The following Terms and Conditions apply to all products and services provided by Dallas Marketing.

1. All work is carried out by Dallas Marketing on the understanding that the client has agreed to Dallas Marketing’s terms and conditions.
2. Copyright is retained by Dallas Marketing on all design work including words, pictures, ideas, visuals and illustrations unless specifically released in writing and after all costs have been settled.
3. If a choice of design is presented, only one solution is deemed to be given by Dallas Marketing as fulfilling the contract. All other designs remain the property of Dallas Marketing, unless agreed in writing that this arrangement has been changed.

Project Acceptance

At the time of proposal, Dallas Marketing will provide the customer with a written estimate or quotation. The Terms and Conditions can be read on Dallas Marketing’s website. A copy of the written estimate or quotation is to be signed and dated by the customer to indicate acceptance and should be returned to Dallas Marketing. Alternatively, the client may send an official order in reply to the estimate or quotation which binds the client to accept Dallas Marketing’s terms and conditions. No work on a project will commence until either document has been received by Dallas Marketing.

Design Charges

Charges for design services to be provided by Dallas Marketing, will be set out in the written estimate or quotation that is provided to the customer. At the time of the customer’s signed acceptance of this estimate or quotation, indicating acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the quoted fee will become immediately due. Work on the project will not commence until Dallas Marketing has received this amount.

Charges for Other Services

Charges for any additional services over and above the estimated design, will become fully payable (100% of the quoted amount) at the time of estimate or quotation acceptance.

Payment

The customer will be provided with an Approval Form and Invoice prior to sending final proof. At this time the remainder of the amount due will become payable and the customer will also be required to sign and return the Approval Form to Dallas Marketing. Accounts which remain outstanding for 30 days after the date of invoice, will incur an extra charge of 2% per month of the outstanding amount. Payments may be made by cash, check, or (for overseas customers), Pound Sterling International Money Order or previously agreed electronic funds transfer.

Publication and/or release of work done by Dallas Marketing on behalf of the client, may not take place before cleared funds have been received.

Returned checks will incur an additional fee of $50 per returned check. Dallas Marketing reserves the right to consider an account to be in default in the event of a returned check.

Default

An account shall be considered default if it remains unpaid for 30 days from the date of invoice, or following a returned check. Dallas Marketing shall be considered entitled to remove Dallas Marketing’ and/or the customer’s material from any and all computer systems, until the amount due has been fully paid. This includes any and all unpaid monies due for services, including, but not limited to, hosting, domain registration, search engine submission, design and maintenance, sub-contractors, printers, photographers and libraries. Removal of such materials does not relieve the customer of it’s obligation to pay the due amount. Customers whose accounts become default agree to pay Dallas Marketing reasonable legal expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.

Copyrights and Trademarks

By supplying text, images and other data to Dallas Marketing for inclusion in the customer’s website or other medium, the customer declares that it holds the appropriate copyright and/or trademark permissions. The ownership of such materials will remain with the customer, or rightful copyright or trademark owner.

Any artwork, images, or text supplied and/or designed by Dallas Marketing on behalf of the customer, will remain the property of Dallas Marketing and/or its suppliers. The customer may request in writing from Dallas Marketing, the necessary permission to use materials (for which Dallas Marketing holds the copyright) in forms other than for which it was originally supplied, and SEO may, at its discretion, grant this. Such permission must be obtained in writing before it will allow any of the aforesaid artwork, images, text, or other data to be used.

By supplying images, text, or any other data to Dallas Marketing, the customer grants Dallas Marketing permission to use this material freely in the pursuit of the design. Should Dallas Marketing, or the customer supply an image, text, audio clip or any other file for use in a website, multimedia presentation, print item, exhibition, advertisement or any other medium believing it to be copyright and royalty free, which subsequently emerges to have such copyright or royalty usage limitations, the customer will agree to allow Dallas Marketing to remove and/or replace the file on the site. The customer agrees to fully indemnify and hold Dallas Marketing free from harm in any and all claims resulting from the customer in not having obtained all the required copyright, and/or any other necessary permission.

Alterations

The customer agrees that changes required over and above the estimated work or required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design will be liable to a separate charge.

The customer also agrees that Dallas Marketing holds no responsibility for any amendments made by any third party, before or after a design is published.
