Terms & Conditions
Copyright
Unless negotiated and agreed in writing, the copyrights of general artwork, commissioned artwork, illustrations, website design, programming and copy belong to The Dream Loft. If you supply us with material, it is your responsibility to obtain all necessary copyrights for its use, and we assume that you possess these. In such cases, the copyright belongs to you. By engaging the Dream Loft in any form of work, you agree to indemnify The Dream Loft from any claim which may or may not arise regarding the use of material with which you have supplied or commissioned. The onus of responsibility is in the hands of the client. We reserve the right to use any artwork or printing we produce for the purposes of promoting our services unless you request otherwise in writing. It is the client’s responsibility to certify that any wording, business names, strap lines, images or content used in any graphic representation created by the company is not breaching another’s copyright, trademark or registered trademark before any such representation is used. The Dream Loft will not be held accountable for any such case where the client has failed in this capacity.
Illegal Matter
The Dream Loft reserves the right not to print any matter deemed illegal, libellous or offensive, or which may be an infringement of the proprietary or other rights of any third party. This agreement indemnifies us in respect of any claims, costs and expenses arising out of any libellous matter or any infringement of copyright, patent, design or of any other proprietary or personal rights contained in any material printed for the customer. The indemnity shall extend to any amounts paid on a lawyer’s advice in settlement of any claim.
Consequential Loss
The Dream Loft accept no liability whatsoever for consequential or third party losses, resulting in a delay in delivery howsoever caused.
Financial Loss
The Dream Loft accept no liability whatsoever for financial loss or loss of earnings arising from products or services provided by The Dream Loft.
Force Majeure
The Dream Loft accept no responsibility if we are unable to carry out any provision of the contract for any reason beyond our control including (without limiting the foregoing) Act of God, legislation, war, fire, flood, drought, failure of power supply, lock-out, strike or other action taken by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a dispute or owing to any inability to procure materials required for the performance of the contract. During the continuance of such a contingency you may, by written notice to ourselves, elect to terminate the contract and pay for work done and materials used, but subject thereto shall otherwise accept delivery when available.
Liability
The Dream Loft shall not be liable for any loss to the customer arising from delay in transit caused by circumstances beyond The Dream Loft control.
Price Breakdown
The invoice we send you will be itemised, showing the cost of the design and research process, as well as the production itself. Supplying us with suitable material will, therefore, reduce the time spent on design and, thereby, the final charge.
Jobs Put On Hold or Cancelled by the Client
Jobs put on hold or cancelled by the client during production will be invoiced at current stage and materials. This invoice must be paid in full together with any VAT that falls due accordingly.
Data Protection
The Dream Loft agrees keep the confidential information of its clients confidential, including all administration areas of websites and details of referrers and those who are referred. All such data recorded by a website will be completely secure, and all information will be treated as confidential in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
Payment Terms
Digital Storage
A copy of all artwork is stored on hard drive by The Dream Loft as a curtesy to the client, but it is the client’s responsibility to keep backup copies for their use.
