Terms and Conditions

By engaging Lemon Drop Copywriting you agree to our Terms and Conditions.

Fee Estimates 

Fee estimates and proposals are provided by Lemon Drop Copywriting free of charge.

This may include guidance on the approach businesses take and suggested media for a project. We cannot accept liability for any action businesses take, or do not take, as a result of acting on our advice.

Payment 
We ask for 50% of the agreed fee to be paid at the beginning of the project, unless the project value is under £250 then full payment in advance will be required. An email confirming the project brief and the fee payable is required before we are able to start work on your project.

An invoice is sent upon completion of the project for the remaining balance. Payment is on strict 7-day terms. Please pay on time.

If no response is received from you within 14 days of submission of the work, the project is considered complete and an invoice will be issued.

Late payment

In accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 an additional interest fee may be charged if payment is late.  

You will also be required to pay any recovery costs we incur while chasing your payment.

Changes and Revisions

Up to two rounds of changes are included in the project fees, after submission of the initial draft, as long as the suggested amendments fall within the specification of the agreed brief.

Additional fees may apply if you wish to add to or change the scope of the agreed brief after the project begins.

We will supply the copy to you as a Microsoft Word document.

Cancellation

50% of the agreed fee will be charged if the project is cancelled part way through and prior to submission. The full fee will apply once an initial draft has been submitted.

Deadlines

If you miss calls or meetings with us, fail to supply requested information by agreed dates, or are late with a payment, it may not be possible to stick to the agreed timings for the project, which can cause additional delays.

We cannot be responsible for deadlines missed due to circumstances completely beyond our control, such as family emergencies, illness and so on.

Copyright/ownership of content

When we have received full and final payment, ownership and copyright of the work is automatically assigned to you. Until final payment is received, copyright of the work remains with Lemon Drop Copywriting. We will pursue our intellectual rights to ownership if content if used before full payment is received.

You accept all responsibility for any copyright issues which arise from the publication of content produced by us that summarises, rephrases or otherwise refers to third-party sources at your request and as part of the agreed project.

Errors and omissions

Lemon Drop Copywriting will make every effort to avoid errors, inaccurate implications, omissions, misrepresentations and other inaccuracies in the copy and content we produce for you. However, the final responsibility for published materials remains with you.

Please ensure that you have thoroughly reviewed the copy and content, as the ultimate responsibility for the copy lies with you. We cannot accept responsibility or liability of any kind for any loss or damage, whether material, financial, commercial or reputational, that you incur as a result of your choosing to publish materials that we have worked on.
