Terms & Conditions
The Legal Bits (We’ll Keep It Snappy!)
Any agreement made between us, Articul8 Media Limited (“We” / “Our”), and you, the Client (“You” / “Your”).
These terms apply to you, the Client, the Advertiser, the Contributor and any Advertising Agencies or Customers using our paid services and products. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge our mutual commitment outlined below.
Our Commitment to You
We promise to deliver our services following industry best practices and the high standards you’d expect from seasoned professionals. However, while we strive for excellence, we can’t be held liable for damages like lost profits, savings, or other incidental or special damages—even if you’ve told us about them. That said, we’ll do our utmost to resolve any issues swiftly and provide a reasonable time frame for approvals before publication.
Your liability to us is also limited to the fees payable under this agreement. You’re not responsible for incidental or special damages either.
If any part of this agreement becomes unlawful or unenforceable, it won’t affect the validity of the rest. (Phew!)
What We Expect from You
You confirm that any text, images, or artwork you supply are yours or that you have permission to use them. If there’s any claim by a third party over intellectual property, you agree to protect us from such claims.
Likewise, any work we deliver will be owned by us or have the proper permissions. Once you’ve paid in full and this agreement hasn’t been terminated, we’ll assign intellectual property rights for the advert we create to you. You’ll receive all source and final files, but keep them safe (we’ll back them up too).
We retain ownership of intellectual property developed independently or outside the scope of this agreement. For this project, we’ll license its use to you exclusively and indefinitely unless we agree otherwise.
Showcasing Our Work
We love to celebrate our collaborations!
We promote our work and that of our clients, and you rightly expect us to do that. After all, that’s what this is all about!
We may feature elements of your project—including drafts, work-in-progress, and the final design—in our portfolio, articles, and social media. If there’s a specific reason you’d rather we didn’t, just let us know.
Payment Schedule (AKA: Let’s Keep the Lights On!)
We’re a small, creative business, so prompt payments keep the magic happening! Here’s how we work:
Payment is due immediately upon receiving your invoice. Work begins once we have your email confirmation.
Invoices are issued electronically via Xero. Payment methods include BACS or SWIFT transfers. All invoices are in £ GBP (ex. VAT), with equivalent rates available for € EUR, $ USD, and $ AUD.
​
Late payments will accrue interest at a rate of 5% per month (or part thereof). Let’s avoid that!
Cancellations
We get it—life happens. If you need to cancel, here’s the deal:
No cancellations within 48 hours of the publication date or 7 days after booking confirmation.
Cancellations within the 7-day window are eligible for a full refund.
Outside this window, cancellations incur a 10% admin fee. We’ll refund 90% of your total invoice, or you’ll owe us 10% if work has started.
Let’s hope it never comes to that!
Intellectual Property Rights (AKA: The Nerdy Bit)
“Intellectual Property Rights” include all copyrights, trademarks, design rights, patents, and more—registered or unregistered. This also covers goodwill, confidential information, and any other legal protections worldwide. Long story short: if it’s yours, it’s yours; if it’s ours, it’s ours.
The Really Small Print…
This agreement isn’t transferable without both parties agreeing. We both commit to complying with all relevant laws and regulations. If one part of this agreement is invalid, the rest still stands.
While we’ve kept the tone light and fun, this document is legally binding—and enforceable if needed.
