Fees
The Quotation will normally stipulate that the Services and Products are to be provided on a fixed fee basis after assessing the project’s required inputs and outputs and whilst Quotations are not necessarily based on a specific amount of time an agreed Project Completion Date will be stated. If unusually any aspect of the project states or requires a specific time period to be observed Mubsta will detail the start and finish times or number of days/hours expected as part of the overall Quotation. If the assessment of the time it will take to perform the Services and Products requested exceeds that detailed in the Quotation due to your revisions these hours will not be worked or charged without your prior written approval. Fees for out-of-pocket costs, expenses or materials for Services and Products will be separately specified unless stated as included within the Quotation.
If you wish to terminate the provision of Services or Products before they are completed or if they are terminated before they are completed because of a default on your part you will be liable to pay the full fees as set out in the Quotation.
VAT is additional and will be charged at the prevailing rate on the date of the invoice.
Payment
Any Deposit (50% unless otherwise stated) detailed on the Quotation is due upon acceptance of the Quotation or by a date stated in the Quotation and before work can commence. This Deposit will be non refundable.
