Supply of service

1. Agreement

Jupper Ltd of First Floor, Telecom House, 125-135 Preston Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 6AF, United Kingdom

(“We/Us/Company” in this Agreement); and you the client (“You/Client” in this Agreement)

2. Overview

These are the terms and conditions referred to in your order (‘Order’) for Us to supply You with Design (‘Services’).

They describe the terms on which We will supply the Services to You, and they explain our responsibility to You if We fail to meet these standards.

3. The Contract

3.1 The Order is your offer to buy the Services from Us on these Conditions, and You must make sure that the Order (and any specification that forms part of your Order) is correct.
3.2 When You accept in writing our formal quotation, You have a binding contract with Us, and these Conditions are part of it.
3.3 The formal quotation is our entire agreement. No previous statements or representations that We have made to You form part of the contract unless they are written into it. This includes samples, drawings, advertising, catalogues and other promotional or descriptive material.
3.4 If either of Us needs to give the other a notice under the contract (‘Notice’), the Notice must be given properly to be effective. Clause 11.4 explains how to give a proper Notice.

4. Our Services

4.1 We will supply the Services to You that are set out in the formal quotation. Any performance dates are estimates, and We are not guaranteeing those timings.
4.2 We can change the Services if necessary to comply with any regulations, or if our changes don’t affect the nature and quality of the Services. If We decide to make a change, We will tell You in a Notice.

5. Your Obligations

5.1 You must do the following things:
5.1.1 co-operate with Us so that We can supply the Services properly;
5.1.2 obtain any licences and permission needed for Us to supply the Services before We start;
5.2 If We can’t supply the Services because You have prevented Us (for example by causing delay, or by not doing something You were supposed to do), We can stop supplying the services until You have put the matter right (at your own cost). In this case, We will not be responsible for any costs or losses caused to You.

6. Our Charges

6.1 We can charge You for any expenses You pre-approve in writing that We incur in supplying the Services (for example, travel, subsistence, accommodation, materials, and the cost of services supplied by others).
6.2 We will add VAT to our invoices.
6.3 We will invoice You when We finish the Services, and You will pay Us in full within 14 days of the invoice date.
6.4 If You fail to pay on time, We may charge You interest at 2% per year above Bank of England’s base rate from time to time from the due date until You pay Us, and this rate applies before or after any court judgment in our favour on the debt. The interest will be earned daily and You must pay it all with the overdue amount.
6.5 You are not allowed to hold back any payment due to Us as a set-off or credit or counterclaim in relation to money which You think We owe to You unless the law allows it. However, We may set off any amount You owe Us against any amount We owe You.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Your use of intellectual property rights owned by someone else depends upon Us getting a licence from the owner for You to use those rights.

8. Financial Problems and Breach

8.1 If any of the events listed below takes place, or if We think that any of them is likely to happen, We can cancel or suspend our Services or send You a Notice to end the contract straightaway and You must immediately pay Us all sums that You owe Us for Services We have supplied to You. The events are:
8.1.1 You stop, or threaten to stop, paying your debts (this includes your failure to pay Us for the Services on time in the way described in clause 6);
8.1.2 You are unable to pay your debts when they arise, or You are deemed to be unable to pay your debts under the legislation known as the Insolvency Act 1986;
8.1.3 You negotiate with any creditors who You owe money to reschedule your debts to them, or You enter into any arrangement or compromise with your creditors concerning your debts;
8.1.4 a petition is filed, a notice is given, a resolution is passed or an order is made for your company to be wound up (except if that happens as part of You combining with another company whilst You are still solvent), or for your bankruptcy;
8.1.5 one or more of your creditors or someone else You owe money to becomes entitled to appoint an administrative receiver or takes possession of any of your assets, or any other legal action is taken against your assets;
8.1.6 a court application or order is made for the appointment of an administrator over You and your affairs;
8.1.7 You stop carrying on business, or threaten to do so;
8.1.8 You die or lose physical or mental capacity (if You are an individual);
8.1.9 You seriously breach your contract with Us.

These include death, personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, breach of the terms implied by section 2 of the legislation known as the Sale of Goods and Services Act 1982 (which entitles You to title and quiet possession of your goods) or any other matter that the law says We can’t exclude. But otherwise, any warranties or terms which are implied into this contract by any piece of law are excluded.
9.3 Neither of Us will be liable to the other for failure or delay in carrying out this contract which is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, which We could not have foreseen or which was unavoidable. This includes industrial disputes, energy or transport failures, acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, explosions, mechanical breakdown, natural disasters, deliberate damage, or failures of suppliers or sub-contractors to do what they are supposed to
