A deposit of 50% is required with any project before
any design work will be carried out.
Once a web site has been designed and completed the
final balance of payment is then due in accordance with
our payment terms. There are no exceptions to this,
i.e. If the client decides they no longer want the site,
as they have commissioned the work and paid a deposit
they are still obliged to pay for the work that has
been done. Non payment will result in legal action being
taken if necessary.
Database, Application and E-Commerce Development
Interactive Technology Ltd cannot take responsibility
for any losses incurred by the use of any software created
for the client. Whilst every care has been taken to
ensure products are problem free and accurate, the ultimate
responsibility lies with the client in ensuring that
all software is functioning correctly before use.

Where applications or sites are developed on servers
not recommended by Interactive Technology Ltd, the client
is expected to provide or seek any information, additional
software, support or co-operation pertaining to the
server required in order for the application to be correctly
developed. Where large applications are to be developed,
it is the clients responsibility to provide a suitable
testing environment which is identical to the final
production environment.
The client is expected to test fully any application
or programming relating to a site developed by Interactive

these issues to meet the standards of function outlined

out by Interactive Technology Ltd or its affiliates
are required to be paid in full upon completion of the
Web Design Project unless by prior arrangement with
Interactive Technology Ltd.
Once a deposit is paid and work completed you are
obliged to pay the balance of payment in full. We will
contact clients via email and telephone to remind them
of such payments if they are not received when due.
If accounts are not settled or Interactive
Technology Ltd have not been contacted regarding the
delay, access to the related web site may be denied
and web pages removed, we will then pass such cases
to the Law Court, where non payment will result in court
judgments being added to the clients credit rating.

Solicitors will contact the client in question, with
a view to taking the matter further and if need be to
seek payment through legal procedures, and if necessary
