COSMO, Inc. is pleased to set out its Terms and Conditions, which will apply to the work we do for you. These Terms and Conditions and the Quote/Production Estimate are supplied to you from the contract between us to provide COSMO's services.

‍1. COSMO’s Role:
‍1.1. The Services: COSMO, Inc. will provide the services described in the Quote/Production Estimate. As an assignment develops, it may be that the scope of the required work changes. Where this is the case, COSMO will seek to discuss it with you at the earliest opportunity to agree upon any variations to the scope of the Services and the Quote/Production Estimate, which may be necessary.

Authors Corrections. Unless specified in the Quote/Proposal, we include two rounds of changes on all items following the presentation of an initial concept. Revisions briefed after that will be charged according to COSMO's standard hourly rate card.

1.2. Information: To maximise COSMO's effectiveness, we must work with you as a team. COSMO's work will often depend on you (or your other advisers) providing information promptly. To avoid unnecessary verification, COSMO will assume all information you provide is complete and accurate unless you tell us otherwise.

1.3. Incidentals: Couriers or printed proofs from external printers if required, to be charged to the client.

1.4. Termination: Should you wish to terminate the contract after the commencement of work, you will be invoiced for work already completed.

1.5. Force Majeure: COSMO, Inc. shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations where such delay or failure to perform arises from circumstances outside COSMO's reasonable control.

2. Payment Terms:
‍2.1. Payment Terms: Invoices shall be settled by bank transfer into COSMO’s nominated bank account within 14 days of the date on the invoice unless agreed otherwise. COSMO shall retain ownership of all work until full payment has been made.

2.2. Other Specialist Services: COSMO’s estimate is exclusive of third-party costs such as photography, illustration, video production, sound recording etc unless otherwise included in the estimate. COSMO, Inc. may, unless you instruct us otherwise, seek such specialist services on areas outside our expertise. The costs of such services will be passed on to and will be quoted according.

‍3.1. In most cases, COSMO, Inc. will provide a scoping document which details the functionality in the work we do for our clients, this includes but is not limited to a website, application or marketing campaign. Where the client signs and approves this scoping document, any changes beyond the scope will be handled as a new update and priced accordingly.

All content must be supplied in a suitable digital format unless agreed otherwise beforehand. Images should be supplied as jpeg, gif, tif, png or psd format. The text should be supplied as a MS Word/Google Doc. Failure to supply material in an easily accessible format may incur additional costs for retyping text. A further charge may be made if the content is provided in a form where a significant amount of copywriting is required.

COSMO will assume that all images supplied to us are owned by the Client or have been purchased from stock libraries and are licensed to the client for use. We cannot use images taken from Google.
