Prices quoted are only an estimate, and may be subject to change during the process of design and development (for example, when you choose to amend any aspect of your requirements).
Any charges incurred by international payments or international bank transfers are not the responsibility of Lookafter. Such charges must be paid by the client, in addition to the amounts invoiced by Lookafter. Lookafter does not accept "shared charges" for international bank transfers or international payments.
Unless expressly agreed in writing with the client, full payment of the Services is required before work begins.
Payment for the Services is due by bank transfer. Bank details will be made available on invoices.
Unless expressly agreed in writing with the client, Lookafter will only commence work for the Services once full payment is made and all required materials are supplied. The timeline for completion of the Services may vary and can take from 5 to 14 days after commencement of work for the Services.
You must supply all materials and information required by Lookafter to complete the work in accordance with any agreed specification. Such materials may include without limitation photographs, written copy, movie clips, sound files and logo.
