Terms — 50% of the fee is due upon acceptance of this proposal. The remainder will be invoiced on completion of work. The first invoice is payable before commencement, subsequent invoices are to be paid within 14 days. In the case of a website, the completion invoice will be due for payment before the website goes ‘live’.

Clients on a retainer contract will be sent a monthly bill with corresponding timesheet. Payment terms are 14 days from issue of any invoice.
OVERDUE INVOICE FEES. An administration fee of $45 + GST will be charged if payment is not received by the due date of invoice. If an amount remains delinquent 4 weeks after its due date, 5% of the total cost of the project will be added for each month of delinquency.

In the event you fail to pay our invoices by the due date or fail to adhere to a payment arrangement you entered into with the firm and we are forced to take action against you for recovery of monies owed to this firm, then enforcement expenses may become payable by you under this agreement on a solicitor client basis (indemnity basis). To the extent allowed by law, enforcement expenses may include those reasonably incurred by the use of our staff and facilities and any external debt recovery agents and/or solicitors. In this regard, in addition to our solicitors’ rates, those members of the firm working on collection of fees payable to the firm will be charged to you according to the following rates:
Office Manager $200.00 / hour + GST
Accounts Officer $100.00 / hour + GST
Where the final product is delayed on the Client’s behalf a progress payment may be invoiced to cover the cost of work to date.

External or outsourced supplier costs, including some design, website development, printing or technical support will be on top of Breadbox Marketing’s costs. External costs will be quoted for upfront and if external costs change for any reason, these costs will be passed onto the client, unless otherwise agreed. Where possible these will be re-quoted and approved prior to proceeding any further.

Disbursements and expenses, including but not limited to telephone, postage, general stationery, connectivity and internal printing, are not covered by the fee and are charged separately with a 5% to 10% administration fee added to each invoice.

Where staff members are required to travel on behalf of the client, this will be on charged to the clients at the standard ATO rates from 0.66c p/km.
Approval for expenditure for significant cost items will be sought prior to ordering, and competitive quotes will be obtained if required.
Breadbox Marketing will submit all media releases, articles, captions, copy, scripts, design and artwork to the client for approval, unless the client states otherwise.

Breadbox Marketing will take all responsible steps to comply with requests to change, reject or cancel plans, goods or services (including media) hired, bought or engaged on behalf of the client, provided this can be done within the contractual obligations to suppliers. The client will be responsible for the accuracy, completeness and propriety of information concerning the organisation, products, industry and services which it provides to Breadbox Marketing.

Two (2) rounds of client changes are included in each project cost unless otherwise stated. If more rounds of changes are required these will be charged at an hourly rate of $150.00 / hour. All change requests must be made in writing. If work has to be re-done because an incorrect brief has been supplied by the Client, or the brief changes in any way, we have the right to charge for changes made at our current hourly rate.

The Client is responsible for proofing all artwork and content thoroughly. Although Breadbox Marketing will proof all artwork, Breadbox Marketing accepts no responsibility for typographical errors, spelling mistakes, or incorrect information on any project committed to print or production. Any changes made to a project after the Client has approved any final work, whether verbally or in writing, will be billed to the Client at an hourly rate of $150.00 / hour.
If the Client chooses to do their own print production, Breadbox Marketing takes no responsibility for any errors or problems with the print job and will offer no compensation towards that job. Any changes to artwork to correct the issues will be charged at the hourly rate of $150.00 / hour.
We recommend all Clients obtain a printed proof from their printer before print production is carried out.

Work may be halted by the client at any time with the client eligible for payment of fees and expenses to date of cessation of work. Breadbox Marketing may halt work upon written notice due to arising conflicts of interest, project deadlock and non- payment of accounts.
