Terms & Conditions.

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions the following Definitions will have the following meanings unless stated otherwise. “Client” the person(s), firm or company whose order for the Services is accepted by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd. “Contract” any contract between ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd and the Client for the sale and purchase of the Service/s. “Services” any Services which ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd provides to the client under contractual agreement. “Terms and Conditions” the standard terms and conditions set in this document together with or without special terms agreed in writing between the Client and ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd.

2. Formation of Contract

2.1 – The Contract will be upon the following Terms and Conditions, excluding any other terms and conditions and all previous oral or written representations including any terms or conditions which the Client intend to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document, whether or not such document is referred to in the Contract.

2.2 – Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Services will be deemed to be an offer by the Client to purchase Services upon these Terms and Conditions. The Contract is formed when the order is accepted by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd by way of a written acknowledgement of order. No contract will come into existence until a written acknowledgement of order is issued by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days from its date or creation by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd unless it has been previously withdrawn.

3. Price and Payment Terms

3.1 – The price for the Services will be the price set out in ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd’s quotation. The price is exclusive of any costs of packaging and carriage and any other applicable sales tax or duty which will be added to the sum in question at the point of invoice.

3.2 – The price of the Services shall be subject to variation at any time prior to completion including but not limited to price fluctuations beyond its reasonable control or where changes or alterations have been requested by the Client or where the Client has failed to provide adequate or timely information or instructions.

3.3 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd may invoice the Client for the Services on or at any time after performance commences and payment is due within 15 or 30 days of service (depending on services rendered) of such invoice, or upon termination of the Contract, whichever occurs first. Unless otherwise specified, i.e. the first 6 months of a new business relationship where payment is required immediately.

3.4 – All payments to be made by the Client under the terms of the contract (indicated on the quotation), payment will be made in full without any set-off, restriction or condition and without any deduction for or on account of any counterclaim.

3.5 – If any sum payable under the Contract is not paid when due then, without prejudice to ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd’s other rights under the Contract, that sum will bear interest from the due date until payment is made in full, both before and after any judgement, at 3 per cent per annum over Barclays Bank plc base rate from time to time and ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will be entitled to suspend deliveries of the Services until the outstanding amount has been received.

4. Stages

4.1 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd may deliver the Services in stages. Each stage will be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to any stage will entitle the Client to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or stage. Once a stage has been initiated, the stage must be completed and paid for in full. Each separate stage will be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. Acceptance of the Contract is demonstrated by an initial payment being processed by the Client.

5. Conflict of Interest

5.1 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will decline any third party contract that would create a conflict of interest with the client’s previously agreed instructions. Where such a conflict only becomes apparent after our agreement to act for the third party we will invoke Clauses 5.2 and 5.3 in respect of their contract.

5.2 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd warrants to bring to the attention of the client any conflict of interest that may arise between the client’s instructions and the terms under which ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd is acting, or has acted, for another client at the time that it becomes apparent to ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd officers (where such third party instructions were received prior to the client’s instructions). The client will then be free to vary his contract with ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd in the light of this revelation to the extent that it is affected by the potential conflict of interest. Such a declaration by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will be general in nature, so as not to prejudice the confidentiality with the third party.

5.3 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will have the right to resign its contract in such circumstances if, in its judgement, it is unable to proceed with the contract and maintain its fiduciary duty. ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd shall receive payment in full for hours worked and expenses incurred to the date of disclosure, including all due contract stage payments but not including any entitlement to pro-rata payment for any amounts payable on completion such as performance fees or terminal payments.

6. Materials Supplied

6.1 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd agrees to handle any materials, such as product samples or documents, supplied by the client in a professional and controlled fashion and return them to the client upon request. However, ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will not be responsible for any wear or tear occasioned nor for any loss or theft that might occur. All such material is supplied at the client’s own risk and no liability for any financial restitution for any direct or indirect value is neither accepted nor any consequential loss.

7. Rights of Ownership

7.1 – The property, (hardware and design) including all intellectual property in any form whatsoever including but not limited to designs, drawings, ideas, inventions mould tooling or processes will remain the property of ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd until the price of such Goods or Services has been paid in full and cleared through ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd’s bank but risk in the Services will pass to the Client from the date of delivery.

7.2 – The Clients right to possession will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of an event which would allow ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd to terminate the Contract under Condition 13.1.

8. Publicity

8.1 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd shall have the right, without further reference to the client, to publicise the fact that the client is, or was, a client and to utilise the client’s name in publicity materials in this respect. ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd may also describe and visually demonstrate using images in general terms the type of work conducted for the client, but shall not be permitted to show explicit detail, development or IP gained by the client during the project.

8.2 – Wherever the results of any commissioned work are cited by the client, the client agrees to make due reference to ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd so as to make it clear who carried out the work, except where ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd explicitly waives this right. This provision is notwithstanding the over-riding position over ownership of said product (outlined in Clause 7, Rights of Ownership, above).

9. Liability for Advice Given

9.1 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd provides information, advice and services in good faith based upon information available at the time. We do not warrant the accuracy of information provided. It is for the client to decide whether or not to accept our advice in making his own management decision. We advise that any data critical to a decision should be independently verified prior to being acted upon. Therefore ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd accepts no liability for the consequences of its information opinions and advice whether direct or indirect.

10. Liability of ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd

10.2 – ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd will be under no liability to the Client whatsoever (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, restitution or otherwise) for any injury, death, damage or direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and like loss) howsoever caused arising out of or in connection with: any of the Services, or sale or supply, or failure or delay in supply, of the Services by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd or on the part of ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd’s employees, agents or sub-contractors; any breach by ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd of any of the express or implied terms of the Contract; any use made or resale by the Client of any of the Services, or of any product incorporating any of the services; any statement made or not made, or advice given or not given, by or on behalf of ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd or; any infringement of any patents, copyrights, registered designs or any form of intellectual properties.

13.2 – The termination of the Contract howsoever arising is without prejudice to the rights, duties and liability of either the Client or ITERATE Design and Innovation Ltd accrued prior to termination. The conditions which expressly or impliedly have effect after termination will continue to be in force notwithstanding termination.
