Revisions and Alterations
What is included in the scope of the project, and what is excluded from the scope of the project.

Charges for design services to be provided by MagnetMonster will be set out in the written estimate or quotation (SOW) 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 will become immediately due.

The Client agrees that changes required over and above the estimated work, or in addition to the agreed scope, or where the client makes changes to the supplied copy or changes required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design, will be liable to a separate charge.

The customer also agrees that MagnetMonster holds no responsibility for any amendments made by any third party, before or after a design is published.

Any and all revision requests, updates, corrections, additions or variations MUST be furnished to MagnetMonster in writing. Revisions may be discussed verbally, however, no work will be carried out until the Client submits their revisions in writing by email.

The Client understands that any and all revision requests, updates, corrections, additions or variations outside of the agreed number of revisions, will incur an hourly billable or project charge. Design work is not done free of charge unless otherwise arranged with MagnetMonster explicitly and clearly in writing.

Unless otherwise agreed, MagnetMonster will complete ONE (1) large revision stage, and typically ONE (1), but up to TWO (2) [where specified] minor revision stages. Revision requests are to be made within FIVE (5) business days of receiving the proofs*. If no revisions are requested within this time, it is assumed that the submitted proof is the accepted final. Any revisions made after this point are subject to additional fees at the hourly rate.

A large revision stage would include, but not be limited to, moving photos and text around the page, amending branding/theme design, and larger structural design changes; meaning we are doing layout changes and that would be classed as a major revision.

A minor revision stage would include, but not be limited to, changing a short text phrase or small copy edits, swapping image choice, or amending titles; which do not impact the theme branding or layout and would be a minor revision.

The total project quote or rate provided by MagnetMonster is based on a reasonable average or specified number of revisions per design item, and associated number of billable hours. On the occasion the Client requests drafts or revisions that go beyond the scope of the original quote or rate, MagnetMonster reserves the right to charge an additional hourly rate upon informing the Client that the request will incur an additional cost.

*It is essential to note that should feedback not be received within five (5) business days, the email will be deployed as per the proposed schedule date and accepted as approved by the Client.

MagnetMonster will document all required integration points.

Response Time: Accelerate Commerce Ltd (UK) trading as MagnetMonster, and/or Magnet Monster PTE Ltd (SG) will aim to reply to written support requests within the standard response times for project work. Should the Customer require real time support, the SOW will specify the terms and costs for real-time or high priority support.

If more than one Customer contact needs access to this system, additional access fees may apply and will be sent to the Customer for approval before access is given.

Text Chat: MagnetMonster will create and use a dedicated Slack channel for general project communication. Slack will not be used as a method for tracking bugs or feature requests, but rather as a place for MagnetMonster and our Customer to discuss questions or general project updates.
