Our Relationship
We’ll always do our best to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong. In this contract, you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We’ve no desire to trick you into agreeing to something that you might later regret. We try to do what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

If any of these things occur, we will try and fix any resulting problems as soon as we can. However, if we can’t resolve things to your satisfaction, our maximum liability to you is limited to the amount payable under this contract.

We agree to assign our intellectual property in the original works created by us under this agreement. This assignment will occur automatically once your payment to us under this agreement has cleared.
At Crunchy Digital, we love to show off our work and share what we’ve learned with other people, so we reserve the right to display and link to your project (including your name, business name and website address) as part of our portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles and in books.

Confidentiality

If you wish to end your agreement with us you need to give us at least 30 days written notice. You also acknowledge that you are not entitled to a refund for the remaining term of your agreement if you cancel early.
Disputes
In the event a disagreement occurs that we can’t resolve between ourselves, we suggest that each of us nominate someone who is not directly involved to act as our representatives. These representatives can then attempt to negotiate a solution that is mutually acceptable to both of us. Crunchy Digital also reserves the right to pass on external collection costs to you if you breach payment terms for over 60 days.
But Where’s All the Small Print?
You can’t transfer this contract to anyone else without our permission. If, for some reason, one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place.
