This amount is non-refundable, and we will only start working on your project once we have received it. Upon completion of the project, you will be sent a final invoice for the remaining 50% plus any charges for any additional work performed by us. We will not release any work to you, or let your website go live until we have received this final payment.

All payments are to be made within 7 days of the date of the invoice, without deduction, set-off or demand by NEFT into a bank account nominated by us. We do not accept cash. All amounts not paid within 7 days of the date of the invoice will incur interest at a rate of Prime plus 1% from the due date until the date of payment. In addition, we will be entitled to remove any of our work from any computer systems and/or suspend your access to any services provided by us without notice to you, until all outstanding amounts have been paid in full.
