In these terms of business 'we' or 'our' refer to Diablo Graphics Limited ('the Company').

Your relationship is solely with the Company, and the Company has sole legal liability for the work done for you and for any act or omission in the course of that work. No officer, consultant or employee of the Company will have any personal legal liability for that work whether in contract, tort, negligence or any other cause of action. In particular, the fact that an individual officer, consultant or employee signs in his or her own name any letter or other document in the course of carrying out that work does not mean he or she is assuming any personal legal liability for that letter or document.
OUR RELATIONSHIP
We value our relationship with you and welcome any suggestions for its improvement. We are committed to resolving problems that may arise with our services. It is therefore important that you immediately raise any concerns you may have with us.
YOUR WORK
We will agree with you at the outset the scope of the work. We are not responsible for matters that are outside the scope of the work agreed. All prices are as quoted on the Brandstop website. The Company will not be liable for any delays caused during the design process. You must pay to us, on demand, all reasonable costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by us (including, without limitation, any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit and loss of reputation, loss or damage to property and those arising from injury to or death of any person and loss of opportunity to deploy resources elsewhere) arising directly or indirectly from any of the following acts or omissions by you: fraud, negligence, failure to perform or delay in the performance of any of your obligations.

Work will commence following full payment and order details either through the website or by email or telephone.
DESIGN PROCESS

The prices quoted on the Brandstop website are promotional prices. These prices are for the studio time for the initial set of designs. We agree as part of the promotion to make simple revisions to meet with your approval of the final design. Revisions may include colour variations, font substitutions and tweaks to the components of the proposed logo designs. However, totally separate or new design ideas that explore a direction outside of the original agreed brief may incur additional charges based on an hourly rate. Should this arise we would discuss the options with you before further development commences.

We endeavour to turnaround initial designs 2 to 3 working days. The promotional prices are based on volume business and therefore there may occasionally be small delays in the turnaround. The company will not be liable for any delays caused during the design process. Whilst every effort is made to ensure there are no delays, it is your responsibility to contact the company in the event that designs have not been received within the agreed timescales. The company will not be held responsible for delays caused due to non receipt of emails.

Feedback provided in relation to the design must be clear and constructive. It must be sent by email, we are happy to discuss changes over the phone once the email has been received.

Only email confirmation to sign off/approve the design will be accepted. Once a design has been signed off and final files created the design process will be considered complete and any further changes will be chargeable.

We reserve the right to charge extra where:


PRINTING
We are not responsible for print errors. If you choose to use us to print you will receive a proof which must be agreed before print commences. If you print with another company it is between yourselves to agree a proof. Colours differ on screen and in print, you may provide us with pantone or CMYK references at the beginning of the order and we will happily use them. Some printers require specific artwork to be supplied, if you do not plan to use us for print please send us artwork specifications for your chosen printer before we start the design process, otherwise further costs may be charged if we have to make changes after final files have been sent.
OUR LIABILITY
Despite our best efforts we may make a mistake, by which we mean any breach of our duties to you. If we do, and are liable to compensate you, you agree that our liability is limited in the following respects:

We are liable for loss that we directly cause where that total liability does not exceed the total amount of the fees payable relating to the project in question. Otherwise we have no liability for any indirect or consequential loss or loss of anticipated profit or other benefit and shall not be liable for any of the following:


Notwithstanding the references to mistakes the above exclusions and limitations apply to our entire financial liability (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees, agents, consultants, and subcontractors) to the Customer in respect of:

PRICES AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS
