The kind of information that you must supply to us may include but is certainly not limited to photographs, logo(s), content written copy, logos, and other printed material as mutually consented to, at the beginning of the project. If there is any delay from your side in sharing this information with us as a result of which, there are any further delays in finalising and completing your Signage / Graphics and development work, we reserve all rights to extend the deadlines in the actual agreement by a certainly reasonable amount.
If at any instance you do not share the necessary information with us that leads to major delays and put a stop to any further progress that we would initially have, we have the authority to invoice you for the parts of work that have already been performed by us.
- Turnaround Times & Revisions
We are glad to give you the opportunity to share your inputs on the work supplied by us. In addition to this, we are pleased to make changes as per your request subject to our mutual agreement on the proposal in the first place. However, this also gives us the right to limit the round of changes that you can have for a Design / Sign Work. If you may have to make changes that do not adhere to the original proposal, we can rightfully charge you a reasonable extra fee.
Nevertheless, our services are flexible and the protocol we follow allows a specific round of changes for you to make revisions to the supplied work after your perusal.
- Project Delays & Client Accountability
The completion times we specify at the start of the proposal are only estimates and are subject to our coordination and cooperation with the client. Following an agile methodology, we would need feedback at various stages of the project to ensure that what we provide in the end is a finished product. Sign World is entitled to have a delegated point of contact from the client to understand your expectations and enhance the feedback process. The client is accountable for ensuring regular feedback as per the mutually agreed proposal from the commencement to completion of the design and/or development Sign / Graphics project. Feedback from your side and be made available daily in order to fasten the feedback process.
- Acceptance of Work
Upon sharing the first draft of the Design, you will have the opportunity to scrutinize the work. It is deemed necessary for you to notify us in writing; of any changes or unsatisfactory remarks that you may have on the work within 7 days of sharing the first draft with you.
Any work that has not been reported to us in writing as unsatisfactory within 7 days will be considered as your acceptance of the work supplied by Sign World.
Once the work is accepted or is considered as acceptance, it cannot be subject to rejection of work and 50% of the balance fee will be deemed as outstanding and payable from your end.
- Rejection of Work
If you, the client, reject any of the Design Proof and/or development work within the specified time frame of 7 days, or do not approve of the ensuing work after your disapproval at first place, we, acting reasonably would reconsider and re-perform the work on certain points, and if you have been unreasonable in rejecting the work we can choose to consider it as an end of the contract. This consideration makes you accountable to settle the outstanding balance amount and gives us the right to take all possible measures to retrieve the payment as on the completion of the project.

After the time allowed for review, that is, 7 days, Sign World will invoice you for the 50% balance of your project fee following the quotation mutually agreed by the organisation and/or its representatives/employees and the client.
