Personal information

We retain and use all information strictly under the Privacy Policy.

We may contact you by using e-mail or other electronic communication methods and by pre-paid post and you expressly agree to this.

Basis of Sale

The description of the Services and any Goods in our website does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the Services or Goods. When an Order has been submitted on the Website, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.

The Order process is set out on the Website. Each step allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the Order. It is your responsibility to check that you have used the ordering process correctly.

A Contract will be formed for the Services ordered only when you receive an email from us confirming the Order (Order Confirmation). You must ensure that the Order Confirmation is complete and accurate and inform us immediately of any errors.

We are not responsible for any inaccuracies in the Order placed by you.

No variation of the Contract, whether about description of the Services, Fees or otherwise, can be made after it has been entered into unless the variation is agreed by the Customer and the Supplier in writing.

We intend that these Terms and Conditions apply only to a Contract entered into by you as a Consumer. If this is not the case, you must tell us, so that we can provide you with a different contract with terms which are more appropriate for you and which might, in some respects, be better for you, e.g. by giving you rights as a business.

Conformity

We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.

Upon delivery, the Goods will:

Be of satisfactory quality;
Be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
Conform to their description.

It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.

We will supply the Services with reasonable skill and care.

We will provide the following after-sales service: The supplier will provide printing services where needed with the option of free and/or additional charges for priority/faster delivery.

In relation to the Services, anything we say or write to you, or anything someone else says or writes to you on our behalf, about us or about the Services, is a term of the Contract (which we must comply with) if you take it into account when deciding to enter this Contract, or when making any decision about the Services after entering into this Contract.

Anything you take into account is subject to anything that qualified it and was said or written to you by us or on behalf of us on the same occasion, and any change to it that has been expressly agreed between us (before entering this Contract or later).

Risk and Title

Risk of damage to, or loss of, any Goods will pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you.

You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

Withdrawal and cancellation

You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.

This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods and services (with no others) in the following circumstances:

Foodstuffs, beverages or other goods intended for current consumption in the household and which are supplied on frequent and regular rounds to your residence or workplace.
Goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.
Goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

Duration, termination and suspension

The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.

Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or suspension to the other if that other:

Commits a serious breach, or series of breaches resulting in a serious breach, of the Contract and the breach either cannot be fixed or is not fixed within 30 days of the written notice; or

On termination of the Contract for any reason, any of our respective remaining rights and liabilities will not be affected.

Successors and our sub-contractors

Circumstances beyond the control of either party

In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:

The party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
The party's obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer's above rights relating to delivery (and the right to cancel below).

Services

The description of the Services and any Goods is as set out in the Website; catalogues; brochures or other form of advertisement. Any description is for illustrative purposes only and there may be small discrepancies in the size and colour of any Goods supplied.

or specification you provide is accurate.

All Services which appear on the Website are subject to availability.

We can make changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement. We will notify you of these changes.

Website Design

A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required with all of our projects before any design work is carried out. When development reaches between 40-60 estimated completion and upon review, additional 25% of the total cost is due to be collected and the remaining (25%) balance is due upon project's completion and prior to the transfer of files to client's server from our demo server.

The demo server will continue to serve the purpose of showcasing the site to the client until transfer process takes place. There are no exceptions to this, i.e should the client decides to no longer want the site, as they have commissioned the work and paid a deposit they are still obliged to pay for the work that has been done.

Non payment will result in legal action being taken if necessary. Once full payment is received for a website, it is assumed that the project has been completed to the clients satisfaction and no refunds can be offered at any point, prior or after. We do offer free updates/maintenance for up to a month after completion to allow for any final amendments necessary.

Whilst every endeavour will be made to ensure that the website and any scripts or programs are free of errors, Kitrox Designs cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred due to malfunction to the website, loss of data or any part of it but we may provide solution, we may charge for this or do it for free with discretion.

Any scripts, CGI applications, PHP scripts, or software (unless specifically agreed) written by Kitrox Designs remain the copyright of Kitrox Designs and may only be commercially reproduced or resold with the permission of Kitrox Designs.

Kitrox Designs cannot take responsibility for any copyright infringements caused by materials submitted by the client or used by the client in the future on their website. We reserve the right to refuse to bear any responsibility for any material of a copyrighted nature provided by client, it is the client's responsibility to ensure content is secured for usage.

Where no charge is made by Kitrox Designs for such additions, Kitrox Designs accept no responsibility to ensure such additions are error free and reserve the right to charge a respective amount for any correction to these or further additions.

The client agrees to make available as soon as is reasonably possible to Kitrox Designs all materials needed to complete the site to the agreed standard and within the set deadline, not producing the content on time or the right content on time can consequently necessitate deadline extension.

Kitrox Designs will not be liable for costs incurred, compensation or loss of earnings due to the failure to meet agreed deadlines.
Kitrox Designs will not be liable or become involved in any disputes between the site owner and their clients.
Kitrox Designs cannot be held responsible for any wrong doing on the part of a site owner e.g. any disputes regarding content/images that have been provided to us for inclusion on the site.

provides materials of which there is certainty about it's copyright nature. Any liability associated with materials solicited on behalf of the client for the client is thereof transferred to client.

Where applications or sites are developed on servers not recommended by Kitrox Designs, the client is expected to provide or seek any information, additional software, support or co-operation pertaining to the server required in order for the application to be correctly developed from the provider.

Where large applications are to be developed, it is the client’s responsibility to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment. The client is expected to test fully any application or programming relating to a site developed by Kitrox Designs before being made generally available for use.

Website Optimisation

Due to external factors, such as changes to the way search engines rank websites, we cannot offer any guarantees regarding the position we will achieve for websites. The process of optimising websites itself will bring in more traffic and hits and you'll see visits increase to your site naturally. We cannot accept liability for any change in rankings, or drop off in the position of your website due to changes in the algorithms of the search engines or the factors that they use to rank websites. We use 'white hat techniques' when optimising websites and always aim to achieve a top ten ranking for your website within six months of undertaking the optimisation process. Due to the work involved payment, is essentially required in advance and we are unable to offer a refund of any monies to clients in relation to this or any type of work for that matter.

It is Kitrox Designs' policy that any outstanding accounts for work carried out by Kitrox Designs or its affiliates are required to be paid in full, no later than 7 days from the date of the invoice unless by prior arrangement with Kitrox Designs. Once a deposit is paid and work commence, subsequent payment is made and once completed you are obliged to pay the balance of payment in full before the transfer of ownership or delivery. We will correspond with clients via email, telephone, email, Whatsapp, BBM or other social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to remind them of such payments if they are not received when due. If accounts are not settled or Kitrox Designs have not been contacted regarding delays, access to the related website may be denied and web pages removed and we may take further legal actions if necessary.

Payments and Processing of Invoices

The fees (Fees) for the Services, the price of any Goods (if not included in the Fees) and any additional delivery or other charges is that set out on the Website at the date we accept the Order or such other price as we may agree in writing. Prices for Services may be calculated on a fixed price or on a standard daily rate basis.

Delivery

We will deliver the Services, including any Goods, to the Delivery Location by the time or within the agreed period or, failing any agreement:

In the case of Services, within a reasonable time; and
In the case of Goods, without undue delay and, in any event, not more than 30 days after the day on which the Contract is entered into.

In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Services on time, you can require us to reduce the Fees or charges by an appropriate amount (including the right to receive a refund for anything already paid above the reduced amount). The amount of the reduction can, where appropriate, be up to the full amount of the Fees or charges.

In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in addition to any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if:

We have refused to deliver the Goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time the Contract was made, or you said to us before the Contract was made that delivery on time was essential; or
After we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances and we have not delivered within that period.

If you treat the Contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made under the Contract.

If you were entitled to treat the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the Order for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all payments made under the Contract for any such cancelled or rejected Goods. If the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.

If any Goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit, you cannot cancel or reject the Order for some of those Goods without also cancelling or rejecting the Order for the rest of them.

We do not generally deliver to addresses outside England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Channels Islands. If, however, we accept an Order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or other taxes, as we will not pay them.

You agree we may deliver the Goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.

If you or your nominee fail, through no fault of ours, to take delivery of the Services at the Delivery Location, we may charge the reasonable costs of storing and redelivering them.

The Goods will become your responsibility from the completion of delivery or Customer collection. You must, if reasonably practicable, examine the Goods before accepting them.

Refund Policy

We do not have to provide a refund if you have changed your mind about a particular purchase, so please choose carefully. If the goods are faulty, we will meet our obligations under the applicable laws. However, if non-faulty accounts are cancelled within one week of the initial payment, a 50% refund will be issued.
