Consultancy Fees

Moriarti's Fees are exclusive of VAT. These fees apply to work carried out for the Services agreed between the Client and Moriarti. They are specific for each project or piece of work undertaken and will be agreed in advance; any further project or piece of work will be subject to separate fee arrangements.

Project Fees & Payment Terms

Charges for design services to be provided by Moriarti, will be set out in the written estimate or quotation that is provided to the Client. All quotations for services and the supply of goods are valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated. At the time of the Client's signed acceptance of this estimate or quotation, indicating acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, Moriarti will invoice an agreed % of the total quoted Services fees at the start of each Client project. The remaining % of the Services fees will be invoiced upon agreed delivery milestones of approved design, artwork or in certain cases upon completion of the Services as may be specified and agreed to by Moriarti and Client.

Moriarti's Fee invoices, and Purchases and Expenses invoices, are payable no later than 14 days after whichever is earlier from 1. invoice date, or 2.

Moriarti sent email time stamp where invoice was attached electronically unless otherwise stated and agreed in writing.

If any amount of an invoice is disputed then the Client shall inform Moriarti of the grounds for such dispute within 7 days of the date of the invoice or sent email time stamp where invoice was attached electronically and shall pay to the Moriarti the value of the invoice less the disputed amount in accordance with these payment terms. Once settlement of the dispute has been agreed, any sum then outstanding shall also be payable in accordance with these payment terms.

There are two fundamental principles on which the Moriarti/Client financial relationship is based:

i) Moriarti shall finance its own operations, but not costs incurred on behalf of its clients

ii) Moriarti, in its dealings with suppliers, shall pay timeously all supplier invoices.

Where Moriarti's standard terms of business are used, It is therefore essential that Moriarti is paid by the Client within the 14 day period.

Accounts which remain outstanding for 30 days after the date of invoice or sent email time stamp where invoice was attached electronically, will incur an extra charge of 8% per month above the Bank of England's base rate of the outstanding amount. Payments may be made by cash, cheque, or (for overseas customers), Pound Sterling International Money Order or previously agreed electronic funds transfer. Publication and/or release of work completed by Moriarti on behalf of the client, may not take place before cleared funds have been received.

Digital Deliverables Go Live

Moriarti will notify the Client by email that a final build of the Client website or web based application has been uploaded to Moriarti's staging server for Client review and approval. Once live on Moriarti's staging server, Moriarti will issue a Go Live invoice to the Client by email that must be paid in full before the approved website or web application on Moriarti's staging server will be uploaded to the live server.

Changes to the Services

Once Moriarti has started work on any agreed Services, if the client decides to cancel or put on hold the delivery of these Services, or there are undue client delays that impact the delivery of services more than 21 days, for whatever reason, Moriarti shall be entitled to invoice the client for all fees and costs incurred up to the point that the agreed Services was cancelled, put on hold or unduly delayed.



Out of scope Services

Client Alterations

The Client agrees that changes required over and above the estimated Services or required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design will be liable to a separate charge. The Client also agrees that Moriarti holds no responsibility for any amendments made by any third party, before or after a design is published.

Rights to unused ideas, sketches and designs

Where the Client engages Moriarti to create the agreed Services, it is agreed by both parties that the Services includes only the final, deliverable designs and/or artwork and not any preliminary ideas, concepts, sketches, designs as may be required as part of the delivery of the final Services.

Designers Tools

Moriarti may incorporate certain Designer Tools into digital Services deliverables. "Designer Tools" means all design tools developed or utilised by Moriarti in performing the Services, including without limitation: pre-existing and newly developed software, Web authoring tools, type fonts, and application tools. In the event Designer Tools are incorporated into any final Services delivered, then Moriarti grants the Client a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the Designer Tools to the extent necessary to use the final Services delivered. Moriarti retains all other rights in the Designer Tools."
