Terms and Conditions | Just Bee Social

Mutual Cooperation

We agree to use our best efforts to fulfil and exceed your expectation on the deliverables. You agree to aid us in doing so by making available to us needed information pertaining to your brand and website to cooperate with us in expediting the work.

Charges for Services Performed

Requests above and beyond those listed in the budget may be considered out-of-scope and an amendment to the budget will be recommended. Projects that go dormant for longer than 45 days will incur fee to resume work at the discretion of Just Bee Social.

Projects of this nature may encounter situations that result in ‘project creep’. Project creep refers to instances where the initial project scope expands or requires the inclusion of unforeseen third-party applications.

While project creep is not inherently negative and often occurs organically during the marketing process, it is not accounted for in estimates provided to the client. However, should project creep arise, Just Bee Social will thoroughly discuss it with the client for approval before undertaking any further work.

The most common reasons for project creep include:

Clients identifying potential enhancements to features and desiring further improvements.
Deviations in the originally described data provided.
Modifications to agreed-upon designs once development has commenced.

Billing Schedule

We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. We’re also sure you’ll want to maintain a positive working relationship and keep the project moving forward, so you agree to stick tight to the payment schedule.

The costs provided in the proposal are solely based on the covered details. Please note that all costs mentioned are exclusive of VAT @ 20%. We kindly request that invoices be settled within 7 days upon receipt. The delivery of assets will only be initiated once all outstanding project payments have been received.

Just Bee Social will invoice fifty per cent (50%) of the initial fees at the point of the signed contract agreement which will act as the deposit. The remaining 50% will be billed once complete or as the service hours are spent or when the project is launched.

For larger projects, Just Bee Social provide two payment options:

50% upfront and 50% upon completion (per project): This option is highly favoured by our clients as it allows us to commence work on your project promptly.
Monthly retainer: This option is well-suited for ongoing projects. We will align the payment schedule on a monthly basis according to your project timeline, ensuring it corresponds with the estimated completion date. This approach offers you peace of mind, as your project progresses with a well-defined strategy and plan. The retainer fee will be determined based on the estimated project cost and will be adjusted in accordance with monthly activities.

The client will supply Just Bee Social with all necessary purchase order numbers and other internal information required for invoice processing before the close of the month of work (if applicable).

Client Agreement to Pay

You agree to pay our initial (1st) invoice upon receipt which will act as a deposit for the project. Every invoice after the one-off projects listed above will have 14 day payment terms. In the event payment is not made within 14 days, Just Bee Social will charge a late payment fee of 1% per month on any overdue and unpaid balance not in dispute, to cover the manpower, interest, and other costs Just Bee Social pays for carrying overdue invoices . In addition, Just Bee Social reserves the right to stop work until payment is received.

Collection Costs

In the event that we incur legal fees, costs and disbursements in an effort to collect our invoices, in addition to interest on the unpaid balance, you agree to reimburse us for these expenses.

Cancellation of Plans

You have the right to modify, reject, cancel or stop any and all plans or work in process. However, you agree to reimburse us for all costs and expenses we incurred prior to your change in instructions, and which relate to non-cancellable commitments, and to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless for any liability relating to such action. We agree to use our best efforts to minimise such costs and expenses.
