• Sandcress may offer additional services to the package you have booked free of charge during the term of the agreed package but are under no obligation to do so.  Should you require any additional services from Sandcress that have not been included within the outlined package, a quote should be requested.
• Agreement to this contract does not guarantee success of the business.  Cressida Johns of Sandcress will provide guidance and support as outlined in the package details using extensive marketing, sales and commercial experience gained over more than 20 years in the industry.
• If you have taken the option of paying in installments you must adhere to the payment schedule detailed in the package.The client agrees that by agreeing to these terms and conditions, the full amount of the package is due and will be paid in line with the payment schedule.  As the majority of the work invested by Sandcress to assist the client will take place in the first 4 weeks of the package, if any payment is late then the full remaining amount of the package will immediately become due, regardless of the work that has been delivered.  If you think you may be late in making a payment, please discuss this with us as soon as possible as we may be able to provide an extension to the payment term.  If payment is late without prior notification, or a subsequent arrangement is not adhered to, any discount offered will be revoked and the full amount will become due.  Sandcress reserves the right to add a 20% admin fee and interest at the current Bank of England rate on to any late payment. 
• Should you decide you no longer require the package, the full amount will still be due and no refunds will be offered.
• Any design work included in the package will fall under our usual design policies.  Full consultations will be undertaken with the client to assess their requirements.  We will work on the design until the client is 100% happy.  Once complete, the client will be sent their design in a format that they are welcome to use in the future.  The design is then theirs to do as they wish.  Should the client require any changes to the design in the future, these changes will be made at the discretion of Sandcress and a charge may be made.  If the client requires their design to be printed, Sandcress will endeavour to source high quality print at the lowest possible cost for the client using their contacts and available discounts.
• Any information provided by the client in respect to their business will be held under strictest confidence by Sandcress.
• If your package includes a support element, after the commencement of your package we will arrange regular updates to support you and the growth of your business – these can be on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on your needs.  You are also welcome to contact Cressida Johns via phone, email or WhatsApp at any time to discuss any questions or concerns you have or to share your progress.  To ensure that all Sandcress clients receive adequate support, the amount of contact by clients must be reasonable and made at reasonable hours.  Although Sandcress may respond to enquiries outside of normal working hours, we are under no obligation to do so.  If at any time Sandcress feels that a client is making unreasonable demands on their support agreement, we reserve the right to implement a more formal structure to support them and their business.
• We reserve the right to add to or make changes to the terms of your agreement at any time during the duration of your package by emailing you with an update.
