We quote a fee once we have a
clear idea of the scope and scale of a project. Fees as a rule cover one
draft plus up to two sets of revisions, beyond which we reserve the right
to re-quote for additional work.
Changes to brief
Changes to the brief after work has begun
may result in additional fees. These will be agreed in advance before
carrying on with the work.
Purchase orders
If you operate a purchase order system, an order must be received before
work commences.
Expenses
In addition to our fees, we invoice for
costs incurred for travel outside London, overnight accommodation, and
other out-of-pocket expenses.
Invoicing
We invoice in one of two ways:
-
As a rule, we invoice half the
agreed fee on delivery of draft one, with the balance invoiced on
delivery of approved or third draft copy, whichever comes first.
-
Alternatively, we invoice at
defined stages of the project: typically, a proportion of the total
fee on commission with the balance invoiced on a per-draft or time-based
(ie, end of
week/month) basis.
All invoices are subject to VAT at
the prevailing rate.
Invoices must be paid within 30 days
of the date of issue.
Termination/rejection
If first draft copy is rejected and
the project terminated, half the total agreed job fee is payable as a
cancellation fee.
On termination of a project at any other stage, an invoice
will be submitted to cover work already undertaken plus any
expenses incurred.
Copyright
Copyright on all work remains with ampers& until relevant invoices
have been settled, at which point it transfers to the client.
Promotion
We reserve the right to use any work for our own promotional and
marketing purposes, with the exception of work which is not in the public
domain. Any such work will be used only with the client's explicit permission.
