these Terms and contact us if anything is not clear to you.
2. Validity
All quotes provided exclude VAT where applicable and are valid for 10 days from the date of quotation. The Handy Marketing Company reserves the right to cancel or revise any outstanding proposal after expiry of this period if official written acceptance by the Client has not been received.
3. Costs
Some meetings may incur additional charges for time spent, although the client would be made aware of this in advance.
4. Invoicing
a) Project Work: Unless otherwise stated in a project proposal or scope of supply, The Handy Marketing Company will invoice the Client 50% of the estimated or fixed project value on project acceptance and this sum must be paid immediately. The balance is then invoiced on project completion. Projects below certain values as determined from time to time by The Handy Marketing Company and at its sole discretion may waive the above commencement invoice requirement and invoice the project in full on project completion.
b) Retainer Contracts: Invoices shall be issued monthly for the duration of the contract and payable thirty (30) days from the receipt and approval of invoice and services referenced thereon, unless otherwise specified.
Invoices will be issued in UK Sterling. Unless otherwise advised by the Client, The Handy Marketing Company will submit invoices to the Client address indicated on Client purchase orders, letterhead, or other correspondence.

Unless otherwise stated or previously agreed in writing, all invoices are due within 30 days of any invoice date. The Handy Marketing Company reserves the right to withhold any deliverables in the event that any payment is not made when it falls due. Project commencement invoices are payable immediately upon receipt.
Invoices submitted and not paid within 30 days of the invoice date will incur interest daily in accordance with Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. This interest charge may be waived at the discretion of The Handy Marketing Company.
6. Retainer Contracts Terms
Unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with Section 10 of this agreement, the term of this Agreement shall be effective on an agreed date and continue for 3 months after that date, unless extended by Company prior to its expiration.
7. Amends
Unless otherwise stated or previously agreed in writing, the costs provided allow for a maximum of 3 sets of Client amends after which time additional charges may become payable, although the Client would be made fully aware of this in advance.
