1.1 In this agreement, including all Schedules and annexes:
2.1 In consideration for payment of the Price, we will provide the Services in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by you to pay all of the Price in full on the due date or dates for payment as set out in the Payment Schedule will result in us being able to suspend the provision of the Services with immediate effect.
2.2 We will provide the Services using reasonable skill and care.
2.3 Time shall not be of the essence for delivery of the Services.
2.4 We agree to comply with any special conditions detailed in Schedule 3.
2.5 In the event of a discrepancy or conflict between any special conditions detailed in Schedule 3 and the terms and conditions detailed in Part B of this agreement, the special conditions detailed in Schedule 3 shall prevail.
3.1 You agree to do all acts and things (including providing us and our subcontractors with access to all information and documentation which is within your possession or control) which is reasonably required by us to enable us to fulfil our obligations under this agreement.
3.2 You agree to comply with any special conditions detailed in Schedule 3.
3.3 In the event of a discrepancy or conflict between any special conditions detailed in Schedule 3 and the terms and conditions detailed in Part B of this agreement, the special conditions detailed in Schedule 3 shall prevail.
3.4 You will not, whether directly or indirectly as principal, agent, employee, director, partners, suppliers, associates or otherwise howsoever approach any individual or organisation who has during your period of being a customer been an employee of ours or been employed by us, if the purpose for such an approach is to get them to do work which could have been undertaken by us. Whether for monetary payment or otherwise. This covers existing employees and the twelve month period following the termination of an employees contract for whatever reason.
4.1 You agree to pay the Price in accordance with the Payment Schedule. Time for payment shall be of the essence.
4.2 All payments to be made by you under this agreement are stated exclusive of VAT which shall also be paid by you at the rate and from time to time in the manner prescribed by law.
4.3 If any sum payable under this agreement is not paid to us by you by the relevant due date as detailed in the Payment Schedule then you will pay interest on the overdue amount from the date due for payment to the actual date of payment at the rate of 8% per annum above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank from time to time in force. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may in the alternative claim interest at our discretion under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
4.4 Unless stated to the contrary in Schedule 1, you will be responsible for any additional costs levied by third parties (e.g. without limitation, domain name registrars or printers) whom we use to provide to you the Services.
4.5 All third party costs set out in the Payment Schedule must be paid by you to us in advance for us to forward to such third party. We will not pay such third party fees until such time as we are in receipt of the appropriate funds from you. For the avoidance of doubt we shall not be liable to you for any loss arising as a result of your failure to make full payment on the due dates of any sums detailed in this clause 4.5.
4.6 Web design/development costs are split into either 2, 3 or 4 staged payments. Once instructed to proceed with web design, development or project work there is no right to cancellation or a refund as we will book staff resources and commit them to your project.
4.7 Digital marketing management & PPC media spend fees will be invoiced at the start of each month (a month in advance) to be paid within 30 days. All setup costs will be billed within the first month’s management fee invoice and payment will be due on receipt. The initial period will be 12 months, with a 3 full calendar month’s rolling notice period thereafter. Reductions in service after the initial period would also require the same notice.
4.8 Your management fee enables you to send up to 2 emails per month unless otherwise stated. Any additional emails sent maybe charged extra setup time. Your send fees allow you to send to the maximum number of email addresses mentioned above per month. If these are not used within the month that they have been paid they can be rolled over by one month but then they will be lost. Any additional email addresses sent will be charged at an additional 1p per address. The email service is provided on a 12 month basis and includes a license to our own version of Dotmailer which can only be accessed and used through Wired Media. Your contract is with us and not with Dotmailer.
4.9 If no payment of PPC media spend is received for any given month your account maybe paused until adequate payment has been made. If accounts are paused management fees still apply.
4.10 Hosting fees (including backup, monitoring, dns, email, server upgrades & security patches) and domain fees are invoiced annually and will automatically renew each year. To cancel this service we require one full calendar months written notice prior to the automatic renewal date (as per the invoice). We are unable to provide a refund for any hosting time remaining. A cancellation fee will be charged to cover our time to remove the website, data and any associated services.
4.11 Support fees will be invoiced at the start of each month (a month in advance) to be paid within 30 days. A full 3 calendar month’s notice period is required to cancel.

5.6 If the Services include website hosting, you warrant that you are the legal proprietor of the websites to be hosted and that you are authorised to grant us and our sub-contractors access to such websites at all material times.
