1. Commissioning work from 3B is deemed a contractual agreement between the client and 3B Digital.

2. 3B charges:
3B charge studio time at £75.00 per hour to include all and any effort made on behalf of our clients, recorded and logged as 15 minute units, with a minimum charge for any one task or ticket of 30 minutes. Project work, to include new builds and site redesign, is charged on a fixed-fee basis (whenever possible) based on a pre- agreed cost.

On all project work, fees are charged as follows: a non-refundable deposit 50% of the total in advance of any work (immediately upon commission), and 50% upon completion (and prior to any site launch). No studio time will be allocated to a new project without receipt of this deposit.

3B expects payment by BACs, cheque, credit card (with a 3.4% surcharge) or cash within 14 days of the date on the invoice. 3B charges VAT at the standard rate.

NB: 3B reserves the right to revisit any cost quote if late submission of content by the client results in allocated studio time being wasted or unused.

3. Any print, web or associated work (including code, images and graphics) completed by 3B remains the property of 3B until paid for in full.

4. Hosting charges:
3B will in all cases make a hosting recommendation, but the decision as to where and with whom to host rests with the client.  Moreover, 3B does not take responsibility for any hosts performance, and does not guarantee any server “up-time”. All hosting contracts are subject to the chosen hosts’ terms and conditions.

5. Domain names:
3B will manage a clients' domains for them and endeavour to maintain the registration and re-registration of a clients' domains ongoing until instructed otherwise by the clients. We do so under the terms and conditions of the nominated domain registrar (our preferred registrar being 123-REG), and 3B Digital cannot be held responsible for domains being "lost" or becoming unregistered.

6. Copyright:
3B will make recommendations regarding image usage and associated copyright infringements and permissions. However it remains the responsibility of the client to seek and acquire any required permissions and rights, and all material (both text and images) supplied by the client and used in the construction of the client's web site, will remain the client's property.  All such material will be assumed to be the property of the client and free to use without fear of breach of copyright laws.

7. All websites will be built to work best with the most popular current browsers (Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and above, for example). Whilst every effort will be made to check browser compatibility, 3B can take no responsibility for an individual's PC or Mac browser settings.
