Service Delivery
Services are delivered in accordance with the milestones and scope defined in the Agreement. We apply professional judgement and commercially reasonable efforts in performing our work.
Timelines may vary depending on cooperation, scope clarity, and external factors.
Proposal and Scope
Proposals are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless stated otherwise. If not accepted within that period, we may revise pricing or scope before resubmission.
Fees, Costs, and Taxes
Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement:
- Third-party costs are billed separately.
- Approved expenses may be invoiced at cost.
- Clients are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, or government charges associated with the services.
Payment Terms
Invoices are due within five (5) days of issue unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payments may be structured by milestones as outlined in the Agreement.
Late payments may result in delayed delivery.
Changes to Scope
All change requests must be submitted in writing.
Minor adjustments that do not significantly affect timelines or cost may be accommodated within the existing scope. Substantial changes that alter deliverables, workload, or deadlines may require a supplemental agreement.
Revised proposals remain open for acceptance for up to fourteen (14) working days unless otherwise stated.
Delays
If project progress is delayed due to client actions, including late approvals or incomplete materials, timelines will be extended accordingly.
If delays arise on our side, we will communicate promptly and take reasonable steps to minimise impact.
Events beyond either party’s reasonable control may extend deadlines without constituting a breach.
Evaluation and Acceptance
We conduct internal testing before submitting deliverables.
Clients have seven (7) working days to review deliverables and request revisions aligned with the agreed scope. Necessary corrections within scope will be addressed within a reasonable timeframe.
Client Responsibilities
Clients agree to:
- Provide lawful and accurate content
- Ensure materials are ready for use
- Review and proofread content unless otherwise agreed
- Make timely decisions and approvals
Delays in fulfilling these responsibilities may impact delivery timelines.
Attribution and Portfolio Use
Unless otherwise agreed, we may include a discreet accreditation reference on completed work. We may also display non-confidential project examples in our portfolio.
Neither party should unreasonably restrict factual references to completed work.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential information private and not disclose it to third parties without consent, except where required by law or where information is already public or lawfully obtained.
Relationship of the Parties
We operate as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or exclusivity arrangement unless expressly agreed in writing.
We may engage subcontractors where appropriate while remaining responsible for service delivery.
Limitation of Liability
Services are provided “as is” to the extent permitted. Our total liability for any claim related to services is limited to the amount paid by the client for the specific services giving rise to the claim.
Intellectual Property and Usage Rights
Upon full payment, clients receive a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide licence to use the Final Deliverables as agreed.
Our internal tools, frameworks, and methodologies remain our property unless explicitly transferred in writing. Modification or derivative use may be subject to the terms defined in the Agreement.
Support Services
Ongoing support is provided only if explicitly agreed. Additional support may be billed separately.
If deliverables are altered by third parties without our involvement, any implied warranty or support obligations may no longer apply.
Updates to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version published on cloudautomationengineer.com will govern current use. Continued use of the website or services constitutes acceptance of any updated terms.
