Service Terms & Conditions
TERMS & CONDITIONS
The following Terms and Conditions of Service apply to all products and services provided by We Make Them (hereinafter referred to as “We Make Them” or “WMT” or “The Company”) and in the event of any dispute are governed by the laws of Malaysia.
All work is carried out by We Make Them on the understanding that the client (“The Client”) has agreed to our terms and conditions.
Copyright is retained by We Make Them on all design work including words, pictures, ideas, visuals and illustrations unless specifically released in writing and after all costs have been settled.
If a choice of a campaign theme, campaign plans; strategy; copywriting; or designs is presented and one is chosen for your project, only that solution is deemed to be given by us as fulfilling the contract. All other campaign plans; strategy; copywriting; or designs remain the property of We Make Them, unless specifically agreed in writing.
PROJECT ACCEPTANCE
At the time of proposal, We Make Them will provide the client with a written estimate or quotation by email or SMS or WhatsApp or Telegram or FB Message or Instagram Direct Message. These Terms and Conditions can be read at any time on the We Make Them website.
A copy of the written estimate or quotation is to be signed and dated by the client to indicate acceptance and should be returned to We Make Them.
Alternatively, the client may send an official purchase order in reply to the estimate or quotation which binds the client to accept our terms and conditions, or an email, WhatsApp Messages, Telegram Messages, Instagram Direct Message or any other form of communications acknowledging acceptance of the quotation.
For the avoidance of doubt, the We Make Them Terms & Conditions are what govern the job, not any conditions on the client’s purchase order.
SERVICE CHARGES
Charges for services to be provided by We Make Them will be set out in the written estimate or quotation that is provided to the client. At the time of the client’s signed acceptance of this estimate or quotation, indicating acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, a non-refundable payment of 50% of the quoted fee will become immediately due.
Unless agreed otherwise with the Client, all services require a full payment of the project quotation total before the work commences or is supplied to the Client for review.
SOURCE FILES
We will supply proofs and PDF files as appropriate for printing, or other graphic files as detailed in the job scope or request.
Charges for work do not cover the release of our copyright source files, including but not restricted to INDD, PSD, AI, JPEG, PNG, FLA or other source files or raw code; if the Client requires these files for transfer to an in-house or other designer, they will be subject to a separate quotation or ‘buy-out’ charge.
CHARGES FOR OTHER SERVICES
Charges for any additional services requested during the project that are over and above the estimated time or out of scope, will become fully payable (100% of the quoted amount) at the time of estimate or quotation acceptance.
PAYMENT
The client will be provided with an Approval Form or Proof Email or an Invoice prior to project commencement. At this time, the amount due will become payable and the client will also be required to sign and return the Approval Form or signify approval by email, WhatsApp Messages, Telegram Messages, Instagram Direct Message or any other form of communications to We Make Them.
Any invoice queries must be submitted by email within 7 days of the invoice date.
Accounts which remain outstanding for 30 days after the date of invoice, will incur late payment interest charge at 5% on the outstanding amount from the date due until the date of payment.
Payments may be made by Online Bank Transfer or Cash Deposit.
Publication and/or release of work done by We Make Them on behalf of the client, may not take place before cleared funds have been received.
DEFAULT
An account shall be considered default if it remains unpaid for 30 days from the date of invoice, or following a failed transaction. We Make Them shall be entitled to remove We Make Them‘s and/or the client’s material from any and all computer systems, until the amount due has been fully paid. This includes any and all unpaid monies due for services, including, but not limited to, campaign planning, strategising, copywriting and designs.
Removal of such materials does not relieve the client of its obligation to pay the due amount.
Customers whose accounts become default agree to pay all We Make Them‘s reasonable legal and accounting expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of the debt and these Terms and Conditions.
COPYRIGHTS AND TRADEMARKS
By supplying text, images and other data to We Make Them for inclusion in the client’s WMT content, project, campaigns or other medium, the client declares that it holds the appropriate copyright and/or trademark permissions.
