In this agreement, "we" refers to "Apex CJV Solutions," and "you" refers to the "Client."
1. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS
a. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing:
b. A deposit of the total fee payable under our proposal is due immediately upon the Client instructing us to proceed with the website design, development, marketing, content production, business consultation, or sales brokerage/procurement work.
c. Any remaining balance shall become due as agreed upon by our team and subject to the terms of the "Approval of Work" and "Rejected Work" clauses.
d. In the case of blocks of hours purchased by the Client, we will work according to the specified number of hours. Once the allotted hours are exhausted, the Client must request and pay for additional hours.
e. We reserve the right not to commence any work until a new block of hours has been paid in full.
f. All payments made to Apex CJV Solutions are final and non-refundable.
g. We reserve the right to contract a third-party collection agency in the Client's local area to collect any unpaid balance for work performed by our team.
h. Any overdue balance remaining unpaid for more than one calendar month shall be subject to an interest rate of 13% per month, compounded monthly. If this interest rate exceeds the maximum allowable by law, it shall be reduced to the maximum legal rate.
i. Cryptocurrency payments must be sent to the wallet address specified on the invoice issued by Apex CJV Solutions. Sending other cryptocurrencies to the specified address may result in loss of funds, for which Apex CJV Solutions shall not be held liable. Work shall not commence until payment is received and confirmed.
j. Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days’ written notice unless specified otherwise in a formal signed contract. Any fees due during the notice period shall remain payable.
2. SUPPLY OF MATERIALS
The Client must supply all necessary materials, including but not limited to photographs, written content, logos, and other media, required for project completion. Delays in material submission may result in extensions of previously agreed deadlines or invoicing for work already completed.
3. REVISIONS AND VARIATIONS
We provide a reasonable number of revisions to the work performed. However, additional revisions beyond a reasonable limit may be subject to additional charges. Major deviations from the original project scope will be billed at a rate of $250.00 USD per hour plus applicable taxes and fees.
4. PROJECT DELAYS AND CLIENT LIABILITY
Project timelines are contingent upon the Client’s full cooperation, including providing timely feedback. A single point of contact must be designated by the Client for efficient communication.
5. APPROVAL AND REJECTION OF WORK
Upon project completion, the Client shall have seven (7) calendar days to review the work. Failure to notify Apex CJV Solutions in writing of any issues within this period shall constitute approval. If the Client unreasonably rejects work, we may terminate the contract and seek payment for completed work.
6. WARRANTY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Client must obtain all necessary permissions for materials provided to Apex CJV Solutions. The Client shall indemnify Apex CJV Solutions against any claims related to provided content. Ownership of work transfers to the Client upon final payment and approval.
