Inbox Design Standard Terms and Conditions

Pricing and Payments

Projects are billed hourly or by the project, depending on the scope of the work. Specific fees and payment terms will be detailed in your project proposal. A 10% monthly fee may be charged on any invoices more than 7 days overdue. Fees are non-refundable. Finished work not yet approved by client beyond 15 days shall be billed. Client assumes responsibility for all collection of legal fees necessitated by default in payment. Standard practice is to charge 30% of the project fee on acceptance of the project, 30% as a progress payment once half way through the project, and the 40% balance is due on project completion, or go-live in terms of the website. 

All prices quoted are exclusive of GST and are subject to change without notice.

Estimates

We make every effort to be as accurate and complete as possible on estimates. To receive a project estimate, you must submit the exact specifications of your job. In some cases, a range estimate will be given, based on knowledge of project at time of estimate. If, upon receipt of all project elements, We determine the scope of the project has been changed from the originally agreed-upon concept, the project may be re-estimated.

Minor revisions are anticipated, but major design/content changes may go beyond the scope of the estimate. The client's approval will be obtained for any increases in fees or expenses that exceed the original estimate by 10%. Final fees and expenses will be shown when invoice is rendered. Estimate is valid for 30 days from date of estimate. All outsourced fees will be estimated separately.

Email hosting whether via our Hosted Google platform or another platform are on sold at a very reasonable rate which generally just covers our reseller costings. Domain Names and renewals are currently $45.00 plus GST per year. These rates are subject to change without notice depending on exchange rates and inflation.

Mileage may be billed at the current IRD mileage rate of 79 cents per km.
