Payment terms
For any work over NZD500.00, a non-refundable minimum deposit of 30% may be required to commence work. The balance of the development cost is due within 7 days of the work being completed.
If payment terms are offered, these will be detailed in the base agreement and offered in good faith. In the event that terms are accepted, but are not kept current, the full amount owing (including interest) will come due immediately.
If payment is not made in full by the due date, we are entitled to charge you interest on the unpaid overdue balance at the rate of 5% per annum above the current overdraft rate charged by our bankers, compounding monthly on the unpaid balance owing on the first day of each month until payment in full is received by us, and we may charge you costs (including collection costs and legal costs on a solicitor-client basis). We reserve the right to notify Credit Agencies of the outstanding debt.
Most frequently, problems making payment timely are the result of poor communication channels in a company's Accounting Department. If a payment delay is anticipated, please contact the Company to discuss potential problems in advance.

Allowance is made within the hosting contract for 1 set of minor changes per month - these are NOT acclumulative and the timer is reset at the start of each calendar month.
Client Amendments
The Company understands that Clients may request significant design changes to pages that have already been built to the Client's specification. To that end, please note that our agreement does not include a provision for "significant page modification" or creation of additional pages in excess of our quote (as outlined in our quote for the client's site). If significant page modification is requested after a page has been built to the Client's specification, we must count it as an additional page.
Some examples of significant page modification at the request of the Client include:
• Developing a new table or layer structure to accommodate a substantial redesign at the Client's request
• Replacing more than 50% of the text to any given page at the Client's request.
• Creating a new navigation structure or changing the link graphics at the Client's request
• Significantly reconfiguring the Client's shopping cart with new product, shipping or discount calculation.
