Terms
How I work, contractually.
These are the standard terms. Larger organisations and government agencies usually have their own, which is fine. Send them across and I will read them properly rather than sign them blind. Questions to hello@yawn.marketing.
The scope is the contract
Every engagement starts with a written scope covering deliverables, price, timing and what I need from you. That document, once you accept it, is what we both work to. Anything outside it is quoted separately before it starts.
Payment
Projects are fifty per cent on acceptance and the balance on delivery. Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance with a minimum term of three months. Invoices are due within fourteen days unless your procurement terms say otherwise and we have agreed to them in writing.
Pass through costs
Media, print, production, photography, talent and licences are charged at cost with the supplier invoice attached, and approved by you before they are committed.
Ownership
Once the final invoice is paid, you own the deliverables and the source files. I keep the right to describe the work and show it in a portfolio unless you ask me not to, which is a reasonable thing to ask and I will agree to it.
Confidentiality
I treat everything you share as confidential and I am happy to sign your NDA. Where a project needs a specialist from my network, they are bound by the same terms.
Ending an engagement
Either of us can end a retainer with thirty days written notice. If a project stops early, you pay for the work completed to that point and you get everything produced so far.
Governing law
Engagements are governed by the laws of Fiji unless a client contract states otherwise and I have agreed to it in writing.
