Terms And Conditions
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of services by Daragh Manning ('we', 'our', 'us') to clients ('you', 'your', 'the Client'). By accepting these Terms and Conditions through our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by them.
2. Independent Contractor Relationship
The relationship between us is that of independent contractor and client. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship, partnership, or joint venture. You are not our agent or representative unless expressly authorized in writing.
3. Term
The term of this agreement will be as agreed upon by the parties through written communication, such as email or other documented correspondence. This term may be extended or modified by mutual written consent.
4. Payment Terms
All invoices are due within 7 days from the date of issue. Payment must be made via the agreed-upon methods as specified in the invoice. Timely payment ensures the smooth continuation of services.
5. Late Payment Fees
Invoices not settled within the 7-day payment period will incur a late fee of 5% of the outstanding balance. An additional 2% interest will be charged monthly (or part thereof) on any overdue balance until full payment is received.
6. Costs Incurred
Any costs incurred by us in the process of delivering services to you, including but not limited to travel expenses, materials, third-party services, or administrative fees, will be added to your invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing.
All reimbursable costs will require prior written approval from you before they are incurred. For any single cost exceeding $500, we will provide advance notice and seek your approval before proceeding. Itemized details of all incurred costs will be included in the invoice for transparency.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep all sensitive business information confidential, including but not limited to client lists, business strategies, and proprietary information, unless required by law. This obligation continues even after the termination of this agreement.
8. Termination Clause
Either party may terminate this agreement with 30 days' written notice. Immediate termination may occur if either party breaches the agreement, fails to perform obligations, becomes insolvent, or engages in conduct that damages the other party's reputation.
9. Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises, both parties will attempt to resolve it amicably through direct negotiation. If unresolved within 14 days, the matter will proceed to mediation with a mutually agreed mediator. If mediation fails, disputes may be referred to arbitration, with costs shared equally unless otherwise determined.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any claims, damages, or expenses arising directly or indirectly from your actions, omissions, or breaches of this agreement. This clause survives the termination of this agreement.
11. Conflict of Interest
You agree not to engage in activities that conflict with our interests without prior written consent. This includes providing similar services to competitors that could compromise our business relationship.
12. Operating Expenses
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we are not responsible for covering any operational costs of your business. Delays in payment may impact our ability to continue providing services effectively.
13. Entire Agreement
This document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, superseding all prior agreements or understandings. Any amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties.
These terms and conditions are subject to change with prior written notice. By confirming acceptance through our website, you agree to the terms outlined above.
