All estimates given by Nick Moffett Design Limited will be valid for 28 days from the date of estimate.

If the client’s final order changes from the original specification made for the quotation, Nick Moffett Design Limited reserves the right to vary the estimate.

Estimates assume that the all content such as copy, text, pictures, graphs, pie charts, tables and other illustrations received from the client are correct, final and require no further amendments.

3. Turnaround times

It is up to the client to set themselves realistic timescales for the production of graphic design and/or printed work. As well as weekends, national holidays and the constraints of normal office hours, there are elements of the creative and printing process which cannot be fast-tracked (such as creative generation, copywriting, print drying times, folding etc).

Where quoted, turnaround times are estimated target times only and Nick Moffett Design Limited accepts no liability for failure to meet these times, but will always do its best to do so.

Where a client misses a time critical deadline, this may result in their work missing printing slots booked on a client’s behalf. This will usually result in missed delivery deadlines. We will use our best endeavours to minimise the adverse impact of missed deadlines –but the onus is on the Client to meet agreed deadlines in the first place.
