3.1 Timing
You agree that you will advise Ucidity in writing of any deadlines for the completion of the Services or the provision of the Deliverables to you prior to Ucidity commencing the Services. Ucidity will use its best endeavours to meet any such deadline(s) if it is aware of the deadline(s) prior to commencing the Services, but will not be liable for any delay caused by factors beyond its control (including, but not limited to, illness, injury, server failure, act of God and industrial action).
Where milestones are stated in the Schedule, Ucidity agrees to use its best endeavours to meet those Milestones. If it appears that Ucidity will not be able to meet a Milestone, Ucidity will advise you as soon as possible of this fact, and will advise the date by which it believes it will be able to provide the relevant Draft or Deliverable.
If, after commencement of the Services, you advise Ucidity that a Draft or Deliverable is required either earlier than you had previously advised, or earlier than the relevant Milestone, then Ucidity reserves the right to charge a premium of up to 20% of the hourly rates set out in the Schedule in consideration of meeting the earlier deadline.
Ucidity is not liable for any delays resulting from: (a) changes required by you to the Project, the Services, or the Deliverables; (b) delays in you responding to enquiries from Ucidity relating to the Project, the Services, or the Deliverables; or (c) delays by you in approving Drafts, mock-ups, or any revisions of the Deliverables.

You agree that you will either approve or reject any such Draft in writing, within 3 business days. If you reject a Draft, you agree that you will also provide Ucidity with the reasons for any such rejection, and clear instructions as to your proposed amendments to the Draft in order to bring it to your satisfaction.

If a deposit is not requested by Ucidity, you acknowledge and agree that Ucidity has provided you with these Terms and Conditions prior to commencing the Services, and by instructing Ucidity to commence the Services you have accepted these Terms and Conditions.
If Milestones are stated in the Schedule, then any payments are due on the date set out in the Schedule.

Payment is due within 7 days of issue of the invoice to you.

Interest will be charged on unpaid invoiced amounts at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated daily, and you acknowledge that this amount is a true reflection of Ucidity’s losses as a result of non-payment. The interest payable under this clause will be added to any subsequent invoice, and Ucidity retains all copyright and other intellectual rights in Drafts, Deliverables or any other materials supplied to you until any such interest is paid in full.
