Terms & Conditions Last updated: October 1, 2018
  1. Acceptance
  2. Signing a copy of these terms is not required. Any purchase, use of our services, or acceptance of a quote or a proposal implies that you are satisfied by and have accepted our terms and conditions.

    It is your responsibility to make sure that you have carefully read all the terms and conditions outlined below.

  3. Charges
  4. Charges for services to be provided by Alt Labs, Inc. are defined in the project quotation that the Client receives via e-mail. Quotations are valid for a period of 30 days. Alt Labs, Inc. reserves the right to alter or decline to provide a quotation after expiry of the 30 days.

    Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all services require an advance payment of a minimum of twenty-five (25) percent of the project quotation total before the work is supplied to the Client for review. A second charge of twenty-five (25) percent is required after the development stage as outlined in the schedule provided, with the remaining fifty (50) percent of the project quotation total due upon completion of the work, prior to upload to the server or release of any materials.

  5. Client Review
  6. Alt Labs, Inc. will provide the Client with an opportunity to review the appearance and content of the app or website during the design phase and once the overall app or website is completed. At the completion of the project, such materials will be deemed to be accepted and approved unless the Client notifies Alt Labs, Inc. otherwise within ten (10) days of the date the materials are made available to the Client.

  7. Turnaround Time and Content Control
  8. Alt Labs, Inc. will install and publicly post or supply the Client's app or website by the date specified in the project proposal, or at the date agreed with the Client upon Alt Labs, Inc. receiving the initial payment, unless a delay is specifically requested by the Client and agreed upon by Alt Labs, Inc.. A delay at the request of the client does not automatically delay the final payment.

    The Client agrees to delegate a single individual as a primary contact to aid Alt Labs, Inc. with progressing the commission in a satisfactory and expedient manner.

    During the project, Alt Labs, Inc. will require the Client to provide all content; including, but not limited to, text, images, movies and sound files.

  9. Failure to provide required content
  10. Alt Labs, Inc. is a small business, to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. This means that we may have to reject other offers for work from other potential clients to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged.

    This is why we ask that you provide us with all the required information in advance. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your app or website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed time frame, and we are delayed as result, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge of up to 25%.

    If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do so within one (1) week of project commencement, we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, what the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so yourself.

    NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your app or website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed app or website pages. Contact us if you need clarification on this.

  11. Payment
  12. Invoices will be provided by Alt Labs, Inc. upon completion but before publishing the live app or website or handing over full-size images. Invoices are normally sent via email; however, the Client may choose to receive hard copy invoices. Invoices are due upon receipt. Accounts that remain unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice will be assessed a service charge in the amount of five percent (5%) per month of the total amount due.

  13. Additional Expenses
  14. Client agrees to reimburse Alt Labs, Inc. for any additional expenses necessary for the completion of the work. Examples would be purchase of special fonts, stock photography etc.

  15. Web Browsers and Devices
  16. Alt Labs, Inc. makes every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current browsers (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc.). The client agrees that Alt Labs, Inc. cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.

    Alt Labs, Inc. cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the initial proposal date. As such, Alt Labs, Inc. reserves the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with updated browser software.

    Alt Labs, Inc. will also make every effort to ensure that apps work on as many devices as possible. Unless otherwise specified, apps will be developed to work on the current and previous generations of both Android and the iOS operating systems. The client agrees that Alt Labs, Inc. cannot guarantee correct functionality across different operating systems and devices.

  17. Default
  18. Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on Alt Labs, Inc.'s Web space, Alt Labs, Inc. will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. Alt Labs, Inc. is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client's account. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay Alt Labs, Inc. reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by Alt Labs, Inc. in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.
