Definitions:

Edge Impact – means Edge Impact Consulting Limited, Registered in England No. 4036408 and with reference to where any documents are signed or authorisation given are given by an Edge Impact Consulting Limited authorised representative.

Client – means the company, business or proposed business and any and all people introduced or associated with such an institution or in a private capacity dealing with Edge Impact Consulting Ltd.

Terms and Conditions:

Ownership of all graphics, documentation, components, material and work produced by Edge Impact remain the exclusive property of Edge Impact, with the exclusive right to use passing to the Client only when all moneys owing to Edge Impact are paid in full in cleared funds. Making multiple copies (with the exception of making backup copies in the normal course of business), or distributing the system or software or any part of the system or software for sale or any other use is strictly forbidden.

Any changes to the design after the design has been accepted by the Client may incur additional costs.

All proposal and quoted prices are valid for 30 days from the published date. Any extension to this period will be by agreement in writing by Edge Impact.

Signing the Acceptance section of a proposal will indicate the acceptance of all items in the proposal unless specifically specified as not required in the Acceptance section. Any additional items to the proposal will be subject to an alternative agreement between Edge Impact and the Client.

By signing any proposal or commissioning any work the Client is declaring that they are authorised to sign on behalf of the Client and authorised to incur expense on their behalf.

Edge Impact will take instructions regarding requirements and development from one person assigned by the Client to be the focal point within the Clients business and who will be responsible for making the necessary decisions. An exception to this is where there are specific demarcated sections of the development in which case Edge Impact will deal with the persons so assigned. The reason for this is to help in the speedy development of a high quality product for the Client, avoiding any re-development which can be costly to the Client, cause delays, and cause conflicts between the Clients personnel and Edge Impact.

It is normal in the industry to require an initial deposit payment before the commencement of work, which Edge Impact comply with. The minimum deposit payment is £1000 plus vat or the cost of the project which ever is lesser. A deposit of 25% and stage payments will be required for larger projects.

Final payment becomes due on the completion of work carried out.

The completed works will be uploaded to Client’s websites or supplied to the Client only on receipt of final payment.

All content, its legality and its conformance to all regulations, on websites and applications developed by Edge Impact remain the responsibility of the Client. This clause it to specifically cover any eventuality where there are specific regulations related to specific businesses which they need to comply with and which Edge Impact may be unaware of.

Domain registrations carried out on behalf of Clients will require payment in advance and will be for a minimum period of 2 years.

All hosting charges will be on a per year basis and payable in advance whether an entire year is required or not. Hosting will terminate on the expiry date and all website and email facilities will be automatically removed. If this happens, loss of data will occur.

Advance notice and request for payment for renewal of domains and hosting services will be given to the Client by Edge Impact.

Domains which expire will automatically be put into a "RedemptionPeriod" state by the registrar, resulting in a cost to recover them, which is currently in the region of £220 plus vat. If domains expire, they may be purchased by someone else.

Edge Impact allocate a maximum of 15 minutes free to transfer a domain out however if there is any additional time taken, not due to the fault of Edge Impact, a levy of a minimum of 1/2 hour per domain in question is made at Edge Impact’s normal hourly charge out rate plus vat which is payable in advance in order to cover costs associated. This addition to our terms is due to a transfer out which took many hours over many days due to the receiving company not carrying out the necessary procedures competently. 

Domains, hosting and email services which are suspended due to non payment of invoices will incur a £70 re-establishment charge payable in advance in cleared funds to cover the time and costs associated with the suspension and re-establishment of services. In this case it is the Clients responsibility to reset email passwords back and to ensure their computers are receiving the email from all accounts.

No domains will be transferred away or website coding, software or any other material provided to the client unless and until all payment is received for any and all work carried out by Edge Impact whether directly related to the specific area in question or not.

All prices quoted are excluding VAT unless otherwise stated.

Overdue accounts incur interest charges at the current UK Reference Rate plus 8%, in accordance with government guidelines.

Edge Impact and the Client will not poach each others staff or engage or attempt to engage their services in a non-legitimate way and through Edge Impact.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and all provisions not affected by such invalidity or unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect. The Client and Edge Impact will agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable Terms and Conditions.

This agreement, and all contracts and agreements made by Edge Impact, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with UK English Law.
