Unless otherwise specifically agreed to prior, any client that ceases communication for a period longer than 60 days is deemed to have abandoned the project. In such cases, there will be no refunds, and if the client wishes to resume the project at a later date, they will need to be re-quoted and pay the new amount before any work resumes.
Unless otherwise stated, quotes are based entirely on the scope of works provided by the client.
Axion Strategic reserves the right to voluntarily provide services beyond the scope of works initially provided by the client. If this happens, Axion Strategic understand they are doing so for no additional payment, but also reserves the right to cease such additional works at any point and require additional payments before continuing any further.
Clients are under no obligation to make any additional payments in this situation.
Axion Strategic provides web hosting services at a fixed monthly cost to the client.
The web hosting services that Axion Strategic provide are provided through a third party and may be subject to the third party's own terms and conditions of use.
Axion Strategic claims no responsibility for any potential negative impacts caused by the operation of the web hosting servers of the third party provider.
All web hosting services are guaranteed uptime of an average of 99.9%.
This means that during the course of a typical year, web hosting clients can expect their website to be unavailable for up to 9 hours due to circumstances outside of the control of Axion Strategic.
Other issues such as non-payment of fees fr services may result in additional down-time of your website, as per our payment policies.
Axion Strategic provides fractional Marketing Department as a Service (MDaaS) services at a fixed monthly cost to the client.
The services that Axion Strategic provide use a mix of in-house and contractors. Axion Strategic reserves the right to use contractors where deemed useful.
Clients are not entitled to gain knowledge of any agreements that are in place between Axion Strategic and any contractors.
Axion Strategic claims no responsibility for any potential negative impacts caused by the actions of contractors or third party providers.
All MDaaS services are to be paid 1 month in advance, unless otherwise agreed to.
It is standard policy for Axion Strategic to enter into 12 month agreements with new MDaaS clients.
Once this initial agreement term has come to a conclusion, further terms will be negotiated between parties.
Unless otherwise stated, we charge out all maintenance tasks and assistance at a per-determined hourly rate.
Axion Strategic reserves the right to alter this hourly rate at any time and this will be at the discretion of Axion Strategic.
When charging work at an hourly rate we charge the initial 0-30 minutes at 50% of the hourly rate.
We then charge the initial 31-60 minutes at the full hour.
If tasks are being charges at an hourly rate and take longer than 60 minutes, we divide the hourly rate by 60 and multiply this by the number of minutes worked on the task
For Example
If our hourly rate was $20/hr and the task took between 0 - 30 minutes, we would send an invoice for $10.
If the task took between 31 - 60 minutes, we would send an invoice for $20.
If the task took 1 hour and 17 minutes, we would send an invoice for $25.66.
Unless otherwise decided by Axion Strategic, all hourly rate invoices will be issued after completion of the work in question.
We reserve the right to request payment for hourly work upfront before any work begins. If we do this, we will issue an invoice to be paid before starting any work and we reserve the right to invoice further if the work exceeds the time previously invoiced for.
All hourly rate invoices are due within 3 days of the invoice being issued.
If the invoice is not paid by the due date, we reserve the right to take down, or undo, the work we completed until such a time as the invoice is paid. We also reserve the right to apply any late payment penalties, fees, and/or interest.
Unless otherwise states, all clients who have their websites hosted with Axion Strategic will be required to pay on a monthly recurring basis..
If any payment fails to be made by the agreed date, Axion Strategic will allow the client up to 7 days to rectify the missed payment.
If the client does not make up the missed payment within the 7 days following the date on which the payment was originally due, Axion Strategic reserved the right to pause all web hosting services until such a time as all missed payments have been made and the clients account is up to date.
Axion Strategic reserves the right to change fee structures and/or pricing at any time.
Any agreement that is in place at the time of any such price or fee change will not be subject to the new pricing until the existing agreement comes to its conclusion.
The exception to this is any agreement that on a "periodic", or month by month, term. In these cases, the new fee will be due at the next renewal of monthly services.
Unless otherwise agreed, any missed, or non, payment by the client will result in the immediate cessation of works by Axion Strategic, until payment has been made.
In the case of a fixed-term agreement which has not yet reached the completion of the agreement period, if payments are withheld, or not made, for over 28 days, it will be deemed that the client has terminated the agreement and Axion Strategic will be owed the total of the amounts owed over the remainder of the agreement that is in place.
Unless otherwise stated, all quoted work below $5,000 must be paid in full before any work begins on the project in question.
Unless otherwise stated, all quoted work above the value of $5,000 and below the value of $15,000, requires a 50% deposit before any work begins.
A payment of the final 50% is due no later than 1 month after the deposit is paid, or prior to the project being finished, whichever is earlier.
Unless otherwise stated, all work quoted above the value of $15,000 requires a 50% deposit up front before any work begins.
The remaining 50% is to be paid in equal monthly installments across no more than 3 months, but is to be paid in full before the work is completed and launched for the client.
Unless otherwise stated, all quoted invoices are due within 7 days of the invoice being issued.
If the invoice is not paid by the due date, we reserve the right to take down, or undo, the work we completed until such a time as the invoice is paid. We also reserve the right to apply any late payment penalties, fees, and/or interest.
The only exception to this is for Marketing Strategy Development clients where, unless otherwise stated, 50% of the quote is due upfront and before any work starts.
The final 50% of the quoted amount is due immediately before the strategy document is delivered.
When a payment is not made by the agreed due date, or a payment has been missed, Axion Strategic reserves the right to charge an administration fee on top of the payment that remains outstanding.
Any administration fee that is charged may be 2% of the outstanding amount, or $25 - whichever is greater.
Axion Strategic reserves the right to charge an administration fee for each time any administrative duties are required to be carried out, in relation to the outstanding payment in question.
If a payment that is owed to Axion Strategic is not received, for any reason, whether this be because the payment is late, a payment has been missed, or the client refuses to pay (or acknowledge payment is required), Axion Strategic reserves the right to take any recovery action deemed necessary.
Axion Strategic reserves the right to also reverse any work that is related to the payment in question, or take related assets offline, until the payment in question has been recovered in full.
Axion Strategic also reserve the right to charge additional fees relating to the additional work associated with taking assets offline, reversing and then reinstating work completed, or any recovery actions taken.
