These Terms and Conditions apply to web design, other graphic design work and related services including but not limited to photography and copywriting.

A separate document "Terms and Conditions (1)" applies to Hosting and Domain Name Registration Services.
Where the context admits: "We" & "Us" includes Oraica Ltd, 6 Bedevere Court, Hermitage Park, Wrexham, LL13 7GZ, UK or any party acting on Oraica's implicit instructions. "You" includes the person purchasing the Services or any party acting on your instructions. "Services" include but are not limited to web design, other graphic design work, photography and copywriting. Hosting and domain name services are not included; they are covered by a separate document entitled "Terms and Conditions (1)".

1. Acceptance
A copy of these terms and conditions must be signed by all new customers prior to or at the time of submission of work to us, indicating agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

2. Charges
Charges for services to be provided by us are defined in the project quotation. All services require an advance payment of a minimum of forty percent of the quotation total. Depending upon the terms laid out in the quotation, the remaining sixty percent of the quotation total will either be due upon completion of the work or by staged payments. Payment for services is to be made by cheque. Cheques should be made payable to Oraica Ltd.

3. Customer Review and Approval
Oraica will provide you with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the website during the design period and on completion. On completion of the project, the website will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless you notify us otherwise within seven days of the date we advise you that final version of the website is made available to you for approval.

4. Payment
We will provide an invoice to cover the deposit by return of post when the cheque has cleared. We will provide an invoice to cover the final payment for the website design and any associated services upon completion of the work. Invoices are normally sent by post. In the event that they are sent by email or fax, you may request a "hard copy" by post. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts remaining unpaid thirty days after the invoice date will attract a service charge of two percent of the amount due or £25 per month, whichever is the higher. If payment is not received within a further seven days, the responsibility for recovery of the money will be transferred to a debt recovery agency.

5. Default
Accounts unpaid thirty days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. We will, at our discretion, remove the website files from our web server and will not be held responsible for any loss of data incurred. Removal of such material does not relieve you of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges. Cheques returned by the bank as unpaid for any reason will attract a "returned cheque" charge of £25 and your account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Customers with accounts in default agree to pay us reasonable expenses incurred by us in enforcing these Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies.

6. Termination
Termination of services by you must be requested in writing and will be effective on receipt of such notice. E-mail or telephone requests for termination of services will not be honoured until and unless confirmed in writing. You will be invoiced for design work completed to the date of first notice of cancellation for payment in full within thirty days and the terms laid out in clauses 4 and 5 above will apply.

You must obtain permission and rights to use any information or files that are copyrighted by a third party.

10. Access Requirements
If your website is to be installed on a third-party server, we must be granted such temporary read/write access to the site’s storage directories as is necessary to enable the website to be installed via FTP.

11. Alterations after publication.
