Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and our policies, we shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to provide this Site on 24/7 basis. You acknowledge and agree that from time to time this Site may be inaccessible for any reason including, but not limited to, periodic maintenance, repairs or replacements that we undertake from time to time, or other causes beyond our control including, but not limited to, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links or other failures.

All work undertaken will be as per the agreed to quotation. The quotation will detail the scope of work, estimated timeframe, deliverables, and any associated costs.
It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the quotation and all associated terms are thoroughly read and understood prior to booking. Any amendments or additional work will be subject to additional costs and will only be undertaken once agreed upon by both parties.
Company reserves the right to revise the quotation should there be any changes to the project scope or requirements. The revised quotation will be provided to the Client for approval prior to proceeding with any additional work.
Unless otherwise stated in the quotation, all expenses will be invoiced in the final invoice.
Costs associated with the project will be discussed during initial consultations/meetings with Company. Costs may be estimated and inferred during these discussions, but the final accepted quote and its deliverables will reflect the actual cost.
Company shall submit invoices in line with the timescales specified in the quote and statement of work. Payment is due on receipt of the invoice by the Client.
Payment for services is due by bank transfer or online via a payment gateway.
If the Client fails to make any payment due to Company by the due date for payment, then, without limiting Company’s remedies under or in connection with these terms and conditions, the Client shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Client shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. The Client will receive 3 reminders of upcoming or due payments.
Payments not received on the due date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on Company’s web space, Company will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. Company is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay Company reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by Company in enforcing these Terms.
Company requires clients to pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the project cost before any work can begin. This deposit will be used to cover any initial costs associated with the project. This deposit may also be used to cover other expenses necessary to initiate the project. The deposit does not guarantee the final cost of the project, nor does it cover the entire cost of the project.
The deposit of 50% of the estimated project cost is non-refundable and will be forfeited in the event that the client cancels the project or changes the scope of work after work has commenced. The deposit will be applied towards the final invoice for the project, which will be based on the actual time spent and expenses incurred during the course of the project.
As part of our project management process, we include a change control process. This will come into effect if your needs change or you find you need additional features after a statement of work has been accepted by the Client, or the Company has begun work on the project.
Company will request the Client to fill in a simple form and will assess whether the change is possible at the stage it has been requested, if it can be included as part of the costs or whether it will incur an extra cost.
The Company must ensure that work scheduled is carried out and completed by the scheduled timeline agreed in the statement of work.
The Client is required to provide all the required information and materials to complete the project in advance, and any additional information when requested. On any occasion where progress cannot be made or is delayed because Client has not provided the required information or materials in the agreed time frame, Company reserves the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the Charges.
If the Client agrees to provide Company with required information or materials and subsequently fail to do so within one week of the agreement, Company reserves the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately.
Company will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the deliverables once they are completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies Company otherwise within five (5) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client unless otherwise stated in the statement of work.
Company reserves the right to cease offering or providing any of the Services at any time, for any or no reason, and without prior notice. Although Company makes great effort to maximize the lifespan of all its Services, there are times when a Service we offer will be discontinued. If that is the case, that product or service will no longer be supported by Company. In such case, Company will either offer a comparable Service for you to migrate to or a refund. Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Services we may offer or facilitate access to.
Once a quote has been accepted and the deposit or full payment is made, the deposit is only refundable if a refund is requested within 14 days of accepting the quote, and providing work has not begun. If a project gets cancelled, delayed, or postponed by the customer, then the deposit will be retained by CogniTech Systems LTD and if applicable, an additional cost will be charged to the customer for all work completed beyond what was already paid. All projects that are completed as defined in the scope of the work are non-refundable.
