Terms and Conditions
Updated October 6th, 2023

GENERAL CONDITIONS

All preparation materials, sketches, visuals, including the electronic files used to create the project remain the property of NewtonDesign.co. The final artwork/digital files will become the property of the client mentioned in this proposal ONLY upon final payment of the project.

It cannot be stress enough that if final payment is NOT received as agreed and set out in the initial proposal, all designs and concepts will remain the property of NewtonDesign.co until payment is received. If there are issues with the final payment, NewtonDesign.co then reserve the right to reuse or amend any of these ideas/designs for other clients or to be used freely as concepts in my portfolio. 

Should the client attempt to use/modify/alter/replicate or steal any of my ideas/designs without making agreed final payment, Newton Design.co will take immediate legal counsel.

NewtonDesign.co reserves the right to show any artwork, ideas, sketches created for this project in a portfolio as examples of client work. This can be during the project and also on completion. If you have any specific secrecy requirements, please mention this before agreeing to the proposal.

Final payment ensures that ONLY the agreed design becomes the clients property. Any previous ideas/concepts remain the property of NewtonDesign.co unless any prior agreement has been made.

NewtonDesign.co reserve the right to suspend any project if a client: interferes with excessive micromanaging, demonstrates a continued lack of trust and inability to move forward after showing more than a reasonable number of unique designs/concepts and/or shows reluctance in paying the final payment. If the client shows a lack of focus in getting a project finished through no communication after 60 days the deposit will be non-refundable.

Fair notice will be given with fair chance to remedy the situation without resorting to project suspension or termination. Any suspension or termination will not result in any refunds.

If you (the client) choose to cancel the project midway through the project, where ideas and proposals have been submitted, refund of previous payment is not possible. However, depending on the work completed and overall budget, a portion of the funds ‘may’ be returned.

If Jon Newton falls ill or is unable to complete the project due to unforeseen circumstances a portion of the overall budget will be returned. In most cases the complete amount will be refunded. If the work so far completed can be used for another designer to pick up, then a percentage will be refunded based on work completed or any other reasonable suggestion will be considered.

NewtonDesign.co accepts no legal liability for loss or damage caused by any work carried out by Jon Newton Design.

PAYMENT TERMS

NewtonDesign.co reserve the right to require a first payment or ‘deposit’ of between 50% and 75% of the agreed total costs before any work will be carried out.

For work of value less than £400, NewtonDesign.co reserves the right to invoice for full payment, and receive full payment of said invoice, before any work commences.
