Refund

MIDS will not refund any project cost once the client authorizes us to proceed with the project.

Development fees

A deposit of 50% of custom design or development fees are payable in advance before any work commences. This fee is non refundable. At the completion of the design mock-up stage, you may cancel without incurring further expense. Payment of the remaining 50% is required once you authorise us to complete the job. Receipt of this payment is due before the design can be made live.

The estimate provided by MIDS to our esteemed customers will have a validity period of 5 business days before it is accepted. After this period we have the right to rework on our estimates if the need so arises.

50% of the project cost to be given by the client at the time of commencement of the project. Remaining 50% should be provided once the design is made and the mockups are accepted by the client.

Reserve

We reserve the right to hire subcontractors on any given project should the need arise.

Timely manner

At MIDS we understand the importance of completing projects in a timely manner. However, any delays incurred by the client will cause a subsequent and equal delay in any agreed schedules, and will impede our ability to meet any deadlines previously agreed to at the beginning of the project. The client agrees to make available as soon as is reasonably possible to MIDS all materials required to complete the site to the agreed standard and within the set deadline. The failure to provide information by the client will result in delay. Incase of a significant delay, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge on the client's project. We will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.

Client related delay

Should any project be inactive for a period of 30 days (or more) due to any client related delay, a reestablishment fee of [9% of Project cost] + GST will apply in order to cover time spent becoming reacquainted with the requirements of the project. A client related delay includes failure to pay invoices within the required timeframe. It also includes client not providing necessary information for the work to proceed, delay in decision making etc.

Payments

Upon completion of the project and upon full payments for services rendered, MIDS will transfers all rights and ownership of custom designs to the client. Software and third party graphics or programs are not transferred to the client, and remain under copyright of their respective owners or publishers. MIDS reserves the right to resell custom designed websites that remain unpaid by the original client. We also reserve the right to resell unaccepted mock-ups or other graphics created, or code written by us. MIDS also reserves the right to display websites and graphics that have been designed and/or built by us in our website and in any marketing material.
