11. Delivery and extensions
As a company, we will always make all best endeavours to ensure that client work is delivered by the agreed deadline(s). In exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary for us to extend deadlines by the minimum period necessary to guarantee delivery of work of the standard ordered. Such extensions may be applied in such circumstances as (but not limited to):
a) Where the client does not provide necessary supporting materials by an agreed deadline.
b) Where the quality of received supporting materials is substantially lower than promised by the client.
c) Where the appointed mentor finds that there are elements of the work which require more research than could have been reasonably foreseen at the outset of the project.
Whilst the company will always seek to consult with clients on such extensions, the company is the ultimate decision-maker and arbiter for such extensions. Where the company deems an extension necessary, no credit or refund will be automatically given if the cause of the delay is late submission or poor quality of client materials. Where the company accepts culpability for the cause of any such extension, such as for example where the mentor is ill or where unexpected IT problems are encountered, we will offer a company credit or cash refund (to be decided by the company) at the rate of 20% of the original total fee per 24 hours that the work is late.
