1. Work by FUTURE POINT 4 BUSINESS LIMITED commences once a Proposal has been received and agreed by the client. A client (design) brief with all material content will be received from the client in a timely manner; this to include but not limited to organisation/person information, copy, logo, images, video. Proposals are valid for 30 days of when the Proposal has been dispatched. Acceptance and agreement of the Proposal by the client may require a signed Letter of Engagement. The Proposal will be specific to each design/production brief and will include expected costs and timescales for delivery of first works to final design. Any additional work required on a same production that is not in the original Proposal will require a separate and new Proposal. We notify our customers immediately if we expect a design project to take slightly longer than originally agreed. As a guide, original graphic designs for print or digital output start from a half-hourly charge at rate of £32.50. Small amends will be without additional charge. Significant and multiple amends will be subject to the half-hourly rate of £32.50. A minimum deposit of 50% is required for larger projects prior to commencement. Shorter lead times may require the initial deposit to be at a higher rate. For smaller design works a written quotation will be issued that shall be valid for 14 days. Design will commence upon acceptance of the quotation by the client in writing and upon the receipt of cleared funds following settlement of an invoice raised as per the agreed quotation. All production work to be supplied by Future Point 4 Business shall be queued as received and completed at the earliest possible opportunity with estimated completion dates being issued so as to ensure deadlines are met and to avoid any disappointment.
2. Future Point 4 Business Limited cannot be held responsible for final copy/design once approved by and signed off by the client.
3. Future Point 4 Business Limited shall not be liable for any loss of data or site down-time that is due to a failure of third party hosting or other third party online services.
4. Print Services: All requests for print will be subject to a written quotation that will be valid for 14 days. All art work supplied by the client will be subject to a first review before transferring for final proofing and production. All art work must be received in a PDF format (PDF= ‘Portable Document Format’). In the context of ISO 15930 standard, the use of a PDFx1a-2001 file is recommended, although PDF/x3 and PDF/x4 (as well as other PDF formats for printing) are also accepted. It should be noted that DTP software settings, paper type and print finishes (e.g. lamination, varnish etc.) all have an impact on colour rendering and therefore, as a consequence, finished print colours may vary in some instances. A paper proof can be provided. However, it should be noted that this proof is outputted on a calibrated inkjet device, using a silk coated material and is intended to give a representation of the colour and content of the print job on a coated material. Paper proofs are charged for beginning at £15 upwards. Higher amounts will be at a percentage of the full order value. The proof does not reproduce the exact conditions under which your product will be produced and therefore can’t make allowances for the variations that will occur during the printing and special finishing processes (Lamination, UV Varnishing etc). Future Point 4 Business does not accept responsibility for variations in colour or colour management. Following approval of the aforementioned review an invoice will be dispatched requesting the full amount to be charged. Upon the receipt of cleared funds all art work will be transferred for production. Art work supplied by Future Point 4 Business will be signed off by the client before being transferred for production. A final proof will be sent to the client before production. Changes to the design following the final proof will be subject to a second charge in the full amount. Clients will be notified of a delivery date.
