GibsonFX's Responsibilities
Our business mission is to get you a website that you are sure to love. To this end we do our very best to keep our own website as clear and up to date as possible. However, we cannot guarantee content accuracy, nor can we take responsibility for the content of any websites we link to. We make no promises that products and services we provide will be fit for purpose, especially if your instructions are not clear, or if for any reason work ends prematurely. We also make no guarantee of functionality of third party software we may provide. We hope you will assist and contact us if you see anything on our site that seems to be misleading or inaccurate. We will take your comments seriously and look into taking corrective action if and when possible.
This website (and any subdomains bearing the GibsonFX and GibsonFX brand) is intended to advertise our services and display our skills. Whilst we are happy to work with most businesses we reserve the right to pick and choose our clients. We may on occasion refuse to carry out work requested – especially where we do not agree with the ethics of a business in terms of their strategy or products (e.g. weight loss products, pornographic content or the sale of weapons/drugs).
Invoices & Payment
All our invoices are issued electronically and sent via email. If you require a paper copy of this invoice please contact us within 3 days. Please note that our invoice terms are 7 days NET (unless arranged with us otherwise), so please process this invoice within that time.
Invoices which are paid late may be subject to late payment fees at a rate of 1.5% per month or part thereof. Any disputes you may have regarding this invoice must be made within 15 days of the invoice date. In the event that this invoice is not paid within a reasonable time frame, we reserve the right to recover the invoice total, plus interest, together with any costs incurred during the our recovery process (including but not necessarily limited to, debt collection agency fees, legal costs calculated on a solicitor and/or own client basis). These costs can be substantial, so if you are having difficulty in paying this invoice, please contact us without delay and we may consider a payment plan. We also reserve the right to register your failure to pay with any appropriate credit reference agencies or reporting companies. Currency is in Great British Pounds unless otherwise stated.
Payment terms depend on your status as a client. Long term clients are billed once per month, or if the value of services provided is over £300. New clients are required to pay either 50% or 100% upfront depending on our risk assessment.
If for whatever reason we do not receive payment for products/services provided within the allotted time, we reserve the right to remove any and all related materials from any servers on which they are located, which will be restored once payment is received.
It’s important for you to understand that when you purchase a website/service from us we may use third party plugins, themes, code and other products and services. We purchase the necessary rights to use them if required for your website development. Any licences are for single use only.
You have no legal right to redistribute any of these third party products or services freely or for payment. You also have no right to use them on any other website, and to do so will be a violation of our terms. Standard licences and international copyright law apply, and everything is set-up for single site use. Any additional use is likely to be a violation of our third party terms and could result in legal action.
We reserve the right to: share any data you have submitted to us with our partners, set cookies on your device, build custom audiences for remarketing and save heatmap data about your visit. We also reserve the right to show adverts for which we receive an commission when you view them, click on them or sign up for a trial.

All fees and prices will be agreed upon with the client on a job by job basis, or at an hourly rate of £35 per hour, unless otherwise stated, and the turnaround time and feature details provided, are only estimates and are not guaranteed. When you decide to use our services we will draw up a contract with full price and other project details clearly stated for fixed price work, unless working on continued hourly projects where clients will be invoice at the end of each month.
